odds & ends

• Interesting article in The Economist - “Turning Grey” - about the relevance or effectiveness of the IMF and the World Bank.
• Religion & Politics article from Christian Science Monitor about former Senator Jack Danforth: “The question is not whether people of faith should engage in politics, but how we should go about doing so … and whether we become a divisive or reconciling force in our country.”
• LA Business Journal report about recent Worker’s Comp bill that was vetoed by the governor. (Sometimes I miss my old Worker’s Comp days…)
• Satire gone too far? (Imagine that) This time, Elen Nordegren and husband Tiger Woods the victims.

Danforth is a wonderful dinosaur. Won’t see more people like him unless the current evangelical romance with right wing politics ends.

Oh, one more thought. Satire is all about going too far. That’s the point of it. Sometimes people won’t snap out of it unless they hear it hard and funny.

Maybe. But fake p-o-r-n pictures of your wife? What point does that bring?
