Uh Oh: Sundance and Inauguration, Same Weekend

Attention Hollywood Marketing Machine: The biggest coming attraction in Park City this January is "A Schedule Conflict".
You see Hopey's presidential inauguration, and its surrounding festivities, falls on the same big opening weekend of Sundance and its parties, gifting suites, and concerts.

The smart money (whatever is left of it) is predicting "Sundance on the Potomac" this January.

Has the Sundance swagfest clusterf*ck doomsday clock just moved a few minutes closer to midnight?

Tipsters: Inside Barack Obama's 47th Birthday

Today: A rare east coast party report...must be politics

Exclusive photos and items sent in by two special tipsters inside Barack Obama's birthday party in Boston last night. (Mon 4 Aug). Candy (Dana Hall '65, Mt. Vernon '69) and Stanley Glazer (Granby High - VA '63, Medical College Virginia '68) filed this cross continental party report.

"We had a truly unique experience....we also caught up with a friend of ours, Eric Lesser, who sits behind Obama on the plane and is responsible for making certain Obama has his speeches in hand before every event."

Harry Connick Jr. (Jesuit H.S. '85 - New Orleans) sang a "Happy Birthday" duet with his daughter Sara.

On this night, Obama had only cake in his hand. He told assembled friends hadn't been back in the State Room at Faneuil Hall since the night he lost to Hillary in New Hampshire back in January.

We have NO Friends in High Places

Amidst the excitement of Obamania last night (Tues 3 June), TheCHIMP.net sadly reports the defeat of a Deerfield candidate.

Kate Whitman (Deerfield ’95, Wellesly ’99) sought aU.S. Congress seat repping NJ’s 7^th Congressional District. (Springfield, Edison, Union Township), her second campaign in a year. We trust Kate will eventually follow her ex-governor mom in to New Jersey public life sporting a red jersey.

From Wonkette (Monday, 18 Feb 2008):

How the hell is Mike Huckabee doing these days? Well, he’s thirsty, and he’s still running for President of Jesus, and to finance both of these things he delivered a paid speech in the Cayman Islands — where the Fat Cats hide their money — this weekend. Wonkette operative “Mikey G.” happened to spot Huckabee at....

Whitman '08

Edwards? Obama? or Hillary? We're supporting Whitman.

Kate Whitman (Deerfield ’95, Wellesly ’99) is running for U.S. Congress from NJ’s 7^th Congressional District. (Springfield, Edison, Union Township), her second campaign in a year. Kate follows her ex-governor mom in to New Jersey public life sporting a red jersey.

"I bring a fresh perspective,” she said. “I think politics as usual is the last thing New Jersey voters want. Not having elected experience is not such a bad thing."

According to a political website, Kate raised $200,000 in the last 5 weeks of 2007 alone. You can give up to $2300 here, and support Deerfield candidates.

Save the Music

Showing leadership equal to Captain Jack Sparrow, Tom Tancred successfully produced a rapid-response public campaign: “Save the Karaoke Booze Cruise”. You may recall this kitsch-niche of LA nightlife operating out of Marina Del Rey as the "Lake Pallenpaupak Princess" from NBC’s “The Office”.Tom (Governor Livingston H.S. (NJ) ’97, Emerson ’02, VH1’s “Man Band” ‘current) showed his Sharpton to effect meaningful change. Campaign Manager Maggie Jaynes (Emerson ’02, Fox Animation ‘current) drank doubles in honor of the “stay of execution cruise” that sailed Thursday, July 26.

The call to action reached the ears of the celebu-sphere. Network star Golden Brooks (Berkeley, Sarah Lawrence Masters, WB’s “Girlfriends” ‘current) supported via song and dance.

The Best Saturday Afternoon Promoter

So three months after the electoral thumpin', the campaign enthusiasm of even the most die-hard Bush-haters could use some Viagra. It's kinda like asking Eli Manning if he can "do it again" before they have even left the field. Yesterday (Sat 2.3) there were elections in Massachusetts to send delegates to the state convention.

Nobody showed up in any city except Longmeadow. Everywhere else, fewer voters showed up than even the positions available..except in the ironclad tyrannical political empire of Candy Glazer (Dana Hall '65, Crestview Country Club '07) where all warm bodies within 30 miles are subpoenaed in a community house basement on a cold snowy Saturday because she says so.

The Springfield Republican reports today:

Democrats were hardly out in full force yesterday to elect delegates to the party's state convention ...However, a full allotment was chosen in Longmeadow, and Democratic Town Committee Chairwoman Candy Glazer said the turnout of close to 50 people was the largest she has seen in a nongubernatorial election year.
