A seventh-grade teacher in Pakistan in November invited her class to compare the country’s crisis to Harry Potter. The class immediately cast Pervez Musharraf as Voldemort and Benazir Bhutto as Bellatrix. “Potter is like a Rorschach blot,” says Georgetown government professor Daniel Nexon, “for people articulating concerns about globalization in their cultural setting. It’s incredibly significant that Potter even enters these debates.”

a wise quote of today (from Forbes’s How To Live Like A Billionaire)
Posted by arully under What ever :)No Comments
From Forbes
Warren Buffett auctioned his 2001 Lincoln Town Car — with its “THRIFTY” license plate — on eBay to benefit a charity in June 2006 and repaced it with a 2006 Cadillac DTS. Analysts who follow the ultra-rich aren’t suprised by Buffett’s relatively modest choice. “Typically, it’s not the billionaires that are seeking status with a Lamborghini or a Ferrari in the garage, but the people worth $10 million to $50 million,” says Bill Bartmann, author of Billionaire Secrets to Success.

Last weekend was an interesting weekend for politic conscious person, as 2 polling which getting a lot of publicity in the world was going on. One is Venezuella which president want to steer the country to socialism, another is Rusia, who has 800 million-per-day revenue (US$800m x 365 day = US$292billion/year) from oil & gas.
Both election have similarity: a plebiscite for president’s influence.
Winner: Putin Losser: Chavez
But both of them is loved by his fellow countryman, although western countries distaste both.
