Is there a setting which will provide RequestContext to each view autmatically?

Since I need my logged in user to be available to each
template, I
need to go and add  context_instance=RequestContext(request)
to each
view. Is there any setting which can make RequestContext
available to
each view?
A related question is, I have some objects I need to make
available to
each page, for example to show in the sidebar. So I need to
call a
method for each of my view to do add these objects, like
...

	payload = {'create_form': create,}
	payload.update(_get_sidebar_objects(request))
        return render_to_response('create.html', payload,
context_instance=RequestContext(request),)

Is there some way I can make some objects avaibale to all
templates?

from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template

view:
   return direct_to_template(request, 'template.htm',
extra_context)

On top of that, use a context_processor (follow alex's
link)
