Michael Moore on Countdown With Keith Olbermann - 9/32/10



"Harry Reid -- I mean, seriously, I want to go down there tomorrow and tell him to drop and give me 20. ... This guy, absolutely no backbone... It's so frustrating. ... Somebody's got to light a fire under these guys. ... We've got six weeks left. How do we save the Democrats from themselves? Because if the Republicans are taking over, the knife goes in even deeper at that point. ... Only the people -- the people watching this -- are just going to have to say, 'you know what? We're just going to have to do this.' ... What do you do when the leader doesn't do it? You have to do it. ... This is what we've got to do now in these next six weeks." -- Michael Moore on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Thursday, September 3rd, 2010

Egypt searches for $50m Van Gogh painting

Egyptian authorities have had to make an embarrassing U-turn on the disappearance of a Vincent Van Gogh painting from a Cairo museum.

An empty frame is all that is left after "Poppy Flowers", worth $50m, was stolen on Sunday.

Following initial reports that it had been recovered, the country's culture minister backtracked on his claim.

The theft raises serious questions and concerns about the state of security at Egypt's top museums, which house some of the world's most precious, rare and valuable antiquities and artwork.

German economy sees record growth

After months of an economic slump, Europe's main stock markets have bounced back as economic growth in Germany and France boosted investors' sentiment.

Germany, the region's biggest economy, published on Friday its best quarterly GDP growth since 1990 of more than two per cent in the second quarter.



The country helped lift growth in the eurozone overall to one per cent and more than made up for the struggling economies of Greece, Spain and Ireland.

That rate of German expansion is unlikely to last, and early gains for European shares slipped back again, as did the euro's rise against the dollar. But traders, it seems are happy.
