Here's the new show you weren't waiting for: Julian Assange has promised to launch a talk show about "the world tomorrow." Assuming this show actually airs (which it probably won't), who should the WikiLeaker invite as his guests?
I have less than no interest in discussing, yet again
A UK judge has ruled that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can be extradited to Sweden to face trial for sexual assault. Assange says he will continue to fight the ruling.

A British judge has ruled that Julian Assange must return to Sweden to face questioning on allegations of sexually assaulting two women. Assange's lawyers said they'll appeal.

Where will Julian Assange stay now that he's been released on bail? There's always Couchsurfing.com, where Assange had a profile. He listed his "current mission" as "fomenting revolution." There are references to attempted assassinations, "election rigging," and "politicians' wives."
