I'm now watching Fareed Zakaria's Global GPS about Egypt. In general, this is the best public affairs program on TV, and today is no exception. The discussion about developments from participants in Egypt and by U.S. diplomats and academics. The discussion is intelligent and articulate. Speakers are sharp enough to note that we should worry more about the Russian revolution precedent than the Iranian revolution precedent. A really insightful take. And no one else gets current power holders on to speak like Zakaria--David Cameron interview coming up!
BTW, the site changes from time-to-time. A great place to see the show without commercials. The site usually changes on Monday to reflect the show from the day before.
A reader's journal sharing the insights of various authors and my take on a variety of topics, most often philosophy, religion & spirituality, politics, history, economics, and works of literature. Come to think of it, diet and health, too!

More on the Financial Crisis
This article by NYT financial columnist Gretchen Morgenson reinforces what I saw last night & reinforces my belief that we haven't done nearly enough to address these problems. However, this article by Frank Partnoy (whom I think was interviewed in the film) suggests that we might find some accounting yet for the numerous misdeeds that occurred.
