A tribute to the Fourth Estate, welcome all news junkies!

It's called the "Newseum" and it has cost $450 million to build. And, as a IHT report said the other day, this 74- foot- high glass facade, "is determined to be noticed."

In fact, if you are in Washington DC, you can't miss it. This museum "created by, for and about news people," is locted across the way from the National Gallery of Art and down the street from the National Archives on Pennsylvania Avenue. It lies along the presidential inaugural path leading to the White House.

The main funder of the Newseum is the Freedom Forum, a nonpartisan foundation in Arlington.

IHT writer Edward Rothstein says this news museum has been created by, for and about "news acolytes, news reporers, newsmakers, and news advocates..."

It was officially opened last Friday.

What about sending this "The Nation", to this place !, together with the corrupted journalists, who glued their bottocks in airconditioned room.

Thanks, I'd never heard of this and it's only 4 hours away. 6 at rush hour.
