Richard Quest Fan Club
Those of you with DirecTV can pick up CNN International, which is everything CNN should be -- and was, until the network got caught up with trying to be Fox News Channel. The news is the thing here, peppered with smart and lively news anchors and weekend series.

But Maria and I have especially gotten to like snooty Brit Richard Quest, who anchors the daily business show "Business Central" and co-anchors "BizNews," a three hour live morning news and business European breakfast show (seen late at nights in the states).

Quest looks and sounds like one of those 1960s spy characters spoofed by Mike Myers in the "Austin Powers" trilogy. Hell, even his name Richard Quest gives you pause. His dry delivery and "oooooooooh REALLY!" inflection makes the both of us giggle.
