Saturday, March 26, 2005Conservatives keep sending me mailOne of the most interesting and disturbing aspescts of being a Chuck Baldwin and owning www.chuckbaldwin.com is getting mail most likely intended for Dr. Reverend Chuck Baldwin, the conservative radio talk show host in Pensacola, Florida. His Bush-bashing conservative talk show is allegedly one of the biggest growing radio shows in the South East. His website has a confederate flag waving next to the US flag with a link underneath espousing "The Truth Behind the Confederate Flag." If you are unlucky enough to click the link you are taken to an essay by Pastor John Weaver, wherein he blathers bible quote after bible quote for 1413 words--or 3 pages in Word--before he ever mentions the Confederate flag. Hardly any of it makes sense at all. All of it is irrelavent anyway as regardless of what this man says or believes, the Confederate flag is now the biggest symbol of racism and bigotry in America. Period. No number of bible quotes or psalms will change that. I have been emailing a member of the Constitution Party of Tennessee, a man named Michael Goza, from time to time when he mis-sends another email to me along with a host of conservative media folk. We have actually agreed that we are on the same page for a lot of issues, namely the corruption of our country's leaders, the corporate-profit motive our government's actions, and our disappointment with the American people for blindly following Bush with hardly a question--in the name of American Patriotism. He is as disgusted with the state of America as I am, though we do not agree on any fundamental issues. Kind of spooky. He is a prime example of the religious right that allegedly supported Bush in the election and he is equally disgusted. To his credit he did not support Bush, but rather the Constitution Party's Michael Peroutka for Pres. and Chuck Baldwin for VP. Amazingly, they were the first choice listed on the ballot in California. I kept my absentee ballot because I voted in person--I'm kind of a dork that way, if it says Baldwin or Chuck Baldwin, I'm keeping it. Someday I may get my own name on the ballot, but I'm not old enough, yet. Of course by the time I am, the native born requirement and the 2-term limit will have been replealed and we'll be in the years of Chancellor Schwarzenegger, Supreme Leader of the West. Anyone remember the Fire in the Reichstag? Or should I remind you with the falling of the Twin Towers? Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter... posted @ 12:07 PM PDT [link] [Karma: -2 (+/-)] [No Comments] Friday, March 25, 2005We be jammin'Pussyfoot rocked last night. I picked up GarageBand 2 on the home from work yesterday, because I couldn't stand not having two inputs into GB and I couldn't find ANYone to copy it from. So I broke down and spent the $85. Well worth it though. Ari and I rocked the night away and when we listened to the playback it sounded as good as we thought it would. The best part of GB2 is that now I can plug Ari's bass in and set the sound to his likeing and plug my guitar into the other channel and set the sound to my liking. AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE THE SAME SOUND! A year and a thousand dollars later and I can finally do with GarageBand what I thought all along I'd be able to do. With a few guitar and bass jams in the can, we went back to them one by one and laid down some words--to your mother. It is evident that we need a lyicist. Somebody has got to come up with something for us to say. We apparently can't. posted @ 09:01 PM PDT [link] [Karma: 0 (+/-)] [No Comments] |
