Video: Dramz at PDF2008
My intrepid BFF, Tracy Russo, standing up for the relatively obvious at the Personal Democracy Forums yesterday in New York. “John McCain is aware of the Internet.” Wow - well, I guess there’s nothing left to do here. Move along.
Also, coverage on Politico.com and TechPresident.com.

Tracy's Dramz Picked Up By CNN
As previously posted, Tracy Russo recently contributed to a panel at the Personal Democracy Forum here in New York about how politics is being affected by technology and the internet. As the former head of John Edwards’ online campaign, she got into it with McCain’s online adviser. Besides garnering applause from the audience for her statements, she got him to utter the now famous phrase “John McCain is aware of the internet.” The drama was the highlight of the conference and got picked up by the blogosphere, and as of this morning, CNN’s Jeanne Moos. In fact, as I am typing this, the piece just came around on the big flatscreen near my desk.
CNN isn’t down with video embedding, so click the post title to view the video.

Get a Belly Full with The Lunch Belle
One thing that makes going to work each day bearable - regardless of the place, level, or capacity in which you’re employed - is being surrounded by people that don’t suck. One way to know that people don’t suck is that they use their free time to actually do something besides work, think about work, or check up on others’ work. Despite my place in a small corner of one of the largest corporations in the world, it turns out that several people around here don’t suck in really fun and different ways.
One of those people runs a blog called The Lunch Belle, offering restaurant reviews, event recommendations, and tasty tidbits for manhattan and surrounding areas. Be sure to check it out if you’re interested in learning about places the locals like (or hate) and unbiased reviews that don’t just repeat what has been said ad nauseum in the press. She’s also started writing for Naturally Savvy, a website that just made the cut into my RSS feed. Finally, you can find her writing in the New York Post’s Page Six Magazine, which you can even pick up and hold on real paper.
Once you’re done reading the important stuff, check out what might a my favorite post, a list of 38 things that make her cringe. Yes, 38! That’s a lot!

![This isn’t just another phototastic moment of the econopocalypse. No! Rather, this is a post about one of my former co-workers being on the cover of the lowest common denominator of free morning subway commute reading, AM New York! (This link to the full issue PDF.) I’ll give you a hint: He’s not the dude gorging on cheesecake or splurging on a day a the spa…
As it turns out, the photo is actually from another local news story about VIP Gentlemen’s Club in Chelsea, where one can partake in a $1000 lapdance and remember Wall Street’s better days. I’m not even going to speculate as to how Charlie managed to finegale his way into that dance that comes with [wait for it] a signed g-string! Yay, evidence!
The only way I could justify $1000 for a lap dance is if it’s $20 a dance with a three song minumum, and then you get a $940 bar tab for the 15 other dudes you must have brought with you to rub in their face that you just got a $1000 lap dance.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/mQBnASlNtev0wsmlipl3RzSvo1_400.jpg)

Cobra Starship. <3
Honestly, I’m a bigger This Is Ivy League fan.
Either way, I’m a huge fan of my friends being really successful in whatever they choose to do. Sometimes I’m completely awed at the breadth of industries we’ve chosen… it’s reminds me of how tiny variabilities in the early universe were compounded and extrapolated into things so different, one can’t even see how they’re connected anymore. But they are.

Take Election Day Off (via BarackObamadotcom)
In 2006 the DNC did a big “Take the Day Off” push at my urging. It seems like regardless of what my job is, once E-Day rolls around, the field organizer in me comes out…
Already gonna do it.

Speechifying in Sunrise, Florida.
Wish I could have been there with you to see it, Trace!
I happened to catch the Clinton/Obama speeches from Orlando last night on CNN. The speaking ability of McCain and Palin, together, on their best days, doesnt’ hold a candle to either of those two. This is what presidents are supposed to be like.

With Julia, Meghan and Mary of NonSociety.com at the CNN Grill
Yeah, the only way I’m going to forgive you for this is with inauguration parties.
And I shall leave to the reader whether by “this” I mean not getting to go to the party with you or your eventual fall to the ultimate interwebz photo op.

I’m always neverous that I’ll fail one of those captcha “are you a human” tests required to post forum comments, thus proving me some sort of Nexus-6 replicant unaware of my own inhumanity. My friend Cheryl has managed to bring that sense of unease to a higher aesthetic plane. Kudos.
