Time... is not on my side. No it ain't!

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 12:58:00 GMT

Just a small note to once again explain that a new show will be late-coming. Company in the home for a week, making it difficult to record! Not to mention just the fact it's summer vacation!

But you are not forgotten, my dear listeners, and I have responses to all the wonderful feedback received from the last show (please, check the comments in last entry!). Also have more things to get off my chest....

Will be back soon! Who knows maybe I'll just make my company my next show guests!

My guest for the show is ScottyJ, and we take a serious turn this time and talk religion.

Ran a little long on this one, a bit over an hour, but wanted to get it all in one episode. Hope you enjoy, and please understand that the intent here is simply to question, and not to offend.

TS Special Edition: Dani Goes To A Tea Party

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 22:00:00 GMT

Happy Tax Day! I'm sure everyone knows about all the wonderful Tea Parties taking place across the US (which regardless of what anyone says about the mainstream media, still received way more attention than ANY Iraq War protest).

There happened to be a gathering here in Gilbert, so I went to see what all the hub-bub was about. Yesterday I wrote about the Tea Parties and my curiosity about where all these protesters were the past 8 years. So today I decided to be a bystander and gather some audio.

Photos too!

TS Special Edition: Same Sex Marriage

Wed, 8 Apr 2009 22:30:00 GMT

Not a long show- but something I had to share. This is an interview from today's Democracy Now with a 12-year old girl who testified in Vermont supporting her mother's right to marry her partner.

Vermont overturned the governor's veto, therefore same sex marriage will become legal in yet another state.

This topic is very important to me personally, and this interview is exactly what we need more of- hearing from the voices of those who are in loving families of same-sex parents.

This will always be an equal-rights issue, no matter how those against same sex marriage try and muddy the waters with their skewed ideas of what is moral.

Spread the word, let these voices be heard!

Live From Podcamp AZ

Tue, 4 Nov 2008 07:02:00 GMT

Happy Election Day! Wanted to make sure I got the audio from my live podcast at Podcamp AZ in so it was still semi-relevant.

This was a great talk with Dan from Love Long and Prosper, and everyone's favorite guest ScottyJ. We cover the presidential candidates, and several of Arizona's propositions that are going to be decided on. Today, even!

Keep watching the feed because I will be recording from the polling line, and getting an 11-yr-old perspective on the voting process. No, not Scotty- my daughter is coming to the polls with us!

Then tonight- starting at 7pm eastern, head to the live chat on the forum, and spend the evening with us as we watch all the results trickle in!

It's more fun than any sporting event I've ever seen!!!

Sun, 2 Nov 2008 02:36:00 GMT

So if you've been watching the Twitter feed, you know I am participating in Podcamp AZ this weekend. What an awesome day it was- and I get to do it all again tomorrow!

At any rate, I haven't had a chance to see what's going on around here, I will catch up after the weekend I promise. Until then, I wanted you all to know that tomorrow afternoon I will be doing a 30 minute live show from Podcamp! I will probably talk more about local issues, like our ballot propositions, but I'd love it if you all could tune in and check it out!

It's a video cast too- though I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing. ;-)

Tomorrow (Sunday) at 3:30 mtn time (5:30 eastern- remember to put those clocks back everyone else (AZ doesn't do that daylight saving thing!))

Show Nominated For Another Award

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 16:12:00 GMT

I'm really glad someone emails me about these things- otherwise I'd never know!

Yes, Seekers, the show has been nominated for another award. This one is the Podcast Award, which is also called the "People's Choice" award, since anyone can vote!

I must be doing something right, because I never in a brazillion years would have expected to be nominated for such a popular award. Frankly I'm up against so many great shows, well, let's just say I'm practicing my "It's good just to be nominated" speech. ;-)

You can see all the nominated shows in all of the categories right here:

Voting begins On Thursday (the 23rd). You can vote once-a-day, every day through November 6th.

Thanks to those who nominated me- it means a lot. It always does. :-)

TS60: Words Have Consequences Pt. 1

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 23:45:00 GMT

Back from San Diego- and realized I had no time to write a show this week.

Soooo.... I called up my partner in crime Dave and we chatted for a bit, because it's easier to talk to someone else with no script than alone. A bit ended up being an hour and a half! The hate machine kept churning over the past couple of weeks, so we started in on that, and began listening to voicemail from Nobilis. There is PLENTY more coming in part 2, but for now I give you Part 1.

A topic that has received a lot of discussion on the forums, important enough to bring as the subject of this week's show. With this presidential election we have a great opportunity to keep the discussion of race, racism, and hate in America where it should be- at the forefront. So let's do it.

Yeah, it's just not happening this week

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 03:58:00 GMT

I tried to get a show together. Really, I did. The day job takes precedent however (the day job being mom), and on top of drowning in Girl Scout adventures, I'm also drowning in teeny, tiny, extremely annoying little lice bugs. I mean- ew. The bug problem is under control, but that doesn't stop all the upkeep that needs to happen until it's completely wiped out. So it's been another week of catching up with- well, I don't even know what I'm trying to catch up with. All I know is by the end of the day, the last thing I find myself wanting to do, is get a show together.

So, not this week. I am happy to say that there is the beginning of a show in the works. I've been thinking a lot about recent discussions in the forum about race and white privilege, and that's what the topic will be.

I would like to get it out before next Thursday.

I'd like a lot of things.

However, the realistic side of me knows better. I do promise that you will be the first to know when the new show is up!

Thanks as always for listening, and you'll hear me again soon!

The next two episodes are going to be Convention-focused. This week the Dems were up, next week the Reps. There are several clips from Demoracy Now that I am playing on the show, as they seemed to give the best coverage, as well as a different perspective that isn't clouded over with the same talking points.

*Opening: Tavis Smiley on Expectations
*The plan for the next two shows
*DN Clip #1- general overview of convention center
- What's happening outside the convention center
- "Free Speech Cage" Really?
*DN Clip #2- the AT&T Party

- Well, the Republicans don't care really
- Glenn Greenwald talks about telecom immunity
*Homework Assignment: Get all parties included in Presidential Debates!
- Click HERE for all the details, all the work is done. Just copy, paste, repeat.
*DN Clip #3- Talking to delegates in the Convention Center. They are very well trained!
- I do heart Kucinich, but I think his efforts are futile. He's too independent to be a Democrat!
- Here's a thought: No Labels!
*DN Clip #4- More protests. Also a good game of "Who's the Cop?"
*Feedback!
- email from a new listener in the DC area
- Girl Scout Wiki Page
- Black Agenda Report
- Oh sure, agree with Nobilis! ;-)
- Some answers to the question "Would we have gone to Iraq under a Gore Presidency?"

New Episode August 6th!

Fri, 1 Aug 2008 14:01:00 GMT

Hey friends! Just a quick update to let you all know that I am home from all my world travels! It's been a great summer, but I am ready to get back to seeking that truth, and bring you my version of it.

I've been thinking a lot about how to improve on the show, and I think one way to help keep the news I bring listeners current is to attempt a weekly show. Yes, weekly! Now, we know me and my skills of procrastination, which is why I say attempt. We'll see what happens...

At any rate, episode #52, and a whole new "season" of Truth Seekers begins August 6th!

See you soon!

~Dani

PS- Podcasters! I'm looking for promos! If you would like to have your promo played on the show, I'd be honored to do so.

TS Special Edition: Getting Snarky!

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 21:28:00 GMT

Hey friends! I'm writing to you from Kansas, well into my big-ass road trip. We're having a pretty good time, and if you've been following around on the mamacutler blog, then there is no need to repeat the happenings!

Anyway, while I've been away, a new podcast friend of mine, The Snarky Avenger, posted an interview he did with me a few weeks ago, and I'd like to share it with all of you. We touch a little bit on this podcast, but the bulk of it is the other side of Dani, the voice acting and audio addict side!

You can visit The Snarky Avenger and check out his show Snark Invested Waters over at http://thesnarkyavenger.com/.

Enjoy! Hope everyone's summer is off to a good start, and I'll catch you all later!

The show no one's been waiting for! Since the goal of Valentine's Day is sex, it's the perfect time to talk about it. Scotty J returns to chat it up, and we attempt to figure out why the hell the US is so repressed and afraid of something that is as commonplace as food.

Warning: Listening to this episode could cause blindness and hairy palms. I also cannot express just how NOT worksafe this show is. If you are offended by just about anything regarding sex, I'd skip this one. As a matter of fact, if you just plain get offended easily, I'd skip it.

Oh yeah, you're all gonna listen. ;-)

TS42.5: Not The Speech You Expect

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 15:01:00 GMT

In honor of Martin Luther King's birthday 79 years ago today, a speech originally given in 1967. Also one I personally think encompasses what he was about even more than his "I Have A Dream" speech.

"I Have A Dream", made popular by the media, I feel because it was the easiest for white America. This speech is much more telling of the times and the viewpoints of Dr. King. A perspective that can still ring hauntingly true today in many instances. Yes, we've come far, but we as a country still have far to go when it comes to race relations.

Enjoy, and peace.

A Podcast Every Day For 30 Days?

Thu, 1 Nov 2007 03:54:00 GMT

Well... this will be challenging but fun. Why you all will see daily postings in the feed starting in about 10 minutes:

"In the spirit of NaNoWriMo, NaVloPoMo, NaBloPoMo we've decided to start NaPodPoMo - National Podcast Post Month.

Beginning November 1st the quest is to podcast everyday (including weekends) for 30 Days. Feel free to be as creative as you want. Any audio format is acceptable. From Jott to Utterz to BlogTalkRadio etc... Use a phone, an iRiver (or comparable) or a good old fashioned microphone. It can last from 1 minute to 1 hour or more. It's entirely up to you. Use whatever tools you have at your disposal. The whole point is to just get your podcast out each and every day for 30 days starting on November 1st."

I figured since I record daily for KWSS anyway, all I really need to do is fill the weekends, and I'm set! So, first post for the month will be Episode #39!

Big News! Joining Far Point Media!

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 17:35:00 GMT

I've been mulling this over since June, then at the Podcast and New Media expo I discovered that others were plotting my assimilation into the Far Point family! So... papers are signed, and the process is all ready beginning.

What is that process? I'm not entirely sure, but I know it involves moving servers and files and such. What does it mean for you, dear listeners? I have no idea.

Yet.

But I will keep you ever-informed, as I always do. :-)

Check out all the awesome shows on Far Point Media, I bet you will recognize one or two I'm sure!!

Recording Difficulties

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 20:37:00 GMT

Well, I tried to find time and a place to record this week while my company is in town. It's not happening. I haven't even had a chance to recoup after our trip to Kansas, as I became sick and company arrived two days after we returned home.

Tuesday the house is empty again. I hope to get show #38 to you as soon as I can after that. I'm really sorry, fellow seekers. :-(

I have so many voicemails from nearly a month ago.. it's to the point I might have to skip some of them in order to get back on track. I'll take a look at everything once I can breathe again. It would kill me to do it, but with seeking we must move forward, or we don't have a chance at any truth.

As always thanks for listening, and you will definitely hear me again soon! Hey- here are a couple of places that you can hear me now, if you miss me that much!

*Women in Podcasting Panel from the New Media Expo
*Escape Pod
*Pseudopod
*Dream Realm's Siren Song (ok I'm only the intro- but it's a good story!)

Truth Seekers a Finalist for Podcast Peer Award

Sun, 15 Jul 2007 20:30:00 GMT

I found out some really cool news- a couple of months ago my dear friends Twilight and Thebes nominated Truth Seekers for a Podcast Peer Award. It was a sweet thing to do, but to be honest? I didn't really give it much thought after that. Maybe I was still heartbroken over the silliness of the Radio Talent Contest...

I found out today that I have made it to the finals, along with two other great shows in the politics category! Yay TS!

So, if you are a podcaster, head over to the PPA site now and give me a vote. (There is a short registration process). While you are there, give a vote for all the other great casts that made it to the finals as well. What I'm finding is what makes this award special is that fellow podcasters are the ones giving our shows the nod- it's a nice feeling to know that you are well-thought of among your peers.

Thanks everyone!

TS31.1: Independence Day Present

On this day, when we are all out at our BBQ's and drinking our beers and watching those fireworks while waving the flag, it is my wish everyone takes pause to really consider some things about our country today.

A gift to all the Seekers- a poem I always think of during this holiday. Mostly out of amazement that his words can still ring so true today.

Enjoy, and I hope I didn't butcher it too much!

Truth Seekers Reviewed!

Thu, 3 May 2007 22:46:00 GMT

Hey everyone! Just jumping in for a quick note here while I've got a house full of family. I wanted to tell everyone that Truth Seekers has been reviewed by Bruce C (no, not the Bruce C over on the message board) of Podcaster Who's Who! WooHOO!

He had some very nice things to say about my little show, and it was so great to hear a review from someone that I don't really know. It just made it seem like the show really has some value. (Not that I don't value my friend's opinions, but you know what I mean.) ;-)

You can listen to the review at the link below- it's only a few minutes long.

TS Music Special: Bad Dog No Biscuit

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 07:02:00 GMT

Hey seekers! I had the most AWESOME of interviews at the station tonight (well at this point it is last night), and I want to introduce the band to you! It was really great- Steve is quite a guy and I loved his thoughts about getting back to a more cultural music scene.

All songs are by Bad Dog No Biscuit, an R&B/Funk/ Blues/ Latin band. You can find out more about them at their website:

http://www.baddognobiscuit.net/

And hear tunes on their myspace page:

http://www.myspace.com/badogrecords

The recording is a bit choppy- I let it run here at home when I was at the station. The whole thing is about 45 minutes- and it completely rocks.

So, enjoy the brake from politics!

TS Special: The Update Before Christmas

Sat, 23 Dec 2006 03:17:00 GMT

A little holiday present for everyone- three weeks ago a thread began on the Podcast Pickle forums. Two amazing podcasters wanted to show some love to a great podcast directory and community. It turns out that many other podcasters wanted to show some love as well. This was the result. Enjoy!

The Update Before Christmas by Wesley Clifford and Will Ross
Adapted from the Poem "The Night Before Christmas" By Clement Clark Moore

Twas the night before Christmas, and all 'cross the net, (Wintersheart)
No RSS updates, and so no shows to get. (Mr. Bob)
The iPods were docked to the computers with care, (Barely Podcasting)
In hopes that P Dilly soon would be there. (TVindy)

All the Casters were nestled all snug in their beds, (Brother Osric)
While visions of Microphones danced in their heads. (mrsb)
And mamma in her ipod, 80 gigs vast (Rubberhead)
We had just settled in to finish our casts. (Laurence Simon)

When on my computer the hard drive did clatter, (Blissfully Unfulfilled)
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. (Juliann)
Fingers on my keyboard they flew like a flash, (Laieanna)
It'd just be my luck if Windows did crash. (Eclectic Mix)

But the moon through the window on my computer below, (Twilight)
showed an empty podcatcher, with not a one show. (comedy4cast)
But then, what to my wondering eyes should appear, (DiggersStory)
But a great giant pickle, and eight tiny reindeer! (Dani)

With a little old driver, so lively and quick, (Philosophy Guy)
I knew in a moment it must be St Pick! (Zedcaster)
More rapid than broadband his casters they came, (Geek Acres)
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name! (Tony -FanboySmackdown)

Now Rob Walsh! Now Ely! Now Hutchins and Sigler! (Mostly News)
On Clinton, On Ellis! On Leo and Digger! (Brother Osric)
And down through the modem, through the firewall! (Lynnette from SCRAPcast)
Now download 'em! Download 'em! Download 'em all!" (Jen and Corey)

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, (KevinLeeC)
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. (Planet Retcon)
So up to the rooftop the casters they flew, (SysTris)
With the jar full of Casts, and P Dilly too. (KC Weather)

I heard on the rooftop, the shows I loved most! (Mostly News)
The talking and laughing of each beloved host! (Dani)
As I drew in my head, and was turning around, (Thats good to know)
Down the chimney P Dilly came with a bound. (Brother Osric)

He was dressed all in green, from his head to his foot, (Shelly)
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. (Zedcaster)
A bundle of Feeds he had flung on his back, (Slusy)
And he looked like a pickle, like a podcasting snack. (PNR Mikey)

His eyes-how they twinkled! Green pimples how merry! (The Right Rev Chumley)
His cheeks were like roses, his nose a green cherry! (Dry Shave, Karen)
He held a wide smile, from his nose to his chin. (RL Burt)
And the beard that he wore, was green as a gherkin. (the Keeme)

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, (Allie)
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. (John)
He had a green face and a little round belly, (The Diva)
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. (Laieanna)

He was chubby and plump, with a jar full of pickles, (Mrs b )
And I laughed when I saw him, just like i'd been tickled! (Blissfully Unfulfilled)
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, (The Half (Me-Saj) )
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. (The Half (Jason) )

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, (Eclectic Mix)
And filled all the ipods, then turned with a jerk. (Comedy4Cast)
And laying his finger aside of his nose, (KevinLeeC)
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose! (Worlds of Wayne)

He sprang to his sleigh, and the podcasters whistled, (Brother Osric)
And away they all flew like guided cruise missile. (Barely Podcasting)
But I heard him exclaim, âere he drove out of sight, (Random)
"Happy Podding to all, and to all a good-night!"

(Links to all the podcasters involved can be found in the show notes, for those of you using your podcatchers!)

Time: 4 min. 11 sec.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

TS19: The No-Fly Holiday Show

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 20:45:00 GMT

Because itâs so close to Christmas, I shook up the format for this episode a bit. Since I began the podcast in March, this is my first holiday of podcasting- I hope everyone enjoys it!

I apologize for the horrendous audio quality. I have audio from my travels to Boston the first week of December- and how they were halted halfway through for a day in Chicago. Then the interview with Bruce is not the best quality, though with all of it I tried to clean it up the best I can. (Note to Santa: iRiver? Please? I think Iâve been good, though donât talk to _______ and ______, and most certainly not _______, - ok?)

Hereâs the rundown:

-Intro: Mostly News

-Promo: Public Nuisance Radio

-Live from Chicago, and the truth about being incoherent at 5 in the morning.

- Song: Re-gifting for the holidays

-Chicago part two: Time flies when youâre listening to a podcast

-Deep thought about computer over-abundance

-Please donât mace him!

-watch lists and no fly lists and the government, oh my!

-will she ever leave the Windy City?

- Song: Sick of Christmas (sung by Santa)

-Podcast Pickle, and how awesome the number 57 is.

-last installment of my interview with Bruce Carter. Still chock full of great discussion. We cover Race, class, and my love/hate relationship with Lou Dobbs, the sham war on terror, and sham Democrats who still acknowledge a War on Terror, and tons more!

(for those who might want to jump ahead (but really, who would want to?), the interview portion is 35 minutes)

-Donât forget that voicemail line! 206-350-0669

-Final Song: Sleigh Ride by the Hipcola

All songs can be found on the podsafe music network

Merry Christmas!! See you in 2007!

TS18.3: From The Stupid Files

TS18.2: Her name is flu, and she's a bitch

Thu, 7 Dec 2006 16:49:00 GMT

TS18.1: AZ Voter Turnout

Thu, 7 Dec 2006 16:33:00 GMT

Back by popular demand- it's the Truth-seeking supplement!

Ok.. really my sister was wondering what had happened to them, but she is popular in my book!

The results of the voter turnout here in Arizona are in, and it's quite positive for a non-presidential election. Though I'm such a perfectionist, why can't it be 100%?

Time: 1min. 43 sec.

TS18: Arizona- It's The New Canada!

Tue, 21 Nov 2006 23:46:00 GMT

Yes folks, it's snowbird season down here... it's a sea of RV's, Cadillacs, and people who can't see over their steering wheel while driving 25 mph in a 40, and weaving.

But enough about me. Actually a good portion of them are Canadian. No wonder there is a gravy shortage!

Then I switch from stereotyping the elderly to ranting about racial issues, and a particular interview on CNN that sort of ticked me off. Here's the lowdown:

*Opening from Daryl at the Poddog Show
*A teaser of a new podiobook coming your way from Tee Morris
*Glenn Beck Interview
*Message Board thread
*Campaign Ad Article
*Deep Holiday Thoughts
*Bruce talks about taking on the Teamsters Union, as well as Iraq and what drove him to speak out politically again.

Thu, 9 Nov 2006 22:30:00 GMT

Episode #17:

Here it is Seekers- I take you on my voting-journey where I spew hate towards the two men who kept me up WAY too long the night before, as well as hate for the Kia Sedona, and the weather in November. So many people called in to tell me their voting experiences, and I play them all throughout the show. It was all too interesting not to play! Hereâs the rundown:

- Tee Morris co-author of Podcasting for Dummies, and host of The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy says VOTE!

-Charles from Mostly News talks voting in Texas

-I rant while putting gas in my van

-- one of the men I curse

-My last observation on the whole thing, and can someone get me a Jumbo Jack with Cheese?

-Sherri (whom I used to work with back in my legal assistant days) from Chandler AZ

-Jamie and Joe from Afterhell join me for a quick chat from up in OR

-Karen from Kalifornia, from, well... California!

-Melodee (always makes me smile when family calls in!) from NYC

-Omar (again, love that family!) from San Diego

-I talk about Tee Morris some more, and the guilt trip I took him on

-Letâs throw in a Deep Thought

-So are we a liberal nation or not?

-Aaron from The Big Show- heâs simply fabulous!

-what I think of the Presidentâs statement about the election

-Kick it! Mp3âs killed the radio star. Cruisebox takes us out this time. Do I play the clean or explicit version?

(sorry about the crappy quality on this one.)

Flu shot: Yay or Nay?

Thu, 26 Oct 2006 18:30:00 GMT

I certainly agree that a flu shot is necessary if you are in a high-risk group, but is not getting one actually endangering others?

*Who should be vaccinated?

If you needed a reason NOT to vote for someone...

Thu, 26 Oct 2006 18:20:00 GMT

This is one of the best reason's I can think of. This goes beyond dirty politics, it's offensive and insulting.

It's sad when you have nothing to run a campaign on.

(Can you tell this has pissed me off?)

A Tillman Speaks, and the Libertarians are shunned

Wed, 25 Oct 2006 19:56:00 GMT

Pat Tillman's brother Kevin's amazing letter to the public- and is worth putting the entire text of here. Also, third party candidates are not allowed to participate in congressional debates. Bad form Hillary, really bad form.

After Pat's Birthday

By Kevin Tillman

It is Pat's birthday on November 6, and elections are the day after. It gets me thinking about a conversation I had with Pat before we joined the military. He spoke about the risks with signing the papers. How once we committed, we were at the mercy of the American leadership and the American people. How we could be thrown in a direction not of our volition. How fighting as a soldier would leave us without a voiceÃÂÂ until we get out.

Much has happened since we handed over our voice:

Somehow we were sent to invade a nation because it was a direct threat to the American people, or to the world, or harbored terrorists, or was involved in the September 11 attacks, or received weapons-grade uranium from Niger, or had mobile weapons labs, or WMD, or had a need to be liberated, or we needed to establish a democracy, or stop an insurgency, or stop a civil war we created that can't be called a civil war even though it is. Something like that.

Somehow America has become a country that projects everything that it is not and condemns everything that it is.

Somehow our elected leaders were subverting international law and humanity by setting up secret prisons around the world, secretly kidnapping people, secretly holding them indefinitely, secretly not charging them with anything, secretly torturing them. Somehow that overt policy of torture became the fault of a few bad apples in the military.

Somehow back at home, support for the soldiers meant having a five-year-old kindergartener scribble a picture with crayons and send it overseas, or slapping stickers on cars, or lobbying Congress for an extra pad in a helmet. It's interesting that a soldier on his third or fourth tour should care about a drawing from a five-year-old; or a faded sticker on a car as his friends die around him; or an extra pad in a helmet, as if it will protect him when an IED throws his vehicle 50 feet into the air as his body comes apart and his skin melts to the seat.

Somehow the more soldiers that die, the more legitimate the illegal invasion becomes.

Somehow American leadership, whose only credit is lying to its people and illegally invading a nation, has been allowed to steal the courage, virtue and honor of its soldiers on the ground.

Somehow those afraid to fight an illegal invasion decades ago are allowed to send soldiers to die for an illegal invasion they started.

Somehow faking character, virtue and strength is tolerated.

Somehow profiting from tragedy and horror is tolerated.

Somehow the death of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people is tolerated.

Somehow subversion of the Bill of Rights and The Constitution is tolerated.

Somehow suspension of Habeas Corpus is supposed to keep this country safe.

Somehow torture is tolerated.

Somehow lying is tolerated.

Somehow reason is being discarded for faith, dogma, and nonsense.

Somehow American leadership managed to create a more dangerous world.

Somehow a narrative is more important than reality.

Somehow America has become a country that projects everything that it is not and condemns everything that it is.

Somehow the most reasonable, trusted and respected country in the world has become one of the most irrational, belligerent, feared, and distrusted countries in the world.

Somehow being politically informed, diligent, and skeptical has been replaced by apathy through active ignorance.

Somehow the same incompetent, narcissistic, virtueless, vacuous, malicious criminals are still in charge of this country.

Somehow this is tolerated.

Somehow nobody is accountable for this.

In a democracy, the policy of the leaders is the policy of the people. So don't be shocked when our grandkids bury much of this generation as traitors to the nation, to the world and to humanity. Most likely, they will come to know that somehow was nurtured by fear, insecurity and indifference, leaving the country vulnerable to unchecked, unchallenged parasites.

Luckily this country is still a democracy. People still have a voice. People still can take action. It can start after Pat's birthday.

Brother and Friend of Pat Tillman,

Kevin Tillman

A full-size episode to keep you entertained while I head out of town for a week. But it's worth a listen, because I get a little change of perspective on that issue of mine that keeps popping up out of nowhere, smoking.

As usual, it takes a Canadian to get me to think. No, not that Canadian.

Then Dave and I finish our talk from like, two weeks ago. We cover alot of good ground I think.
-unlikely news sources
-gas prices go down, therefore President Bush must totally rock!
-Insanefilms.com and some disturbing video. Military bombings set to death metal.
-Is Osama fab today?
-Healthcare- right or privilege?
-Protecting society as a whole
-Rich is overrated.

Are We Really Protecting Marriage?

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 03:35:00 GMT

I am working on the next show- but I've been a busy little dissenter. Say hello to the voice of the evening (hey it's better than lady!) on kqcx FM here in a town just a little south of the spiderhole, Queen Creek. Mostly bringing an awesome and very eclectic mix of alternative music, I do get the occasional chance to get some politics off my chest. I thought I would add them as supplements in the podcast feed.

It will probably be local Arizona news for the most part, but true to the term "show notes", I will give you the head's up so you can decide whether to satisfy that curiousity or not.

Tonight, I spoke a little bit about the Protect Marriage Arizona Act, which basically make marriage between a man and a woman. The ramifications, however, go much further than a gay marriage ban.

Also, I have a belated Happy Labor Day for you, followed by the final installment of my talk with Jack. (I figure we are ALL on first-name basis by now!) ;-)

Had so much to say I even skipped the headlines this time, but I have a challenge out there for you...
Also, part two of my chat with Jack Ward about ideas, and Ideas the radio show. I need to apologize because this recording suddenly became REALLY crappy, and no matter what I did I couldn't get rid of it.

All of this recorded during an early morning thunderstorm, so I have background music!

Tue, 20 Jun 2006 14:08:00 GMT

Oh what a show! First I hear an amazing episode of a podcast at the gym that nearly causes me to fall off my stairmaster. What listening DID do is get me to race home, and change my entire intro and promo to this podcast. (which I will definitely use for the next episode- but this podcast was great and it was one of those instant inspiration things!)

Then, the first of my two-part interview with my first conservative guest. It was such a great interview, I had to split it because we chatted so long! This is also my first time stepping out of my normal comfy zone of network friends.... and ya know I didn't do half bad. ;-)
