So Bristol Palin is going to write a book.
Here she is at an age when most young women of her age and social/economic class are attending classes in College, but is instead setting pen to paper to write up her amazing life story.

Like a lot of you, I watched Charlie Sheen's interviews with GMA and The Today Show and was really taken aback by his incredibly out of touch response to all of the questions, but there was something about him that really caught my interest. I couldn't help but think I had heard this same interview at some other time.

Mayor Daley's Legacy

Let me begin by saying that I'm not one of Richard M. Daley's biggest fans. My wife is a Chicago Public Schools teacher, and as such has been forced to work under a string of (what we shall politely call) knuckle-heads who have been tasked with running CPS over the years. Some have been better than others -- Paul Vallas comes to mind -- and others have been an absolute nightmare. So that's one of the things I'd say that Daley definitely fell down on the job at handling: Education.

Back in the seventies, just after Richard Nixon left office, Dr. Seuss did a Parody of his story, "Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!" which was published in his friend, Art Buchwald's column( http://www.washingtonpost.com/... ) in the Washington Post.

So today two Members of the United States Congress announced that they were leaving office. First there was New York Republican Congressman Chris Lee who got caught sending shirtless photos of himself to a woman who was not his wife. Isn't it refreshing to see a Politician giving someone the shirt off HIS back?

Last April YouTube held its first ever Partner's Meeting in Chicago at Google's headquarters in the Loop, and I was one of the fifty or so Partners who had been invited and who showed up. The meeting was mostly about advertising related issues; YouTube is very interested in its Partner's making money on the site, because we are in a revenue sharing arrangement with them. When we Partners make money, YouTube makes money. So its very much in the company's interest to see its Partners prosper.

If Diane Sawyer or Katie Couric suddenly stopped anchoring their broadcasts on ABC and CBS, people would probably take note of it and you'd probably see more than a few pieces written about it by Media writers and bloggers, as well as more than a few mentions on various network and cable news broadcasts. But here we are with more than 30 days gone by since the last column by the Queen of The New York Times was published back on Dec. 26th, and as far as I can tell, not a peep has been said or written about her disappearance.

Okay, first of all let me state for the record that the video down below is REALLY silly. Not a serious moment in it, so don't go looking for one. Its just my comedic homage to what may prove to be one of the most interesting State of the Union addresses in any of our lifetimes.

And all because a nutjob in Tucson took it into his head to shoot a United States Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords. How weird is that?

The video I've posted with my journal entry (which I co-wrote and directed) was done to illustrate a point. I recall when President Clinton first put DADT into effect back in the 90's, and the firestorm which ensued from the Right Wing about the mere thought of the US Military in any way, shape or form countenancing the mere thought of Gays and Lesbians being allowed to serve in uniform under any conditions.

Over time, they hammered out DADT, which left no one happy and cost President Clinton a great deal more political capital than it was worth, but over time things settled down until the events which transpired over the past weekend: the Senate voted to repeal DADT.
