This site doesn’t do endorsements. Well, except of hair product and mythical creatures. I roundly support both. L’Oréal and unicorns, specifically. So the following is only a prediction and not an aspiration: Obama will lose. I believed a Romney victory was an effective impossibility until the last debate. In fact, I predicted an Obama victory.

Air Bubble Bursts
Nike dropped its endorsement deal with Lance Armstrong over the unrelenting charges, and what it deemed overwhelming evidence, of alleged doping. Thought I would repost the song I previously did concerning Lance’s demise and Neal Armstrong’s death. On the road, busy with a big work project. Something new soon, hopefully. Performed by ipoetlaureate. Music produced […]
Love Hurts
So we just switched from Directv to DISH to save some cash on our monthly television bill. I know. That’s like going to only one Tahoe to save on gas or drinking a diet soda at a Mongolian Barbeque to save on calories. Baby steps. Except if the baby couldn’t actually take any steps at […]
Below the Barometric Pressure (Live Blonging the Vice Presidential Debate)
I’m feeling pretty under the weather. Plus, I’m swamped with real work. Plus, my mother in law is in the next room. I wanted to live song blog the entire vice presidential debate but I didn’t feel much up to it. So, I freestyled (made up) one verse as I recorded, with the security portion […]
For Life
Jerry Sandusky was sentenced today. I’ve done a handful of Penn State related posts and songs over the last 18 months about it all. Mercifully, this might be the last. Our sentencing structure is so weird. He received a minimum of 30 years without possibility of parole with a maximum of 60 years. At his […]
Up Here
So, everyone likes bread, right? And, of course, everyone loves a good bike ride. Well what if you could combine the two? And make a bike out of bread. Camelot, right? It would be like a pillow made out of cheese. Omn nom nom nom nom. I would never leave bed. Or a fitted sheet […]

Live Blonging Verizon
I did a live song blogging event at Verizon today for their employee appreciation week. Verizon’s theme for the day was “Diversity Energizes.” We built a song together over the course of 6 sessions. As usual, we recorded a live bridge with the audience and I took relevant topics to freestyle the verses. Verse 1 […]
Imagining a Naked Crowd: Live Freestyling the Debate
There’s this saying that if you are nervous about public speaking you should picture the crowd naked. I think the idea is that you will be put at ease by the imagined foolishness of the unclothed audience compared to your relative and clothed normalcy. Depending on the quality of your imagination, however, it seems like […]
An Anniversary: Two Years of News Rap
Last year, at this time, I was limping to the finish. Today, I’m full stride. Everything is relative, of course. This isn’t Drudge. Or CNN. Or even this guy. So when I’m talking about success, I mean compared to no success at all. So a pretty low bar. But the last twelve months have been […]
