Its the 2nd week of May so it completely makes sense for us to be establishing our 2008 business goals for the Gold Coast Traveler now. Harry Molar got me, Whiskers, Myrna Gooch and the rest of the staff in a conference room to give us a pocket guide/stressball/pen combo with our mission statement and then told us we all needed to establish goals to increase readership.

We're starting with the obvious ideas: adding Ziggy & Family Circus to the front page and featuring guest reporters. Our first guest is some weirdo called Mr. Mix Tape. Just look at him. You'll see what I mean. His first feature hit today and as weird as he looks, he seems to have his finger on the pulse of some super hot tunes.

These past couple of months have turned me into a political talk show junkie.  The Obama v. Clinton throwdown sure has me hooked on Keith Oberman and the best show to ever run against Jeopardy - Hardball with Chris Matthews.  First of all this show has the best name ever.  So great that I named Mr. Friend's new dog Hardballs.

He's pretty much crazy just like Chris Matthews and his guests.  Among my favorites:  the guy who looks just like Murray from Flight of the Conchords (he makes us yell "Murray! in a New Zealand accent), the newspaper reporter who criticizes the Bush administration and the lady in front of the Seattle backdrop.  These guys sure know how to play Hardball!
