And vote NO ON 8!

If I had a dollar for every person I’ve met in LA who’s asked about coming surfing with Ben and me but hasn’t quite made it, I could afford to buy a house in my own neighborhood. So… this is your chance. Take a surfing lesson from a pro! Free lessons at Ocean Park in Santa Monica October 4, 11, 18, and 25. All you have to do is donate a minimum of $50 to Obama’s campaign. Do it! We’ll come cheer you on!

It’s a sad day in blogville. The Carpetbagger Report, one of my favorites and a mainstay on my daily blog stroll, is no longer. What with mainstream media being such a joke, The Carpetbagger has been of my more valuable sources of political and international news. The bright side is that Steve Benen, The Carpetbagger himself, hasn’t given up on blogging. He’s now the voice of The Washington Monthly’s blog Political Animal. It sounds as if much will stay the same…I’m just hoping his daily “mini-reports” and “campaign round-ups” make the move with him. It’d also be nice if he can talk the Washington Monthly into switching that layout a bit. It’s a little confined. If you never checked out The Carpetbagger, go give Steve a look at Political Animal.
