  1. Chatham House in London is organizing an event entitled "Has Reform Stalled in Saudi Arabia?" It will be short as reform has not begun yet.
  2. More and more politicians want to ban bonus payments. Wrong! Payment on results is the correct approach, it just has to be done correctly.
  3. Reappointed Afghan President Hamid Karzai has promised to attack corruption in his country. It would be a nice change for his second term.
  4. The new Afghan President has been appointed after the withdrawal of his opponent. Does anyone really believe that democracy has won?
  5. Former Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic, refuses to turn up at his trial for genocide, as is his right. The trial should proceed.
  6. Director Roman Polanski's rape victim has asked for the charges to be dropped. Does the victim really have the right to waive punishment?
  7. Those negotiating nuclear with North Korea are talking about adding human rights to the negotiating mix. Good luck dealing with those thugs.
  8. Asian leaders forum, ASEAN, have established a human rights group. Seeing the human rights level of some of the members, no hope there!
  9. We have the leaders we deserve, which means that Italians deserve a racist and sexist misogynist as leader. He continues to confirm it.
  10. While it is amusing to see the ex head of the Pinochet secret police in Chile claiming his human rights, we should maintain his rights.
  11. 16 de octubre es el día mundial de la alimentación. Con millones no comiendo bien y con necesidades de más producción, es un día importante.
  12. October 16 is World Food Day. With millions still not eating well and with growing future need for food production, an important day.
  13. Políticos españoles publican sus patrimonios personales. Buenas noticias y se debe repetir. Atención a los consortes, familiares y amigos.
  14. Vogue shows a white model in black and says it was unaware it has caused offence. That is why ignoramuses are not good editorial editors!
  15. The racist and nationalist British Nationalist Party changed its membership requirements removing race and nationality as restrictions. Bah!
  16. Bad news, it looks like Hummer is now Chinese, indicating more production. The environment is the loser.
  17. Malas noticias, el coche Hummer ahora será China y se supone que fabricarán más. El medio ambiente pierde.
  18. Another chinese mining deal with a government under question in Africa, this time in Guinea. China is copying the west of 50 years ago.
  19. Good news, governance wins in the Nobel prize for Economic Sciences for 2009.
  20. Buenas noticias, el buen gobierno gana en el premio Nóbel para las ciencias económicas de 2009.
