A Lebanese politician who is not corrupt has been found! Technically this is not entirely correct, yet Fernando Haddad, the leftist candidate in Brazil gives hope. Sure the man is Brazilian and all, yet I wanted to start my Sunday with a positive news and what's with everything wrong with the world, knowing such a person - even if his ancestry must be around three times removed from his land of origin (Lebanon) seemed like a news worth sharing! In Lebanon as Dan Azzi pointed out the last thing we need is more of the rentier economy mentality, still - Fernando Haddad at least seems honest for a change!
