UP to GPS

I love a Sunday with the talking heads and the internet. I get more information in a couple of hours than our grandparents got....well..

Bruce Bueno de Mesquita is a guest on GPS with Fareed Zecharia so then I find he delivered a talk on TED about Iran's future...he teaches at NYU and has a site, but doesn't really self promote so it's hard to find info from the man.

In the What in the World section Fareed focuses on India and how they play for neutrality, "narrowly pursuing their self interest"...hmmm....they are a market...

So here's the clergy project. Perhaps I/we could petition them to upgrade to spiritual or SBNR and to frame religion, athiesm and spirituality in developmental terms. Have they fallen from grace or are they falling into grace? We are atheism...

The focus has shifted to The World Bank with James Wolfenson on GPS. What's up with the wolves at the helm of global finances? Remember the fall of the big bad wolf?

Reid Hoffman says we should have more lunches with more innovative people....how's that for a reminder to promote the development of a social networking site that charges nominal fee and donates all the proceeds to charities. Dude is a VP of Pay Pal and helped start Linked In. He says we have to invest in the future because it changes ever faster...talking about his book....a work in progress seems to be his motto..he also asks what should I be asking/thinking/doing...there it is, sort of ....
relationships rule the world....perhaps I should mention the creation of not-for-profit restaurant/bar/bistros..
Paper Promises is the reccomended book of the week...whi
ch you can listen about thanks to NPR and watch a video about thanks to Reuters and....is this a different NPR production? It isn't really about the future of capitalism...

To finish things off I have to note that ABC's This Week has Michele Bachmann in a special one-on -on interview with host George. Really? people really still take that nutcake seriously? Looks like nothing but propagandist infotainment to me. but hey, it reminds me to search out the Fox crap about
The Language of the Left...I'll have to discect that later...but from what I've seen, they compare one man, Bill Mahaer, to ALEC and a whole bunch of legislature around the country...ridiculous...

So here's some sanity, sad, but there is global warming...
