Tom DeLay is hopefuly going to be in prison! Good! The Times editorial today featured David Brooks kind of justifying Tom DeLay... nay glorifying him for having made mistakes for the sake of the party! He talks about politics being a team game and everything TD did was for the team!!! Typical David Brooksian balderdash!!! Somebody remind him the "politics" happens to be part of public service... and the only team politicians need to be playing for is the public good. Goodness gracious me!!! Now thats an idea!!!! Oh, David Brooks!!!
Now it is interesting that his Times editorial page has a link to Andrew Sullivan. I don't quite know how to react to that.
Anyways, the other piece of news that I am cautiously optimistic about is that the World Bank and IMF have finalized plans to provide debt relief to a bunch of African countries. Why am I cautiously optimistic... because they have been doing this with debts or providing aid to poor developing countries for ages in turn for making fledgling markets that provide cheap labor and resources completely open for corporate exploitation. Lots of examples in Latin America. Lets see what happens. Meanwhile read this.

I'd be VERY cautiously optimistic. Their policies in Pakistan keep getting implemented and yet all the indicators are down, year after year. Clearly, they need to think a little more about how to spend all that money.
