Probably Uncalled For...  

First and foremost, it was an utter god damned shame the whole broadcast did not air, or at least has not as of yet aired. We had a great show, and much thanks to our callers from New York City and Louisville, as well as our listeners in Puerto Rico. I couldn't tell you if everybody heard the live run last night, but it didn't seem like we were having any issues. The phones were lively, the chat room had a good flow going, but as it turns out, only seventy minutes or so ended up on the archived version. Argh. Not that it isn't already aggravating enough when Blog Talk Radio suffers the occasional hiccup, and we get cut off for a minute or so here and there. This happens, I get that, but when all systems are go according to the switchboard and we're just tearing up Internet radio land like we do (or try, as it turns out) for two hours every week, and only half makes it through...simply put...f**king argh.

We sent out an email to Blog Talk Radio, and they are looking into the mishap, and hopefully we can figure out what led to the "blackout." Much thanks to the prompt attention Blog Talk Radio showed in responding this afternoon.

Still do not care about China, or their earthquake troubles. Instant karma came right around the corner and got them, and while I doubt seriously that it shook any sense at all into the country, one does hope an aftershock here or there throws a monkey wrench into the Olympic Games. That may be a little harsh, I grant you, but even the severely retarded in the crowd would put their smart money on that hurting China a hell of a lot more than circumstances at present.

Regarding Pope Benedict XVI's recent statement that he worries sex could become like a "drug"- First off, I don't know about Il Papa, but I could use me a new drug...what, nothing?...don't look at me like that, it can't all be A-list stuff here. I would say the Pope's employees need to address some "substance abuse" issues they needs to work out first, before they worry about the rest of the masses. Maybe the Pope will shoot me a text message (great two-thumb typer, the Pontiff...he's also a whoop-a** machine on the Tetris) and let me know just what the hell he's thinking.

Almost too damn cynical at this point to believe there is any hope at all for the American public education system. Not that it was in great shape before No Child Left Behind, and the fact that 75% of the high school graduates getting ready to enter community college read at an 8th grade level, and that some can not even add or subtract only goes to highlight that further. I'm not trying to predict the future or anything, but look for a bump in the military enlistments in the Dallas area in the next few months, followed by the seemingly inevitable troop surge. Give it six months and see if I'm wrong. For once, I hope I am, too.

For the love of humanity, contact your Senator and implore them to not vote in the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008. If the Senate finishes the work of the House, who passed PRO-IP (H.R. 4279), then the RIAA would gain the authority to start seizing stuff of you wind up on the other side of a downloading lawsuit with them. This act would take an already ludicrous situation and put sucker's odds on it. If your congressman voted this in, contact them and let them know not only that they are a douchebag, but you want to see where they got the tracks on their MP3 player.

If you needed any further proof the Justice system in this country may not be that far behind our education system, look to Ohio, where not only do they not even know how to fire their attorney general, but a judge recently tacked 30 more days on a guy, and fined him $1,500, for sharing a freaking snack cake from a vending machine with another inmate. I'm shocked. I did not realize the obesity problem in this country had gotten to the point where they had started employing mandatory minimum laws. A lot more people apparently need to worry...

Thanks once again for checking us out, and we look forward to catching you all next Wednesday night, May 21, at our new time of 8:00pm Eastern, for our 50th Episode!!!
