The following is a republication of my favorite weekly reads and updates that I publish on weekends at my other blog Darwin's Finance.

These are entries from blogs I frequent, and I hope you will too (just come back!). This week, Iran’s historic election and subsequent outrage from a population seeking change is the prominent news item. Not only does the outcome of the current movement have implications for the balance of the entire region, but there are financial implications as well; namely energy prices. Here’s a culmination of several shocking videos from Iran demonstrating the bravery and determination of a generation that has said no to propaganda, censorship and brutal military force at demonstrations.
