First, the Award for Most Depressing Story of the Week has to go to NPR's David Greene for a piece called "Mailman Finds Delivery Route Altered By Recession". In it, he tags along with a mailman in Florida, looking at the plight of people who've lost their jobs, lost their houses, and some who've pretty much lost everything else -- again, from the unique perspective of a mailman who's been going door-to-door for 30 years.
