This week's moment of respite from Russia's invasion and irascible world leaders can be found here, courtesy of the Colbert Report. The man who could teach any nationalist a thing or two about patriotism, interviewed David Walker, formally of the US Government Accountability Office. His new, quite unfunny (trailer here if you don't believe me) movie — I.O.U.S.A. — on the ballooning US debt, will not be featuring on this segment of The Interpreter. Comparisons have been drawn to 'An Inconvenient Truth' but the market would seem a little more niche.
