#147 God Hates Fags

June 16th, 2008 No Comments

Why should I vote for Obama?

June 3rd, 2008 6 Comments

Okay, how do I put this?  Please, some Independent stand up and run for President.  The Democratic National Committee and national news media have made Barack Obama the presumptive presidential nominee.  Let’s face some facts:

Hillary Clinton has (arguably) won the popular vote. (It’s damn near 50/50)
The Senators have only 120 delegates separating them this minute out of about 2,100. [...]

Social Media Gone Mad

April 7th, 2008 2 Comments

How much is too much in social networking?  In the last two weeks I have been invited to join two more sites, Pulse and Tagged.  Okay, so I can be found at ClassMates.com, LinkedIn, MySpace, FaceBook, cabes.ws, jasoncable.com, and SecondLife.  How many more of these sites do we really need?  I have one for people [...]

Shutdown

March 5th, 2008 1 Comment

Tonight on TV I was reminded of one of the many reasons that homophobia is so rampant in the United States.  When some people hear that another person, especially a family member, is gay they just shutdown.  The immediate reaction is to shutout what we don’t understand and what we don’t want to understand.  One [...]

facebook convert

February 26th, 2008 1 Comment

Well, for all you facebook fans, especially those not in the US, I have created my own facebook page.  It goes to show that we ALL have things to learn about this new media stuff (podcasting, blogging, social networking, etc.).  At Podcamp Toronto, I learned that for my Canadian listeners that having a facebook group/page [...]

Podcamp Toronto Wrapup

February 25th, 2008 1 Comment

I hate a great time at Podcamp Toronto.  It was great meeting everyone.   This was my first time out of town for non-work, non-family reasons in about 2 1/2 years.  Suffice it to say, I needed a weekend away.  I got to come out of my shell and meet many new people.  Still, I’m [...]

Just one more Kennedy endorsement…

February 4th, 2008 No Comments

I know I’ve been going all political lately. If you don’t like it, don’t read. If I hear of one more Kennedy family endorsement of a Democratic political candidate, I will scream. So, as it stands: Caroline Kennedy-Schlosberg, Ted Kennedy, and Maria Kennedy-Shriver-Schwarzenegger for Obama; Bobby Kennedy’s three children for Clinton. [...]

“The Debate” that BLEW me away

January 31st, 2008 No Comments

Actually, tonight’s debate on CNN was more like who was blowing who off and on.  There wasn’t much of a debate.  The political pundits all were saying that this would be an explosive confrontation between Senators Clinton and Obama. They were, as usual, WRONG.  To me, Hillary presented herself wonderfully.  It’s hard to find any [...]

Well, I know many of you are aching for more podcast episodes… they’re coming. The big news is that I’ll be taking a long weekend and heading up to Toronto (yes, I have a passport) for their second PodCamp. I desperately need a long weekend and this will hopefully provide me with a [...]

Revamping Primary Elections

January 7th, 2008 1 Comment

Ok, what does a queer kid from PA know about the US election system?  The answer: more than you probably do.  It seems to me that all this pandering about the Iowa Caucus “results” is helping to sway voters on their way to legitimate elections, primaries.  In this free democracy of ours, we’ve established that [...]
