Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner is pushing to make the European Central Bank the ultimate guarantor of bonds issued by the 17 countries that share the euro, a fundamental shift he maintains is the only sure way to solve a crisis threatening the global recovery. In meetings in recent weeks in France , Poland and now Washington , Geithner has made the case that without strong backing from their central bank, governments in the euro area will be hampered for years by suspicion that their bonds are risky bets for investors . That lack of confidence has rocked global markets in recent weeks and could continue to threaten the European economy and banking system. Read full article > >

Are we in a rose rut? I hope not, because rose is the ultimate summer wine: a cold remedy for the heat of the blazing sun, able to lift our spirits from beneath a heavy blanket of humidity. From now through September, our refrigerators should never be devoid of rose. Yet because rose is fun and not intellectually stimulating, like a Barolo, a trockenbeerenauslese Riesling or a first-growth grand cru single-vineyard Chateau Wocka-Wocka, we may take it for granted. We find our seasonal favorites and stick with them. And because we’re looking primarily for refreshment, we tend to want something simple and a bit sweet. Read full article > >

The role-playing game has been voted the ultimate game of the year by fans at this year’s Golden Joysticks.
Excerpt from:
Mass Effect 2 wins ‘game of year’
As we prepare yet another round of offerings to the demigods of America’s political religion, we would do well to remind ourselves of what our electoral votives truly signify. Ideally, our ballots purport to be expressions of political will, which we hope and pray will be translated into legislative and executive action by our pretended representatives. Through hard and painful struggles, against daunting odds, our forebears and elders fought so long for voting rights—for unpropertied men, for women, for blacks—that we may perhaps be forgiven the error of thinking that casting a ballot is the perfection of civic virtue, the ultimate and sovereign duty of the citizen-ruler. Alas, the agony of citizenship is never ending; voting is the beginning of civic virtue, not its end, and as suffrage has expanded so has its value been steadily debased. The locus of real power is elsewhere. Wealth and property qualifications, poll taxes, and the like are very far from being historical curiosities; they have simply mutated. Campaign contributions and other forms of political spending have assumed that old exclusionary function, and only those who can afford to pay are able truly to manifest their political will. Voters still “matter,” of course, but only as raw material to be shaped by the actual form of political influence—money—which molds the body politic by realizing itself in the ductile mass of common voters. . . .
