One of my many projects: Cool People

Have you checked out the Cool People Podcast yet?

In Episode 9, I got in deep with Chicago lawyer and foreign policy lecturer Shermin Kruse. We talked about the Tea Party, scandals that are and are not scandals, what the media isn’t telling you and how to fix it through art, music, love and connection.

No time for all that video? This interview is available as a podcast on iTunes or Stitcher or from CoolPeoplePodcast.com so you can hear it on the treadmill or take it on the subway to work. Check it out at CoolPeoplePodcast.com.

Congratulations to my American friends and readers

I caught a bit of the inauguration today. Five things:

1. I breathed a sigh of relief when it went off well (especially given some scary and relevant plot points from my crime novel, Higher Than Jesus.) This doesn’t mean all is peaceful. It suggests the Secret Service is awesome at their job. I guess when they do a preventive visit, it’s like the 60 Minutes camera crew showing up with the angry ghost of Mike Wallace for a surprise gotcha interview, times 1000. Wouldn’t it be fun to hear Ted Nugent’s interview with the Secret Service after his not-very-veiled threats last year? Given Mr. Nugent’s history with the draft, I’m betting he was privately apologetic in the extreme.

2. The president’s speech was at times pointed though it was also a call for unification. I especially liked “name-calling is not reasoned debate.” I don’t agree with US government policy on lots of things, but the alternative was not an alternative. Four more years! And Senator McConnell? Suck it up. The job is to serve the American people, not to try to delegitimize a democratically elected president to serve GOP avarice.

3. When Mr. Obama’s speech has more poetry and soaring rhetoric than the poet can deliver, dump that poet. The poets at the last two inaugurations gave Poetry a bad name: Overly long, uninspired and flat. I don’t think I’m alone in thinking it was egregious. He got a smattering of golf green applause and wow, were we relieved when Beyonce stepped up to wipe out any memory of the poetry.

4. It’s not supposed to be cool to like Joe Biden. We’re told he’s crass, crazy and a sleepy uncle. Forget it, Faux News. He’s likeable and the more vitriol heaped on him, the more we like him.

5. Michelle, if it doesn’t work out with Barry, I’m here for you. Sigh.

4/20 Fallout (not far out), peaceful protest, fighting back, fighting up front and fighting for your party. You were expecting the easy Beastie Boys joke, weren’t you? Low on jokes in this particular podcast. Lots of earnest entreaties instead: friendships are tested; spines must be grown; coin purses must be strapped on.
