Dateline: above the garage in Portsmouth RI, 13 September 2004
My kids always know to be careful around me on game days, because I can be a fairly tense person where the Packers are involved. I know, I know. Owens and McNabb looked awfully good yesterday, as did Culpepper and Moss. And we're playing the league's toughest front-7 on defense tonight--at their place (Carolina). The truth? Buddy, I can't handle the truth! I just know all is possible with an 0-0 record. So I'll grit my teeth and do my yelling from my hotel room tonight.
Speaking of holding on . . . PNM is clinging to 99th place on Amazon's hourly Top 100, as it has for the entire weekend. Tough little bugger. But thanks again to Brian Lamb and C-SPAN. The book has no business spending an entire 8 days in double-digit heaven on Amazon, this being about its 20th week in circulation. But it just goes to show, when I get access to the audience, I can move the book just fine.
Today's main offering is a nice review that appeared over the weekend in a local AZ paper. Spoke to the woman last week by phone. She had caught the C-SPAN and decided she had to do a review. This veteran TV news anchor was really struck by what I had to say about women in the PNM.
The C-SPAN broadcasts seem to be generating their own little media buzz. Got my first offer to go on talk radio in several weeks. Going to do one-hour with Alex Jones on Wednesday at 1pm EST. Just Googled him and didn't like what I saw: lotsa conspiracy stuff. So my appearance may be very brief if he starts spouting anything too oddball. Scheduled for an hour. Click here for affiliates.
Here's today's catch (and no, I won't blog the North Korean situation until I read something other than guesses and speculation):
•Preventive war isn't going away, just ask Russia
•Iraqis fighting for their right to market
•Nationalism versus Islamic radicalism: a false dichotomy
•Today's rather compelling yin-and-yang(-and-more-yang) on China
