*BBC Interview: President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili

You would almost swear Woody Allen wrote the script. It was vintage SNL (Saturday Night Live). It was Abbot & Costello and Laurel & Hardy all rolled into one. Breathtaking spontaneity with controlled etiquette. In my opinion, a BBC comedic blowout! Kudos to both participants; Pres. Saakashvili and commentator Stephen Sackur.

In the early evening I got yet another belly laugh with this posting on Drudge:

**Fury at $2.5bn bonus for Lehman's New York staff
By David Prosser
Monday, 22 September 2008
Excerpt:
The revelation sparked fury among the workers' former colleagues, Lehman's 5,000 staff based in London, who currently have no idea how long they will go on receiving even their basic salaries, let alone any bonus payments. It also prompted a renewed backlash over the compensation culture in global finance, with critics claiming that many bankers receive pay and rewards that bore no relation to the job they had done.

Sometimes, when in doubt, LAUGH LIKE HELL! In my opinion, it re-sets the nervous system.
As always,
BB
