In sports news, please go to mlb.com, and vote for Joe Mauer for the AL catcher's spot. You can read my rant from yesterday if you wish to.
I knew that Bronson Arroyo played guitar and released a CD while playing for the Red Sox. He's already getting busy while playing for the Reds.
It's one for the sports rockers as Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo shows off his pitch in a different way - headlining a concert Thursday at the Madison Theater, Covington. He'll perform tunes from his CD "Covering the Bases."Do you blog? Unless you are one of the ones that make the big bucks, don't quit your day job anytime soon.
Also on the bill, Raquel Aurilia, wife of Reds infielder Rich Aurilia.
The concert was the idea of Raquel Aurilia, who is pursuing an independent career as a pop singer and last year released her CD "Finding My Way."
"When Bronson came over (from the Red Sox to the Reds), I had heard he had a CD. We ... talked about how it would be fun to do something together. I thought, 'Let's do something for the Reds.' So, here we are."
Iowa surprises Edwards.
Just like the DCCC with what they did in New Hampshire, the DSCC has made me angry (don't expect money from me anytime soon!). From now on, if I have the finances, I'm donating to the candidates and the candidates only. How could Charles Schumer and the DSCC endorse an anti-Semite?
It's not yet clear whether Sen. Charles E. Schumer's endorsement of James Webb over Harris Miller in today's Democratic Senate primary in Virginia will help move votes. But it did move money -- away from Schumer (N.Y.) and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee he leads.Allies of Joe Lieberman believe that the Senator will run as an independent if he's not nominated by the Democratic party. The Lieberman campaign has distanced themselves from Droney with regards to the campaign.
The DSCC's decision to break with custom and wade into a primary battle on behalf of a Reagan administration official against a longtime Democratic loyalist outraged many influential Democrats, including some who raise a lot of money that now won't be going to the DSCC.
The most immediate fallout of Schumer's endorsement was the relocation of a post-primary fundraiser for the DSCC that was scheduled to be at the home of former lieutenant governor Donald S. Beyer Jr. and his wife, Megan. The longtime Democratic fundraisers are Miller supporters. The Beyers begged off after Schumer's move, for which they received no notice.
The event will be at another venue, but is likely to bring in considerably less money as irritated Miller backers join the Beyers in taking a pass on helping the DSCC.[...]
Beyer said the DSCC should have stayed out. "They've dug a hole that was unnecessary," he said. "If Harris wins, they are going to look ridiculous. They will have irritated an awful lot of people."
John F. Droney Jr., a former Democratic state chairman who helped Lieberman unseat Republican Sen. Lowell P. Weicker Jr. in 1988, said Lieberman should make his case for re-election to all voters in November.I think that's all for now.
"I think to be terrorized through the summer by an extremely small group of the Democratic Party, much less the voting population, is total insanity for a person who is a three-term senator," Droney said.
Droney's suggestion was not welcomed by the Lieberman campaign. The senator's staff has been trying to discourage speculation that Lieberman, who is more popular with Republicans and unaffiliated voters than Democrats, might run as an independent.
Lieberman's campaign manager, Sean Smith, and Nancy DiNardo, the Democratic state chairwoman, immediately distanced themselves from the suggestion by Droney, who has played no major role in Lieberman's 2006 campaign.
"I believe that Joe Lieberman will win this primary. He has been a good Democrat, and I believe he will remain a Democrat," DiNardo said.
