As a response to his own resignation, GSSC Vice President resigns.
Presidents, presidents, presidents... and Shakira, Shakira!
Endorsement... lol
Brinkley stepped down, and a cryptic PrezBo email followed
The NROTC debate continued, and a cryptic PrezBo email followed
McCain violated the number one rule of presidential debates: never wear a striped tie on camera.
We enacted our revenge on Yale, as payback for summer's Gossip Girl slight.

Oh damn, this financial crisis is ruining just about everything, including your World Leaders Forum.
Today's issue of The Australian—Bwog's preferred Australian daily—reveals that Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd had originally planned to attend the WLF, "but instead [he] met privately with a selection of private financiers and the New York Federal Reserve."

Bwog's Latin American Bureau Chief David Berke attended this afternoon's installment of the World Leader's Forum, starring Shakira!
Making the World Leaders Forum feel small and inadequate by comparison, professor/man's last best hope Jeffery Sachs hosted The Children of Latin America: A Future Without Poverty, this afternoon, taking full advantage of the world leaders stuck in New York for the UN General Assembly.
Shakira, best known in academic circles for finding that the center of all truth is in hips, was joined by Alejandro Sanz (who my Spanish-speaking friends inform me is also a big deal). Oh yeah, also, the presidents of Paraguay, El Salvador, Mexico, Argentina and Panama were in attendance. Sammy Sosa and Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, along with numerous foreign dignitaries, sat in the audience.

When we posted about the World Leaders Forum speaker list a few days ago, many of you suggested that more high profile speakers would be announced soon. Well, you were right, though the speakers aren't for the World Leaders Forum.
A tipster has informed us that, on Wednesday, September 24th, several South and Central American heads of state will be sitting on a panel about poverty in Latin America, including Felipe Calderón of Mexico, Cristina Kirchner of Argentina, Elias González of El Salvador, and Martin Espino of Panama. Joining them will be Columbia's own Jeffrey Sachs (who just can't stop hanging out with celebrities), and the pop star/"activist" Shakira. In fairness, Shakira should be used to colleges after taking a class at UCLA last year.
Registration will start on September 17th at 9 A.M.
