Still depressed that you didn't get that cushy ambassadorship? Able and willing to donate and bundle ginormous amounts of money for President Obama's reelection and for the D's in 2012?

Then buck up! If history is any guide, there could be some fine ambassadorial openings starting toward the end of this year, and even more next year. These jobs are getting very, very expensive - the really plum ones are likely to go for upward of $1 million.
