ELECTION
"We're not the Democratic Party. We're not the Republican Party. We're the After Party." These words straight from Miami Beach mayoral candidate Steve Berke's mouth are pretty much his mantra. Yes, he is a stand-up comedian that uses profanity and makes music parody videos that he posts on YouTube, but insists that his intent to seek public office is not a joke.
Berke says the inspiration to run for mayor came from making fun of politicians as part of his stand-up routines.
His website is far removed from your typical politician's because, well, he isn't one. With a section of his website devoted entirely to models that might bring you an absentee ballot form to his Frat-tastic campaign ads to the whack-a-mayor game where players try to knock the incumbent mayor Bower on the head, this dude is definitely trying something different. He even proudly displays his "Should Be Legalized" music video that he created over a year ago, so he's definitely got the stoner vote, if stoners actually vote, that is.
The right-wing has come up with a new campaign strategy this fall. Terror Babies! The theory is that radical groups are going to use the 14th Amendment to enter the U.S., have children, and then, when they are young adults, use them to infiltrate the United States legally to perpetuate acts of terrorism against the country. On Anderson Cooper's show last night, he broke his usual mellow demeanor and argued with guests about the legitimacy of such claims. Could this be a backwards campaign tactic going into the election season or could this be real? What are your thoughts?
Diddy's Concept
I went to a meeting with Tim Martin at Martin Cadillac to discuss some future projects, and what does owner Matt Taylor tell me? GM has a deal with Diddy to develop a concept vehicle. Now that’s a good idea regarding a new marketing strategy. As we discuss the merits of the idea a secretary comes in and says they delivered the new vehicle. It’s a black on black Cadillac Escalade with a 32″ pop-up flat screen, reclining seats, a full bar in the front console, internet connections and computer links to the flat screen. It was PIMP!!!
