Earth to Bill Gates: Thank you This little editorial that appeared recently is (obviously) dancing on the fringe of cheesiness, but it begs an interesting question about philanthropy and the world's richest man.
Gates appeared on Bill Moyers'
NOW last night, and was reasonably candid (he used the phrase "failure of capitalism"), mentioning more than once that he intended to
give away ~95% of his wealth, mostly to aid public health. Our
perceptions of his politics aside, it would seem as if Gates intends to go out with a humanist bang.

As you may have heard, long term FBI Agent and Chinese double-agent Katrina Leung was
charged yesterday. What you might not have heard, if, say, you only read the CNN story, was that Leung was
a prominent Republican, who probably did a good bit to subvert the campaign finance reform effort. However, this isn't being covered by
ABC, CNN, Newsweek,
the New York Times, or pretty much anyone with any name recognition, as TalkingPointsMemo reports. Funny how potential sabotage isn't worth mentioning in these fast times full of SARS and terror, no?
