President Obama will make his big pitch to the IOC in Copenhagen, trying to leverage his international prestige (read: star power) to lock down the 2016 Summer Olympics for his adopted hometown of Chicago.

The Heritage Foundation will wrap up its Homeland Security University: The Big Picture on Homeland Security event, and, not to be missed for any aspiring screenwriters in the ranks of DC's policy-ites, the New America Foundation will host a discussion entitled "Go West, Young Policy Wonk: Should DC Policy Advocates Become Hollywood Screenwriters?"
