I played a lot of competitive sports growing up. I even played on the High School Basketball team. When I went to college,… well, Parsons was in the middle of Manhattan and didn’t even have a gymnasium let alone a team, but I continued to play competitive league basketball up until a few years ago when I had to concede that it’s a young persons game. (or maybe I already knew that and was conceding that I am no longer young) I still run but I only compete against myself.

I can’t help but think that if Reverend Wright were a “Clinton problem” he would be a hard man to find. Tonight Jeremiah Wright will sit for a nationally televised interview with Bill Moyers. That’s Change.

The Stone Pony has stood as the Mecca of the Jersey rock scene for decades. I burst with pride the first time my son Andrew and his band played there. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Bon Jovi, Southside Johnny, Cheap Trick, Joan Jett, Jefferson Starship, Elvis Costello, Peter Frampton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Russell Crowe, and Patti Smith are just a few of the acts that have graced the same stage of the famous Jersey club. A tribute was held last night at the Stone Pony for Danny Federici who was an original member of the E Street Band. Federici lost a battle with cancer this past Thursday, he was 58.

The first time I was eligible to vote in a presidential election was 1980. I voted for Jimmy Carter, who I thought was an honorable and decent man. I still do, but in hindsight, I have to concede that he was an ineffective leader/politician. I can’t believe dems are too pleased that he has injected himself into this years presidential election debate by talking to the democratically elected government/terrorist group, Hamas.
