Time for The Lunch Conversations #2. Chris and I got together on Friday to discuss his reaction to Bushido.

You can find the link on the right side under Podcasts. Go easy on the hate mail…we’re just kidding about the Mormons. (Update – and the Catholics, and the Lutherans, and the Methodists etc…but probably not about the Muslims.)

A couple of weeks ago I signed up with Switchpod to host my podcast files. Other than the crash they had a couple of weeks ago, they’ve been pretty good.

This evening, I get the following email -

Seemed strange to me, but before I could really look into it, this showed up -

Hi *****,Hello,
Some of you have recently recieved an email claiming to be from switchpod. We are in no way affiliated with shockpod. They are a competing hosting service that has tried to swindle our customers. I apologize for the misleading email.

Switchpod Staff

Thank you,

Interesting way to do business.

The first of the ‘Lunch Dialogues’ is now posted as a podcast. You can access it at the podcast link in the upper right of this page.

It isn’t professional, but it is a start.

You’ll find a new mini-podcast file over in the Podast feed button to the right. The file itself will explain why I am having to post this.

Blah.

Yet Another Update

Podcasting. I’ve spent several days now investigating various means to record Skype conversations and getting the podcast concept down. I think we are about ready to begin.

I sent an inquiry to MMP to see if they would be interested in the Advanced Squad Leader podcast interview, so maybe I’ll hear something soon.

Standby…

Thanks for the replies on the sample podcast. I had enough good feedback to give it another go in the near future. I’ve set up a subscription button on the right hand side, if that helps those that want to stay up to date. I would encourage you to grab a free podcasting program (there are several recommended on my feed page) and give other podcasts a try. I’ve found quite a few good ones out there.

Thanks again.

Podcasting!

I’ve decided to experiment with podcasting. You can check out my first ‘show’ here.

SignOnSanDiego.com> News > State — Schwarzenegger considering suspending school funding guarantee

Ahnuld might be doing the right thing after all! It takes a brave man to stand up against the NEA, especially in Kahlifornia. I would love to see real cuts in education, to force some much needed reform. We’ve been throwing more money at it than any other nation in history, with some of the poorest results. More money won’t fix it. Time to trim it down and find out what works, and that means crushing the union if they won’t help improve it.

Ahnuld wasn’t my candidate, but I’m happy to see him considering acts like this.

My Way News Gore endorses

My Way News

Gore endorses Howard Dean. This is really huge in so many ways. First, in my opinion, it cements the Bush landslide in 2004. Dean is the weakest in the head to head polls against Bush, and his boiling anger and hatred of Bush will not play well with the moderate swing voters. True, Dean fires up the liberal base, but that is really a problem, as the true liberal core of the Democratic party is only about 10-15% of registered Democratic voters. He appeals to the hatemongers of the Democratic Underground, which is a good thing for Bush.

This also unmasks good old ‘centrist’ Gore as a raving leftist looney. If he cannot understand the debacle that is Howard Dean, then he is a prisoner to ideology over practicality. We will go down in great gouts of principled flame. I welcome it.

On another point, how does it feel to be Joe Leiberman? Loyal to the end, even deferring to Gore during his present campaign. Joltin’ Joe said he would step aside if Gore decided to run, and here is his payment for all of that loyalty. Leiberman is hated by his own party as a centrist democrat, and now betrayed by his running mate. I think Joe’s party left him behind as they lurch to the Left.

Finally, Gore has stuck his thumb in the eye of the Clinton power machine. Wesley Clark is the Clinton candidate, and by straying from the plantation, Gore has declared his independence from the Clinton machine. Dean has been a vocal critic of the DNC leadership, all hand-picked by the Felon-in-Chief. Terry MacAullife won’t have a job in a few months, and that is probably good for the Democrats as a whole. I’m sure Hillary is rooting for a Democratic loss to clear the way for her 2008 run, but she still needed her people in charge of the party. Now if Dean goes down in flames, pulling the party into the abyss while putting his own people in charge, the task for Hillary becomes more difficult.

Yes, this endorsment is sending shockwaves through the political landscape. It’s like kicking over an anthill. BUt in the end, I think I’m going to get what I’m dreaming of: a Dean-Bush matchup.
