An interview with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal
Baltimore Examiner we have to be a party of ideas and solutions ...... our economic problems. They were caused by excessive amounts of debt and structural problems ........ We also cut the ribbon on North America's first biodiesel refinery that will use chicken byproducts to make diesel. ..... how does writing a check when we're borrowing money from our children and grandchildren, solve the problems inherent in the economy? ....... You'll find wasteful spending at all levels of government. ...... We are one of eight states that put all of its spending online. We're the only state that links it to performance outcomes. So you can go online and see where your tax dollars are going and you can link it to accountability.
CAL THOMAS: Jindal to GOP -- Time to repent Indiana Gazette You have to have a positive, proactive agenda for America. ....... Jindal wishes Obama well: "We should genuinely want him to succeed. ...... His proposals are the way back for a party that has lost its way.

Bollywood star attacks film's portrayal of India guardian.co.uk Although Slumdog Millionaire was a big winner at the Golden Globes and is seen as a frontrunner for the Oscars, Amitabh Bachchan, Bollywood's top actor, has voiced bitter comments about the movie's portrayal of India.
Slumdog Millionaire could only have been made by a westerner "Slumdog Millionaire is poverty porn" that invites the viewer to enjoy the miseries it depicts ...... Bachchan gave one of the worst English-language performances in cinematic history with his embarrassingly stupid portrayal of an ageing thespian in The Last Lear. ....... Poor Indians, like those in Slumdog, do not constitute India's "murky underbelly" as Bachchan moronically describes them. They, in fact, are the nation. Over 80% of Indians live on less than $2.50 (£1.70) a day ......... A third of the world's poorest people are Indian, as are 40% of all malnourished children. In Mumbai alone, 2.6 million children live on the street or in slums, and 400,000 work in prostitution. ....... countless people exist in conditions close to hell yet maintain a breath-taking exuberance, dignity and decency
