"I remember my brother Jack at the Cape in 1961 just before he went to Paris to see de Gaulle and..."

“I remember my brother Jack at the Cape in 1961 just before he went to Paris to see de Gaulle and then to Vienna to see Khrushchev. Late in the afternoon we walked over together from his house to my father’s house. There was a heavy fog coming in, and it was cool and getting dark. As we walked out across the lawn Caroline came out of my father’s house crying. She came down off the porch and ran over to Jack. He sort of held her and talked to her with great tenderness. Just then the kitchen door opened up and someone called out, “Mr. President, they want you on the White House phone — they said it’s important.” And Jack said, “Caroline, I’ll be back in just a moment. Let me take this phone call.” Jack took the phone call and then we all went into the dining room together. As we sat down there was a silence at the table and I could feel that Dad for some reason was uneasy and edgy. And then he said, “Jack, I saw what happened outside. Caroline was in tears and came out. You had a call from the White House. I know there are a lot of things on your mind about meeting with Khrushchev and your trip abroad. But let me tell you something: Nothing that will happen during your Presidency will be as important as how Caroline turns out. And don’t forget it.””

Their dad was a real asshole, but I like this.

“

Matta’s favorite moment came seconds before tip-off of the championship game of the N.C.A.A. tournament in 2007.

“For what it’s worth,” Matta recalled Titus telling him as the starters took the floor, “I got five fouls to give.” Titus then pointed at the end of the bench and said, “I’ll be right down here if you need me.”

Matta cracks up while recalling the story. “It was good for me then; I needed it,” he said.

Really couldn’t be more proud to be the great-great-grandson of this guy. He brought change to the White House - doubling the size of the bathtub, for example. He also admitted Arizona and New Mexico to the Union, so… you know… you’re welcome.

The Academy Hookup

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:53:00 -0400

I get emails from The Academy Hookup. I really couldn’t even begin to tell you what that is, they don’t even show up when you google them, but they’re certainly real and they seem to enjoy emailing me. I usually just delete them because I’m lazy and I just don’t really care. But they emailed me twice today and I finally decided enough was enough. I scrolled to the bottom and clicked “Unsubscribe” which, as I should have expected, brought me to a lovely 404 - page not found. It’s one of those cute ones, too, that says things like “whoops, our bad.”

I still don’t really care, but what a silly and annoying way to run a business.

PS: This kinda puts that Dixie Chicks situation into perspective, doesn’t it?

These signs and protests are so bizarre. I wanted to say something about how disgusting and off-base they are, but they’re pretty much just a mockery of themselves, right? I guess what gets me the most upset is the attention they get for simply yelling the loudest.

But on the other hand, if poor spelling, random name calling and somewhat arbitrarily placed quotation marks are the best they’ve got, I feel pretty confident I’m on the right side of things with BHO.

So awesome. The amount of people drawn to these protests get me a little worried, but then they make signs like this and I’m like, “Oh, right. It’s you guys,” and then everything goes back to normal.

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:06:34 -0400

“And the so-called real world will not discourage you from operating on your default settings, because the so-called real world of men and money and power hums merrily along in a pool of fear and anger and frustration and craving and worship of self. Our own present culture has harnessed these forces in ways that have yielded extraordinary wealth and comfort and personal freedom. The freedom all to be lords of our tiny skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the center of all creation. This kind of freedom has much to recommend it. But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talk about much in the great outside world of wanting and achieving. The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.”
