Thanks for not boring us to tears :)

A couple of points:

I agree that it’s ridiculous what politics has come to. The politicians these days don’t tell us what they stand for; they tell us they stand against! When the Conservatives speak about policy these days, they blame the Liberals for Kyoto, for fiscal mismanagement, and for just about anything else they can pass the buck on. But it isn’t limited to the Liberal Party. The Ontario Liberals Liar-in-chief Dalton McGuinty, the slimiest salesman since Mel Lastman to be in charge of a large group of people, has consistently blamed the Conservatives for everything from not shutting down coal plants, to raising taxes on Ontarioans after promising not to.

I agree that voting is a waste of time, especially in this FPP representation we currently have. This means that every time I cast a vote for the Green Party, I may as well be pissing on a telephone pole in a vacant alley. It has no effect whatsoever, and the fact that the Bloc is able to represent their Party Federally in debates and interviews, while the Greens are relegated to special interest stories in the back pages of newspapers, shows that there is no political accountability, and there is no political freedom for the minority voice. Tyranny of the majority indeed. Democracy is a sham.

I also find it amusing that people link the violence in Iraq as the exploitation of terrorists to influence midterm elections in the U.S.A. The megalomania of this nation is unsurpassed in either gall or audacity.

Now that’s just plain depressing, I don’t think I’ll ever get the process down so pat that I could crank out a 1 hour podcast in 30 minutes…. bunker lore talks about that great general who was so fast he could do 1/2 an hour in 20 minutes but until now I had discounted it as impossible :-)
