Bravo to the New Yorker. This is compelling and fantastic work.
“The Mission to Get Osama Bin Laden” – reads like a screen play to me. Really visual; and really terrific writing; check it out this weekend.

Tough Room
Everyone is a critic.
Everyone has an opinion.
Congress doesn’t score that high on its ratings.
Murdoch’s popularity is down too.
And God – depends on the subject and the age group?
On just about any subject, half the people will be against it. And the other half for it.
Tough room. Tough crowd. Click here. I thought these stats were fascinating.
Michael Moore Hates America
A documentary. Tit for tat.
I thought this one was controversial, funny and should be watched.
I am glad it is on SnagFilms.com. Watch it today and see why America is a great country and there is freedom of speech!
The President Addressed It
Withdrawal. Finally. Measured and needed.
Watch the film “Afghanistan Revealed”. Crisp and to the point. All you need to know to understand. On SnagFilms.com.
Can’t Make Any of This Up
Score One for Mr. President
Air Force One

On Air Force One?

Perspective
The 80′s were all about cable television and satellite technology; “tear down that wall”. CNN gave the world transparency and helped the walls come down and end the Cold War. At its heart, the Cold War proved that if you rule and try to control you had better create an economy that works and is deep into the masses providing services and employment. The Cold War ended because people didn’t have jobs and didn’t believe in hope of a better day and the governments in place couldn’t stomp out resistance because cameras were showing what was happening around the world.
The good guys won. Justice was served. Capitalism and a new kind of people’s democracy bloomed.
We are seeing this cycle again in the Middle East.
Students and young people – without hope and jobs – are amassing to take their country back. The average age of an Egyptian is 24 years old.
It is a revolution about jobs. And hope. And promise and a people’s social movement. It is fueled by new technology and a retro pacifist Ghandi-like aura as a cherry on top.
And it is all about “Meet ups”; flash mobs; Facebook; Twitter; cell phones and texting; and cell phones taking photos and sharing everywhere. CNN has left the building. Citizen reporters are everywhere!
The young people. They sing. They joke. They believe in the power of unity. Might isn’t making right here.
They rope a dope.
They will win.
Revolution 2.0 – a next generation app off of a social media platform.
Awesome to see!

A Wonderful Moment
A wonderful scene.
George Washington University honors our new Mayor at last night’s men’s basketball game. Read this story. Amazing!
A great man. A great message.
We are fortunate that our Mayor is a fan of all things related to athletics and youth.
He understands the higher calling represented in competition.
Sports helped make our Mayor the man that he is today.
Mayor Gray has been very enthusiastic in support of all our teams and he is the driving force behind several high school basketball tournaments in the city. He rocks on the softball fields as well, I hear.
And he and I had a wonderful moment once at a Washington Mystics game where we both had the opportunity to sit at center court with President Obama.
We are all looking forward to working with him and his staff.
The Mayor understands the double bottom line nature of athletics.
Let us all work together with our new Mayor to help make Washington DC the greatest city on earth. Ladies and gentleman, our new Mayor…Mr. Vincent Gray.
