I just booked a business traveler to Rawlins, WY, and this picture from a road trip in 2004 popped into my head. Told my traveler to watch out for the two-headed Cadillac; he’s not from the US so he got a kick out of my description. There’s not much out there but wind farms and bitter cold, this time of year.

Gingrich could sew up the Rational Right if he picks Huntsman, plus it throws a juicy bone to all the good people who’s feelings were “hart” over Robotney’s treatment by the religious Right.

My travel guru/buddy “Hey Dar” points out Delta is boasting that they screw up a lot on baggage, since the bags are supposed to be on your flight. In case you missed this news around the Thanksgiving holiday, Delta says it’s the first U.S. airline to add baggage tracking to its app for smart phones and mobile devices. Delta says its Delta mobile app now allows customers to track their checked luggage. The app currently is available for Android, Windows and and iPhone devices. Delta says it expects to have a BlackBerry version available in “early 2012.” The mobile-device app…

Kossack David Nir gets to consume e tasty beverage of his choice; his diary on Rep. Joe Walsh’s reported $3.5mil campaign fund windfall got quoted on Huffington Post. That’s not quite as prestigious as being cited in Time or The New York Times, but it’s a pretty good showing. Especially as HuffPo’s Meghan Neal quoted my favorite political turn of phrase of the current election cycle. The closest I ever got to seeing my Congressman was when I showed up at a “small business” forum held nearby. Took photos of all the media trucks and went home. Well done, Kossack!…

Roger Ebert gave a highly positive review of “Hugo” recently: “Hugo” is unlike any other film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and yet possibly the closest to his heart: a big-budget, family epic in 3-D, and in some ways, a mirror of his own life. We feel a great artist has been given command of the tools and resources he needs to make a movie about — movies. That he also makes it a fable that will be fascinating for (some, not all) children is a measure of what feeling went into it. via Hugo :: rogerebert.com :: Reviews Scorsese…

I had no idea that some of the original members of classic 60’s group The Zombies were playing together again, but I happened upon a repeat of the World Cafe show where they sang some songs from their new album, accompanied by piano. And then they sang their classic, it’s a rough version but live, live, live. Actually, there’s something about their voices that reminds me a lot of much more contemporary groups, they’ve still got a compelling sound. In today’s World Cafe session, Argent tells the story of his attempt to meet his idol, Elvis Presley, in 1965 by…

This paragraph contains everything you need to know about Deadbeat Dad Rep. Joe Walsh, with the exception of his unwavering support for the state of Israel, and his complete failure to work on anything of actual benefit to the district. The meeting was held in Chicago’s Wrigleyville neighborhood — far from any of the districts he had considered representing but closer to TV cameras. Walsh, a darling of the tea party movement, has been a controversial political figure. At town hall meetings, Walsh has sharply rebuked some questioners, and he remains involved in a court dispute with his former wife…
