Blago walks, mostly. Short and sweet: Jury was hung on 23 counts, convicted him on 1. That count was "lying to federal investigators" when he told them that he didn't care about nor was involved with fundraising. Max jailtime for this one is 5 years. They were, reportedly, 11-1 on all others. [more inside]
"It's a little bit like the shooting gallery at the arcade. It's hard to tell which rabbits are real and which aren't. You have to have the discipline of not shooting at the wrong rabbit."
Washington, We Have a Problem. On the heels of a New Yorker feature exploring the question, "Just How Broken Is The Senate," Vanity Fair publishes a look at the (mindboggling) day-to-day life of the modern US Presidency.
Plugging the Leaks
Shane Harris of the Washingtonian looks at the increasingly aggressive pursuit by the Obama administration of people (especially journalists) who leak sensitive information to the public.
The Point of No Return
The Point of No Return. In the gap between Washington's and Jerusalem's views of Iran lies the question: who, if anyone, will stop Iran before it goes nuclear, and how? As Washington and Jerusalem study each other intensely, here's an inside look at the strategic calculations on both sides—and at how, if things remain on the current course, an Israeli air strike will unfold.
"We reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals."
In late July the American Civil Liberties Union released "Establishing a New Normal" (pdf), an 18 month review of national security, civil liberties and human rights under the Obama Administration.

Obama: Episode I.
A new movie based on Obama's childhood in Indonesia has just been released in Jakarta. The film is based on a novel released just this year. Certain differences can be noted between the book and the movie – for example, a scene showing Obama praying in the direction of Mecca was dropped.
Someone forgot to tell 'em the Cold War ended....
The US Department of Justice has announced arrests in four states of ten alleged members of a "deep-cover" Russian spy ring whose ultimate goal was apparently to infiltrate U.S. policy-making circles. So much for burger diplomacy? [more inside]
Elena's Inbox
The Sunshine Foundation, a non-profit group dedicated to government transparency & accountability, has obtained Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's emails from her time in the Clinton White House & made them available in a handy web application.

Loose lips sink ships, and careers, too
General Stanley McChrystal is in hot water over a Rolling Stone article (pdf) where he and his staff are quoted criticizing Obama, Biden, and senior administration officials. (Previously on McChrystal's appointment.)
Guerilla political campaign how-to
Something Dangerous is Happening in Honduras
Hillary Clinton has asked the Organization of America States to re-admit post coup Honduras, but many people with long memories are against it and wondering why this president, in particular, is doing it.

"You Will Levitate!"
"There is no federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage."
Elena Kagan will be officially nominated to replace John Paul Stevens today, ending weeks of speculation and controversy as to who would replace the retiring Supreme Court Justice. Significant criticism has hounded Kagan throughout the nomination process, as she has never tried a case in court (much like Earl Warren). Many worry that her notable statements and writings do not provide a clear progressive record; some go so far as to claim she is Obama's Harriet Miers.
BBC World Service Documentaries
BBC World Service has over 500 audio documentaries you can download. The subject matter is incredibly wide ranging, for example, internet cafés, the influence of Islamic art on William Morris, South African female AIDS activist Thembi Ngubane, Yiddish, the importance of cows, novelist Chinua Achebe, financial risk management, Obama as an intellectual, the physical and emotional effects of a car crash and many, many more. If the quantity and variety are overwhelming, you can subscribe to a podcast, which delivers a new documentary to you every single day.
The Year of the Drone
The Year of the Drone: An Analysis of U.S. Drone Strikes in Pakistan, 2004-2010 (PDF). "Our study shows that the 114 reported drone strikes in northwest Pakistan from 2004 to the present have killed between 830 and 1,210 individuals, of whom around 550 to 850 were described as militants in reliable press accounts, about two-thirds of the total on average. Thus, the true civilian fatality rate since 2004 according to our analysis is approximately 32 percent." [more inside]
Obama Goes to Kalamazoo
Do you remember who your high school graduation commencement speaker was? Yeah, me neither. Fortunately, the class of 2010 at Kalamazoo Central High School in Kalamazoo, MI won't have that problem: KCHS was just selected as the winner of the White House Race to the Top Commencement Challenge, and will host President Obama at this year's commencement ceremony.
By any means necessary.
Is "Too Big To Fail" Too Big To Exist?
When we write this up, I'll guarantee you, before the ink is dry, some 22-year-old is going to come out and figure six different ways to get around what I've just written. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd on the proposed Restoring American Financial Stability Act [.pdf] [more inside]
Music for everyone
We've had a post on bassist and vocalist Esperanza Spalding previously, but perhaps we could do with an update. Last year she played at the White House for Stevie Wonder's Gershwin Prize concert and again for the Evening of Poetry, Music, and the Spoken Word (previously). In December she performed at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, and, according to wikipedia, her February 6 performance on Austin Cty Limits (PBS [US only?], with Madeleine Peyroux) made her the most-searched person, and the second-most-searched item on Google the next day.

'GOP hopes to go from Party of No to Party of Choice.' 'Speaker after speaker at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference rallied the faithful with stinging denunciations of Obama and the Democratic majorities controlling the Senate and House of Representatives.' Palin. Gingrich. Ron Paul. Steele. And many more. 'They know how to say no to President Barack Obama. Now, can Republicans get the rest of the country to say yes to them?' 'Obama's approval ratings remain near or below 50 percent, a dangerous position for the party in power. Also, Americans may be souring on the Democratic brand little more than a year after electing a Democratic president and adding to the Democratic majorities in Congress. A new USA Today-Gallup Poll shows that just 41 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, the lowest in the nearly two decades Gallup's asked the question. By contrast, 42 percent had a favorable opinion of Republicans.' [more inside]
Is Anwar al-Awlaki a meddlesome prei-- imam?
President Obama has done the (apparently) unprecedented: he has authorized the assassination of an American citizen. Or should this be termed an extrajudicial execution? Or just the use of military force against terrorists? (Previously.)
"...to pursue the day when these weapons do not exist..."

One Night in Afghanistan
THE PRESIDENT: at a time when too many American institutions have let us down, when too many institutions have put short-term gain in front of a commitment to duty and a commitment to what's right... all of you want to build -- and that is something essential about America. [Al Qaeda and the violent extremists have] got no respect for human life. You see dignity in every human being. That's part of what we value as Americans. They want to drive races and regions and religions apart. You want to bring people together and see the world move forward together. [more inside]

America: Have vs Have-not
The Obama Coalition "These general findings suggest the possibility that the political strength of voters whose convictions are perhaps best described as Social Democratic in the European sense is reaching a significant level in the United States. With effective organization and mobilization, such voters are positioned to set the agenda in the Democratic Party in the near future."

Edward Tufte, infographics mandarin, has been recruited by the Obama administration to help explain the $787 billion stimulus plan. Mr. Tufte is said to abhor Powerpoint.

Big Brother: The Sequel
The Patriot Act was originally signed into law by Bush in 2001, following 9/11. This bill gives law enforcement agencies the power to search your email, telephone records, medical records, record your telephone conversations, without your consent. It's allowance of indefinite detention of immigrants has been a major point of criticism from opponents. Today, President Obama, who previously promised to protect our civil liberties, has quietly extended the bill for another year.
"We know that the first chance Obama gets, he will pounce on us."
Though President Obama has signed no laws since taking office that prohibit gun purchases and ownership, that hasn't stopped permit applications and weapons sales in the United States from rising through the roof and worried state legislators from passing laws they wouldn't otherwise pass, which greatly ease access and allow carrying weapons in, among other public areas, city, state and national parks. Schools may have to get their kids prepared.

Volcker Wins over Geithner (and Why This Might Be a Very Good Thing)
Obama Breaks with Geithner to support "Volcker Rule" in sweeping new financial sector reform proposal. Following the counsel of highly-respected former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker in a move that would significantly weaken the role of current Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, Obama's tough new proposals are being received by recent administration critic Robert Reich as a welcome, if overdue, policy correction. Among other things, the new proposals would effectively restore previous restrictions separating deposit and investment banks (as originally imposed by the depression-era Glass-Steagall Act), as well as imposing stiff new capital requirements, and restrictions designed to prevent banks from becoming too big to fail.

The Unauthorized Biographies
Rapper Shaun Boothe is now midway through his 12 part series of "unauthorized biographies", which showcase short history lessons about some of the major black figures of our time. Thus far, he's covered James Brown, Bob Marley (my favorite), Muhammed Ali, Martin Luther King (and briefly, Barack Obama), Jimi Hendrix, and Sean "Puffy" Combs. He's gotten some play and good press from major underground hip-hop media, due next in the series is a biography of Oprah Winfrey.
You will not be forgotten as long as I'm in this White House
"Indian country begins where the serene prairie of Custer county gives way to the formidable rock spires marking out South Dakota's rugged Badlands. The road runs straight until the indistinguishable, clapboard American homesteads fade from view and the path climbs into a landscape sharpened by an eternity of wind and water. At this time of year, the temperature slides to tens of degrees below freezing and a relentless gale sets the snow dancing on the road, a whirligig of white blotting out the black of the asphalt."

The Somerset region
Exmoor: exquisite National Park beside the sea: beech trees, sheep, wheeling buzzards and heather hills, from many of which you look over the sea to Wales and its mountains. Below are the most gracefully carved of steep oak-filled valleys where rushing, bouldered little rivers are paddleable and the red deer spend the winters, and perhaps the most dream-like rose-covered cottage villages of them all, where the pace of life is leisurely. At night, marvellously unpolluted skies for stargazing (recently designated an International Dark Sky Reserve).
Porlock Vale is one of the most beautiful farmed bits of England, Dunkery must be ascended, the area of The Chains is wild and wonderful for walking or riding; the Oare valley (Lorna Doone country) is an excellent place to take Granny for a visit to tiny, fascinating Oare church, a cream tea in Malmsmead and a sunset drive afterwards through the Valley of the Rocks to Woody Bay (if you drive well). Minehead, the main town, is good for sandcastles, has a Butlins (and a good golf course and a harbour) and isn't too big. Medieval Dunster is very pretty and has a fine castle (inhabited, National Trust); Dulverton, on the southern edge of the moor and popular with artists, has interesting shops and galleries; Culbone church, one of England's smallest, is worth walking to. Lots of good food pubs in 'hidden' villages, like Luxborough, where the welcome is warm and the atmosphere relaxed.
Exebridge: village (good food pub, fly fishing school) on the border between Devon and Somerset at the confluence of the Barle and Exe rivers. It derives its name from the bridge that spans the Exe. Shops at Dulverton and Bampton, both 3 miles. Wimbleball Lake (sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, rowing), 4 miles.

Back in January, I wrote a long article (now up on the new site) about the news that a movie version of the musical adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables was about to begin filming. At the time, it was too early to offer anything but the vaguest speculation about how the film would turn […]
Why There Is No Liberal "Atlas Shrugged"
Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as his vice-presidential running mate has set off a fresh new set of articles on the influence of Ayn Rand, and it has sent her magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged, back to the top of the Amazon best-seller lists. Though Ryan has recently abjured Ayn Rand's philosophy in favor of […]

@ Carlos Lago You dont speak any Spanish?
Very nice video! It is amazing how Cuba is truly frozen in the 1950's. And yet it is so close to Florida. Many of the cars in Cuba are still from the 1950's, and the buildings are very old. That is communism!
Bravo.. great v-blog!

The on again, off again discussions of building a Coast Guard museum in New London appear to be on again, but details remain lacking. The city is like a child excited to open a shiny new gift on her birthday, but she doesn't know when the birthday is!
Construction of a museum could be a game changer for revitalization of the downtown. Great progress is already being made as the city builds its reputation as a center for live music and visual arts. The district offers a wide variety of dining choices, too. And helping to anchor it all is the Garde Arts Center.
But development of a Coast Guard museum would make the area a destination point, generating the pedestrian traffic that is so vital to creating a vibrant urban commercial center. The history of the Coast Guard is a universally attractive one - with its stories of heroic rescues, drug interdiction and providing security for our homeland - making it a certain tourist destination. The city could also expect such a facility to host symposiums related to the Coast Guard's mission, adding to the economic activity that it would generate.
This newspaper has long contended that there can be no more appropriate place for the museum than New London, the proud home of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and a community with a rich seafaring history. But the challenges of finding a location and then building a privately funded museum are significant.
Several years ago plans were moving ahead to construct a 60,000-square-foot museum in the Fort Trumbull area. But when the Great Recession damaged fundraising efforts, backers of the project put it on hold. There was even talk of building instead in New York City.
In the end, the delay could prove fortunate. That is because attention has turned to building the museum somewhere in the downtown area. While development would be welcomed in Fort Trumbull, and could generate downtown activity if a pedestrian bridge were built connecting the fort area with the waterfront district, a downtown museum is the better choice.
This week Jimmy Coleman, chairman and president of the National Coast Guard Museum Association, confirmed that the group has narrowed its interest to a location on the city's waterfront. And New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio, meeting with the editorial board, said he suspects that an announcement is not far off. Adding to the excitement were Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr.'s comments that the museum association is "re-energized" and his optimism about the project is growing.
Mayor Finizio seems well aware of the potential for such an announcement to boost the spirits of a city struggling with fiscal challenges and still wrestling with the transition to a new form of government. We trust his administration is doing all it can to make this a reality.
Credit goes to the efforts of Todd O'Donnell, co-owner of Union Station, to generate interest in a downtown location for the museum. Mr. O'Donnell had suggested converting the historic train station into the museum, but the association decided it was not large enough. Mr. Coleman, however, said Mr. O'Donnell did help make the case for a downtown location.
Adm. Papp says the goal is an announcement before the end of the year. We certainly wouldn't mind if the birthday gift came earlier.
