Most Expensive Things In The World
The Most Expensive Things in the World What are the most expensive things in the world? There are some items that don’t trade in the open market, such as an Apollo space shuttle, but we’ll focus on the most ludicrously expensive things on Earth. For example, an iPhone[1] 3GS Supreme Rose costs $2.5 million. And a Graff Pink Diamond costs $1 million. These are all extremely rare, so you may be surprised to learn just how much these items cost.

Focusing on the truth? A review of 'The Challenge'
Did Spanish fascism die with Franco in 1975? No, unfortunately it did not, the authoritarian ideology lived on long after the dictator wa gone. And recent events such as the squabble over Franco's remains caused by the Francisco Franco National Foundation and the imprisonment of Catalan separatists show that Spain is still finding it hard to shake off its murky past. During the Transition to Democracy, former Falangists miraculously transformed into democrats, in a process very reminiscent of how the bureaucrats of Vichy France and Nazi Germany morphed into the leaders of their newly democratic states following World War II.

Reality TV and Its Republican Problem
The seventh season of The Masked Singer US will premiere on March 9th. The latest crop of characters (including the 100th costume ever seen in the US version) come in three different categories – the Good the Bad and the Cuddly – and include such strange competitors as Space Bunny, Queen Cobra and Firefly. As usual they will provide performances ranging from the bizarre to the brilliant, before steadily being unmasked as sports stars, TV personalities and singers. Unfortunately, anticipation for the series was derailed in spectacular fashion when a leak claimed that the line-up of mystery celebs included Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. Anonymous sources provided a fairly detailed account of the reveal, stating that panellists Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong temporarily left the studio in protest. The early reveal attracted outrage from many political commentators, particularly on the political left and centre, as Giuliani’s appearance represented the most recent and extreme example of a persistent trend of right-wing political personalities – particularly those tied to the Donald Trump administration – appearing on US celebrity gameshows and reality TV. Why is this the case, and what can we do bring political balance to these shows?

West Wing. What's Next?
If you are a fan who enjoys following the cut and thrust of politics then you may have turned back to The West Wing in recent years. The aspirational show lasted for seven seasons and is a beautiful counterpoint to the political turmoil of recent years. The show finished in 2006 but has surged in popularity in recent years. The West Wing Weekly podcast guided viewers through each episode and the cast recently reunited for a staged performance of an episode as part of a ‘Get Out The Vote’ fundraiser on HBO, with fans like Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton lending their support to the show.
