It’s Foreign to Me: With Hotshot (HotShotPerformer.comThis week in the ‘it’s foreign to me’ segment our roving radical, Johnny, takes a shot at the political tactic of Extreme Baiting. This tactic originated with the far lefty pinkos but is now a standard practice among right wingnut’s. Don’t you hate when your enemy steals your tactics? We now have this coming to the threat of treason among gun rights activists and once again it seems as if we are on the brink of the end of the world. The NRA has drummed up the paranoid psychotic tendencies of the rowdy crowd even though they are getting what they called for in President Cool’s proposal. We’ll try to make sense of some of this nonsense.

 

Also, just for kicks, he’ll take some pot shots at the separation of church and state issues which 0bamaCare has raised among the religious. Really? Yes, really. The very people who should be supporting universal health care are somehow diametrically opposed to helping people get a fair shake on health care, an industry rife with corruption, mismanagement and deregulation nightmares.

Tune in. It’ll be fun, or informative or at the very least, frustrating.

PICTURE THIS: chatting up corners of the world (ArmandThomas.comArmand Thomas and Will Roberts Will talk about Land of Milk and Honey, Southern California is paradise… if you can afford it.

Coastal towns like Laguna Beach, San Clemente and Manhattan Beach are laid back and picturesque – beauty and splendor beyond belief.

I spent half my visit in awe, the other half in envy.

Seemingly too good to be true, it often is for many Americans — who scramble to stay afloat or move to nearby grittier areas (think: Long Beach) that contrast sharply with the neighboring Shangri-La’s.

SoCal covers the spectrum of living standards – a veritable cauldron of American standards.

I Know A Conservative : Tim Devaney is a national reporter at The Washington Times based in D.C., where he covers business and the economy. In his spare time, he also jokes about the news coming out of Capitol Hill.  We will talk about:

-Lance Armstrong
-Apple’s stock just slipped below $500 for the first time in a while. Remember it was as high as $600 earlier this year, it beat Microsoft’s all-time high for a stock price, and some predicted it would climb to $1,000 within a few years.
-Some company just bought several of the Hostess brands, but not Twinkies or Ho-Ho’s.
-Presidential Inauguration + Barack Obama impersonators.

Rachna comes to POPVOX with a background in federal lobbying, issue advocacy and social media strategy for a variety of national issue-based and advocacy organizations.

POPVOX verifies, aggregates, and simplifies communication with Congress on an open and trusted (and nonpartisan) common ground. Advocacy organizations, trade associations, unions and other groups send their members to POPVOX to take action on bills pending before Congress. Congressional staff and lawmakers log into POPVOX to measure the pulse of their district. POPVOX provides a curating interface for anyone — including Congressional staff, the public and the media — to access and understand the voice of the people.

 

It’s Foreign to Me: With Hotshot (HotShotPerformer.comThis week our fiasco commentator at large . . .

This week our roving radical, johnny, takes a shot at the slippery slope concept because christian conservatives aren’t taking it far enough. The defense

of marriage act, abortion, gun control. He’s sick and tired of all this picking and choosing what they want to get righteous about. It is foreign to me

how we can allow humans to run government.

 

PICTURE THIS: chatting up corners of the world (ArmandThomas.com)  Armand Thomas and Will Roberts Will talk about and view shots Armand took in New Caledonia.

New Caledonia is seldom mentioned as a travel hot-spot, but it’s location, history and culture make it a great off-beat destination.

Off the northeast coast of Australia, this French protectorate became a penal colony in the late 1800s (just as the English sent their convicts to Australia).

Then came a boom in mining and a mild rise in tourism — compared to Tahiti, for instance — that left this colorful archipelago relatively quiet.

Most of the drama in the past half-century has been the political undertow for independence from France.

The multi-ethnic population is divided, voting no several years ago. But another referendum will take place in the next 5 years.

Zero Dark Thirty – In theaters January 11

Tim had a passion for journalism from a young age. As a kid, his neighbor called him the “Question Boy,” because he never stopped asking. His curiosity led him to report for newspapers such as The Washington Times, Detroit News, and Portland Press Herald in Maine. Recently, he’s been writing about the fiscal cliff and the European financial crisis. His stories can be found at www.washingtontimes.com.

When he’s not writing serious news, you can find his political comedy at www.thegoofypress.com, where Tim offers his funny, sarcastic, not-so-serious take on news of the day. Look for his jokes about the fiscal cliff, Chick-fil-A, Twinkies, Ho Ho’s, David Patraeus and Benghazi.
