Groundhog Day January 19, 2007
Posted by Mark in : Freedom, Politics , add a commentThis year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the
Union address occur on the same day. As Air America
Radio pointed out, “It is an ironic juxtaposition of
events: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we
look to a creature of little intelligence for
prognostication while the other involves a
groundhog.”

John and Michelle Phillips
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk on a Winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin’ on such a Winter’s day
Stopped into a church I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know, the preacher liked the cold - he knows I’m gonna stay
California dreamin’ on such a Winter’s day
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk on a Winter’s day
If I didn’t tell her, I could leave today
California dreamin’ on such a Winter’s day

Posted by Mark in : Internet, Media Business , 1 comment so farIf you’ve worked in the TV industry, like I have, you will have heard of Shoot Magazine.

They have published a web edition for a few years. I went to the site yesterday. Click this link to see what I saw.
I guess even the big guys get slammed sometimes.
