- Some startling beautiful NASA photos. If all the Internet gave us was instant access to space photographs, it will have given us enough.
- John Conyers isn't a big fan of reading legislation before casting a vote: "What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?"
- Some punk named Scola fleshes out the State Department's new 21st Century Statecraft initiative, and how it blends development and diplomacy.
- Generate an outrageous medical bill to send your member of Congress.
- Mike Stark takes his video camera to Capitol Hill, and finds House Republicans entertaining birther theories.
- Twitter feeds for New York State transit.
- Orszag blogs on making one-click lobbyist disclosure: "[T]he White House shortly will provide departments and agencies with a new technology tool -- so that thorough reporting and information standards will be easily accessible for anyone to see."
- And HuffPo on the political force that is Orszblog!
