The Daily News
1 John Kerry must be getting desperate. Yesterday I saw a picture of him, and it looked dead-on like Elmer Fudd. He must be courting the Hayseed contingency, which I understand is stuck firmly on a cartoon nail, atop a cartoon fence.
2 Dang.
3 Am I the only one who thinks that, if not for the Red Sox, yesterday's headline should have read, "The Fall of Castro"?
4 Argh! I just now, at like 10:17 p.m. noticed that I never submitted a public DN yesterday. That may sound strange, but it is last night that I am writing this, so sometimes I have to think all backwards.
3 This drives me mad. I often come home, unwind a little, then hop right on computer and get to gettin'.
4 I usually write a rough draft at night, and then awaken at around 5:30, and begin revising and editing, and really, try not to sound like a knucklehead. I also like keeping up with the Daily News, which is why this rag is entitled "The Daily News". If something happens in the morning, I don't want to be scooped.
5 So it drives me crazy when I forget publicly to get this out there.
6 Ah, poop.
7 Breaking News!! So I just received an e-mail from Zachary Cordero! He just wanted to tell me he missed me (and, I assume, all of you as well), and so I'll give out a big "howdy" to y'all from Zack.
8 Bob Geldof and Midge Ure (who?), recently talked with Coldplay, The Darkness, Robbie Williams, and Dido, to converge on a new single, due around Christmas. The spirit: Ethiopian famine relief. A good cause; always a good cause. Way back in 1985, such luminaries as Bono, Boy George,Phil Collins, and Sting put out a single entitled "Do They Know it's Christmas?", which raised nearly 9-and-a-half million dollars for that famine plagued country.
9 America naturally responded with a super/band, which included, among others, Al Jarreau, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, Diana Ross, Dianne Warwick, Hall and Oates, Harry Belafonte, Kim Carnes, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Ritchie, Paul Simon, and the Pointer Sisters. It was started by Belafonte, who confronted several others, and the rest is history. The entire campaign was entitled USA for Africa. One of the most amazing events in history, and Geldof is hard at work attempting to help once again, twenty years later.
9 It'll be interesting in these days of self-indulgence and non-political attention. Hopefully, it will trigger better awareness by young people of the world that surrounds us.
10 I've been told that I look like the mole in Wind-in-the-Willows right now, so I'm getting hints that it might just be time to turn in.
9 Okay, so the e-mails are coming in like Japanese aircraft, so I'd better vamoose. I don't need to get hit with a house.
10 Have a great weekend.
11 <poof>
peace.
