Getting things up and running

Well, the mixer is all set up and now I’m just working on getting the mics levels and positioning set up all right and stuff. These Mics are SUPER sensitive. I had April go down the hall and in the bathroom and I told her to say something is a soft voice. I could totally hear it clearly. I also didn’t realize how loud a analog clock can be. I also know that the little bubble maker for my fish tank is a lot louder then I once thought. I was playing around with the idea of recording everything on my mac, but I doubt it’ll happen, mostly because I don’t want to headdive into territory that I’m not familiar with. Plus I just love cool edit pro too much and unfortuneately it’s on the pc and not the mac. Why is is that when you set stuff up that has cables involved there’s absolutely no easy way to make everything look functional and somehow achieve a organized tidy look? Who knows, it’s a mystery to me. I still need to overhaul the new website in Dreamweaver…I built it using Golive, but unfortuneately the switch leaves a lot to be desired in respect to the code and display between the two programs. It’s a real pain in the ass, but it’s my pain in the ass. Actually it won’t be that bad, I’m just glad I got the files at home now so that I can actually load the site up and running when I get all the kinks worked out. I got an email from Ben stating that he is considered getting better recording equipment, he’s gonna do some shopping around to see what he can afford. I’d love to see him pick up something like a 256 mb IRIVER. You can record probably like two hours or something with good audio quality. I also think the griffin lapel mic would be good for him, I mean the quality is a little “tinny” but it sure beats the low low quality of the iPod. April and I recorded a ponderplace kitchen segment last night. I’ll probably do some editing..like editing out the sound of me chopping up chicken for like twenty minutes. Damn we need better knives. Seriously though, our knives suck a lot. It wouldn’t even be that hard to actually get nicer knives it’s just a matter of ever remembering when we’re in the position to buy knives…typically we only think about it when we are using the knives. This is frustrating. Maybe I need a sword or something. I could be like Belushi when he portraed Samurai Delicatescen or however you spell it. Good times. Good times indeed.

Think before you speak...better yet just don't speak at all

Everyone’s favorite squinty eyed Pentecostal televangelist Pat Robertson may have pushed the envelope a little too far recently. On Monday’s 700 club tele-evangelism power hour Robertson said in regards to Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez:

"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson told viewers on his "The 700 Club" show Monday. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."

Robertson believes that Chavez is planning to spread communism and Islamic communism throughout the United States. President Chavez was said recently he believes the United States is trying to assassinate him, challenging the U.S. by threats of shutting off oil flow from Venezuela to the U.S. This would account for more then 10% of all U.S. oil imports. Robertson went on to say:

"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," Robertson said. "We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

The United States has denied such allegations in the past. Policy issues during the administrations of President Reagan and Ford banned assassinations for political purposes.

Robertson has made statements of similar proportion in the past. During the presidential campaign last October, Robertson told CNN that during a meeting with President Bush that he believed there would be no casualties. Even the white house strongly denied this claim. Then again they have a history of denying claims. Among other various statements of similar magnitude Robertson claimed that:

"Maybe we need a very small nuke thrown off on Foggy Bottom to shake things up,"

Robertson was referring to The State Department’s via its nickname. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher called the remark “Despicable”

Robertson is just an interesting individual altogether. Born Marion Gordon Robertson on March 22, 1930 in Lexington Virginia, at a young age he was given the nickname of “Pat” by his brother who would pat him on the cheeks as a baby saying “pat pat pat”. When Robertson became older he considered the two names he was referred to and decided to go with Pat because Marion was too effeminate. Now to me trying to figure out if Pat or Marion is too effeminate is kind of like trying to distinguish black from navy in the middle of the night in a lightless cave. Regardless, Patricia…I mean Pat… graduated with honors from Washington and Lee University …served in the marine core reserves, and then found Jesus. After acquainting himself with the Lord Patty…er...uh...Pat established the Christian Broadcasting Network which now is seen over 180 countries and in 71 languages.

Robertson announced he would contend for the republican nomination for President of the United States in 1988 running on a very conservative ticket…hmm shocking eh? Although he mustered a large following and budget his presidential dreams would not be. The demise of his campaign came when we referred to himself as a combat marine who served in the Korean War. Either Robertson was extremely stupid or just not aware what the definition of the word combat was. Apparently fellow marines serving with Patsy were outraged stating that Robertson never saw a day in the combat environment in his life. Not only that, but Robertson’s CHIEF responsibility was supplying alcoholic beverages for his officers. His political career simply went kaput. Robertson turned to political activism speaking out against feminism, homosexuality and liberalism.

Regardless of lying about his military record, preaching against feminism, homosexuality, liberalism, and making sure his name did not reflect a effeminate quality, George W. Bush….Pat Robertson rather… is doing quite fine financially with an estimated net worth of $200 million dollars. Perhaps Mr. Robertson should not be so effeminate and request other the government to assassinate President Chavez; perhaps Robertson should be a man about it and settle things himself. Last time I checked $200 million can buy a gun and a bullet. Then again it’s a lot easier to make claims and statements on a television show where many of the networks on which it airs needs disclaimers to legally protect itself from the views expressed. Settle things man to man Robertson, I mean you’ve had military training and you’ve seen combat…no no wait that was a lie.

What's up y'all?

Nuf said...what's up?

First REAL post

Hey everybody in listener land and all that accidentilly got here looking for animal porn....See I bet that simple mention to animal porn right there will accidentilly attract hundreds..nay...thousands of viewers to this blog just because I typed the words "animal porn" Come to think of it, it's a little sad that by only typing "animal porn" I can attract all these freaky people that I doubt will have much interest in the ponderplace, mostly because of the lack of "animal porn" When you think about it It's pretty sad that my first real post I can't get beyond a random thought of my first sentence in which I made a hopefully slightly observation about the drawing power of "animal porn". Sometimes I sicken myself how my mind goes on these tangents like these. I mean I was going to tell you all about some of the stuff I'm working on for the new edition of the ponderplace, and here I start babbling referring to "ANIMAL PORN".
I certainly have no intention of doing a show involving any aspect of violating any animals. In fact I can honestly say that I hope in the new run of the ponderplace we don't kill any animals. Well...any more animals so to speak that we killed during the first edition...Not that we killed any...well..many...ok...i'm pretty sure the goat was already dead...None the less, we will harm no animals unless they harm us first, which in that case we shall destroy every fiber of their being, hunt their family and then eat them. Hmm...i think a segway is neccessary now. Hmm..at any rate, above all no "ANIMAL PORN" will be tolerated in any fashion. So there. If you've learned nothing else about the new ponderplace podcast you should be content to know that as always there will be no animal porn. By the way be sure to check out my new site wwww.itsnotanimalpornwhenthegoatagreesnothatsjustwrongnevermind.com Thanks for stopping by and we'll see ya real soon.
