News from Another Land
Sometimes, I just need to read the news from back home. The things that make the front page on the Honolulu Star Bulletin are news blips from an entirely different world.
Yesterday's headline story covered the fate of the Akaka Bill in the Senate with a side story reporting some Native Hawaiian resistance staged on the steps of Iolani Palace. Did anyone else even realize that a bill that would grant Native Hawaiians the same status as Native Americans was in the Senate right now? In the sports section, news about the NBA finals are nestled about the main feature article on local girl Michelle Wie's LPGA Championship run. But my favorite piece -- a news story that captures the quintessentially different nature of life in the middle of the Pacific -- is this tale of shipwreck, rescue, and hero worship.
It's an insular world, sure... but it's a fun one.
