New chairman of the BBC
In a typically modest move Oliver Kamm (who in his post 'Why I was right' or something like that clearly has never read a work Dick Cheney has spoken/written, or he might see Al Gore's point) has announced he wishes to be considered for the role of Chairman of the BBC:"...the ideal Chairman of the Governors ...would be a complete outsider, entirely independent of the BBC and its culture of contentment, untainted by the experience of making or delivering broadcasts, but committed to fulfilling the ideals of public-service broadcasting. It ought in fact to be someone just like me. "
The idea of Oliver, despite his blind spot for the Bush Administration, as chairman of the BBC brings much delight, and I would hate apathy or the pressures of work to prevent his applying. Thus I am in the process of applying on his behalf. All I need is an address -- I wonder if email will do?
