55/45 - A 10 Poin Victory!

Dear Matt,

Thanks to you, we won a critically important victory tonight in Pennsylvania. It's a giant step forward that will transform the landscape of the presidential race. And it couldn't have happened without your generous support.

There will be much more to do beginning tomorrow. But tonight, let's just celebrate the fact that you and I are part of a remarkable community of people tough enough, passionate enough, and determined enough to win big when everything is on the line.

Thanks so much for all you do.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

"The Fight of You Life"

To the tune of Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes' classic 1997 Dirty Dancing theme, let me share with you A Clinton-Obama Love Song, from this morning's Day to Day on NPR.

Not George's Wars

But we might wish they were!

"As Ohio goes, so goes the Nation!"

Wins tonight in Rhode Island, Ohio and TEXAS!!!!!

And just like Jack, I'm rooting for Hillary.



Up next Wyoming, followed by Mississippi and then on to the next biggie, Pennsylvania on April 22nd!

If you haven't pledged your support yet, you can do so here.

Can Seeds Save The 4400?

Fans out to save USA's alien abductee drama The 4400 are hoping that a deluge of sunflower seeds will help bring back the show for a 5th season (much in the same way that nuts paved the way for the return of CBS' Jericho).

The good folks over at Save The 4400 are urging disgruntled fans to send letters and said seeds over to Bonnie Hammer at the USA Network all to arrive on February 1, 2008 for maximum impact. Click on over to the site to sign the petition and see what else you can do to save this unceremoniously-dumped Emmy-nominated show.

In the meantime Ms. Hammer's address is as follows:

Xmas, Day 6: Steroid Bust

It looks like Hidetada Yamagishi won't be entering the 2008 Ironman Pro and Arnold Classic after all.

On December 8th, upon arriving at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) from Tokyo's Narita Airport, Hide (34, 5'6", 200 or so lbs) was arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance. He is currently being held at the North County Correctional Facility in Saugus, CA on a $180,000 bond, with anupcoming court date of January 8, 2008 at the Los Angeles Municipal Court. Though it hasn't been disclosed exactly what he was in possession of, the boys on the boards are supposing it was steroids (huh? you think?).


Hide, the first pro Japanese bodybuilder to compete at the hallowed Mr. Olympia contest, was steadily rising in the pro ranks (including 3rd in Sacramento, 9th at the Atlantic City Pro and 7th at the Ironman) and had been gaining a lot of positive attention in 2007. How exactly his detention will effect (or is it affect) his bodybuilding career is yet to be seen, but much more importantly, what will become of his pending immigration status and will he ever even get a "get out of jail free" card?

Xmas, Day 5: 5 Naked Men!!!

Update: Gotta say I was pretty impressed with Janice's bawdy little update of the classic European Christmas carol. Taken from the 2006 holiday episode of Oxygen's The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, one of my guilty pleasures, I somehow only caught the episode this time around when my Tivo recorded it no less than five times (all on Christmass Eve I think).
