Paterson Looking to Lay Off Thousands At Beginning of 2011


After his most recent plan to furlough half the state work force was blocked, Governor Paterson is now drafting a plan that would lay off thousands of government employees at the beginning of next year. Paterson will soon be looking to state agencies for counsel as to which positions could be eliminated starting January 1, 2011, which is when the no-layoffs pledge he made with public employee unions last year will expire. Of course, that date also marks the end of his term as governor, meaning the layoffs decision will ultimately be made by his successor. [NYT]

Sculptor Louise Bourgeois Dead at 98


French-born sculptor and artist Louise Bourgeois, known for her “psychologically charged” abstract sculptures, drawings and prints, died Monday in Manhattan. Many of her famous works involved spiders, including the 30-foot-high stainless steel "Maman" sculpture on display at the Tate Modern in London. Bourgeois didn't gain fame until the later part of her career, fueled in part by the inspiring effect her work had on younger artists. She died of a heart attack at the age of 98. [NYT]

Internet Campaign Pushing for Donald Glover as Spider-Man Gains Steam


In the latest of the recent spate of grass roots Facebook campaigns, fans have begun an effort to get Community’s Donald Glover cast as the next Spider-Man. After last week’s reveal of the five (relatively unknown) actors in contention to play Peter Parker in the upcoming reboot of the franchise, i09’s Marc Bernadin wrote a piece arguing that “the last thing Spider-Man should be is another white guy.” This spurred the suggestion from commenters that Glover (previously a writer for 30 Rock) would be a great choice.

Glover himself has actively supported the campaign, tweeting, “I don’t want to just be given the role. I want to be able to audition. I truly love Spider-Man.” He asked his Twitter followers to retweet the “#donald4spiderman” hashtag, which rose to the third top trending topic in the U.S. Monday night. And in about 24 hours, the Facebook fan page already has over 3,000 members. While they're at it, we wouldn't mind campaigns for Alison Brie as Mary Jane and Ken Jeong as the Green Goblin.

Al Qaeda's Third In Command Reportedly Killed in Pakistan


Yazid in 2008.

Mustafa Abu al-Yazid - Al Qaeda’s co-founder and third in command, as well as the operational leader in Afghanistan - has been killed in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area, according to a statement attributed to the terror network that was posted on Islamist websites. Yazid, who was also Al Qaeda’s financial director, was allegedly killed by a missile-carrying drone, according to a senior U.S. official. A different official said that "in terms of counterterrorism this would be a big victory" as Yazid "was key to Al Qaeda's command and control," making this loss "in some respects... more important for Al Qaeda operations than if [Osama] bin Laden or [Ayman] Zawahiri was killed."

Iran Has Enough Fuel To Build Two Nuclear Weapons, Says U.N. Report


According to a report from international nuclear inspectors, Iran now has enough fuel so that, “with further enrichment,” they would be able to make two nuclear weapons. The report comes before the U.N. Security Council’s vote on a potential fourth round of sanctions against the country, a move which has been supported by the Obama administration. Iran did tentatively agree eight months ago to send some of its nuclear material out of the country, but the White House said the deal would still leave Iran with enough fuel to build one weapon. Furthermore, the report claims Iran has expanded work at one of its nuclear sites. Iran maintains that they are using their nuclear facilities to work toward “peaceful projects.”

U.N. Security Council Holds Emergency Session After Israel Raid


Pro-Palestinian demonstrators at the Israeli consulate in Barcelona.

After the Israeli military stormed a six-ship flotilla of pro-Palestinian activists en route to Gaza with aid supplies, killing at least nine of the activists, an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting was called Monday where Israel faced condemnation and questions. Israel maintains that the clashes were warranted as the flotilla aimed to break its blockade of Gaza, whereas Palestinian leaders said Israel was responsible for an unprovoked assault on civilians.

As the U.N. continues its own investigation, several participants at the meeting - including Britain’s ambassador the U.N. - called for an end to Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

"No state is above the law," Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said at the meeting, "Israel must be held accountable for its crimes."


Amid many conflicting reports of what exactly happened on the flotilla, Israel has released footage of the raid in an attempt to prove its soldiers acted out of self-defense.

Breaking Bad Recap: I’ll Be the Danny


In the course of not just watching, but having to write at length about a TV series each week, it’s only natural that episodes get graded on a curve, that certain positive elements get celebrated and inflated beyond their actual worth. It is with that disclaimer that I offer this: This may have been as well-written an episode of dramatic television as has been produced. Yes, yes, Deadwood and The Wire, put your hands down, but in its own quiet, bleak way, Breaking Bad is finding new ways to reach those high-water marks without seeming to break a sweat.

Look no further than the opening. In the season’s second Jesse-related flashback scene, he and Jane are at the Georgia O’Keefe exhibit he’d already wiggled out of going to once to cook meth — and get stranded in the desert with — Walt. Which leads to a discussion of not only vaginas, but the nature of compulsion: Did the artist paint dozens of doors because she loved the concept, or because she couldn’t get it right? Knowing that this is happening in the brief, halcyon period of their relationship before Jane’s ill-fated relapse makes this back-and-forth about addiction bittersweet. But then there’s the kicker: Jane punctuates her point by stubbing her lipstick-tinged cigarette butt in the ashtray — the same butt Jesse stares at dewy-eyed before last week’s fly-catching melodrama. (A flashback that actually informs and enhances the current action rather than merely be a structural parlor trick with no discernible payoff? Now we’ve seen everything.)

How pervasive is Breaking Bad’s all-enveloping sense of doom? You could probably be excused for mistaking the shot of Hank’s useless feet dangling over the training apparatus for those of someone who’s just hanged himself. Hank’s frustration over his condition and his refusal to leave the hospital until he can walk out feel as palpable real as Walt’s resigned acceptance of his illness two seasons back. With the bills for Hank’s therapy starting to roll in, Skyler is determined to make good on her promise. After a genuine, unforced familial moment at the dinner table, Skyler reveals to Walt that she has not filed the divorce papers, citing the ol’ married-couples-can’t-testify-against-one-another chestnut, but this isn’t about reconciliation. She knows a thing or two about shady bookkeeping, she wants in, and she has her doubts about whether the awesomely-named Ice Station Zebra Associates will hold up as a front.

Which can only mean one thing: Better call Saul. Not only does this meeting of minds lead to one of Saul’s best-ever lines (“I see Walt has the same taste in women he has in attorneys — the very best, with just the right amount of dirty”), as well as the revelation of his alma mater (University of American Samoa), but it sets up a conflict that will drive the rest of this season and beyond. Should Walt continue to trust Saul’s well-honed criminal instincts, or would it make more sense to outsiders if he, as Skyler suggests, buys the car wash he worked at for four years? Saul insists the laser tag plan is foolproof — it comes complete with Danny, who will play ball and make sure everything goes smoothly. The car wash’s manager doesn’t look so compliant. Her shady-bookkeeping skills no longer needed at Beneke, Skyler volunteers her services.

Meanwhile, Jesse’s quest to prove himself as a liberated, heartlessly evil meth-slinging automaton hits a snag. He seduces Andrea with the hope of selling to her, only to rediscover his capacity for remorse upon learning that she has a precocious, slightly husky young son, Brock. Badger and Skinny Pete are no help selling to the 12-steppers; they’re actually getting into the recovery themselves. And now that Walt’s clearly onto Jesse’s skimming, he needs to move the product fast. But Jesse’s remorse is short-lived upon learning that Andrea’s little brother Tomas was initiated into a meth ring by killing Combo. Yes, it’s a coincidence as unlikely as Walt having a drink with Jane’s dad, but maybe Albuquerque is a really small town? We’ve never been.

Walt is surprised, and presumably terrified, to find himself invited to Gus’ house for a fish stew dinner. (“You can help me cook,” Gus deadpans.) The scene is as genteel and civilized as Gus’ well-appointed kitchen, yet, praise be to Giancarlo Esposito, feels absolutely drenched in tension. This all leads to Gus’ flatly-intoned warning: Don’t make the same mistake twice. It could be an admonishment for letting Jesse back into his lab and his business, or for not letting his marriage stay dead. Either way, Walt knows he’s in too deep to take that warning lightly. Extricating himself from Skyler would be impossible, so that can’t be good news for Jesse. Anyone have a copy of Aaron Paul’s contract lying around?

Other recaps:
Alan Sepinwall at HitFix suggests that the mistake Walt might be repeating is his re-entrance into the business.
Donna Bowman at AV Club helpfully points out that the episode’s title refers to the New Mexico town where Georgia O’Keefe lived.
