Here's a sign Marlene thought was hilarious...I got a chuckle out of it, but she loved it...that's why I married the great gal.

I've always seen Hillary as pretty devious and conniving (I think it's the perma-smile/smirk), and tonight only lessened this a little.  I think she's going to try to run a nicer campaign than she has up to this point to match Obama's "no mud" policy, so she's gonna let Bill sling the insults and just shake her head in that "oh, there goes Bill again" way she did tonight.  Both were very civil tonight other than the Iraq  vote thing.  Point to Obama on that for being right from the start.

I'd certainly vote for either of these candidates over Bush buddy McCain or the dog torturer Romney...Huckabee's a dead man walking in the other side's primaries, won't even throw him in the mix.  And Ron Paul has hippies, at least in this area (Virginia), so he'll never win over the republicans.

On healthcare, points again for Obama for basically saying, I'll make it affordable, so the american people will be free to make a decision on if they want it or not.  Clinton's mandate just seems too dictator like to me.  Can't force it on people if it's not free.  I must buy car insurance to drive, that's fine...if I don't want insurance, I don't get a car.  Same with home owners insurance.  Ok, so....if I don't want health insurance, I have to choose to give up my health?  It's impossible to enforce as well.  Healthcare is such a mess that I don't think it's going to be fixed anytime soon, but Obama seems to have the more realistic approach to it.

Both had decent ideas on immigration, and the driver's licence thing is a non issue.  If you're an illegal immigrant, you're gonna drive, licence or no.

The TV thing was a waste of time as well, in my opinion.  Anyone who's heard my podcasts or knows me knows my views on "bad words", and I'm a firm believer in parents getting up off their asses and doing some parenting.  There's enough technology out there to keep kids from seeing shit or reading shit you don't want 'em to see or read.  If you're too lazy to do so, too bad.  Government intervention begins to border on 1st amendment issues, and is a political quagmire (giggity).  It's not words that are bad, it's the intent behind them.  And I suppose if a kid is determined enough to go to a news stand and look at naked ladies or maybe to the library and read a book that has "fuck" in it, more power to the intrepid little fuckers....at least they're reading.

So, Obama wins tonight's debate by a length or so.  I'll go ahead and throw him my official "I'm a nonentity but I got an opinion goddamn it" endorsement.  I hope the 20 or so people who come here agree with me, and if you don't, please feel free to engage in a friendly debate here on the blog.  I love to debate.  I'm a master debater...Oh wait....that's something else....never mind.

This weeks podcast puts together the songs I've listened to the most over the past 2-3 shitty ass years.  What better way to start off 2008 than revisit the crappy past?

The play count has been reset, so I'll do this again after what I hope will be much, much better than the past couple years.  Got the band, an offer to join another band from one of the surgeons at work...2008 is gonna be great!  2007 sure wasn't heaven.  Sorry, best I could come up with off the top of my head.

Enjoy the tunes that got me through 2005-2007!

I got a new microphone too, think it's a pretty good improvement over my other one, I sound a little clearer, and there's no "pop" when I stop recording voice.  I'm still the same old boring host though, the mic won't fix that.

Enjoy!

I had to delete podcast 1 to make room for this one (as soon as comcast ups my webspace to 1 gigabyte I will be able to keep podcasts online longer), so if you're curious or missed it, too goddamn bad.  Seriously though, technically, it sucked.  Blew out people's eardrums.  I got the recording program figured out now though!
Will post the new podcast as soon as it's done converting to mp3.  Enjoy!

My very first thought (after "holy shit!") was, "Fuck...what's going to happen to the rest of the story?!  I hope he wrote an outline."

I'm going to hell.

My musical taste is pretty broad, but my favorites, in no particular order, are:

Harry Chapin, 80's stuff, oldies (real oldies, not the stuff they call oldies now, which includes songs from the late 70's and 80's...or does that just mean I'm old?), show tunes, and comedy...that's twisted comedy songs, like Weird Al, Stephen Lynch, stuff like that...

That's just a few.

Please send requests, comments, questions, etc. to ottopodcast@comcast.net, unless you acutally have my real email, which is probably about 99% of my current audience.  I will play anything.  Honest.
