GEN Wes Clark is criticizing John McCain’s war record on behalf of Barack Obama? Hey, Rhodes Scholar, that’s the LAST THING you want to do!!
Whoever these people are in the building next to my hotel, they have tons of paper piles, folders, stamps, and Rolodexes. Not very “green”!!
Watching a CNBC story about cheap food at Target and Wal-Mart. Only matter of time before they have gas and heating oil? Do they already?

Not only is everyone in the airport completely ignoring a sitting US Conressman filming and broadcasting live from an airport, he almost gets run over by a Continental buggy! So real, so interesting….
Just got off a long phonecon with Dad on the east coast; back to work over here in LA.
I totally Digg this: Congressman is filming himself live in an airport (http://is.gd/IiL) and no one pays any attention! :) DIgg it!!!

Virgin had free TED and Revision3 shows on the flight, very cool. PopSiren = awesome. TED = okay. DiggNation = slightly better than poor.
Breakfast at The Standard hotel / downtown LA. Fresh-squeezed watermellon juice. W Hotels, take note!
Went to BWI instead of IAD, then had the fastest and most expensive cab ride of my life to catch my flight. Now - In LA!!
You know an airline is hip when the guy taking your boarding pass greets you: “What’s up, boss?” - Go Virgin America!
Heading to Union Station en route to BWI and eventually LA. Need to buy some new headphones for the iPod, too. And read!!

I’d rather chill with pretty women in average clothes than average looking women in pretty clothes. This assumes anyone wants to hang out.
For some reason I feel compelled to follow @ImNewHere tho I don’t know her - Just seems like a “new thought leader” I didn’t know about.
