The nutroots haven't settled on who the top of the ticket should be yet for the Democrats in 2008. But wouldn't Michael Vick make the "ideal" Veep nominee? From his name recognition, from sex scandals, to his appeal to Jesse Jackson recruited voters (felons), to his fall from grace and his need to forgive, and ultimately how he can articulate the "moral authority" of the platform as uniquely as anyone... Vick's got it all!

On a somewhat unrelated note(s), thanks for your forgiveness for the slower posting and "moving dust" in and around this blog. TownHall has upgraded many of the features of how we are able to post and this has come with considerable time and energy - and I KNOW that the final product will be something you come to enjoy more and more.

I will be more or less absent from this space for the next 8 days. The Lovely Bride has endured a series of what seem to be increasingly serious health issues for the last three months. Couple that with the fact that we haven't taken a real vacation in almost four years and the time has come for us to power down, hibernate, and recharge for a bit. There will likely be no new syndicated columns, blog posts, and no new radio content for about a week. After that I expect that you will see the energy level return on all fronts. (And we will be attacking the completing of my next book with much focus!)

Everything about the MuscleHead Revolution has been in the process of improving/updating over the last month. Many readers ask on a regular basis about how they can access the radio listening here online. Good thing you asked, I'd like you to book mark this page here at WMCA-AM 570 in New York. This page is your ultimate one stop shop for EVERYTHING related to the Revolution. Of course you can easily navigate back and forth from there to the blog here on Townhall. You can listen "live" each weekday from 2-4pm EST via the digital streaming (and it sounds better than ever.) But we've also tried to make your life easier by adding "on demand listening." Accessible via download to your computer/pda/iPod, or by just listening off your computer - any time YOU want to, whenever it fits YOUR schedule. This page will also be the temporary home of the "McCullough PUNCH" my weekly video commentary. TOWNHALL will be the future home of "the PUNCH" perhaps in September, but it will take us a while to transfer the technology/files from the YouTUBE universe to the new ROO system here at TownHall. On this same page you can join my MySpace or Facebook communities, we are active on both and you love to add you as a friendly face. We also made it super easy to subscribe via iTunes to the podcast delivery of the radio show AND the "PUNCH" through a simple one click process. We've also made it easier than ever to get back and forth from TownHall and WMCA!

One of my favorite new areas of the online "MuscleHead Revolution" is our new resource center/bookstore called "The Command Post." By clicking through to it you can now find not only what's on my reading stand, but also what The Lovely Bride recommends, and coming soon V-man's list as well. With expanded sections of DVD's, films, music, television, and even gourmet cooking recommendations we have tried to let you into the world behind the scenes of the on-air operations as best we're able.

Speaking of which as we head out today to a place where nobody knows who we are, and I'd be surprised if we even get internet, the Lovely Bride and I are taking some reading material along and here's what's in our bags:

           

For me I'm a sucker for the "World War" era of our nation's history to present day, which is why I've been waiting eagerly for Bill Bennett's follow up to his historical anthology of the United States simply titled: AMERICA. At over 500 pages, if I finish it, I am bringing along Douglas Brinkley's: The Reagan Diaries.

The Lovely Bride stood in line last night at midnight to get the final installment of Harry Potter, she now has them all and our 6am flight ought to be really fun - but she didn't want to go on vacation without it. She has also recently been catching up on her history of the royals so a read of The Other Boleyn Girl will be fun as well.

Long story short, its summer, lots of changes in the look, feel, and access to everything MuscleHead and we hope and pray that it is helpful!

Speaking of prayers, for those of you who do - please continue to hold up the Lovely Bride - she means an awful lot to me, and continues to be the most amazing support, friend, and encourager I've ever known!.
