NewsChannel 8 Video Interview
Check it out, not a bad spot for opening night. Kudos to our local news channel for starting a business news show. I was flattered to be on the show.
RIP Ron Asheton
I was fortunate enough to see the Stooges several times as a young man growing up in NYC and Boston. Iggy Pop was a rock god - a performer like no one had ever seen before - and his band was tight and supportive. They were loud and ugly and cool and as an audience member, you had to be afraid. At one of the shows I attended, Iggy had a jar of peanut butter and spread it all over his body as he sang. He then took a glass, slammed it into the floor and then jumped in the pool of glass.
He stood up, bloody and smiling, and said, ”I am willing to bleed for my art. What are you willing to do?” Is that a rock and roll ethos or what?
Ron Asheton will be missed as being a part of a band that was one of a kind and indescribable. I saw them with my own two eyes. They were certainly unique and Ron could play. RIP Ron.
CNBC Needs to Fire This Newsman Today
They got the story wrong.
Then they showed no human empathy. Steve Jobs just had pancreatic cancer. He disclosed a related illness and CNBC tried to “make a funny.”
Apple is a world class company. Steve Jobs is a historic figure but he is also a husband and a dad and a friend to many.
This is yet another example of why MSM has no shame. There was no need for this display of lack of respect and human dignity.

Drive Carefully and Wear Red Tonight
This should be a fun hockey game, a game between two very talented teams and a game that - I hope – is played in a playoff-like atmosphere.
I don’t need to talk too much about it. Both teams will be ready. The arena will be rocking. We need you to wear red and make it a Red Out please.
Go Caps! See you all at the Verizon Center.
Thank You Caps Fans
This is so great. Thank you so much. Check it out.
Washington Business Tonight
NewsChannel 8 is debuting a new show that focuses on local business and business leaders and personalities. I get to be the lucky exec that goes first so tune in at 7:00 pm tonight as I am grilled by Rebecca Cooper, of ABC 7, for this new daily news show.
I think my segment is in two ten minute chunks. Wish me luck.
He Always Walks and He Always Travels with the Ball
Kudos to the refs for having the gumption to make the right call.
Superstars always get away with a lot but this call helped the Wizards to seal a well-deserved home victory. Kudos for a terrific performance.
