Seminar

Did you feel something different in the air on Tuesday?  I know I did.  It was the coolness factor in Austin, it went up so many levels that it was practically tangible.  Rudy Giuliani, Colin Powell, and Robert Schuller all under the same roof trying to get you motivated at a seminar. I had to miss out on this event because I lack the motivation to drive downtown and park along with 12,000 other motivated people.  Although, if I would have went to the events website earlier I would have been more inclined to sit in traffic seeing as how their stage show is exciting, explosive, (literally they use pyrotechnics to get you motivated) and laced with special effects.

One Less Bush in the World

Bush and Henry Hager with Randoms strewn about

Bush and Henry Hager with Randoms strewn about

Jenna Bush ditched her presidential last name and got married to Henry Hager over the weekend in Crawford, Texas. Hager comes from a rich GOP backing family and is a former Karl Rove aide. Sister Barbara stood up as the maid of honor. The white house released eleven staged photos of the joyous occasion; suspiciously missing are any sign of delicious margaritas. I suppose that’s a cheap shot and we should let Jenna move on from her UT reputation and Chuy’s debacle. Up next for Jenna is promoting her new book, and deciding whether or not she should shame her entire family by voting for a democrat.
