Wednesday Night #1344
Oh the weather outside is frightful
And the news is not delightful
The pundits’ll trumpet our woes
While the country is clearing the snows.
Pierre Marc’s at the meeting in Bali
And there’s taekwondo in Cali
(We had to reach for that)
Chavez is wiping his tears
While Putin’s stoking all the world’s fears
At home, rates and loonies are falling
And Asian markets are stalling
Iran’s not so bad it seems
But Schreiber’s haunting poor Brian’s dreams
So, the weather outside is frightful
But Wednesdays are delightful
Let the pundits trumpet our woes
While we review them in prose
And among the prose, but not prosaic, items, we suggest:
Canada is [well] above average in reading and math according to the triennial Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa)
The Long and Short of It at Goldman Sachs (a tale of murky doings at the esteemed firm) - thanks to Tony Deutsch
Riots and hunger feared as demand for grain sends food costs soaring
The growing appetite of China and other fast-developing nations has combined with the expansion of biofuel programmes in the United States and Europe to transform the global food situation.
Sarkozy beat the mob (thanks to Ron Robertson)
The French president dared the unions to defy his popular agenda, then coolly divided and conquered the opposition
PARIS - Rocketing around France - and the world - like an unguided missile, French President Nicolas Sarkozy continues to blow up adversaries, startle audiences, and make neck-swivelling journalists earn their keep. A political genius with the stamina of the Energizer Bunny, “Sarko” believes in reforming everything at once, starting yesterday. Between agenda-setting trips to the U.S., Africa, Russia, China and anywhere in Europe you can think of, he did what no predecessor could: cripple France’s leftist street mobs who always “won” against elected governments. Keith Spicer in the Ottawa Citizen
