John McCain will be on Meet The Press for the zillionth time since he took a trashing in the elections.  Why? Can this guy be any more irrelevant?

Sunday Morning Open Thread

I’m not a David Gregory fan. Never liked the guy. But it appears that the smartest thing they’ve done over at NBC in the last while is having Rachel Maddow as a regular.   Every appearance by Maddow has been a ratings boost for the network with last week’s show drawing over 4 million viewers giving it first place among the Sunday talk shows.  There is no one on air at the moment who presents fact and opinion in as refreshing, articulate and clear a manner as Maddow.  She is everything a Glenn Beck is not.

Open thread. I’m off to the beach for an early morning walk.

On Me, Presidents and Wild Beasts

Posted by mario piperni On February - 15 - 2010

.

Spent the weekend up in Tampa with no access to the Internets.  Strange feeling being cut off from my blog for so long.  We drove up a stretch of I-75 known as Alligator Alley which cuts right through the Everglades.  The pic above is me right before I fought a couple of 20 foot gators with my bare hands. And why would I do that, you wonder?

‘Cause that’s the type of guy I am!

Happy President’s Day and hope you’re enjoying the Olympics.  Open thread.

Taking part in a 5 or 15K walk (not sure which) this morning to raise funds and awareness for the homeless.  I’m planning on completing the walk but I will be slipping a paperback into my backpack in the event we pass a Starbucks at the 3.5K mark and the caffeine urge kicks in.  I’m weak that way.

Happy Saturday.

Travel day so I’ll be spending a good part of the day in the air.  Airports are my least favorite places.

I’ll try to post along the way if I can.  Have a great Monday.

Contest: Win A Popart Portrait Of You

Posted by mario piperni On January - 3 - 2010

Woke up this morning with a headache and an amazingly deep thought, well a question actually: when your broom tells you it no longer wishes to be your broom, what’s it really trying to tell you?

I need to know. Best response in the comment section gets an original Andy Warhol type portrait of themselves or a loved one done by me  (see Deborah). Really.

Birdmen

I think this is amazing stuff and if not for the minor fact that I am a chicken and not yet ready to die, I’d definitely give it a try.

Santa’s Open Thread

Posted by mario piperni On December - 26 - 2009

Socks, two beautiful shirts, perfectly fitting jeans, a bunch of little thingys, smiles, lots of love, the joy of a 5-year-old who hit the Santa jackpot and missing someone who was a million miles away.  All of that and a small laminated poster of Bogie imprinted with the famous words from the greatest film ever. That was my sweet Christmas morning.
