Caveat: My mother stole my money

I'm recording some debates and student speeches in class with my new video camera.  I think that it will take a lot of editing to put together anything that looks like a "real" debate.  However, there are some short segments that will make for good excerpts, I think.  Here is Candy, telling a short anecdote about how her mother stole her money and went to Hong Kong.

Caveat: What about Gitmo

The Obama administration has proven disappointing in lots of ways, so far, although it's early to pass judgement.  But one thing I'm surprised about is how stymied they seem over the Guantanamo issue.  There was a proposal by someone named GUÉNAËL METTRAUX in a recent New York Times that seemed like a plausible and workable solution to the dilemma created by Bush et al. 

In a side note… I may have to stop reading the New York Times online… more and more, I'm getting "you have to pay for this section" or "you have to be registered for this section" notifications.  It's annoying.  I quit reading the Washington Post for a similar reason.  Everyone says… well, papers have to support themselves.  True.   But sitting in South Korea, it's not necessarily convenient to have some kind of online subscription to a website, given unreliable access issues (due to being inside Korea's weird, unpredictable national firewall, and having a crappy DSL provider, among other things).  So I just shop around for what's convenient, I guess.
