Bill, Connecticut, movies and polls
Talking about birthday boy Bill: FT Weekend, this fantastic newspaper I love to buy when I travel to Mom's house on Sundays, had a very good and long article about Bill Clinton and his work against HIV/Aids. Read it here [registration required].
The New Republic has an insightful article about the race in Connecticut, focusing on Lieberman’s chances as an independent (read it here).
I have seen three very good films recently:
The Squid and the Whale is yet another fantastic film about a dysfunctional American family (in the tradition of Happiness, The Ice Storm, and American Beauty).
Match Point proves a) Woody Allen is still an amazing director; b) All his stories must not take place in New York; c) He must not act in his own films anymore.
An Inconvenient Truth is a must for any progressive. I will write a review for the next issue of AiP; I will share it with y'all as soon as I can.
Election Watch: New poll today, we are climbing up to 35 percent but the left block is still around five percentage points behind the right-wing alliance. We are still gaining speed so I am not worried. Yet.

You have a nice blog. What have you studied?
I got my Masters degree in International relations and international economics, with a focus on European studies and transatlantic relations, from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. It is a two year program, with one year in Bologna Italy and one year in Washington DC.
Before that I studied economic history, political science etc etc in Stockholm, Glasgow and Montpellier.
Now I have to check your blog...
Var hittade du denna högintressanta film?
Hej Lisa! Om du menar An inconvenient Truth så var jag på en pressvisning, den har premiär den 7/9 och har naturligtvis Al Gore i huvudrollen. Match Point finns på dvd och The Squid... går på Grand mitt emot Sveavägen 68.
Noam Baumbach är grym. Han skrev även manus till Life Aquatic...

Noah Baumbach heter han förresten.
