The year of Michael

Last night's CBS telecast of the Kennedy Center Honors from Washington was a magnificent tribute to each of the five honorees-- Bruce Springsteen, Mel Brooks, Robert DeNiro, Grace Bumbry, and Dave Brubeck, but the sad thought crossed my mind midway through that we'll never get the chance to see Michael Jackson honored in such a fashion by his country.

A year of honoring Michael, though, ends with the online release this week of Spike Lee's music video for "This Is It." It's heavy on images from the Jackson birthday tribute in Brooklyn's Prospect Park this fall and of the singer's hometown of Gary, Indiana. Very moving.

Enjoy a good spy story?

Don't be surprised if Ralph Nader jumps in to oppose Christopher Dodd during the Senator's re-election bid in 2010. Run, Ralph, run.
