Happy Trails......
Hey Bloggers,
I have returned to bring you your semi-bi-weekly dose of feel good socialism.
But first, I'd like to say goodbye to the Tom Vilsack 2008 Presidential Campaign. Governor Vilsack announced last week he was no longer in the running for the Democratic nomination.
I do have to ask. If you drop out of the 2008 race in February of 2007, nearly a year before the first caucus or primary....were you ever really in the race?
Actually, the timing may be a bit surprising, but once Senators Clinton and Obama joined the race Governor Vilsack's slim chances became non-existent. So now the remaining nominees can jockey for position in the race to garner Vilsack's endorsement prior to the crucial Iowa caucus.
Am I crazy....I still like Bill Richardson before this whole thing is said and done.
Watched the Oscars the other night. I thought it was a pretty good show. Ellen DeGeneres was exponentially better than I thought she would be. The interpretive dance was....interpretive dance, but not intrusive on the show.
I didn't really understand the choir that made sound effects rather than sing. It was like seeing 100 Michael Winslows doing their thing as they simulated sounds of wind and car engines, all the while re-energizing the mouthfart movement.
As for the awards themselves, I feel good for Alan Arkin and really good for Martin Scorsese. I haven't seen Dreamgirls as yet, but I can't imagine Jennifer Hudson was better in her role than either of the ladies in Babel were in theirs, but Oscar always gets at least one wrong.
The best part of the night though was clearly the rising superstardom of Al Gore. I tell you this guy could announce his candidacy the night before the Democratic Convention and still walk away with the nomination, but I really do believe him when he says he is no longer in the business of being a candidate. But it pleases me to no end to seem Mr. Gore prove time and again that Americans made the proper choice in 2000 and the U.S. "Supreme" Court robbed this country of what might have been not just a good, but great Presidency to open the new century.
For those curious about my endeavor to read every book I own, but have never actually read...it is still progressing. I am currently plowing through the tome that is Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell while at work, and George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia while at home. It is my sincere hope to deliver my thoughts on those and a few other books at some point in the near future.
I do apologize for the length of time that passes between blogs, but the Lovely Brook and I do not have the internet in our apartment, and opportunities for blogging do not present themselves as often as I'd prefer.
Til next time bloggers.
