The best Funkadelic video ever
The best Funkadelic video ever. Guitar player Gary Shider, who died this year, sings this one (if you've ever seen P Funk, he's the guy who wears the diaper).I've seen them play twice...once with Gary, once without. Lots of great Manhattan scenes in this video...

The Lost Painting by Jack Brummet
This is a lost painting I did about ten years ago. . .lost in the sense that I don't know who owns it. I have been scanning slides and old photos, and ran into a photo someone took that has this part of the painting in the photo. All I remember about it is that it is done with pen and acrylic on canvas and that it was 2 x 3 feet.

Polls show Charlie Sheen beating Sarah Palin and Barack Obama
By Pablo Fanque

Illustrations by Jack Brummet, Photo (c) charliesheen.com
A new poll by PublicPolicyPolling.blogspot.com shows that in a head to head run for President, independent voters would favor Charlie Sheen over Ex-Governor Sarah Palin for President by a 41/36 margin. Democrats would support him 44-24 and Republican/Tea Party voters prefer Sheen over President BHO by a 37-28. But then, they would probably also prefer Idi Amin or Field Marshall Goering over BHO too....
And it's more than just fruitcake independents supporting the warlock. Democrats would support him by a 44-24 margin for president over Palin and Republicans would support him 37-28 over Obama.

A great video by Joel Edwards of scenic Seattle
The Emerald City - A Scenic Short Film
This is probably one of the reasons I moved back to Seattle twice, from some pretty stiff competition--NYC and San Francisco.
by Joel Edwards
"Last year I went to Seattle to shoot a commercial spot with the Deadliest Catch Captains. Seattle is one of my favorite spots in the U.S.A. - so I booked a few extra days and drove around the area shooting B-Roll for a few days. " - Shot on Panasonic HPX 300 - AVCI-100

SoS Hillary Clinton will not remain in office if Obama is re-elected
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor
Illustration by Jack Brummet
In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that she would complete her term as SoS, but would not serve again should The President be re-elected. She also told Blitzer she would not run for either Vice-President or President.
Fascinating. I think if she wanted to make a run for President, she could probably come as close as last time. And if Obama for some reason does not run, it seems like she would be the front runner, and would end up #Winning! And, on top of that, I think she's been a very good Secretary of State.

A spooky herd of charlatans, pinheads, and miscreants: The 2012 Democratic and Republican/Tea Party Presidential Candidates
By Jack Brummet, Presidents Editor
with research by Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor
On Tuesday, November 6, 2012, we go to the polls (a misnomer now) for the 57th quadrennial presidential election. About all that seems certain to us is that of the real candidates, Barack Obama, Newt Gingrich, and Mitt Romney will be running. [ed's note: you might take this with a few grains of salt--All This Is That completely blew our calls on both the 2004 and 2008 elections]. As far as we know, only Randall Terry, the pro-life activist/founder of Operation Rescue from New York, who jumped from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party [ed's note: why?] has actually announced.
We want to put up a list we can revisit once a month or so to keep track of the prospects.
The following people have sworn they will not run:

We want to put up a list we can revisit once a month or so to keep track of the prospects.
The following people have sworn they will not run:
- Representative Dennis Kucinich of Ohio
- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York
- Former Governor Howard Dean of Vermont
- Former Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin
- Former U.S. Senate Nominee Sharron Angle of Nevada: "bottom line, no."
- Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts: Says that he is running for re-election to the Senate.
- Former Governor Jeb Bush of Florida: he was asked whether the door remained closed on a run. "Yes", was his reply.
- Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey: Has many times rejected the idea of running for president, saying he has no desire to run and has more power to get things done as governor of New Jersey. "short of suicide, I don't really know what I'd have to do to convince you people that I'm not running." But then, last week, he said he could win if he DID run. In any case, give him props for the best denial.
- Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee: "absolutely not".
- Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina: Told CNN "No, I am not."
- Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana: "I'm not being coy at all. I'm not running for president in 2012. Period. No ifs, ands or buts, no caveats." He says he wants to run for a second term as governor.
- Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia: "I'm not running for anything. I'm thrilled to be governor of Virginia."
- Businessman Carl Paladino of New York: Said he is not running for president.
- Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky: A spokesman said "I can promise you that he is not running for anything."
- Representative Mike Pence of Indiana: Says he will not run, but expressed interest in the governorship of Indiana, saying that his "calling is closer to home."
- Governor Rick Perry of Texas: Has said "I don't want to be president of the United States. I'm not going to run for the presidency of the United States."
- General David Petraeus of New York: "I thought I'd said no about as many ways as I could. I really do mean no... I've tried Shermanesque responses... I've tried quoting the country song, 'What Part of No Don't You Understand?'... I feel very privileged to be able to serve our country. I'm honored to continue to do that as long as I can contribute, but I will not, ever, run for political office, I can assure you. And again, we have said that repeatedly and I'm hoping that people realize at a certain point you say it so many times that you could never flip, and start your career by flip-flopping into it."
- Senator Marco Rubio of Florida: "I wanted to be a U.S. senator, not a vice presidential candidate, not a presidential candidate".
- Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin: Said in an interview, "I'll give you as Shermanesque a quote as I can: I am not going to run for president. I'm just not going to do it. My head's not that big, and my kids are too small."
- Senator John Thune of South Dakota: On his official website, Thune stated: "I have received encouragement from family, friends, colleagues, and supporters from across South Dakota and the country to run for the presidency of the United States... at this time, I feel that I am best positioned to fight for America’s future here in the trenches of the United States Senate."
