We

Check out this documentary
We
Arundhati Roy's lecture forms the bedrock for this documentary and some of the visuals are brilliant in this documentary.

You always wonder "who is right", "who is wrong".. "what is right".. "what is wrong" "is there something called 'right' or 'wrong'" .. "why is ideology so bigger than self" .. "is there something called 'self'" ..
"why should people prove superiority over others"..

I am sure all there are no answers to these questions.

Time to Kill - Podcasts

BBC is indisputably the god of 'podcasts' with their
"World Book Club" (to get to know quality thoughts from really good novelists, who also read from their own excerpts), "Wake Up to Money" (UK-specific Business commentary), "Test Match Special" (after any ODI or Test which England plays, the BBC commentators give their views on the match), "From Our Own Correspondent" (geo-political news reviews), "Documentaris" (best ever documentaries - assignment style), "Fighting Talk" (hilarious sports talk show) and some more..
some links where you can catch podcasts:

Am now a fan of "The Office" and "Saturday Night Live" hosted by nbc.com (if you visit this site, you can see the streaming videos of their latest and old episodes) - really good initiative.

One can see movies/tv serials in "surfthechannel.com" too, amazing treasure house this site.

Also, lately am impressed with "KQED" (http://www.kqed.org/) radio/tv shows. The quality of their tv/radio programs are as good as BBC's.

Where is Michael 'The Boss' Scott

You definitely need a Michael 'The Boss' Scott in every office.

What's wrong with Obama

In spite of Fox's tirade or Hannity's slander, 'Barak Husein Obama' just appears to look much bigger than his own self. You just wonder, is he for real ? is he really the solution to all of everyone's problems ?
Credit goes to George W Bush, if not for Bush I think the canvas that Obama was provided, could not have been this huge.
