What FP didn't say about the mayor of Karachi
One of my responsibilities here at Foreign Policy is manning the "FP Editor" e-mail account. It's always fun to come in in the morning and see how readers around the world are reacting to what we print. Sometimes, the reactions can be a bit strange, though. Yesterday, we started receiving e-mails from readers and journalists in Pakistan asking for comment on reports that we had named Karachi's mayor, Mustafa Kamal, "the second best mayor in the world." This would be an understandable query if we had actually said anything of the sort.

The funny article about how the best of the Pakistani news papers print verbatim press releases is both funny, sad, and true. Working there, I learned to put out press releases about future events in the past tense, otherwise the news articles that cut and pasted from my emails would be all wrong. This from what nears the most free Muslim press in Asia outside of Oman, Lebanon, and Iraq. Scary.

U.N. Me
A friend of a colleague gives us something that takes itself about as seriously as any documentary about the UN ever should, with fewer zingers than UNWatch video but far, far more sound effects.

Snarky? Yes. But less than expected. Perhaps a true farewell to a Leader of the Free World as he wouldn't necessarily mind being seen.
