OK, both Kate Bolduan and Alisyn Camerota are SO TOTALLY SMOKING RED HOT for a Saturday = a++++++++

In fact if SO TOTALLY SMOKING RED HOT for a Saturday = a++++++++ were a new Volvo cross country wagon (that's pretty smart) I'd enjoy getting inside and going for a ride everyday ...

But, hey, today they do BOTH look so HOT that I gotta FLIP BACK and FORTH so, you know what? = other factors come into play ...

Photobucket
Alisyn Camerota in green inbetween Dave & Clayton NOT from today though

Photobucket
Kate Bolduan 2010 in blue w/ John Roberts and NOT from today though

On one hand, there's Dave Briggs who is spewing intolerant rehtoric (like a catastrophic oil spill) this morn wanting to throw Kristen McMenamy and Steven Meisel in jail for the recent Italian Vogue shoot.

And, then there's T.J. who is ... well, cool and cutting edge with his thinking and honesty.

Now we come to Clayton. Gee, he seems like the type that instead of hanging out and seeking approval from the crowd he's on his laptop or iphone and, God forbid, he may read instead of watching sports - he's intelligent and sensitive. I don't know - he's different!

OK, B.P., U.S. Gov't and Media, ... before going and touting "good news" about the Gulf "oil spill" / DISASTER well, maybe it's not time to turn off the lights on this story and move on to more sensational softer safe stories?!?! ... Let us not forget that from the get-go 11 people died on this rig because of a gross negligence and recklessness and, yeah, and then major ripple effects on the local economies, ecosystems and, in general, ethics.
Aug 3rd 2010 100 and some days after this DISASTER you're trying to tout some kind of milestone and gain ? ... But what about all the loss that has happened from the get-go and continued to "spill on" ? ... loss of life = ranging from humans to aquatic (mammals, reptiles, amphibians) and even, well, blades of grass (important grass that acts as feeding grounds and, yeah, a natural barrier from the sea = kind of important in this fragile ecosystem of sea, wetlands, rivers and such that protects this special Gulf region)... loss of jobs, monies and abandoned pets = a way of life for summer 2010 and maybe more to come ...

"New Media Madness: An Everyday Art"

So, I am flirting with the idea of doing another e-book for mystrawhat.com which I will call =
"New Media Madness: An Everyday Art" .... .... ....
This e-book will include poetry, email write-ins and, of course, a Top Hottest Women of the New Everyday Media = featuring a top 100 listing of 2010 - 2011 .... .... ....


Bill Hemmer and the dynamic & engaging Juliet Huddy July 20, 2010 in Americas Newsroom FNC

However, then again, I just may quit poetry all together and focus on business only like Arthur Rimbaud (or, at least, not share my poetry any longer = as literary giant and noble professor Wallace Fowlie stated that I could not not be a poet as the way I perceive life is poetry) .... .... ....


Cheers.

Ed, we have been wathcing the HBO John Adams series religiously for the past week --- If you're interested in it will still be on HBO (on demand) for a while --- But, yeah, thought given you're interest in law you may find this as elating ...

I've been no stranger --- I grew up knowing exactly who John and Abigal were and did several papers at Marquette U. and PSU on both John and Abigal Adams.

      Thank You for All Your Support (Or At Least Reading)


      Thank you for all your support - those who have supported me with compliments, flattery and encouragement - those who have followed me in admiration or to mock me (at least to mock me you read me a bit and viewed my posts and gossiped about me).
      However I am now fueled by challanges and triumphs everyday that revolve around my real job as director of business development which I am thankful and grateful for = and truly love = and truly love what it's all about.
      I am a busy man. My grandmother Rose (both were Roses) always said "the devil makes work for idle hands."
      Therefore I will no longer be posting or writing in emails to media outlets.
      The mystrawhat.com project and The New Everyday Media projects have been fun and I think there was a lot of good there (even if misunderstood by some).
      I may post on FaceBook here and there but that will be more or less to say "hello" to friends.
      Thanks again.
      Sincerely, John

      Thank you for such a wonderful article.

      On our way home to Pittsburgh Saturday I stopped at a store to pee and saw Sen Byrd w/ his adorable doggie on the front page and I had to buy your paper.


      I was in Georgetown stayinyg at the Ritz Carlton = w/ a $200.00 strawhat, $450.0 Hugo Boss shades, vintage torn and frayed Levis (priceless) and tee shirts (one w/ Chief Seattle and his true and beautiful quote "we belong to the earth = earth does not belong to us") with a little big white fluffy Lhasa Apso around the Ritz Carlton Georgetwon. We must have been quite a site for the everyday person there ...

      OK, i envy life as like a rock star lives = of course i am not a rock star but i do try and play guitar everyday and write poetry and treat my dog like a child = oh yeah, my father is a big attorney = well respected and loved = Jimmy Carter was gonna stay at our house when he was president of the USA but my father arranged for him to stay at a client's instead = Mr. Abbott in Fox Chappel.

      The two of us walking along the riverfront park and looping back to Potomac Ave passed the PaperMill TownHouses (sigh = love those) and me carrying up the stairs and over the historic canal = Having espresso (per me) and bottled water for Parker Bean and just relaxing like we do in front of the Starbucks in the village we live in outside of Pittsburgh. Yeah, a Peroni, a diavolo pizza and bottled water for Parker Bean at il Canale outside in the shade = in the lobby at the Ritz Parker Bean under his momma's feet while she has a Hendrix Gin dry martini w/ cucumbers.

      As soon as I saw that front page pic of Sen Byrd w/ his adorable doggie named "Trouble" (he calls "Baby") on the front page and I had to buy your paper.

      Anna David: Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover


      This picture of Anna David was added to one of the FNC Red Eye Acitivity Pit groups overnight ... Reminding me of 1). how cool & hot Anna David is and is in person and 2). a nice little lessons learned anecdote she shared w/ me while interviewing her ... The story goes during the publication and publicity tours for her book Party Girl at a swanky Miami club in SouthBeach all kinds of people were offering her drinks and were like "Party Girl, we love you - lets party" = which turned out to be a bit of a bummer because OBVIOUSLY they did not read her book and furthermore did not do any homework on her and just like a cliche "judged a book by its cover" ... Which real quick because I gotta go!... reminds me of when I was an idealistic teen and some very conservative suit (which I kinda dressed like myself) saw a guy on a motorcycle and was like "look at that biker - how disguisting - the long hair, beard and ripped jeans" ... and I was like "how do you know? He could be a great guy. Why judge a book by its cover. Look at Jesus." ...

      While I was listening to Wake of the Flood and its Here Come Sunshine driving home from Starbucks w/ the NY Times for a Saturday the 12th day of June 2010 and it hit me that the sun is out in Arkansas where that *Big River "cried cried cried" --- And even in the wake of the flood for Katrina there was that "Here Comes Sunshine" feeling from "Wake of the Flood" ...

      However, this "new gulf war" ... This is far worse than Katrina ..This is far worse ... This spewing of oil like hatred based by the sword and man-made interpretations to kill infidels ...
      Oil. "Don't shit where you eat, my friends" -(as I was saying like pretty much as soon I was allowed to receive info about this devestating blow that killed 11 men)- as just an everyday grateful and thankful citizen of a FREE U.S.A. --- I knew it was an economical, ecological and ethical catastrophe more than disaster. (Nevertheless I didn't imagine such a "controlled" response making things a trillion times worse) ... But everyday I saw that adding and, well, you know some people can just "sense" things ... I guess "predictions" are more for mathematicians ...

      Wake of a flood from Mother Earth ... Yeah, here come sunshine ... Creation and destruction womb like life and death rebirth ... Wake of a Mother Nature flood gives back a thousand fold what it takes if you're awake enough to realize ...

      An oil "man made" flood = disaster.

      It takes.

      It doesn't give.

      And oil industry won't give enough and will have the will to figure out what more it can take from us - consumers - tax payers.

      So why not create something new for people of the gulf who deserve it --- those 30 thousand oil rigs in the gulf can easily be converted into platforms for wind energy ...
      Gee, that will also create new jobs (a ton) and new money into our economy and the world economy --- negating big oil and its relentless creation of a giant relentless culture dependent upon the delusional need for oil.

      I was lucky enough to be part of the soaring nineties and not only its refreshing cultural revolution but also an amazingly refreshing economic boom ... The Internet model. Providing platforms to deliver information and goods and services and content to people around the world from your basement.

      An unbelievable sensation ... A whole new industry and world and limitless opportunity and break from the old dinosaur ways of big business --- "Big Blue" --- big blue chips.

      And like a cranky old man dictator(s) all of a sudden the Internet model wasn't a real model and all of the hundreds of millions of dollars being exchanged over ideas and contracts written on napkins was once again redirected to more "concrete" business models like "Housing" and "Banking" and lending and that whole cycle --- like a delusional addiction to oil.

      So CNN, why do you think the Internet bubble busted?

      My Top 5 Civic Arena/Mellon Arena Memories in Pittsburgh: The Pens Last Regular Series Game at the Civic Arena/Mellon Arena

      1).
      Watching the reunion tour of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin March 25, 1995 with Pittsburgh's own Rusted Root (winning the coveted opening slot for several dates) from the Mario Lemieux and a family friend's box I gratefully scored --- watching on with my now wife (who I had gone on a handful of dates at the time) and some friends of ours --- Hearing Robert Plant tell us that he's been on tour with a lot of bands in his time and being on tour with Rusted Root for this time made him feel compelled to tell us just how lucky Pittsburgh is to have them.



      2).
      All the wonderful moments watching Mario Lemieux on the ice including his 600th goal and an amazing game where the Pens where down by two goals with a little more than one minute left on the clock and Luc Robitaille and Mario tied the game and won in overtime (my girl and friend "Fat Tuesday" wanted to leave but I convinced them to stay because I had a feeling).

      3).
      Sydney Crosby


      4).
      Attending the first Fresh Fest featuring RUN DMC, Whodini, Kurtis Blow and the Fat Boys in 1984 as one of the only 14 year old white boys in or out of the Civic Arena


      5).
      As an eleven and twelve year old sitting at the glass (pounding on the glass) of the Civic Arena wathcing Paul Baxter, Pat Price, Randy Carlyle, Mike Bullard, George Ferguson and Pierre LaRouche - and then "sneaking" down stairs and hanging out outside the locker room after the game with a good friend of the family (close to the Pittsburgh Penguins) looking on ... (and in the summers being taught by some of these guys at the Ken Schinkle School of Hockey - where Pat Price gave me a lot of one-on-one time I'll never forget).
