A throwback Monday song. By the skin of my London Fog. Themes include the dubious ratification of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START); 1984 Cold War movie classic, Red Dawn; and the the divergent views on the effectiveness of the treaty’s terms for America’s national security and missile defense. And, for all you nerdy, nerds […]

It Finally Happened
Couldn’t make the deadline. It’s 1:18 am and I’m furiously working on a song about the strategic arms reduction treaty (START), called Red Dawn. Can’t tell if it’s going to be any good. I do know that I can’t finish it. I’ve had another busy weekend and the words just aren’t connecting. I think […]
The Press Junket Series No. 4
The Week That Was. While typically the opposite is at risk, listening to this week’s song will actually make you visibly dumber. Do not listen while operating heavy machinery or even a digital wristwatch. The words in the song unfortunately reflect precisely on the views of this site, as juvenile as they may be. Performed […]
Field of Dreams
I was scrambling for the right topic late into the evening. A lot of stories are lingering from last week that already saw some coverage from this site. My own experience in the Middle East puts this matter squarely within the bailiwick of my emotions, if not my perspective. As in all matters, there […]
The Press Junket Series No. 3
Somber week, both personally and in the news. Sometimes we’re just trying to get through it. Stories include fiscal commission’s debt recommendations, cholera outbreak in Haiti, Elizabeth Smart testimony, and Conan’s return. Tweet and retweet this junk, if you get a second. There are still people in this world without rap news. Performed by ipoet. […]
For the DJs
This site is only possible due to the generosity of good friends willing to part with a little bit of fresh music for nothing but the love of shared creativity and a little bit of buzz. To playdough (harry krum), sivion, mozingo, dj manny, and pumpkinFoot, I am very grateful. It’s a strange experiment. The […]
The Indian O! – Myanmar Election Awareness Monday
Another crazy weekend. My daughter was sick and my mom broke her neck. Not a euphemism. Literally, broke a vertebrae. So I made a marathon run over to Knoxville, TN and then back today. About 6 hours round trip. Wrote a Myanmar rap on the way. Of course I did. Want to hear it? […]
Don’t Forget
The Thursday song came on Wednesday this week. The Election Special song replaced the weekly round up. So, you still got the promised two for the week. And, frankly, I feel lucky, and a good bit accomplished, to have gotten them done. Besides my trip to NH, I participated in a marathon on Saturday and my […]
Election Special Wednesday
Phew. Long flight home today. Time with the wife and kids. Some ESPN 30 for 30. Full election coverage late into the night. Then pounded out some less than perfect ipoetry. Themes include my coverage of the coverage, the blissful absurdity of the coverage, balance of power in the bicameral duplex (I think that’s redundant), […]
Friendly Skies
And getting friendlier. A cadre of delayed passengers almost killed the boarding pass handlers last night at Charlotte Douglas International’s C10 gate who had, only moments before, permitted the departing plane to taxi away, notwithstanding information that a companion flight had been substantially delayed. No one seemed particularly relieved that they might have instead just had […]
