I guess everybody is exhausted by developments over the last few years. Suspend your exhaustion for a little while to catch "Inside Job" which chronicles the events that almost led to a complete global financial armageddon. The world of financial derivatives and credit default swaps is simply explained to reveal a massive fraud which almost brought the world to its knees. The scary thing is that the perpetrators of this fraud are still there at the highest level of government and the financial industry in the US.
Psychopathic behaviour is characterized by an abnormal lack of empathy combined with strongly amoral conduct but masked by an ability to appear outwardly normal. In addition to explaining how the crisis evolved the movie also lifts a veil on the psychopathic nature of the financial services industry. And just like Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs, the real culprits have gotten away with it.
A must see movie.

Panty Police
Valentine's Day in fun loving Malaysia must have been a ball of laughs. As part of nationwide campaign to encourage a sin-free lifestyle, the government cracked down on "immoral acts" for the "Day of Lurrrrv".
Authorities were instructed to carry ou "immorality checks" on Feb. 14 by identifying locations used by lovers and deploying local religious department officials as well as party members to stop such sinful acts like casual sex. Among those targeted were women found to be wearing no panties, and hotels offering deals for unwed couples. Presumably men who were wearing panties were ok.
