A Good Week

In a time when Pakistan is becoming the heart of the problems of the world & not just India's, today was a good day for them in a long long time. Finally the Judiciary has emerged victorious. The reinstatement of deposed Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry comes as a light of hope in the midst of one bad news after another. I heard a brief story about Chaudhary on NPR today & it was inspiring. Hailing from a small village, he is the 1st Judge to stand up against the Pakistan Military. I'm reading the biography of a Mexican Mafia Hitman Rene 'Boxer' Enriquez right now. And one Aztec Mafia Member quotes an ancient Chinese proverb to Boxer in the jail -
If you stand long enought by the river, you will see the bodies of your enemies float by.

I think Chaudhary is experiencing just that. He is my new hero.

And of course Jon Stewart.

Jon Stewart kills John Cramer on National Television

Last night was probably one of the best nights of American Television. Jon Stewart creamed Cramer of MAD MONEY like nothing ever seen on TV. Jon has been lashing out on CNBC for past one week & this interview was hyped as the ultimate fight. But what we saw was unprecedented. One almost felt sorry for Cramer. But my salute to Jon. Its a pity that a comedy show is the only TV program that is doing its job.
