Yes, I'm still here! Sorry I don't check in more often. The "That's Not Bush's Fault" series shall continue momentarily. So what am I doing when I'm not here typing for your entertainment? Here's what I've been up to...

Master of All Audio

I've become an obsessed peruser of the bootleg sites, maybe because it only requires clicking and downloading, not thinking and typing. Saturday I was thrilled to find a soundboard recording of one of the best concerts I've ever been to, if not the best, on Archive.org: Blueground Undergrass with Vassar Clements at the Roxy Theatre, April 7, 2000. However upon downloading it I was a bit disappointed that at some points the peak volume level was a mere 50%. It also sounded practically mono, and as though a pillow was over the mix. Initially I told myself it was too much trouble, but it happened anyhow: I was compelled to do my first-ever remastering job. I cut the muddy mids, boosted the treble a hair, normalized the weakest parts and then master-limited the whole thing and widened the stereo. The end result practically sounds like an official concert release, if I do say so myself! This may also become my first-ever Bit Torrent.

Not Bush's Fault, But Funny Just the Same

My fellow Republicans, I implore you to help our God-fearing nation put the terrors of Bill Clinton's oral favors behind us. Yes, it is time for the party of great Americans like Rev. Jerry Falwell, Rev. Pat Robertson and President Herbert Hoover to come to America's aid and provide our land with politicians of Character and Family Values. Yes, it's time to vote for a great man like Florida congressman Mark Foley.

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

I also see this book is being much talked-about. Hardball's Chris Matthews said Bob Woodward's State of Denial could spell trouble for the Republicans in the November mid-terms because, "...a lot of smart people are going to read this book." Well, Chris, that's just why maybe it doesn't pose a problem. Judging by the cross section of Americans I talk to on the phone on a daily basis, most people aren't smart. They're not even watching Hardball, let along spending $25 to read a long book about guys in suits having meetings. Maybe if there was a monster truck rally that ended in fireworks spelling out "Bush Sucks" in flaming letters there would be a problem, but anything short of that, and certainly something tucked away in the Current Events section at Barnes n' Noble, isn't much of a threat. It may be uncomfortable for Bush to attend certain Washington cocktail parties this month, but I think that's all. On the other hand there's always hope.

Take your blood pressure pills because I'll return this evening with more stuff to get you good n' steamed.
