Ladies and Gentlemen, Brody Jenner
For those of you who know my assistant Jason, you know hes from the tough streets of the Pacific Palisades where they fight over organic produce and wheatgrass shots.. What you may not know is the admiration the youth hold for Brody Jenner. Sure Brody's from Malibu but its close enough and he represents all of the possibilities of life. (Plus he has a sweet Old English tattoo of his name.) As you can see Jason is doing what he can to show his respect for the one he aspires to be.
Hendrix Blues
I know the album concept post 2000 is on life support but do yourself a favor and get this album. I imagine Hendrix recorded this when he was just plain tired of the Hey Joe solo and wanted to just play. Wait till your stressed out a bit, turn the lights out, light an old school pin joint, sit back in a lazy chair and just listen.. Its the poor mans spa treatment.

oh Alaska
Is it even possible that Alaska will elect an 84 year old republican senator with 7 felony convictions. Alaska has really put its best foot forward over the last 6 months..

Dear Mike- we love you but its time to fall back on these. The first few were hot but its time to wrap it up. Yours Truly.
City at bottom of lake
Here’s something you don’t see every day: a town built in the middle of a lake, not on an island, but actually below water level. It’s the ancient city of Seuthopolis, in Bulgaria, and it’s been underwater since 1954, a mere 6 years after it was initial discovered. Now, it’s coming up from the depths with the lake staying around it. This is going to be done via the construction of a huge circular dike that’ll be a whopping 1,377 feet in diameter and 65 feet high. People will be able to access the recessed city by boat, heading down into it to see the city. And the focus isn’t on archeology here, but rather on tourism, with Bulgaria looking to create a striking image that draws people in. And really, there are few things that make a town more striking than have it sit on the bottom of a lake. Cool stuff.
Angelou qoute
The ship of my life may or may not be sailing on calm and amiable seas.
The challenging days of my existence may or may not be bright and promising.
Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.
If i insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow.
Today I am blessed.
(my wife found this and i love it)

Cornel West
"Democracy is all about dialogue, discussion, and critical exchange, bold speech, frank speech, but rooted in that burying- that dying to live more fully. Democracy contests fundamentalism- religious fundamentalism, free market fundamentalism, secular fundamentalism. These are made accountable through democracy. It faces down narrow, exclusive perspectives that make it difficult to open our minds to alternatives."

Today
Today is a good day. I can feel it in the air and the people around me. This is the first time Ive been inspired by a presidential candidate and its exciting. Its like a foot coming out of quicksand about to take its first step. It took a long time but our country is ready to change. Not in the cliche way but in a real way. Fear and control has stopped working. The war on intelligence is coming to an end. People are informed, people are questioning what theyve been told and are open to the evolution that actually moves us forward. Obama has struck a chord that resonates with peoples best intentions. The right has claimed both God and patriotism for the last 8 years and now we are seeing the true meaning of both as they play out right before our eyes.
Cant be mad at this...
Baconnaise
From the maker of Bacon Salt comes Baconnaise ($15/3 pack). This bacon flavored spread is tasty on everything from sandwiches to celery. Spread the bacon love.
Be Bold?
So to be honest im a little disappointed in the Bold after all the hype.. its bigger, heavier and not as hot as I thought it would be... Of course Ima get one because Im a jackass... The Storm might be the move tho...

Evolve
Think its time we evolve as a country? Then look no further than Barack Obama. A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, and a compassionate community organizer, state senator and U.S. senator, this unique presidential candidate features sound judgment, off-the-chart leadership skills, and the ability to repair our standing with the world and bridge a super-divided America. In addition to intellect that we've sorely lacked the last eight years, Obama also comes with a tremendously competent vice presidential nominee (you betcha!), and tons of hope. Other features include tax cuts for 95% of Americans, a smart economic recovery plan, a health care plan that actually helps families, much-needed open dialog with our adversaries, non-grumpy grandpa
temperament, and a green energy plan that
will create tons of jobs. There's simply no
better choice for the 44th president of the
United States. Vote.
(uncrate)
Freedom.
Freedom comes to the one that has the power to release his point of view,
not the one that holds his opinion in his cold dead fist and never lets go.
thanks Breck

From Field Correspondent Andrew Mains... hysterical
This is one of those things where im not sure if everyone else in the world has already seen it. But this piece of web flotsam gave me the hardest laugh I've ever had at any video of any kind. Apparently this fucking genius went through some classic guitar solo footage and replaced the original guitar track audio with some .... well ... kind of wack guitar. But everything else is still perfectly intact. I dont know what kills me more, Ozzie clapping along or the deafening silence from the over 200k person crowd.
HOLY SHIT!! She really is delusional.. this is scary.
First the whole "earth is 6000 years old" debacle and now this.. you couldnt make this shit up
Palin: First Amendment Rights Threatened By Criticism
ABC News reports:
Gov. Sarah Palin said she fears her First Amendment rights may be threatened by "attacks" from reporters who suggest she is engaging in a negative campaign against Barack Obama.
Palin told WMAL-AM that her criticism of Obama's associations, like those with 1960s radical Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, should not be considered negative attacks. Rather, for reporters or columnists to suggest that it is going negative may constitute an attack that threatens a candidate's free speech rights under the Constitution, Palin said.
"If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations," Palin told host Chris Plante, "then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media."
Salon's Glenn Greenwald explains why this argument is frighteningly wrong:
If anything, Palin has this exactly backwards, since one thing that the First Amendment does actually guarantee is a free press. Thus, when the press criticizes a political candidate and a Governor such as Palin, that is a classic example of First Amendment rights being exercised, not abridged.
This isn't only about profound ignorance regarding our basic liberties, though it is obviously that. Palin here is also giving voice here to the standard right-wing grievance instinct: that it's inherently unfair when they're criticized. And now, apparently, it's even unconstitutional.
According to Palin, what the Founders intended with the First Amendment was that political candidates for the most powerful offices in the country and Governors of states would be free to say whatever they want without being criticized in the newspapers. The First Amendment was meant to ensure that powerful political officials would not be "attacked" in the papers. It is even possible to imagine more breathaking ignorance from someone holding high office and running for even higher office?

This is kinda nuts
Take it from us: touch screens on mobile phones are just the foreplay for technology’s next big jumpoff. Yeah, fingering your smart phone is cool, but the full interactivity of holograms is already on deck. At Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Israel, Ivan Tihienko’s holographic PDA concept seems likely to one day eclipse today’s pocket-sized devices.
Through the use of a digital shadow, Tihenko’s design, called the Ringo, creates a radius of multi-colored arcs on the ground around you. At the wave of a hand, the user is equipped with a standard menu of date/time, GPS, and games like air hockey and chess. Unfortunately, we’re probably gonna have to wait a few years for the technology to catch up to the concept. See the demo video below…

Take me here.... NOW
Sure theres lots of goals to lay out for next year but at the top of my list is to take the family here (my wifes gonna love this post).. Le Meridien in Bora Bora.
2 trips Ive always wanted to take are one of those over the top safaris in Africa and this right here. I wanna stay in a hut over the ocean, where the only blackberries are a fruit. I wanna sip frozen girly drinks and fall asleep in a hammock. I realized a few years ago that Id much rather pile up experiences than "things" and this is one journal entry Im dying to write...

Dear Em
Please come back as soon as possible. Its getting rough out here. Hip Hop has become the equivalent of late 80's hair metal. Seriously whats the difference between Winger and Lil Mama? Acid washed jeans and Ed Hardy? Limo's with jacuzzis and, well, limos with jacuzzi's? How many more times do we have to listen to how rich rappers are? Sure some of hip hop is evolving and allowing new artists with a new take to slide through: The Knux, Wale and Charles Hamilton are some examples but DJ's that still wear Fubu sweatsuits arent gonna play them on the radio. Outside of those artists hip hop is stuck somewhere between baggy and skinny jeans, gangbanging and skateboarding, ringtone rap and your brothers rap.. its kind of like puberty with all the zits and awkwardness. The question is will it survive or will another genre rise up out of the ashes and represent an actual voice for the next generation... But for now, Em, just come back and remind us of what it was like before the curtains close.
McCain.. again, spreading unity...
These videos show up at every single McCain rally and shows the effect of their divisive tone. It brings out the worst in people. This is how McCain lost his soul. To remain a hero one must continue to act like one. There a lot of work to do to unravel the stuffed emotion of the country but electing Obama is step one. Ignorance is best beat with education and experience.

This is awesome! Fox: Fair and Balanced
I dont have a problem with Fox wanting to sleep with McCain, we all know MSNBC does the same with Obama. The issue is when they promote themselves as "Fair and Balanced" - I mean seriously..
This is your brain on drugs.
Just looking at this makes me wanna smoke pot. My assistant Jason is one of those freaks that can do the original rubix cube in less than 2.5 minutes (no joke.) Ima buy this for him and see how badass he really is.
The “21st Century Cube” hit the market in three different sizes: the V-Cube 5, 6, and 7.
On October 26th, the V-Cube’s first brain-busting competition was held in Germany.
