And what have we heard from the new centers of wealth and power — China, India, Brazil, Russia, the Gulf states — about America’s financial agony over the past week? Zilch.

Well, not quite. Asked about the crisis, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the Brazilian president, said: “What crisis? Go ask Bush.”

Thanks, Lula. Brazil is sitting on $208 billion of its own in reserves, so perhaps Lula would say his flippancy is justified. But I don’t think it is.


Not only are we getting blown off by the rest of the world.....which is particularly annoying given that AIG had global assets.....but we have idiots like inoys still babbling on and on about the Iraq war. He doesn't even know what winning is......he just wants so hard to prove that Bush wasn't the worst president in a century. I can't believe this country has gotten stuck with so many stupid people. Other countries should offer to take some of them.

World leaders converge on a battered New York this week for the United Nations General Assembly and my advice to them is: think Damien Hirst

And guess what......they are sending Palin to meet them. They couldn't afford to send her to Berlin so they did the next best thing to get her some international exposure. Besides, for her, going to NYC is like going overseas. She probably thinks she needs her passport.
