Random Thoughts

I saw an announcement of a new SL-related podcast the other day, and was immediately reminded of Neal Boortz's explanation of the relative failure of leftist talk radio: that their hosts' assertions can't survive the feedback and questioning that comes from having callers, so they are reduced to either verbal abuse or filtering out callers who disagree--and hence they only succeed in one-way communications media. (I can't quite agree with Mr. Boortz, because that failing is not exclusive to the left.)

Speaking of podcasts... I have falled way behind on podcast listening, and was saddened to see that The Goddess and Banana Show is on hiatus. I hope all goes well with them in First and Second Life, and will be happy indeed should they return to the virtual air.

Apparently you've never listened to Sean Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh, or for that matter watched Bill O'Reilly...the assertions of right-wing talk-radio hosts don't stand up to any sort of rational argument, so the solution is to shut down debate completely and engage in ad hominem ...mote and beam.
