People who assault others by using inflammatory names belittling race, culture, gender, position, social status, religion or sexual preference simply shouldn’t work in public service–especially law enforcement–where their mind-numbing prejudices can so seriously damage others.

I saw an article in the New York Times grousing about Barack Obama’s alleged exercise undue control over the media by having “four times” the number of Press Conferences than his nearest Dem precursor, Bill Clinton (equating to FAR less than his immediate predecessor, King George). In doing so, according to the Times, Mr. Obama repeats complaints, about the “news cycle”.

If you’ve never seen the Blue Man Group live, you’ve missed one of the most entertaining nights of your life. I’ve seen them several times in different venues, from club dates to large outdoor pavilions and each time they presented a program designed to maximize the surroundings yet create a fun, exciting, interactive experience full of creativity, superb music and humor. They’re simply sensational. When I saw their “Rock Concert” iteration, Tracy Bonham opened for and then appeared with them. It was my first exposure to Bonham and she was phenomenal.

As much as I’ve always loved Joe Cocker, his unique style (I’d say inimitable but he was extremely vulnerable to impersonation–remember Belushi on SNL?) and his simply electrifying rendition of the Ringo Starr’s “A Little Help From My Friends” at Woodstock.

SWEET JUMPIN’ MOSES!  OBAMA POPULARITY TANKS!
AFP reports that a recent USA Today/Gallup poll cites tumbling numbers that show Obama trailing Bush by a point at this 6-month juncture .  No shit, a single point–that’s the news. Margin of error is plus or minus 4.

Hmmm. Speaking of racist Republicans, here’s a freebie. Caught it as I wrote Episode 2. This isn’t an episode in my series. These are just Joe Blows, blowin’ my mind.
