9021-O-bama: Raking in the $
The nation's financials may be in a spiral, but cash is flowing into the Obama campaign faster than Marvin Hamlisch can play "Niagara"!
Yesterday, Obama declared how we are in "the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression."
Today he will host a dinner in Beverly Hills --- costing attendees $28,500 dollars each!
Hundreds of high rollers, including some of the biggest executives in film, television and music, will munch gourmet chow and hang out with the candidate.
Streisand will then sing at the five-star Beverly Wilshire, no doubt reviving the Depression-era standard "Happy Days Are Here Again" with new urgency.
Obama is set to break a single-day fundraising record of $9 million.
Tuesday's events in Tinseltown come after Obama racked up a record-breaking $66 million dollars in fundraising last month, beating his previous high mark of $55 million last winter.
"The fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are still very, very difficult times," rival McCain said, sunny-side up.
"Sen. McCain, what economy are you talking about?" smiled Obama. The nation's financials may be in a spiral, but cash is flowing into the Obama campaign faster than Marvin Hamlisch can play ... more -
Barbra Streisand to sing for Obama
Not in a sexy personal way, but at a fundraiser for the Democrat's presidential nominee, Mr Barack Obama.
The event, co-hosted, amongst others, by Dreamworks partners Steven Spielberg will be held in LA on September 16 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
The 700 seats are expected fetch at least $2,500.
I hope you get a party bag if seats cost that much... Not in a sexy personal way, but at a fundraiser for the Democrat's presidential nominee, Mr Barack Obama. ... more -

Military Tribute
I originally created this as a Memorial Day Tribute last year (2007), however it is always appropriate to celebrate the service of American service members.
The first 2:22 minutes is me giving some backround on Memorial Day and talking about my service and that of my fellow soliders. You can skip it, but I think I am kind of interesting.
Anyway, the video is one of my most viewed YouTube posts. Enjoy and let me know what you think. I originally created this as a Memorial Day Tribute last year (2007), however it is always appropriate to celebrate the service of Ame... more -
