It’s a great book and I was happy to see you listed. I may be looking your way to help with the MartyBLOGs “big picture” at some point.

After Iowa, all of her Hollywood funding dried up, and whether or not she rebounds, Hollywood won’t be back.

You know on paper, Hollywood pretends to be liberal Democrats, but the old boys club—the Jack Nicholsons and the Warren Beattys……they’re really good-old-boys at heart. They’re not really keen on a woman running things. They might talk a good game, and pretend to be “feminist”…..but you don’t see a woman in charge of a major studio. Hollywood is still very much a man’s game, no matter how much they all claim to be “feminists”.

And, Bill was their guy, he was the real Man’s Man who caroused and fooled around etc….

Hillary might be a Democrat, but she’s not really one of them; and, in my opinion—they were just waiting for a reason to withdraw support. She ain’t Bill; she ain’t one of the good-time boys.

And, right now, winner or not, she’s scrambling for money. I’m sure she thought she could piggy-back off of Bill’s Hollywood friends. Apparently, that’s not how it is. Winning means nothing if you don’t have the money to keep going.

She’s known for months that there were going to be Caucuses on the Las Vegas Strip. And she was fine with it. She only had a problem with it once she lost the Iowa Caucuses, and lost the endorsement of the Culinary Union.

And so, there can only be Caucuses on the Strip, if she’s guaranteed a win.

Shades of 2000′s —–let’s count the votes, but only till the person I like wins, and if I don’t like who’s winning, we stop counting !

My wife has started another semester studying for a BA in Mathematics (GPA 3.5/4.0).

Our son just turned two and tonight managed to toss a toy car onto the dinner table – with surprising velocity. He will be car-less for the rest of the evening.

I am still teaching middle school and high school mathematics and science at a private school.

Can a blogger really have voiceless days? Hope you get back to speaking soon.

My daughter has a last minute dance performance coming up so they’re in rehearsal. She also has a few private lessons to prepare for a scholarship competition. That means about 18 hours of ballet a week through Feb 9th. Yes, her feet hurt. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the performance doesn’t conflict with a choir performance.

My son’s Winter Percussion is picking up the pace too, they’re in rehearsal 6 hours a week. He received Rock Band for his birthday last week, everyone is having a great time playing it.

Our eldest is still looking for a job. His compassionate (Not!) employer fired him 3 weeks before Christmas. He has some good prospects that he’s waiting to hear back from.

Besides that, I’m trying to do a bunch of “spring cleaning”. After all, who feels like indoor chores in the spring when it’s so nice outside?

Good luck finding your voice La Shawn!

LaShawn Barber has lost her voice, but not her keyboard! Michelle Malkin will be on The Big Story at around 5:15pm Eastern to yak (her word) about politics…Bloggers can’t stop typing about the new Macbook AIR! In the HOTseat: Ms. Magazine , for ref…

My audition to make it past the first round was last night. I think I literally lost my voice for a few notes during the song (I did Marvin Gaye’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”). Why they are holding a singing competition in the dead of winter, I have no idea…

Hope you’re well!

Now that sounds interesting, Jay. – Admin

I’m still trying to get to the UK for as long as possible on as little money as possible. Fingers crossed!

My mom and I are starting on Loop 3 of our trip around the country in her RV. We’ll be seeing a bit of the South, then meeting at a friend’s daughter’s house in Sarasota, and 7 of us will go on a Caribbean cruise together. After the cruise, my mom and I will come back home, and our trip will be over. Then it will be back to normal life again.

All the best on your Voice Quest…
