Back 2 Square 1 Episode 014 posted!

Back 2 Square 1 has produced yet another episode: 014 Brewer's Aftermath

Show Notes: 15 August 2009
Take 3! (Again!) Only an hour this time... brewing took too much out of the others & Osyris was recovering from a bad case of McDonald. The studio fridge is finally operational! Johnny-B & Glacier Wulf discuss the latest home-brew, first in the new place (& in two years or so). [Correction: there was 14.5lbs of malty grain used in the brew, not 12lbs.] We talk -again- about whom Osyris is likely a "Bi-In-Denial" & female issues. "Crouton", which is the given name currently for my girl Bengal cat. Lava lamps (yes, we now have two!) in da studio! We don't have the doom dice tonight, or Dutchie or Dark-Lilith, so we're winging it. First, we head to Dvorak Uncensored blog & listen to American President Obama make a great gaff about the U.S. Postal Service. We also browse several other blog posts before switching to Failblog & skim through three pages of fail. Among other topics, we give our two-cents about child discipline & spanking. Then we watch an epic fail unicyclist via Failblog before Osyris goes into a "reverse racism" rant. Due to the day's events, we consider a 20min. break before deciding not to & check out the BBC World Service News & ranting briefly about the red cards give out at the Sounders/Galaxy MLS match (2-0w). After stumbling through a mini-rant about the bullshit surrounding Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma/Myanmar, & briefly talking about Secretary of State Clinton (& her more famous husband) Osyris finally give Israel hell (again) about the Palestine conflict. Wanna come on the show & give us a piece of your mind? E-mail us & we'll make it happen! (See address below...)

Vote Early, Vote Often!

Short little non-writing blip about voting for all you Americans out there. VOTE! Even if you think things are rigged, even if you don't like the candidates (there are more than two, ya know!), even if you think the energy elite run the planet, VOTE! Play the game, follow the song and dance; this way, if things don't go your way, then you can raise all holy hell and they got nothing on you. There are a lot of big issues, too, on the ballets like doctor prescribed drugs to hasten death for terminally ill patients (Initiative 1000) in Washington state or the anti-gay marriage bill (Prop 8) in California. Vote for the good of the country, not yourself. Vote based not on the enforcement of your religious beliefs on others but on what will benefit the most Americans. Freedom from and of religion, that is a key part of every election. Human rights and dignity are also in the balance. Show the rest of the world that the "leading" democracy is actually worthy of the title. Remember: vote early, vote often; that is, don't put it off and do it consistently. (Sorry, mayor Daily.)

"The Republican Party has nominated John McCain, the senior United States Senator from Arizona as its nominee; the Democratic Party has nominated Barack Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois, as its nominee. The Libertarian Party has nominated former Congressman Bob Barr, the Constitution Party pastor and radio talk show host Chuck Baldwin, and the Green Party former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Ralph Nader declined to seek the Green Party nomination and is running as an independent candidate." -United States Presidential Election, 2008 - Wikipedia

"Initiative 1000 (I-1000) is a ballot measure dealing with aid in dying that will be on the ballot in the US state of Washington in the November 4, 2008 general election. The effort was started by former Governor Booth Gardner. Supporters of I-1000 submitted about 310,000 petition signatures from registered voters, surpassing the state's requirement of 225,000 valid signatures for ballot status. Secretary of State Sam Reed certified the initiative July 25, 2008 after confirming at least 224,880 signatures to be valid." -Initiative 1000 - Wikipedia

"Proposition 8 is an initiative state constitutional amendment on the 2008 California General Election ballot, titled Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry. If passed, the proposition will "change the California Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California." A new section would be added stating "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."" -California Proposition 8 (2008) - Wikipedia

Edit: Obama wins! Anti-gay marriage wins... I-1000 wins!
