I just got some “inside” information from one of my contacts at GM about their newest model and wanted to share it with you.

Seriously, this was an interesting article from discovery.com

Breaking News

Final Thoughts on Sarah Palin

I came across a fascinating article this evening by Erick Ericskon in RedState, the leading blog for right of center online activists. While this is not exactly my political publication of choice, it’s an interesting article.

Perhaps I should keep my mouth shut now, because I’m causing a few people to run for the hills for daring to voice my opinion that Sarah Palin is done with elected politics, though not necessarily politics altogether.

Nonetheless, here are more thoughts. [Read more...]

Ok…so here’s the deal…

About a week or two before our “Building a Brand in Digital Media…” breakfast (that included Amber Lee Ettinger a/k/a “The Obama Girl”) I had remembered that the Brooklyn Cyclones were honoring the 44th President  of the United States with a game where they would rename the team “The Barackln Cyclones” and among other things they would be giving out Barack Obama Bobblehead dolls and stuff like that….so I had a brainstorm…Call Ben Relles…the brains behind barelypolitical.com and ask what he thought of the idea…using the Cylcones game as  a way to cross promote the breakfast and at the same time, give Amber a chance to have some fun and give the Cyclones a bit more ammo for the game.
