A one year project to become a better man in America's south
Day 192 – Not a lot of blogging today. I’m sick as heck. And no, I’m not hung over. I know that’s what you are thinking after posting pics from The Avett Brothers concert last night.
Ok, drinking may have something to do with it, but I’ll say again – I am not hung over. I think the alcohol on top of the extreme work and little sleep has just slaughtered my immune system. Today I feel like complete butt so I’m staying in the bed.
Day 189 – God gave us Sunday as a day of rest because we need it. It was a gift. And we should accept it.
I have not been. I don’t think anyone on the Donehue Direct team has accepted it. That’s a problem.
The entire office is sick. We’ve run our bodies into the ground. I can’t believe that Renee and Jonathan are still awake. Perhaps its because they are younger than me, or because they don’t bounce around to legislative parties on Tuesdays and Wendesdays, but they still have gas in the tank. I do not.
Day 187 – Another Pub Politics is in the history books. Episode 90. Just ten more until our big 100th episode blow-out. It will be epic. EPIC!
You’ve always heard – when you lie down with dogs, you are going to get fleas.
Day 179 – The times they are a’changing.
Today I had the opportunity to speak to Charle Bierbauer’s class at the University of South Carolina. It was an honor for me. Charles Bierbauer is someone anyone could admire for his career accomplishments and his expertise. For years, he was CNN’s senior Washington correspondent. He’s a regular on Cspan, CNN, and all sorts of other mainstream media. Coming to his class and being able to share what I’ve learned was awesome.
Day 170 – If so, this picture is worth the thousands words I would have written today.

PS – Dream big. Work bigger.
Day 169 – Whew…I’m tired, yet cannot sleep. I just got back from a drinking session with some reporter friends. I leave for San Francisco in just a few hours to lay out the first cornerstones for our new office there. I’m so excited. It is the heart of technology, a new side of politics, and generally it’s a world away from Columbia. I’m gonna bring the two together and make big things happen.
I’m leaving Columbia on an extremely sour note. Election day…well, it sucked. I was expected to be in 20 different places at 0 different times, and little aggravating factors just made it generally something I don’t care to repeat. All of this was done with a pool of water in my car, by the way. If you haven’t seen it, check out how I was scammed by some thieves for a faulty window job. It wasn’t pleasant to deal with, and I will be keeping updates on that issue. Those guys suck and I can’t say it enough.
Yeah, check out the ongoing damage being done to my car. Those…ah, not even gonna say it…with so much drama in the CAE…It’s kinda hard:
Day 167 – Another short blog. We are in Charleston today for the Southern Republican Leadership Conference and presidential debate. The city is buzzing with reporters and political action. There ain’t a whole lot better than Charleston and politics. We are having a blast.
My buddy and chief competitor Vincent Harris is in town, and Jonathan and I are crashing with our new employee Patrick, who I will announce you to later next week.
Day 160 – Today provided a first for the Donehue Direct team.
You never know what’s going to happen when you wake up in the morning. I certainly didn’t expect our first big national TV hit.

Day 159 – I do not know how many interviews one man can do in one week, but I’m going to find out. No time to write today, but I thought you would be interested in these two quick interviews on WACH Fox today.
Day 156 – Working on the Sabbath. I’ll rest later. I’m in the zone with Donehue Direct work today so I don’t want to jump away from my real work. I’ll simply post these videos that ran this morning on WIS Newswatch. Have a fantastic Sunday!
