Wattup in the World - 21st November

50 Most Influential People in New Zealand
Reads more like a randomized list of famous New Zealanders rather than an actual indication of power.

Speaker-by-Speaker Coverage of anti-waterfront stadium protest
Uniting left-wingers, right-wingers, communists, capitalists, greenies, fascists, industrialists, authors, constitutional lawyers, and govt. paid architects, against it! Is there anything Helen Clark cannot do?

Some people just take their 'V for Vendetta' way too seriously
Sometimes you've just gotta look in the mirror & say 'am I likely to be mocked on YouTube for doing this?'...

Milton Friedman at his best

Although I'm not a big fan of the 'Magical Market' approach to everything (e.g. Abracadabra, the market shall solve!). I am a fan of debate, and Friedman was apparently unbeatable at this. I had never heard him speak, except on the excellent 'The Corporation'. However, listening to him speak I can definitely see that he was more than just another Market Magician.

Cost of people going to the office
Why you should save the country some money & just not go :)

BBC does a programme on a day in the life of a Moderate Muslim:
Programme successfully proves that Muslims can be just as boring as us.

Bush invited to New Zealand
Apparently we have lots in common with him. Not only has the Prime Minister had a brain bypass in relation to this proposition but it seems the blogosphere has too with Idiot/Savant asking: Will US bodyguards be permitted to carry firearms? Well, if you're that concerned about trained professionals protecting assassination targets with firearms, maybe you should look a little closer to home first... Personally, I'd rather focus on the fact that there is no logical reason for Bush to come here.

Singapore gets that sinking feeling
