Myanmar's Strongman Appears on TV in Women's Clothing
By Matthew Hall - AOL NewsSo you think Libya leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi is nuts? You might also want to try Myanmar's repressive head of state, Senior Gen. Than Shwe. For a recent televised ceremony, the 78-year-old boss of Asia's most authoritarian regime ditched his army dress uniform in favor of, more simply, a woman's skirt. Than Shwe appeared at a national holiday event last month wearing a woman's sarong -- or acheik -- and got the country talking. That is, as much as people can talk in an oppressed society.

Mobs and Democracy: The Facebook-Twitter-YouTube Revolution
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyYou may think you've seen this movie before. Just two summers ago, in fact, in Iran. Never say never, but I'm saying never. You've never seen anything like what is unfolding today in Egypt. Just when it seemed humankind was doomed (pick your poison: pandemic, climate change, famine, drought, nuclear war) up pop Tunisia and Egypt. Overnight, it seems, the world has entered a new era.
