Media Matters for America and Campaign for America’s Future released a special report, “The Progressive Majority: Why a Conservative America is a Myth,” documenting how the conventional wisdom that Americans are overwhelmingly conservative is fundamentally false. Through decades of public opinion data from nonpartisan sources, the report shows the majority of Americans hold progressive positions on a broad range of issues.

“This report shows that on issue after issue, most Americans agree with progressives and have for decades, despite what we hear from the media.” said David Brock, President and CEO of Media Matters. “The conventional wisdom advanced by the media — that the United States is becoming more and more conservative — has been debunked repeatedly by independent public polling, but that hasn’t stopped them from perpetuating this clearly flawed perception.”

Broadcast Music Inc is giving Willie Nelson an Icon Award. 

‘Nelson certainly fits the bill. Before he became a star in the ’70s, his songs were hits for Ray Price (“Night Life”), Patsy Cline (“Crazy”), Faron Young (“Hello Walls”), and Billy Walker (“Funny How Time Slips Away”)’….according to Yahoo!News

At age 74, Willie is still kickin’ it, having released an album this year, and 2 in 2006.  All I can say is ‘wow’.

Hello everybody. I’ve been in Boston these last few days and just back home at 5:30pm. Hope all is well here.

Beowulf is a computer-animated fantasy film based on the classic epic.  Angelina Jolie plays Grendel’s mother, a lizardy creature who is basically nude but painted gold over her entire (computer-animated) body.

I was really surprised that I felt that exposed,” she said at a press conference for the film. “There are certain moments where I felt actually shy – and called home, just to explain that the fun movie that I had done that was digital animation was, in fact, a little different than [what] we expected.”

The film, which uses animation over existing film footage, was a new experience for the film veteran.

We watched a show on DHC channel where Dr.Mehmet Oz visited ordinary Americans and made them toss food out, take up an exercise program, and eat healthier. As a rule, he used to annoy me, because almost everybody who goes on Oprah annoys me and my husband actually puts her show on to annoy me. Oz cited general guidelines about what the safe measurement for a male and female waist are. So we measured out waists and kind of sighed…..

The sad part is I do exercise… I walk and lift light weights.. tennis once a week in the summer.. a bit of hiking in the Fall. And I still need to lose weight…

While I was at work on Tuesday night the absolutely most fun thing happened. A gigantic pipe broke right near the new building. I happened to have my camera because I was there taking pictures of Halloween decorations. Somebody called and said,”You’re the supervisor go do something.” So I went out and asked the maintenance guys if they had called X and they said yeah we are waiting for X. I was a bit worried because the parking lot where patients and staff is adjacent to where the leak spurted up and had potential for problems if the water show went on for a long time, when I mentioned that they all looked at me as if it had never occurred to them. However, X arrived and it got taken care of.
