...nothing but the old con.
Paul Wolfowitz has been appointed the new World Bank chief. Isn't this like sending an ideologue to do a realist's job?
Here's the latest on that idiotic appointment.
Wolfowitz, 61, officially takes over as president of the World Bank on June 1 and has set up a transition office on the upper floors of the bank with two aides, as he eases himself into the new job.
He spent his first week meeting senior staff and has also spontaneously offered to address staff gatherings, expressing a deep respect for the institution and its mission as the globe's biggest funder of development projects.
In one meeting of more than 200 staff, Wolfowitz read out his e-mail address and invited everyone there to write him about what works and what doesn't in the bank, still widely considered sluggish and bureaucratic.
While he admitted he might not be able to reply to all e-mails, the gesture seemed clearly intended to allay lingering fears among staff worried he will tarnish the bank's image because of his central role in planning the Iraq war.yeah.
Yeah. Like he's really going to read those emails written to him without an eye to weed out opposition. Oldest trick in the extremists' book. For heaven's sake, didn't Mao do this just before the Cultural Revolution to find out his targets?
There's nothing like the feeling of knowing a confirmed, self-confessed liar in charge of the World Bank, no?
Five Wins On The Trot
The Yanks made it 5 wins in a row in spite an ugly outing by Carl Pavano, who on the whole has been pretty okay. Pavano got whacked for 5 runs in the first inning, but the Yankee offense stormed back to get 5 runs back to level it and then it was a slugfest that ended in a 13-9 Yankee win. It wasn't a good day to be a control pitcher.
Well, the Yankees have been beating up on other malfunctioning teams such as the A's and Mariners to do it, but that's exactly what this team needs to do in order to crawl out of their big hole. Let's face it, they're still 3 games under .500, and 7 games behind Baltimore in the AL East. They start their return tour out to the AL West tomorrow.
Pleiades' Alert
I got sent a tonne of interesting material from Pleaides, which I'm going to go through and then post up. There are some very interesting things in there. Part of it includes this weird phenomenon of chemtrails and Global Dimming; walls on the Saturnine moon Iapetus; and death of microbiologists.
The world is going to hell in a basket.
