Ain't Backing Down From Backing Barack!

Thanks to those volunteers and BHO supporters who reached out to me in the past 36 hours since my twilight zone experience at the Valley HQ. Senator Obama is still my man. I'm just gonna forget all about the gung ho foolios and hope and pray that they find a little balance and that the coordinators succeed in urging them to chill out. 'Cause when Obama wins on February 5 and I'm gonna show up at the HQ and be welcomed (and not pressed to phone bank). Like Curtis Mayfield said, "Keep On Pushing!"

N-n-n-n-new jack hustler.......
Y'know, after all these years of voting on the Republican side of the coin I'm leaning towards the brotha from IL myself. I just don't see a clear choice on the red side (McCain's too old, Romney seems too polished, and Rudy's personal life is too questionable). That leaves Obama and Hillary. Now, as stated in a previous blog comment, if she gets the Dem nom I'm moving to England to join the Spice Girls. And what is with her in the debates?? She keeps referring to her "35 years of experience"..what??? She's been an in elected position for only a few years, her stints as US and AR First Lady are not "experience", and before that she was a corporate attorney. Her only experience I can muster from her is political rhetoric and trying to keep her husband's zipper closed.
Obama, to me, is always well-prepared, thinks fast on his feet, and actually wants to do good for the country (as opposed to most politicians who are more concerned with their own ascendency)...
Yikes..in the almost 20 years I've known Norman I believe this is the first time I've sided with him politically.

P.S. All this talk of the Hoyas, yet no mention of my alma mater taking down the then #1 ranked Tar Heels last weekend...

And there shall continue to be none of that talk. Wallow in the victory now, cuz. Since when was too much polish a liability, when all of your reasons for digging BHO tend to revolve around different ways of saying polish, like PO-lish. Roll out the barrel... Happy Hour time.

As stated in Letterman's Top Ten List, Obama (if elected da Prez) said he would appoint Romney "Secretary of Lookin' Good"..

Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air - Book Review

“The Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air” is a trippy new mystery novel from Phillip Mottaz. It captures the grit and gilt of the City of Angels with the flair of a contemporary Raymond Chandler. The brisk pace and wit are reminiscent of Douglas Adams’s entries in the detective game. Flourishes of  Fletch  and “Medium” also spring to mind. However, Mottaz has added a psychic/mutant/superhuman touch and his own comedic voice, structure and internal monologues to the proceedings that help the author announce his own style and the arrival of a literary heroine for a new generation. Hairstylist and budding private investigator, Danica Luman is the perfect character to convey the irony, angst and sarcasm needed to tell a 21st century L.A. crime story. Danica also represents anyone who thought it would be neat to get tangled up in a mystery and the darkly comic cautionary tale that follows. The genre is recognizable, but Mottaz offers a fresh take on the not-ready-for-prime-time-hard-b

Being There [Grammy Recap]

Hey Soul Mates, Check out your boy. Yes, I did look that damn suave at the Grammys last night. Look, the tickets very clearly said "black tie." What could be less rock and roll than black tie? Not wearing "black tie." Frankly, the hipsters and the club girls just looked silly. Maybe I'm getting sartorially conservative, but you must be clean for the Grammys. We arrived early in the afternoon. A beautifully mild afternoon in downtown L.A. and not a sign of the predicted rain. I wanted to experience the whole nine, so we got there in time for the "Pre-telecast" ceremony. This is where 97 of the 108 gramophone statuettes are awarded. It was much more entertaining and endearing than the actual broadcast. The winners were genuinely moved, were not limited in their speech time and came in all stripes. Now, very few of the acts I voted for won. But the day did start off with a bang as OK Go won best short form video for the treadmill hopping video for Here

Freebird, Fla.

Hey Soul Mates, the Rock Hall inductee class of '06 has been announced. Now, my high school mates (especially, Mike) can shut up about Jacksonville's own, Lynyrd Skynyrd making the Hall. Congrats to them. This is not my favorite group of Hall of Famers: Miles Davis, Black Sabbath, Blondie and the Sex Pistols. Of this batch, only Blondie was a contemporary presence for me. No disrespect to the fans of the other artists. Just not my cup of tea. I'm sure my buddy Mark though is still lamenting Chicago's absence from the Rock Hall. The induction ceremony should be interesting though, because a lot of country-rockers are going to come out of the woodwork to honor Skynyrd. Blondie, Sabbath and the Pistols are all relatively intact so their performances will be highly anticipated. I'm particularly anxious to hear what the Sex Pistols portion of the evening will entail. Who will induct them? Green Day? U2? That's sure to be the highlight of the night. That, and Ozzy
