...Should that happen, the IMF could be given a new function as a "permanent secretariat" overseeing finance markets for G7 and other major countries, Buiter says. That's rather a far cry from Sarkozy's appeal to reinvent capitalism - or even British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's call to reform the international financial system around "the agreed principles of transparency, integrity, responsibility, good housekeeping and co-operation across borders." Yet many observers say that even a partial move away from the reckless lack of oversight that enabled the current crisis would constitute progress...
...Murillo has even tried to reinvent the feminist movement in her own image by penning an Orwellian essay called "Feminism and Low Intensity War."

You see, Usher can relate to every struggling female...
...Ultimately, “Slacker Uprising” represents the culmination of a failed project. The film is a re-editing of “Captain Mike Across America,” a documentary that Moore premiered in 2007 to tepid reviews. Despite Moore’s efforts to reinvent this film, “Slacker Uprising” suffers from excessive self-indulgence. If Moore wants to return to his past excellence, he must do more than re-edit—instead, he must go back to the drawing board...
