The act of interviewing clever and important people doesn't,on its own,confer respectability. IfThe Viewwere to spend 20 minutes discussing literature with Philip Roth,the only lesson to be drawn is that ABC hired a terrific booker—and that Roth was perhaps getting desperate in retirement.Indeed,Morgan's interview with Iranian theocrat Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,whom he respectfully called "a scholar" and "a very intelligent man," is instructive. Morgan was occasionally tough on Ahmadinejad,but managed only uninteresting questions and,as a result,received predictably evasive answers ("So to clarify,Mr. President,if a single woman from Iran is watching this interview,she can go skiing on her own?").
Bell Pottinger sources are emphasising that a pre-condition of the deal negotiations with the fictional "Azimov Group" set up by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism was evidence of a reform agenda in Uzbekistan.? Andrew Denham at Ballots & Bullets says today is the sixth anniversary of David Cameron's election as Conservative leader.Today, David Cameron celebrates his 6th anniversary as Tory leader. Even before reaching this milestone, Cameron had already surpassed half his predecessors since 1945 (Anthony Eden, Alec Douglas-Home, William Hague,
kate spade wallet sale, Iain Duncan Smith and Michael Howard). This time next year, he will have overtaken two more (John Major and Harold Macmillan).A more telling comparison, perhaps, given the revival in Tory fortunes under his leadership, chronicled and explained in my recent book with Peter Dorey and Mark Garnett, is that by the time of the next General Election, presumably in 2015, Cameron will have led his party for longer than his three immediate predecessors put together.
Chloe Smith handled a difficult deployment pretty wellI woke this morning to hear that the junior Treasury minister Chloe Smith had been comprehensively pulverised on Channel 4 News last night over what was deemed to be a hopeless defence of George Osborne's decision to reverse his budget judgment and freeze ￡550m-worth of fuel duty. Jeremy Paxman apparently put what was left of poor Smith through the Newsnight food processor before bedtime.Poor Smithy. Deployed as an expendable, sent out to be bashed up by those bullying blokes on the telly like one of those "pointless sacrifices" troops were called on to make in the first world war. Why hadn't the chancellor done his own dirty work and faced down Paxo and C4's Krishnan Guru-Murthy himself?After finally catching up last night on Laura Wade's brilliant polemical play Posh – a satire on the Bullingdon Club and its embattled sense of entitlement – I was primed to share the tweeters' sense of outrage.
For those who are concerned about me,please don't be - I love Groupon,and I'm terribly proud of what we've created. I'm OK with having failed at this part of the journey. If Groupon was Battletoads,it would be like I made it all the way to the Terra Tubes without dying on my first ever play through. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to take the company this far with all of you. I'll now take some time to decompress (FYI I'm looking for a good fat camp to lose my Groupon 40,if anyone has a suggestion),and then maybe I'll figure out how to channel this experience into something productive.If there's one piece of wisdom that this simple pilgrim would like to impart upon you: have the courage to start with the customer.
That would be disastrous for everyone,including,

(Alex Wong / Getty Images)Even a brief dive—a bungee jump,if you will—would be scary indeed. In its latest projection,the Congressional Budget Office predicts that the post-cliff economy would shrink for the first half of the year,at an annualized pace of 1.3 percent.
He gave his all. Lupe Fiasco,Kanye West,and Common are all from Chicago,but couldn’t be heard on their local radio stations until a major record label signed them. That’s plantationism; that’s slavery. So I plan in 2013 to have an "Occupy the Free Air" protest across the United States. Public Enemy was really one of the first politically conscious rap groups.Coming in at the times of R&B,which was Reagan and Bush [Sr.],a lot of things were politically active,and we just happened to put it in a more succinct,understandable way. In the present,it seems like the Reagan and Bush eras have been mimicked by urban radio and BET because they don’t serve the community; they suck the community.
West called on supporters to stop "this dangerous duo today," referring to Holder and President Obama,in a fundraising letter. "Al Qaeda is a very serious and persistent threat,but I trust the U.S. military to protect us from future attacks. I cannot say the same about President Obama and his Justice Department," he wrote,warning that we may wake up one day and find that "America is no longer America."Business Longreads for the Week of June 8,2013 An article in Bloomberg Businessweek examines Costco's success.
