Today and tomorrow, most of the Atlantic's staff is at the Newseum in Washington, for the "First Draft of History" conference. Live streaming webcast
here, along with pictures, real-time updates, after-action analyses, and so on. Atlantic staff members are rotating in the role of Official Recording Secretary (aka blogger) for each session. My duty today was the Brian Williams-David Petraeus discussion. First dispatch
here; longer followup, with four clips of Petraeus in action,
here.

I spell F'DOH with an apostrophe in homage both to
Homer Simpson and to Portuguese
Fado music. Although I realize that for Homer alone, it should be FD'OH.
