Friday after Thanksgiving

I made reservations at the Rock Bottom for 5:00pm (before the ceremony @ 6:30 on Friday).

I thought the kids would have more time to ice-skate that way.

Let me know if you can’t make it.

Love,
Grandpa

Sec Of State

Obama appears to be practicing the politics of status quo, not the politics of change.
Obama based his campaign on a commitment to change the culture of Washington and bring in new people, new ideas, and new ways of doing business. His transition committee looks like a reunion of the Clinton administration. Throughout the early debates, Obama criticized Hillary Clinton as part of the inside-the Beltway establishment that needed to go. But now he's reaching out to these exact same people. Some change.

Clinton Sec of state to be announced after thanksgiving--

did you see it coming? what are your feelings about this decision?

American Idle

I would have to agree that it has had an impact on music but not as significant as one might think. A few very good voices came out of it but without the show they would not have made it. I suppose that would be an argument for the show but talent has a way of breaking through without the help of 40 million or so people watching you. Bono has said U2 would never have made it today the way the music biz is run. Notice the horribly repetative radio stations? It is about money. Plain and simple. American Idol gets great ratings and "discovers" a star. The greatest musical talents of the last 2 generations did not have the luxury of American Idol. The music is what made them great, not a show. I have a feeling American Idol will fade away in a few years. I wont miss it.

An institution? Please!
The Grand Ole Opry, The Metropolitan Opera, and Carnegie Hall are institutions.
American Idol to these institutions are as Dan Quayle and Taylor Hicks are to John Kennedy.

Well I agree on this song----but I want you to admit that American Idol has had a HUGE impact on music over the past 8 years. Carrie is awesome----so is Kelly, and so is Jennifer Hudson. Not to mention all the other successes. David Cook, Daugherty, Kelly Pichler, Fantasia. It’s an institution.
