Outro Song:  George and Martha - We Became Actors (:13 - End)

We Became Actors are one of my favorite “new” bands.  (  http://webecameactors.com/ )   I heard them on the ‘Minus the Bear’ Pandora station a couple months ago and immediately found them on social media.  I have tweeted and facebooked them and gotten responses in regards to using their music.  If you guys are listening, keep up the great work and if you need a roadie I can manhandle heavy things and change guitar strings. If/when you play San Diego, let’s hang out!

Million Short!!!  Imagine a search engine that simply removed the top 1 million most popular web sites from its index. What would you discover?

Simply doing things because you feel like an invisible man will punish you if you don’t isn’t the same as being good for goodness sake.

The Other

Idiocracy
In an election year, there’s nothing more poignant than Idiocracy.  People make a false division in their mind between private and public, corporate and government, church and state... they’re all the same!  We all worship something (“god,” money, etc), we all buy things, we all benefit from public resources and private, and the government is clearly overrun with corruption. There is no difference between Barack Obama the President and Barack Obama the corporate shill.  He’s the CEO of a failing business.  And what does Romney do with failing businesses?  He milks them of every resource, makes himself even more wealthy, and then fires everyone left over.  Ron Paul is the only candidate who makes sense, 90% of the time.  It’s that other 10%...  

Kickstarter. Should AM1980 beg? - possibly something we can all use.
