Free Workshop: How to Run for Political Office

 The Free Library of Philadelphia Senior Series is giving a free seminar on how to run a political campaign.  This might truly be your calling.  Check out the deets below:

If you’ve ever wanted to run for public office—-or been curious about the pleasures and heartaches that come with being a political candidate, we’ve got a great program for you!  This Thursday morning at 11:00 A.M., Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt will join us to provide a practical introduction to the world of the candidate.  Schmidt, a reform Republican,  has opposed both the Old Guard of his own party and the Democratic machine.  Among the subjects he will discuss are how to build a campaign organization, raise money, comply with existing election laws and how a candidate can make the best use of his or her time.  This is your chance to meet a man, who together with other reformers in both parties, is seeking to change the way the political game is played here in Philadelphia.  Please join us in Room # 108 at Parkway Central for this compelling program.

Nicki Minaj New Face of “Pop” Pepsi

Minaj will become the face of a new Pepsi beverage nearing  its debut. He said the pact, which includes a commercial filmed in South  America last month (pixely footage has already on YouTube), is a multimillion-dollar deal.

“You’ll see the commercial probably in the next two months,” Jackson  told me before Lil Wayne’s performance at South By Southwest. “That’ll  be a segue into a new beverage Pepsi has, called ‘Pop,’ and she’ll be  the face of the brand … it’s going to be explosive.”-Mypinkfriday.com

Congrats to Nicki for being a black girl from Queens to World Domination!!
