I just left a showing of this new movie - Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World - at a premier hosted by the Center for American Progress. Albert Brooks, the writer, director and lead actor in the film, did a lovely job of addressing a range of American assumptions about Muslims,
India, Pakistan, and diplomatic relations. But really, it's a funny movie. Senator Fred Thompson is in it. Go see it.

If you are in DC, and aren't going to events hosted by John Podesta's Center for American Progress, you ought to be. They have a range of events, and I've attended a handful of them. It's egalitarian, too. They open up their attendance to anyone who gets the emails, and it's usually first come, first serve. Senator John Kerry, Paul Begala and Grover Norquist were all there, a few rows behind me and a bunch of regular DC folks at the Regal Gallery Place 14 . It's a lovely roster of events that CAP hosts, and I urge you to join me in the future.

Go see Albert Brooks' film too.
