I blame the government

I've been a very delinquent blogger of late, and am likely to be so for the next couple of weeks. Quite unexpectedly, I've been asked to testify in front of the House Financial Services Committee in a couple of weeks time about the food crisis, and the World Bank's role in it. Veterans of this blog will know that I've already said, in print, that the head of the World Bank makes me gag and, on Canadian telly, that the World Bank is full of shit. I'll be reining in my potty mouth and putting together some pointed testimony over the next few days, so I'll be not spending quite as much time here as I'd like. I blame the government. But check out the blog for the best articles from other writers, now that the food crisis has become something of a hot topic....

Now that's one congressional hearing I really want to see! Caught your NPR segment and then your talk on another show, and altho I'm now aware of more ways my govt is putting my tax $ to work that make me really ashamed, I know it's better to be informed so we can try to change things. Your blog will be a regular stop for me from now on.

Nice blog Raj. Some strong words there about the World Bank. (Not that they don't deserve even stronger verbage...) Good luck reigning it in next week.

Morning Edition Interview

I was so glad to hear your voice on NPR yesterday morning! After listening to Zoellick and his ilk get free reign on my favorite news outlet for weeks, it was so refreshing to get a perspective that didn't scapegoat the weather and anti-GMO activism. Good luck with the congressional testimony!!
