1. Just another example of the double standard under which we live.

The US Human Rights reports call out Jagdeo because he gave his friends 10 radio stations.

We look like fools (or worse) throughout the civilized world because we do chit like point fingers at a country smaller than North Dakota for showing favoritism when handing out radio licenses (many of which are simply low power repeaters).

At the same time, Bushco favoritism launched a couple wars, restructured our energy policies in secret, and increased privatization of basic education - all for the benefit of Bushco friends. The US Human Rights folks seems to have missed reporting on that.
