We'll Now Hear from the Esteemed State Senator from Staten Island

Diane Savino, the NY State Senator from Staten Island gave an impassioned speech earlier this week in support of the gay marriage bill that was brought to the senate floor, and ultimately failed. Worth 7 minutes of your time ... hope to hear more from her in the future.

No - I'm not talking about the legalization of gay marriage. Just posting a shout-out to my girl, MCM, who put on this amazing show, Unchartered: Imaginary Landscapes. I ain't cultured and whatnot, but I hang around some pretty cool people who are. If you're in the 'hood, swing by tomorrow night for art and poetry and wine... now that's some good stuff.

Crushing on FSJ Crushing on BO

Fake Steve Jobs is an unwavering supporter of my main man, Barack Obama. It's definitely not McCain 2013, but FSJ - speaking for Silicon Valley - paints his own vision:

"...note to the rest of America -- we may not be as sexy as Hollywood or Wall Street, but you know what? We've got a shitload of money, and we know how to organize. We're a powerful bunch of khaki-wearing, gay-marriage-supporting, arugula-eating, Mac-using elitist nerds out here. To all of you racist homophobic non-Californian dumb fucks who find that annoying? Tough shit. We outsmarted you. We out-spent you. And now for the next eight years we're going to be running this country. We're going to give equal rights to gay people, fund stem-cell research, teach evolution, take down the fence on the Mexican border, and make sure abortion stays safe and legal. We're going to pull out of Iraq, shut down Gitmo, and stop torturing people. And yeah. A black dude with a Muslim-sounding name and degrees from Columbia and Harvard is going to be in charge. So sit back down, strap yourself in, and shut the fuck up, crackers."

For the record, I don't live in Silicon Valley or wear khakis. But the rest of the dream ain't so bad. And as FSJ would say, "Namaste".
