Cross Country Scooter Run

Yes, a group of interpid scooter riders are, at this moment, riding across the United States. You can read all about their thrills and spills on Pistol Pete's blog.

Brian Wilson @ The Hollywood Bowl with the L.A. Phil

Heather and I rode our bikes to the Hollywood Bowl tonight to see Brian Wilson perform with the L.A. Philharmonic. It was a great show. 45+ years after the Beach Boys first started making music, Wilson is still inspired to create. Not a bad run at all.

Why has McCain refused to released his medical records?

John McCain has had every form of skin cancer. He's the oldest presidential candidate. No one knows his true medical health status. He keeps getting procedures done. Why are we talking about lipstick and not this? Why did his campaign give reporters 3 hours in a room with an edited version of his medical records with no way to document their findings? Why isn't this front page material? Why is the Obama campaign not airing ads about this?

Hey Charlie, lissen up. Rob Caldwell's gonna show you how it's done.

Watch as John McCain gets served by Portland's finest.


Charlie Gibson was okay today with Palin, but this reporter from Portland, Maine could give Charlie a lesson or 2 on how to interview public servants running for office.

Who is this brave patriot with balls the size of watermelons, not afraid of McCain's "forcefield of protection?" None other than Rob Caldwell.

Rob has lived in Maine since the day before Elvis died. After graduating from Williams College, he started at NEWS CENTER in 1982 and has covered everything from presidential candidates to professional wrestlers. Read Rob's blog!

Rob has made his career in journalism exclusively in Maine. Rob has received awards for journalism from the Maine Association of Broadcasters and from the Associated Press.

Rob is originally from Simsbury, Connecticuit.

Oh Snap is right! OUCH! Wow, McCain looked brusied after that interview. You can almost see is lower lip trembling in anger at the conclusion of the interview. He could barely say thank you. Gee, thanks Rob for handing me my credibility and integrity on a silver platter.

Go Get Em Rob!

This weekend: Mind Body & Beyond Expo at LA Convention Center

Yoga in a convention hall, how utterly transcendental!

At the checkout of Whole Foods, I picked up free passes to this weekend's Mind Body & Beyond Expo at The L.A. Convention Center. We might check it out if we have time. You can sign up for free admission at their website: http://mbbexpo.com/

I just saw a friend of mine in their promo video!

Given how free it is, I'm getting more skeptical about it. 100 exhibitors sounds like a lot, but on second thought, am I just going to see all the over priced gimmiky products on the shelves of Whole Foods? And Saturn is their car sponsor? Yawn.

Probably not gonna go on second thought. If you do, let me know what you think. I'll be outside enjoying the sunshine!

The 1100-Odd Emails Sarah Palin Won't Release (PDF)

The Palin administration won't release hundreds of emails from her office, claiming they cover confidential policy matters. Then why do the subject lines refer to a political foe, a journalist, and non-policy topics?
