I know the Jester has been out of commission for several weeks, but the brother works for a living...ya heard? I have been burning the midnight oil again up Bentonville way. The Wal-Mart Shareholders meeting was this week in Bentonville. Of course I didn't know what to expect, since this is my first rodeo. I, along with a crew of 4 others from Oklahoma were recruited to travel to the Bentonville Sam's Club to make sure that it was perfect and ready for the Board of Directors to walk through it.
We worked our tails off to get it ready. Now, that being said, I am sure you are thinking why would all these people need to spend a week getting a club ready to tour. Was it in terrible shape??? No way, it was in good shape, we just helped it along to perfect. We straightened pallets (with pallet jacks and sledge hammers, yes it was fun throwing a sledge), merchandised killer displays (shout out to Mike OKC for the killer power washer end!), and detailed Electronics with a fine tooth comb. We put in a ton of hours in 5 and a half days, but I learned a lot and had a great sense of accomplishment by the time it was over.
Now to the subject at hand. It appears that someone finally got it through the thick skull of Hillary Clinton that it was over. While in Arkansas (between work and sleep) I saw the head of her campaign on CNN stating that she will not bow out of the primary under any circumstance and that she was absolutely not interested in speaking about the VP position. Less than 24 hours later, all the networks were saying that their sources were telling them that Hillary is very open to speak with Obama about a Vice Presidential post.
It's ironic (nah...it's just politics really) that when the primary is ongoing you can pretty much dog cuss your opponent and tell the people how much they stink and then all of a sudden they are kissing cousins with the loser sucking up to the winner for a VP slot. In my somewhat humble opinion, I think Hillary has such a base of voters that will not under any circumstances vote for her (in the Democratic party as well as the Republican party) that she will effectively lose the election for Obama if she is his VP. If you couple that with the fact that Michelle Obama doesn't like her, I think it will be a long shot to see Hillary in '08.
I am not really sure who I would like to see Obama run with, but I will give a quick shout out for McCain. If McCain wants a decent showing in the polls, he needs a VP that doesn't look like he has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. I think Bobby Jindal would be the man for McCain. Jindal is the current Gov of Louisana. I am not terribly familiar with him, but he may be the first non corrupt Gov of that state ever. After the whole Katrina debacle, the citizens of the Pelican State were sick of politicians not stepping up and are ready to hold them accountable. Good or bad Bobby is a very likable figure in the south. Now back to Obama.
I really have no one to put on the VP ticket for Obama. I have racked my brain for weeks about this and have come up with nothing. I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I really don't want to see a Obama/Clinton ticket. IF nothing else, I don't want to see any else get "Vince Fostered" and then boom she is in the White House.
Jester Out!

Is getting there REALLY half the fun?
My beautiful wife dropped me off at the airport this morning at about 8:00 am. It was a crisp April morning not unlike the one before it. After saying our goodbyes, I went into the airport to check my bags and print my boarding passes. Behind the counter was bright shining smiling Lisa (Pastors daughter) who helped me pick a better seat and get my bag checked...thanks Lisa!!! But then it went south.
I choked down the $9 (actually $11 after tip) Breakfast Tacos from TGIFridays. I forgot how bad powdered eggs are. I made my way over to the gate area to wait on my flight. They began boarding after about 15 minutes of waiting. I was in group 6. After calling groups 1-4, they just stopped. After several minutes, they said they were having a problem with something or other and they would not continue boarding until it was resolved. About 15 minutes later they began boarding again. I am all comfy in my seat, listening to music when the Captain says that they are experiencing a problem with the radio.
We sat on the runway for another 30 minutes while the ground crew diagnosed and finally fixed the problem with the radio. The flight that was supposed to leave Tulsa at 9:55 took off at 11:17. My connecting flight to San Antonio was scheduled to leave at 11:55. We arrived DFW at 11:43 at gate C35, and I needed to be at gate A24 in 12 minutes. I rushed and hurried, got on the tram and ran to gate A24. The plane was still there, but the door was shut. The lady behind the counter (oh how I wished it was Lisa) didn't really care much, but said I was now confirmed on the 1:05 flight to San Antonio at gate C 25...just feet from where I initially got off the first plane.
I made my way to the gate. There was no time to grab any lunch, so I had "skips". We boarded the plane on time. This flight was much more crowded than the last. I sat next to a middle aged woman who wore way too much perfume, probably trying to cover up the cigarette smoke smell. Most of you know that I am not a small person, well okay, I am fat. To be quite honest, I am fully convinced that the seats on an MD-80 were designed to comfortably fit midgets. I am not sure which was worse, the awful perfume smell or the discomfort of the seat. Either way, they were both bad.
Upon arriving in San Antonio, I checked my voice mail. Our market admin aide had called and was very concerned that I was not on my original flight and was MIA. I had to call her and let her know that I was in fact safe and accounted for. I got in a van (some surplus CIA vehicle I am quite sure of) and was taken to my hotel.

Pre-Travel Blogging Extravaganza
What is up? The Jester is back doing what he does...laying down the smack. I thought I would just do a quick hitter about my next few weeks of travel (which I will get to soon) or about the new truck I bought (which I will get to soon), but something came across my path that was to good to let pass by.
We all know Alicia Keys, right? You know, very accomplished musician, song writer, winner of 11 Grammys, winner of 11 Billboard Music Awards, 3 American Music Awards, and 14...count 'em 14 NAACP Image Awards. Pretty impressive list, right? Don't mischaracterize what I am about to say, because I like her music.
Keys said in a recent issue of Blender Magazine (anyone ever heard of this mag?) that "Gangsta' Rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other." She went on to say that "the East Coast/West Coast feud between Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. (although I like to refer to him as Biggie Smalls) was fueled by the government and the media to stop another black leader from existing."
Wow, where do I start? I mean really, this is like shooting fish in a barrel with a rocket powered grenade. For so many other reasons than the blatantly obvious, I will not touch the first quote. But for fun, I will discuss the second one. Let's dissect it one piece at a time.
First, she claims the East Coast/West Coast feud (which by the way, I took the West Coast and the points even though there was so much drama in the LBC) was fueled by the government. Alicia, honey, sweetie, of which government are you speaking? The US government??? Let's list some names, shall we? Dick Cheney, Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Max Waxman, Christopher Dodd, John Kerry, John McCain or insert the name of anyone of 100 Congressmen/women on either side of the aisle probably thought the East Coast/West Coast feud had more to do with the amount of lead in rat feces found floating in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans than rap music. I am the first one to say that most of our elected officials are complete idiots that are far more concerned lining their pockets with bribes and tax money than doing the right thing but you cannot be serious with this claim. I would be willing to bet every dime I have ever earned in my life that Dick Cheney could not give you the title to one song from NWA.
Now, for part two of the least intelligent statement of the day. Was it Tupac or B.I.G. that was going to become a great leader? I am so torn on this one! Let's start with Tupac. I am a fan, so I will give credit where it is due. Tupac Shakur is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the highest selling rap artist of all times. At the time of print (sorry I don't know what year) he had sold 75,000,000(that is 75 million for those of you who attend OSU) copies of his albums worldwide. What a huge accomplishment! Tupac grew up in a terribly poor section of East Harlem. He started his career as a roadie and back up dancer for Digital Underground (yeah, you know the Humpty Dance...come on come on). His career soon skyrocketed and he sold a ton of albums. He was also in trouble with the law on many many occasions. October 1991 he sues the Oakland, CA Police Dept for allegedly beating him over a jaywalking violation. In October 1993 he shot two off duty ATL Police officers who were harassing a motorist, charges were dropped. In December 1993, he was charged with sexual battery, sentenced for a year and a half. These are not really leadership qualities are they, or is just me?
B.I.G. grew up in Brooklyn and was a drug dealer in his youth. He sold a lot of albums as well as Tupac and had run ins with the police like Tupac. March 1996 charged with "harassment" after smashing a taxi window, pulling out two autograph seekers and repeatedly punching them. In mid 1996 arrested for drug and weapons charges. In March 1997, Biggie was killed in a drive by shooting. Again, any leadership qualities here? I didn't think so.
Flying out to San Antonio Tuesday, then back to Arkansas for two weeks starting April 21. Will blog more soon.

Back in the Saddle Again...
Hello one and all for the latest installment of the now not so Daily Take that Doesn't Suck. Let me just get a couple of things off my chest. To the lady that hit, scratched, and scraped my car today in the parking lot then just drove off...we are praying that you will do the right thing and call me tomorrow apologizing and giving me your insurance information. God always works and he is always on time and I am faithful to him. But just in case the lady that was driving decides not to listen to God, maybe she will be convinced to do the right thing when the Tulsa Police Department pay her a visit, hopefully tomorrow. This is the second time in the last 7 years that my car has been hit at work. I won't boar you with the details but an Isuzu Trooper (unoccupied with the parking brake not set and not in gear) rolled all the way across the parking lot at the 15th and Lewis Walgreens smashing into my Honda. It did almost $3000 in damage. I am sure this one will be close to that as well.
Enough of that noise. So, you gotta wonder how happy the people of New York are these days...not that I could imagine them being very happy to begin with for oh so many reasons. You got Elliot Spitzer paying for it. Just a side note, dude is not a pretty man. He looks like a scrawnier, jewish version of Carl Childers from Slingblade..."I got no reason to kill nobody, uhm hummm oye vay." I guess dude felt like he had to pay for it, but even as ugly as he is, I think he got ripped off a little bit. I mean come on...$4300, that's a starter car here in Oklahoma. There are 'necks out here that bought their first Firebird (probably a 1983-1986) for that money or less. You know you have a problem and way to much money when you are dropping $4000 plus for some lovin'. Come on dude, apply yourself. You have a pretty attractive wife, although I have no idea what she sees in you. But really, talk to her, romance her, and you will probably be able to have relations with her. And you won't be dropping thousands of dollars in the process. Just my opinion...come on Carl, give it a shot, you have nothing more to lose.
Just when you thought that was over, the new Gov admits his marital indiscretions while the seats were still warm from his swearing in ceremony. I mean, call me crazy but maybe you could have admitted this before you took the office. I am not sure if I hold this dude any less accountable than Spitzer. He didn't pay for it (that we are aware of) but he cheated on his wife several times with several different women. Dudes wife is very attractive and again, all he had to do was apply himself. Dude is blind, so maybe he has no idea how good he had it at home. How hard is it to find a stinkin politician that is not a freak in the sack???
So this week, Barack gave his "let me distance myself from my pastor that I have known and trusted for the last twenty years that is now making me look really bad" speech. It was a good speech but he didn't really didn't say much. It was the Washington version of the Wagoner County bait and switch. The speech was talked up and millions awaited it. It was very eloquent but had no substance to it. As Dan Rather said, "in Texas High School football terms, he is all drop back and no pass." I still think he will be our next president, but there may be more skeletons falling out of the closet.
More to come later...Jester out!!!

And The Winner Is....
Nobody. In the red corner we have Hillary Clinton. By the way, has she dropped the Rodham from her name?? She is a high strung, high temper hippie/femenist reject from the 1960's. (By the way, if you are so flat chested that you don't wear a bra, is it still proper etiquette to burn them? Not sure on that one.) I know looks shouldn't make a difference in presidential politics, but it does. Unfortunately, Senator Clinton is not a very attractive person. Don't get me wrong, she is much better looking than any picture I have seen of her during the 1960's and
1970's...back then, there weren't enough pork chops to put around her neck for the dog to play with her. Today, she just looks like a mean, nasty (think of Ursala from Little Mermaid) old woman. Do something for yourself Hil...have a little work done, maybe have the doctors do their thing so you can actually smile and it not look scripted. Call Joan Rivers, she can recommend a team of docs. Then again, maybe I am way off here. You be the judge.
In the blue corner we have Barack Obama. He will turn 47 this year, putting him the same age as John McCain's youngest great grand child, but that will come later in this rant. Barack is a wonderful speaker. I remember seeing him give the keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention. I told my wife at that moment, "you are looking at a future president." It looks like he will beat the Clinton machine and get the nomination, unless something sinister happens ala Vince Foster. Let's pray that doesn't happen. Don't misunderstand, Barack is a liberal. He doesn't really deny it, but he doesn't embrace it either. Dude has the opportunity to make a true difference in this country and change things. He is not a Washington insider that has been eating out of the "Gubment" trough for the last 40 years like McCain, or for the last almost 30 years like the Clintons. More on Obama below.
On the outside of the steel cage waiting to take on the winner of the Democratic Battle Royal is John McCain. John unfortunately sounds like he swallowed Sylvester the Cat (Looney Tunes) when he talks, and his jowls are so swollen, it looks like he swallowed him as well. McCain seems like he is spending most of his time reminding his base that he is conservative. I have a little advice for you John, if you have to remind yourself and the people around you, that you are not crazy, you might be a little crazy...just ask Britney Spears. So, in your case, replace crazy with conservative and replace Britney Spears with the American people. In retrospect, that is a really terrible analogy, but it's the best I can do on my day off.
I am a Republican, but more than that, I am an American. That being said, McCain ain't my man...he will not get my vote. The US needs someone that we can all rally around and bring this country back to the level that we can be. In my opinion, Clinton and McCain are not those people. I am not sure Obama is that person either. Is he the lesser of the evils? Your thoughts???
I promise the next post will not be all serious and stuff!

Sorry Kelly
Not much time to blog this morning. Just a quick apology to all the Kelly Clarkson fans out there. I mistakenly left her off the list of performers that we saw in KC week before last. She had strong vocals, especially for 10:00 in the morning...very impressive.
Again, sorry for leaving you off the list Kelly! Forgive me?
More to come this week.

Post KC Pre OKC
Hello again one and all. Have you missed the Jester? I know you have. I have been on the road the last week in Kansas City for Sam's Club Year Begining Meetings. Wow, what a tremendous amount of information packed into a 3 day meeting. I learned a ton about culture. I know you are thinking...culture, what is this that Jester speaks? The 25 years of Sam's Club has produced tons of extremely valuable people and their integrity, personalities, ethics and habits have formed our culture.
Sandwiched between meetings we had some great entertainment. The first day we had Lifehouse (a really surprisingly good band...remember "Hanging By a Moment"), Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds (great vocalist, guitar player, and co-wrote "Change the World" with Clapton). Thursday we had REO Speedwagon. No offense here, but I am just curious which state fair had to do without REO so we could have them. They sounded pretty good, but the lead singer Kevin Cronin did not age gracefully. Dude had some spooky eyebrows going on. They did 4 or 5 songs that were loud enough to easily be heard across into the Kansas side of the city. The last day we had Martina McBride. She is a pretty nice looking lady with a good voice. I wish I knew more of her songs. The only one I was familiar with was "Independance Day".
I will leave Tuesday for Oklahoma City for 3 fun filled days of reviewing managerial evals. That will be a fun filled 3 days I am quite sure. I will get to see my Developmental GM counterpart while there though, so that's good. We actually roomed together in KC. He is a nice guy, shout out to Jeff.
I was checking out what was on InDemand on Cox Digital and came across the bomb. Stevie Ray Vaughn live in Germany from 1984. It is a 73 minute live performance that absolutely rocks. If you are a fan and you have InDemand, you have to check it out.
I will holla post OKC. Jester Out!
