Seeing some family and friends. More family seeing as most colleges don't give a 4 day President's Weekend. Anyway some exciting news, I will be going to my favorite city, Washington D.C., twice next month. First, I will be down there on March 14-18 for the United States Student Association LegCon, and then I will be down again a few days later March 24-26 for the Hillel Summit. Both should be fun and exciting, even if the conferences are boring I will be in Washington, D.C. Maybe I will go apartment hunting for a few years from now. </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway this weekend I will probably head into Manhatten, see some friends, maybe do some shopping, etc. Before heading back to Albany. It's officially one week till my birthday, I will be 20, how unexciting is that. </div><div><br /></div><div>Next weekend I will be at SUNY Orange from Friday-Saturday for the SUNY Student Assembly Monthly Meeting, then back to Albany to party like its my birthday (but it will be my birthday), then Sunday the whole family, mom, dad, and brother are coming to Albany to spend the day. </div><div><br /></div>Reuben A.

I have always loved the Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, but they offer impeccable coverage. On TV they have people analyzing everything, in a surprisingly non-bias manner. Online they offer coverage of every campaign headquarters. I looked through others and no one offered coverage like this. Also the video quality was amazing for online video. <div><br /><div> </div><div>Politico.com pulls a close second with James Kotecki (of Playbook TV) streaming live from New Hampshire, and a poll widget that updated automatically. But with out having live coverage in other areas viewers need to tune in some place else. </div><div><br /></div><div>I hope this amazing coverage continues through to election day. Maybe if CNN does their BLOG PARTY in DC again for the election I will be there!!! </div></div>Reuben A.

Note I did not say activism because joining a facebook group (i.e. 1 Million Strong for Colbert) is not like the activism of the 1960's. I am not trying to sound cynical but the decision makers in Washington are not logging on as they consider their vote on the genocide in Darfur, or the apparent nuclear threat from Iran. <div><br /><div> </div><div>DON'T stop joining these groups because its is a great way to network with others involved in the cause. However after joining if you really want to make a change, you need to stand up and say something. </div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>Now I did find some interesting research on InsideFacebook.com a blog that tracks whats happening on facebook. They performed a <a href="http://www.insidefacebook.com/2008/01/02/2008-statistics-on-american-politics-on-facebook/">study</a> on the spread of facebook in terms of political parties. FYI: Washington, D.C. has the highest number of registered users! </div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg13JScliUwK9y9G0uu2GNRp_too6E9qlea_WwHYxceXltVcvISnWvTpx-rCarf3afjejwClyD9RWQ4u2FCDiaxXIiUmq7XFDmHxb1Gjg70_kSmhfPgYXUyMzogYgovEAMP19rzTzCHehM/s400/Picture+5.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152785210178675522" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; " /><div><br /></div><div> </div></div>Reuben A.
