George Bush sat down at the G20 Summit and expressed his confidence in unfettered

markets, Tony Blair has been hanging out in Rwanda and summed up the way development

in Africa should be done and there's an ongoing, nasty argument between a "new media guru"

named Jeff Jarvis and Slate's Ron Rosenbaum, that has spilled over into a general discussion

about the new media vs old media and the failings of representatives of each side.

These things probably don't have much to do with each other, but they are each examples of

the way some people are looking forward to a new way of doing things and some are dragging

their heels....

I've got a slide show for you, but the sound's not very good.  I think it's worth hearing, maybe you have speakers or headphones, because it's audio from a quick interview I did after Barack Obama was projected as the winner of the election.
