NWO is Back

Posted on March 8, 2011 by Paul Sonderman

I’ve been letting New World Odor float in the ether for some time now, waiting for a good reason to return. In my last ADD med consult, my physician asked if I’d blogged lately and I admitted that I’d not. … Continue reading →

I’m Only Sleeping (Thank You!)

Posted on March 1, 2010 by Paul Sonderman

I sincerely thank those of you who put up with my wildly fluctuating productivity and even deeper thanks to those among you who comment. You make doing this worthwhile. I mention this not as a prelude to “deep-sixing” NWO, since I have no intention of doing anything of the sort. Continue reading →

Media Grouses About Obama Press Access

Posted on July 24, 2009 by Paul Sonderman

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”. According to The Times, Barack is trying to meet with more frequency because he feels that if he doesn’t actively communicate with us, his message will be possibly overlooked or misconstrued.

Ryan Montbeau came as a total surprise to us. We Googled him and found hid web site, which is great. He’s one of those rare musician/writer/singer who can be as entertaining alone as when he’s accompanied by other talented players. We saw him solo and were amazed. He’s not flashy but his voice and guitar playing are expressive, dexterous and remarkable; his lyrics are poetry. Continue reading →

Posted on June 24, 2009 by Paul Sonderman
