Rain and the Drumbeat of Politics

After a postcard perfect weekend it is RAINING. We needed it.

I received a call from a Fox TV national crew last Thursday as I was pulling into Richmond to pick up my wife from art class. They were from out of town and wanted an interview to see if I was going to be Tom DeLay's GOP challenger.

Funny, but I havent' sent out a single press release and yet the media have been calling this year (I had to chase them in prior years).  They seemed keen on the upcoming meeting with former GOP Rep. Pete McCloskey set for this weekend.

Pete's "Revolt of the Elders" is designed to get rid of some of our corrupt (for lack of a better word) leaders, including DeLay. We'll see what happens but Fox wanted to know all about it.  Heck, we'll see. I'm not counting any chickens. But they did air the interview tonight on the Fox cable channel - and a couple people I know called and said it was great.

I wouldn't know. I don't have cable. LOL.

All I do know is that my new TV production company signed to do a story on a Gold Medal winner within three weeks of being established -- and Global American TV did its first commercial taping yesterday (for a group of concert bands) in Houston. My first camera operator was a professional videographer (a woman) who did a great job. Compared to legal work it was Fun!

Economy still sucks for most people I talk to. Collecting has been like pulling teeth (no, pulling teeth would be easier). I wonder if our government leaders with their guaranteed paychecks and lobbyist buddies shoving checks in their pockets have a real clue what it is really like for most Americans today, paying robber baron prices for gas and seeing jobs disappears over the border...? I doubt it.

I finally took time to get a haircut. I was beginning to look like the wild man from Borneo.  Ummmm. That's probably what my old poltical rival must think he's dealing with....it certainly has been raining on DeLay's parade (in the press). More later. LOL.
