Starring Leonard Nimoy, John McCain, and Barack Obama. A modification of this video mashup -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDY_Pu4cEmg -- and living proof that some people (who, me?) should not be allowed to own modern video editing tools...

This was a "you had to be there" event. We captured all the award presentations and some of the byplay, but most of the fun took place off-camera, and maybe a "What happens at the Community Choice Awards stays at the CCA" attitude is better than trying to show you all the game-playing, drinking, eating, drinking, tattooing, drinking, socializing, and drinking that went on.

In this video I give you the TRUTH about Barack Hussein Obama's sexuality, religion, children, wife, and his amazing disregard for the American dollar. After seeing this video, you will understand why patriotic Americans must band together to get the RIGHT candidate into the White House in this November's election!!!

Being a Democrat -- or even just being not an ultra-right worker-hater -- in this part of the U.S. can be lonely. But take heart. You are not alone. Here are some ordinary local people who are not only Democrats but proud of it. ~ Courtesy of http://internetvideopromotion.com ~

This is a very cool gym, run by very cool trainer Aaron Avalos, who is not only producing champion boxers but also keeping kids from joining gangs or otherwise getting into trouble. Timothy happened to be in town (Bradenton, Florida) one day, so he and I visited La Fe. Coach Aaron taped a pair of gloves on Tim and let him thump away on a heavy bag -- which wore Tim out more than three rounds of sparring wore out most of Aaron's aspiring boxers. But it was fun all around, and Tim got on well with the boxers-- who are just as fixated on their sport as a typical Slashdot geek is fixated on technology.

Sarasota Herald-Tribune's Jeremy Wallace talks to former Florida Senator/Governor Bob Graham about the Obama-Clinton dustup and gets a non-commital answer; Creative Loafing's Justin Richards asks 13th Congressional District candidate Christine Jennings a local solar energy question -- and she didn't know the answer, which sort of surprised me since the press conference where this was shot was all about energy prices. (Yes, Christine, the largest solar energy plant in Florida is in Sarasota...)

This is a rough "guerilla video" shot hand-held with only the on-camera shotgun mic -- but OTOH I also show you the leadup to the manufactured event (AKA "press conference") itself, plus shots of the assembled pressies...

http://voterichardjackson.com -- Richard Jackson is running for the Florida legislature in house district 67. He's a Democrat and he has two PhDs. His opponent (incumbent) is a party-line Republican who helped make Florida the mess it is today. We need to get more people like Richard into our legislature!

Emerson Point has lovely restored wetlands, great views of the Manatee River where it empties into the mouth of Tampa Bay, and ruins and other artifacts from early European settlers -- and from Indians who lived here as early as 800 A.D. This short "highlight tour" concentrates on some of the more humble animal inhabitants and the view from Emerson Point itself. We need to go back another time to see some of the park's (many) other features.

SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 2008 - The Village of the Arts in Bradenton, Florida, held its first-ever St. Patrick's Day parade. It was organized by Dona Lee, owner of the Village Voices Book Gallery on 10th Ave. West. Most of the shots in this impromptu video were taken at the corner of 11th St. West and 16th Ave. West, in the "South" section of the Village of the Arts the city has decided should not get additional improvements. It was a joy to see the mayor and three city council members here -- and an even greater joy to see a police car here *not* answering a call. Dona did a great job organizing this event, and deserves huge credit, especially for including the oft-forgotten section of the Village of the Arts South of 13th Avenue.

Palmetto is a pleasant little town that has historically had low housing prices and more industry and agriculture than tourism. Now expensive condos and villas are being built there, but Palmetto's basic essence survives.

La Fe Boxing Club in Bradenton, Florida, is run by Aaron Avalos. He gets no government support. He trains champion boxers and -- more important -- provides local kids with an alternative to the gang life.

http://linux.com caught up with Max at FUDCon. He told us how much he has enjoyed being the Fedora project leader for the past two years, and why this is a good time to hand the reins to someone else. Max will still be working for Red Hat, and even though he will no longer be head Fedora honcho, he'll still be involved with the project. But that's enough from us. Let Max tell it in his own words.
