Polk June 13, 2008 9:05 AM In this election year, I cannot help but become a self proclaimed pundit.  Weejuns evolved (or diminshed depending on your view) to the terrible state of having pennies adorned as an accessory.  Consequently, here’s my two cents.  (you will get that on the way home today). Journalism is a fine art.  Comedy is a unique talent. When placed in a mixing bowl, shaken not stirred, you create a concotion that all can enjoy.  Allah, Jon Stewart, the world of the unwashed masses was introduced to Richmond’s Finest Field Reporter - Andrew and Corey withstanding.  Ms. Rachel Albright has offically claimed the title of the Best Music Seen Correspondent 2008!  Under several categories she shattered any perceived expectations and desires of her subjects.  Not since Barbara Walters younger days interviewing John Adams have we witnessed such artistry and best in craft.  Her ability to dig deep, while in the biles of the Richmond Music Seen and the Canal Club is synonomous to Dan Rather interviews in the jungles of Vietnam.  If we had the opportunity to have such a phenom on our desktops everyday like Richard Engel reporting from Iraq the world, moreover Richmond would be....words fail me.  Knowing this i have arrived at a new calling for the Bastard and all my Weejun-ites (now totaling a congregation of 2). It is our duty, now recognizing the Murrow Award caliber talent of Rachel Albright, that I humbly file this charter for the R.A.F.T. (Rachel Albright Fan Team).  As founding president, I do solemnly swear to uphold, to the best of my ability (and with the Rockers approval) the insertion of Rachel on MashUp on any future on-location episodes...with people...that talk...eat...breathe...live on Earth...or any combination thereof.  I dedicate myself to cause of uplifting and promotion of all that she does - public and private.  As the steering committee for the RAFT my first order of business is to have a non-sponsored membership drive starting the 13th day of June, in the year of our Lord 2008. Applications are now available here at MashUp Studios or online at RAFT_ForLife.com.  Andrew, don’t worry, after seeing you on the Music Seen piece, we have you on the roll as an honorary charter member and your dues for the first year are absolutely free.
