PRETTY INTO THIS VIDEO. JUST WAIT UNTIL IT GETS ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH.

HERE IS A MAP OF COUNTRIES THAT DO NOT USE THE METRIC SYSTEM. (ANSWER: USA, MYANMAR, AND LIBERIA)

OBAMA PROMISES PROGRESS. I SUGGEST HE STARTS HERE.

PEBBLE BEACH’S INFAMOUS ‘CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE’ KICKS OFF TOMORROW, AND WILL GO THROUGH THE WEEKEND. EACH YEAR, PEOPLE WITH THE MOST MONEY, AND THE NICEST CARS COME TO RAISE A LITTLE MONEY FOR CHARITY, AND HAVE SOME FUN. AT THE END OF THE WEEKEND THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.

JUST IN TIME FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN DENVER, AUGUST 25-28, THE FINE PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH MOVEON.ORG ALONG WITH OTHERS HAVE ARRANGED FOR AN OBAMA FOCUSED ART SHOW IN DENVER, AT MANIFEST HOPE GALLERY.

ON THIS DAY 27 YEARS AGO MTV AIRED THE FIRST MUSIC VIDEO ON TELEVISION. THIS VIDEO, AS MANY PEOPLE KNOW, WAS “VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR” BY THE BUGGLES.

MTV, ONCE HELD AS A LEADER IN MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, HAS TAKEN THE PATH OF MANY ROCKSTARS BEFORE IT, AND CHANGED THEIR STYLE TO A LEVEL SO UNENJOYABLE THAT EVEN DIE HARD FANS CANNOT BARE TO WATCH ONE MORE MINUTE.

BELOW IS TODAY’S MTV PROGRAMMING FOR THEIR 27TH BIRTHDAY. WOW.

NO CHANCE OF CALLING IT QUITS AND SECURING ANY KIND OF RESPECT LIKE THAT OF JIMI HENDRIX, JANIS JOPLIN, BRIAN JONES, JIM MORRISON OR KURT KOBAIN DID AT 27. I SUPPOSE THERE ARE 364 DAYS TO TURN IT AROUND, AND PULL THE PLUG. (FINGERS CROSSED) HERE’S HOPING.
