As if the rabbi’s basketball fandom wasn’t enough, this weekend marks the beginning of the World Cup. I haven’t followed soccer since college, but it is in South Africa, so I love that. In honor of both of my loves, here are some Thursday cartoons.

Thursday Cartoons to China: Tear Down This Wall!
Posted in Networks and Infrastructure, tagged cartoon, China, Clinton, freedom on January 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
There’s a lot of good cartoons out about Haiti, and all of the different sub-themes of that topic – Pat Robertson, the mess that Haiti was BEFORE the earthquake so lack of governance/infrastructure/UN ability to respond, how lucky the rest of us are in comparison. I’d really recommend Cagle’s Cartoons’ Haiti coverage.
Since all my favorite cartoons this week were Haiti related, I’m left with just a couple others. The first is the ‘Obstacle Course to Civilized Health Care’. The second is the one I’ve posted, a rather pretty illustration of the hole Google seems to have left in China’s wall.
I was supposed to go to the Newseum this morning w several other YPFP members to watch Sec. Clinton’s speech on internet freedom and instead ended up watching it from my couch w plenty of advil and a heating pad since I somehow managed to hurt my back last night rocking out to La Coterie (really, check them out. Well worth whatever pain I’m feeling). This actually turned out to be ok, bc I now have the opportunity to watch the live-stream of the related panel discussion, whereas YPFP left after Clinton.
If you didn’t get a chance to watch the speech, check out @DipNote – the State Twitter feed, and also @JoshuaMarcuse – YPFP’s president who also had excellent Twitter coverage.
Thursday Posts Had No Problems with Security

I was traveling (vacation!) all last week so I didn’t post, but thought this cartoon would be fun. I really didn’t have any problems with security, but I’m sure those traveling closer to the holidays had a nightmare experience.

About time too.
It’s been a crazy year, especially the last 6 months. I moved back to VA, left my job, started grad school, fell in love, and started exploring my religion more. I also returned to blogging, and even started working on a new blog for my grad program, which hopefully I will post to more next semester. From the past year, my favorite posts, and a few cartoons.
- I, and several others, live-tweeted the foreign policy coup of the year, as YPFP secured Adm. Mike Mullen as a speaker
- I finally wrapped my head around what I want to say about R2P
- I realized what being on Twitter means, and maybe finally grew up a little in my relationship
- I came up with next semester’s big paper topic
- I wrote my first post for DemocracyAndSociety.com
- I said goodbye
- I finally screwed up my courage and started writing about what everyday idealism means, to me
Happy New Year!
