Anyone who knows me well enough is fully aware of my serious interest in all things educational, political, and downright sexy. Combine all of these into one package and you have Mike Rowe, host of Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs.
Today I was informed that I have received my 1:58 minutes of fame and recognition by Mike Rowe, in the form of a video that now appears on his website. It is under the category of Mike's Got Mail, where a little video box appears with that title. Along with Mike reading my letter and displaying the political campaign item I designed, produced and sent, he briefly acknowledges Woody Creek, albeit I have long since become an ex-patriated Woody Creature after sending the mail to Mike.
Patience has never been one of my virtues, but in this case, it was well worth the wait. Watch the video, get informed, become a political activist, and follow our lead. A new party is about to take formation, and it shall be known as the Poo Party. You can start by sporting the proper attire. Mike Rowe for President

I think the Roaring Fork Peace Coalition (RFPC) has finally tapped into the public psyche in a big way. Last Thursday’s showing of the Bill Moyer’s Journal episode on impeachment drew a full house of 46 people. They laughed, they cheered, they booed and afterward, they discussed our options; writing to our representatives and Nancy Pelosi, signing petitions and speaking to friends and family, especially the youth, who stand to inherit a severely diminished Bill of Rights if we do nothing to prevent it.

Swear to God the best thing I’ve seen on HBO since “The Sopranos” is “John from Cincinnati” from the people who brought “Deadwood” to life on HBO.
The amazing thing is that “John” actually replaced “The Sopranos” without missing a beat, with a wacked-out brilliance that is never less than super-cool, dude. Now I know I’m in the minority here—I know there’s not a chance in hell that Imperial Beach will somehow become as iconic as north Jersey. But what the hell: “John from Cincinnati” makes “The Sopranos” looks like a bake sale at the Catholic Church.

So okay there was this bee, see. He-she-it was a yellowjacket buzzing around the room when the Aspen Science Center's "Science and Media Summit" was meeting on the campus of the Aspen Institute.
I'm not supposed to talk about what is going down behind closed doors during the summit, but no one is going to stop me from talking about the bee. What happened to the bee is on the record until I'm told differently.

This week I read that the final episode of the acclaimed HBO series, Sopranos, had created a “controversy.”
“A controversy?” I thought. “How so? Does Tony whack his whiny little bitch of a son? Do they put Carmella in a pair of concrete boots and toss her into the Hudson?” Though curious, I did not read beyond the headline. I wanted to see this controversial final episode for myself.

Aspen has everything--right?
The mountains, the trails, the rivers beautiful. The blue skies, the Bellee, and the Games of X. The stars, the celebrities, the CEOs who eat the hoi polloi for lunch.
Aspen has everything, all right, except a reality television show to call its own.

Few things have me as outraged as the discussion about "race" as when someone can't experience what it mean simply because they don't live it.
First: "Race" is nothing more than a social construct, according to anthropologists. There are no distinct phylogenetic demographics, yet there are genetic markers seen and unseen. The problem with these markers are that there are so many; choosing hair and skin as the only ones of relevance out of millions is statistical idiocy.

Did Mel Gibson's despicable comments about Jewish people prevent movie goers from attending his last movie? Not much. Was his movie considered for academy award contention? Yes. Was there outrage? Yes, there was some, and rightfully so.

Don't forget the whole idea of the Aspen Institute to begin with was "the Aspen Ideas as the cross-fertilization of minds." Co-founder Walter Paepcke's idea of the Idea was to bring together the best noggins across all kinds of disciplines--including the arts--and allow them to hammer away.
The Aspen Ideas Festival is, of course, that very idea made manifest in a conference now steaming into its third year. But Aspen resident Ken Adelman, the former United Nations ambassador and noted neoconservative, has also taken the notion of cross-fertilization into his beloved realm of the arts.
