(Community Matters) yikes, bluffing didn’t work out so well for Iraq or the rest of the world. Drudge:

(Community Matters) This woman was cited for trespassing on public property at the request of the McCain campaign. She poses a really great question at the end.

(Community Matters) Shameful really. And, it’s looking like a melt down. here

I certainly wouldn’t mind the Ways & Means Committee gavel passing. Have feared his old ways and ethics would bite Ds in the butt as well as block Congressional innovation and reform.

(Community Matters) Almost forgot to include this week. From 538:

Poblano discusses recent Washington polls and the inaugural Florida polls showing Obama with a slight lead, though his models suggest McCain +3. Earlier posts note Obama competitive in Montana and the Dakotas – for real. Heard the same from David Plouffe in a conference call yesterday. Finally, good reading on his designation of Tipping Points states – fodder for my PhD in Economics husband, but I prefer the conclusions in executive summary. here

(Community Matters) Plumbers beware in Michigan

(Community Matters) Of course I’d heard the controversy, but nothing I had read quoted the comments. Rev. Jesse Jackson:

Senator Barack been talking down to black people on this faith based . . . . I wanna cut his nuts off.”

(Community Matters) Karl Rove in a tutu, pumps, lipstick and a big ol’ steak around his neck, in the big house for defying the Congressional subpoena.

(Community Matters) Yesterday, IBM replaced the motherboard in my laptop. Unfortunately, that made it worse. Now dead until new motherboard tomorrow. Grrr

PeopleFund board over last night for light dinner and drinks, discussing organizational strategies and governance issues. Margo hung back and Michael then joined us. A super couple of hours visit. Though, M subsequently had a very hard night – http://www.squirrelsintheattic.info.

E&Y auditors, Care Communities’ Carol Johnson and Baker Bott’s Jordan Herman today. MM early am.

I want my computer back. Posted from my Blackberry

(Community Matters) Dr. Tom Gilligan from University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business appointed as the McCombs School of Business’ new dean. I’d been hearing from faculty that they’d been diluted in the search process and expected an outsider. New blood probably perfect at this time. George is leaving well financed departments with which Dean Gilligan should be able to build on successes.

(Community Matters) Be still my heart . . . .

hot long do I have to wait to call!?!

(Community Matters) Super meetings about two different plays yesterday. Steven, Christie, Natalie and I met to discuss Steven’s newest play, scheduling, theaters, production staff and budget. Good progress. Not ready to disclose.

Michael Mitchell, Katie Pearl and I met immediately after to discuss the production of his two pieces (Highway Home & Them) in one evening, Two Fountains. Will open 11/29 at Salvage Vanguard Theatre. Auditions scheduled for August. We need 5 actors.
