I’ve also added a sidebar widget showing what I’m currently reading — in this case P J O’Rourke’s On The Wealth of Nations. I’d been intending to read Adam Smith’s classic economic text The Wealth of Nations at some point — but when I found O’Rourke’s commentry on it for today, I figured that might be a better introduction.

It’s nomination time for “Cnut of the Week” for tonight’s edition of Stilgherrian Live (9.30pm Thursdays Sydney time).

Who do you nominate, and why?
