(Community Matters) Big win, today’s luncheon benefiting Atticus Circle. Honored: my dear friend, Broadway producer & philanthropist Paul Boskind; David & Amy Troung, parents of Asher Brown, a teen bullying victim who committed suicide; and former TCU football player Vincent Pryor who came out while in college. After his interview and while still on stage, Vincent asked his partner of 13 years, Alan Detlaff, to marry him – Alan accepted.

Founder Anne Wynn, executive director Ruth Gardner-Loew, the co-chairs and all the board members did an excellent job. Thank you, thank you, thank you

(Community Matters) I was talking with David Modigliani at lunch today. We were talking about the next few weeks and he mentioned this video. Tips to share with friends coming in for SXSW

Vodpod videos no longer available.

(Community Matters) important reminders from Gen McCaffrey’s Iran presentation (see two postings below) – one slide:

(Community Matters) Interesting supposition:

Politico Playbook: NYMag’s Jonathan Chait, “Will Olympia Snowe join Americans Elect?”: “Snowe’s statement seems unusually specific (‘unique opportunities to build support for that change from outside the United States Senate’) about her intent to do something. I suspect it may not be coincidental that David Boren, the former Democratic senator from Oklahoma and oil industry lickspittle, came out for Americans Elect today. The group is set up so that its presidential and vice-presidential candidates need to come from opposing parties.” http:// bit.ly/wLuuUY

(Community Matters) Per Salon, via Playbook, “Gen. McCaffrey [retired] privately briefs NBC execs on war with Iran . . . he all but predicts war with Iran within the next 90 days: one that is likely to be started by them.”   PowerPoint
