Written by Gene Gaudette   
Sunday, 07 February 2010

Edward Luce's trenchant analysis of Obama's top advisers from Thursday's Financial Times (it ran online late Wednesday) has been setting the Beltway and media circles abuzz for the last few days. I had a look at it Saturday morning, and, while I remain skeptical about a number of details, feel it sums up a major reason that Obama's agenda has not enjoyed the traction it should have had.

Mel Gibson on "The Edge of Darkness"
Written by Michael Collins   
Saturday, 30 January 2010

Edge of Darkness is worth seeing, says Michael Collins, for Mel Gibson's performance and the eerily realistic and supremely vile basis of the plot. Unfortunately, the film narrative is like the  old “Highway Patrol” series with Broderick Crawford, linear and  mundane.

Greg Palast Asks a Troubling Question
Written by Gene Gaudette   
Monday, 18 January 2010

Consider this:

How did Haiti end up so economically weakened, with infrastructure, from hospitals to water systems, busted or non-existent - there are two fire stations in the entire nation - and infrastructure so frail that the nation was simply waiting for "nature" to finish it off?
