Spring has arrived - and now I cannot see clearly anymore...
Hero of the day: Nancy Pelosi
See a nice time line of health care politics in the NYT here.
Barack did what he does best and had a nice speech to celebrate:
“In the end what this day represents is another stone firmly laid in the foundation of the American dream,” the president said. “Tonight, we answered the call of history as so many generations of Americans have before us. When faced with crisis, we did not shrink from our challenges. We overcame them. We did not avoid our responsibilities, we embraced it. We did not fear our future, we shaped it.”

What I saw at the European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht 2010
This years fair was not full of surprises of exciting great pieces. But there were some nice things to see. Hamiltons had a collection of Irving Penn photo's for his small trades series. Some interesting greek and roman statues were there and some weird stuff as well - like the bikes with milk cans above.

The Cove - An Oscar for the documentary - a bloody story in real.
Twenty-six fishermen in 13 boats corral a few dozen dolphins into the small cove, where they kill the animals by stabbing them repeatedly with long harpoons and knives. The 50-square-foot inlet turns crimson, as if filled only with blood.
In the course of a six-month season, fishermen kill roughly 2,000 dolphins and sell the meat to local supermarkets for about U.S. $500 a dolphin. The fishermen supplement their income by taking about a hundred dolphins alive and selling them for tens of thousands of dollars each to aquariums.
