Remembering MLK

Almost a year ago I wrote in PRBlogNews:
Rough day? Put it in perspective. The day before he was assassinated Martin Luther King gave a speech in which you are certain he knows he will be killed shortly. You can see it in his eyes, hear it in his voice, he carries it in his body. […]

There was a different buzz to NY Video 2.0 at Webster Hall in Manhattan last Thursday - it was the buzz of money. Although there was a sparse showing when Yaron asked for VCs and financiers to raise their hands - they were engaged, it was real and the ‘money’ contingent is growing. Nothing sharpens your focus like […]

You’d think that if you were a web 2.0 god, tied to the hip forever with Robert Scoble, the reluctant ubiquitous uber blogger and uniquely awful videographer, you would stake your claim to the web by reserving the domain of your name - ShelIsrael.com  - like 10 years ago.

It’s almost like “March of the Demos” as one by one the big honchos - Kerry, Kennedy, Richardson - dive into the icy waters that bring the […]

I have never believed in the notion that the media is inherently liberal. Not while pasty white guys on Fox and Rush Limbaugh and crowd tap into huge audiences with liberal-bashing tirades that are more reality-show style entertainment than any measure of political discourse. The right wing has its own very effective media cabal that rivals anything The New York Times […]

The Governor of New York Disappears - ”Kristen” Goes Down, Resurfaces - The stunning fall and demise of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer occured in its entirety last week. You could not escape Spitzer and every unfolding minute revelation of his prostitution addiction in print, on TV, radio, or in casual conversation and now poof! he is […]

Kristen Revealed

So “Kristen” is Monica Lewinsky who was Donna Rice, who is every middle age man’s young girl fantasy. Kristen is 22 (that’s a young girl to me), or 26 years younger than Eliot the horny Gov.

While we wait for Governor Spitzer to cut his deal with the Feds before announcing his resignation, the State and the Lt. Governor are kept in the dark (there is a pun there, yes, since our new Governor is legally blind). The three Spitzer daughters, age 13, 15, 17, are the most tragic victims of this […]

Temeka Rachelle Lewis arranged for ”Kristen,” to meet Eliot Ness aka the Governor of New York. Kristen, the Governor is reminded, is “American, petite, very pretty brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds.” After the assignation at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C., according to government records, Lewis asked “Kristen” how she thought the appointment went, and […]
