did you see that?

It's a tad (a lot) late after the fact, but Hala and Richard talking/exchanging viewpoints/arguing about business! *Squee!*

Good times, good times.

time to bail

Unfortunately, this isn't about Hala.

Because I'm sick and taken the day off work, I'm home to see Richard Quest throw down with Monita Rajpal and Max Foster on the UK bailout. I've missed them all, and I miss how much more expressive the people in London are about their opinions and analysis on the news they report. Sigh. Maybe it's just Monita, but I am loving her refusal to just accept the report she's delivering. Of course, everyone does so, but has anyone else noticed that the London people are less likely to just drop a subject than they are in Atlanta?

But since I've already mentioned Hala, I must query: this is the second straight month she hasn't hosted Inside the Middle East. This makes me :-(
But as of the last time I saw Hala, her neckline seems to have returned to basic cable levels. Thanks, Hala, for looking all professional again.

I've missed Monita's necklaces and Max's atrocious color matching. I miss watching these two.

Hey, Matthew Chance. Hello there. And, haha, good call, Russia, suspending stock market trading in light of such volatile global markets.
