Was Woodrow Wilson Completely Incompetent?
Oh, we talk a lot of smack about Ronnie Reagan. But Woodrow Wilson? Paranoid, suspicious, raging; his wife fired anyone who suspected him of being incompetent. And according to the biographer of his marriage to Edith Wilson: " I just found it so unbelievable that they would have toyed with the fate of this country, the welfare of this country, these two irresponsible people, certainly this lady was.... She was probably a very limited woman, intellectually. I'm being very kind. She wasn't a very educated woman. And she was a very vain woman." Oh, Errol Morris, you are rocking my world.

Gaddafi Filibusters UN
The Libyan honcho has filibustered at the U.N. for well over an hour, in an unscripted, wide-ranging attack on pretty much everyone-conducted without notes or particular agenda. Most amusing: many of the people who'd walked out (about half of everyone) kept walking back in because they figured he'd be done by then, and then they had to re-walk out. He made some good points! If old ones. Such as that the five permanent member nations of the Security Council and that council's veto power is not really in keeping with the spirit of the U.N. To which I say: yeah, oh well, we will have to accept the frightening dictatorial power of France for some years longer. Among other good points: that Africa has never successfully recovered from the damage of colonialism, and yes, how could it? Oh and also that the swine flu was a military leak. I don't know, overall, I think that we prefer our crazy people succinct. UPDATE: Oh boy. He just demanded to know who killed John Kennedy. Translator quote: "Seriously, we don't know." UPDATE: Okay he has hit the 90-minute mark! WHERE IS THAT CAT TO PLAY HIM OFF? UPDATE: AND he is done, at last. How amazing.
