A few things and a podcast update...
I watched both segments when Stephen Colbert went on Bill O'Reiley & vica versa. We already know what an idiot O'Reiley is, but on his own show, Colbert made him look like a fool and on The Colbert Report, SC didn't have to do anything as O'Reiley made himself look dumb. You can catch both clips at Crooks and Liars.
Now...more seriously...Bill O'Reiley has to be fired. Plain & Simple. His disgusting take on the kidnapped kid - that he didn't try to escape because he had a better life with his captor than at home - was...I really can't think of an appropriate word. He has the right to think / say whatever he wants, but Fox should fire his ass.
*********************************************************
Alberto Gonzalez is a fucking moron. He got grilled by Congress today...er...yesterday. And he said that the right of Habeus Corpus is not guaranteed in the Constitiution - only the right of the government to take it away. Arlen Spector came as close to calling him a fucking moron as you could without saying it....and what killed me is Gonzo just chuckled, like it was a joke. You know, I still believe in non-violence, but I swear...if anyone needs to get mauled by a bear, it's this bastard. If there's a god, or karma or whatever, these jokers will all be coming down with long, painful diseases down the road.

OK...podcast news. We got music & permission to play it from Josh Weinstein and Golem as well as new music from AJ Croce & Will Hoge. I'm still trying to get permission from a couple other bands that I really want to use...not giving up yet. I just got a digital camera so we should be posting pictures of us "performing". I'm also working on acquiring a decent digital voice recorder to use for "in the field" stuff - including the war protest in Washington on Jan 27th. Technologically, we're all set except for one little issue with headphones, but I plan on working that out early next week. We get together for a practice taping this Wednesday, with the real thing coming up the Wednesday after. Good times.
