Deep Fab - Episode 00082 - Now The Real Work Begins
Description
I definitely want to apologize for not getting this podcast out earlier. I've wanted to podcast so many times before now after my last podcast, but life has gotten in the way as usual. The freelance work was kicking my ass for the last few weeks. But, I had a talk with the woman who gives me this work, and we agreed that we both need a break and we need to pace ourselves so we both don't get burnt-out. I am going to continue doing freelance work, but it'll be at a much more relaxed pace, and I'll have more free-time again ... we both will.
Well, you know November 3rd was my Birthday where I turned fourty (40), and I was in Ptown for the "Meet Your Mate" weekend. It was an ok time. Both myself and my roomie went down, and we each had our own rooms and for the most part did our own thing. We did do some events together like the 'Inn Stroll'. The 'Inn Stroll' was where 10 different guest houses (including the Ranch) was hosting hor'douves and some form of Bacardi Rum drinks. So, as you walk from one guest house to another you had a different rum drink. I only did hald the guest houses though ... the others were on the other side of town, and the trolley they had wasn't really super reliable. So, anyway, I had a great time over the weekend.
So, we (my roomie andI) got back on Sunday, and the next big thing was election night. Obviously, the Democrats handily won the House of Representatives, and after a few days we won the Senate. THANK YOU GOD!!!! Finally there is some hope!
I can only hope that the new Democratic congress does a few things:
1) Change election law so that voting machine code is Open Source and proprietary to a corporation. This means the code can be vetted. Also, electronic voting machines need paper ballots, an get a few companies out of there like Diebold.
2) Restore the writ of Habeus Corpus ... yes, terrorists and U.S. Citizens, natural or naturalized have rights!!!
3) Make sure the President cannot tap our phones without warrants!
4) Restore oversight and the system of checks and balances!!!
It was obvious that there was attempted voter fraud, disenfranchisement, and elimination of people off the voting rolls. But this time, it didn't work ... large amounts of blacks, latinos, new young voters, woman, and even Christian evangelicals all came out voting for Democrats. The Christian Evangelicals was the big surprise. From the exit polls, it was also obvious that people were fed up with the Administrations handling of the Iraq War and the corruption within the GOP:
Most Corrupt Congressmen of 109th Congress
Time for a change!
Anyway, now after the election, and a "thumping" of the GOP. The propaganda is still going strong, and even MORE SO because they lost. This will give FOX news the democrats to pick on for the next four years. However, some of the pundits claim America has gone to the right, become more conservative, and that the democrats who did win were conservative. WTF!!! What kind of crack are they smoking?????? Many of the democrats elected are very liberal and progressive. Hell, the GOP tried to tell us that before the election, and now all of a sudden they're more conservative than the GOP????????? What Bullshit!!!!
