Britta Persson: "Kill Hollywood Me"

A lovely video, for a lovely song, from a lovely album: Britta Persson's Kill Hollywood Me, available only on import, is one of my favorite albums this year.

And this is the very charming video for the title track:

Confidence

Thomas Friedman's "Rescue the Rescue" is one of the best things I've read about our collective financial crisis. This just kills me, because it's so true:

I totally understand the resentment against Wall Street titans bringing home $60 million bonuses. But when the credit system is imperiled, as it is now, you have to focus on saving the system, even if it means bailing out people who don’t deserve it. Otherwise, you’re saying: I’m going to hold my breath until that Wall Street fat cat turns blue. But he’s not going to turn blue; you are, or we all are. We have to get this right.

Real

I love this photo, particularly after watching tonight's soulless VP debates.
