Well, you sort of have to, because like it or not, he's the chairman and chief judge of the 2010 Cicero Speechwriting Awards, which has just issued its call for entries. The fee is only $99 per entry, the entry procedure is effortless, the deadline is Jan. 15 and the chairman is is dead sexy.
Or at least, in his publicity photo, he appears convinced that he is.

Ron Shewchuk says
My little David, he’s all growed up!

When did this happen and what have you done my little brother, Daydo Potato?
Joan H. says
Nice maximization of available hair, David!
David Murray says
I suppose I do have this coming.
Steve Crescenzo says
My GOD, that is the exact same portrait that is hanging above the bar at The Manhole Club, on North Halsted, in Chicago!
I know, because I went in there once on accident. I swear. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Really.

David Murray says
Steve, the Manhole has been close for more than a decade. The portrait hangs proudly at Piehole Pizza Joint.
And as per usual, your jealousy is as uncamouflaged as your pate.

Susan – thanks for the gem of “Daydo Potato.” As a loyal reader, i’m going to use that one to death.
David Murray says
Isn’t there a way to make a blog available only to non-family?

All I said was: “Where did you lay your hands on a suit?? Did you have to rent it??”
And MY comment went by email [well, originally] so as not to embarrass the guy.
I AM loving “Dado Potato” though. Eileen: can we tag-team with it, do you think? Maybe we should work out a schedule for usages of it???
Eileen B says
I’m happy to share…there’s so much to go around with that one nickname.
David Murray says
Shit.
