Clearing the Browser Tabs – Sarah’s Out Thursday Edition Posted: 06 Oct 2011 03:10 AM PDT Sarah Palin is officially not running for President. She made the announcement on Mark Levin’s radio show last night and gave a few broad hints about what she might do instead. I’m not particularly torn up about her decision. For months I’ve said that I wasn’t entirely sure she would run and I’ve never been particularly high on her as a Presidential candidate. However, I am very high on her ability to push conservative principles farther into the nooks and crannies of government. She is very good at pushing an issue into public view and she would do a considerable amount of good if she continued to do that with more vigor. The one person who must be cursing Palin’s name right now is Nicole Wallace, the political consultant who worked on the McCain campaign who very loudly trashed Palin shortly after the election. Wallace recently released a new book wherein she continued her strategy of riding Palin’s coattails to a level of fame she could never achieve on her own. Now that Palin is ducking into the background a bit, Wallace’s book won’t make the best-seller list, which just makes me all sorts of sad. Wait, no. Happy. It makes me all sorts of happy. Because Nicole Wallace is a bottom-feeder whose book is already being shredded as a collection of fantasies. If I had my way, she’d never work in politics again. She’s untrustworthy. And now, links! Herman Cain: If you’re not rich, it’s your own fault! If you were famous, and made a special trip to read a book to school children, and you knew that your appearance there would draw the attention of the press, would you read a book about…you? Oh how the Tea Parties drive progressives to spittle-flecked insanity. The economy is about to crater, says The Ben Bernanke, but he’s ready to save the day! Well, forgive me if I don’t exactly take him at his word on either point. So let’s say you raised cows. I bet you think you have a right to drink the milk you get from those cows. According to this judge in Wisconsin, you do not. I say the people of Wisconsin, left and right, need to impeach this totalitarian stooge so quickly his exit from office creates a sonic boom. Chicago is not a little bit corrupt; it is the gold standard of corruption. That’s worth remembering when you hear more about SolyndraScam, Operation Fast and Furious, and the New Black Panther Party. It’s about time the White House sent three very good trade agreements (Colombia, South Korea, and Panama) to Congress. We have to be more aggressive about tacking down trade agreements with countries like these that are becoming more open and more dynamic. If we do not, I guarantee you that China and Russia will. I really like this video sent out by the NHL’s head disciplinarian on what a good “hit” looks like. Players need clear guidelines not only what what is bad but also for what is good. By the way, hockey begins tonight! Marizela has been missing for seven months now. Remain vigilant, my friends in the greater Seattle area.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs — Visionary, Genius, Maker of Lovely Things that Work Well Posted: 05 Oct 2011 05:01 PM PDT This is big news that just came across my Twitter feed. He was 56 years old. BREAKING: Apple says Steve Jobs has died.Wed Oct 05 23:36:26 via CoTweetThe Associated Press AP He had been battling pancreatic cancer for several months at least and was not doing well when he stepped down as CEO of Apple. Yesterday’s big announcement at Apple HQ was the first time in a long time the company had one that didn’t feature Jobs. I can’t think of anyone in the world of business, with the possible exception of Bill Gates, who was more revolutionary or more controversial. He was a man of exceptional vision, a brilliant marketer, and one of the shrewdest business minds the world has ever seen. His legacy will live for decades, if not longer, as it should. It would be a very good thing is we saw more detailed stories about his life and work over the next few weeks. For example, did you know that Jobs was adopted, that he also founded Pixar Animation Studios, or that his salary at Apple was $1 last year and has been that way since 1998? We need more of his kind these days. Take a few minutes and listen to the commencement speech he gave at Stanford University in 2005. I think every entrepreneur should keep this speech bookmarked for the times when quitting seems like a pretty good option. Here, by the way, is the back cover of the October 1974 Whole Earth Catalog (this edition actually called the Whole Earth Epilog) that Jobs mentioned in that speech. UPDATE: This is a marvelous post by Michelle Malkin on Steve Jobs and the “spontaneous order of capitalism”.

The Delivery Presents – I Juggle Better than The President Posted: 05 Oct 2011 02:15 PM PDT In every broadcaster’s life, there comes a show when the goofiness simply bursts forth in an irrepressible fount. Episode 114 was that show for me. I hope you enjoy it, because I had a great time recording it. For the record, I really did juggle a couple baseballs, which was not easy considering I don’t exactly have a lot of room to move in my palatial broadcasting suite. Now, if you were among the Deliverati in the show’s live chatroom, you’d know that. If you weren’t, why not write next week’s show into your schedule now? Oddly enough, the post title sums up the show perfectly. There is a lot of corruption going on in Washington right now, on a scale we’ve never seen before in this country. Usually, the sort of corruption that leaves over 200 people dead and filters a few hundred millions dollars to cronies is what you get in African or Latin American countries. Well, it’s here now, thanks to SolyndraScam and Operation Fast and Furious. The second half is all about the entertainment, specially why entertainment needs to be a vital part of your social media repertoire. Did you know you have a social media repertoire? You do.
