Indirect Democracy
A Republic...if you can keep it (Benjamin Franklin)

If you're not outraged...
            You're not paying attention

Indirect Democracy is a political process in which the PEOPLE control the government through elected political officials. This is also called a republic.

This is the main website for the podcast to Indirect Democracy. This podcast is a progressive, hopefully humorous (I see you judging me) and creative take on the news, commentary and look at the history that shapes our republic....in an attempt to indirectly affect our democracy.

The Speech He Should Have Given - Sept. 14, 2008

This is it!  The General Election is on and after the two conventions, I felt it was time to get into the RED meat that we did not get to hear from the big speeches.

As the election gets near - GET Involved.  Work for your local campaign.  Get your friends to register.  BE ACTIVE.

Please donate $5.00 dollars to help the American Red Cross during this deadly hurricane season.  There is a link to the American Red Cross at the Favorite Links section of Indirect Democracy.

There is a remembrance to the victims of 9/11, the Global Warming Update, the President's Love Horoscope, a new sponsor ad, a song by the Platinum Pied Pipers and the What a Weinie Award.

Thanks for Listening.


George Carlin & Marriage - July 14, 2008

When George Carlin died, I knew that after a long hiatus to plan my wedding that only one topic would be worth discussing.  Carlin changed not just how I perceived comedy but the importance of language....and how it shapes thought.  "Because we do think in terms of language."

As well, I will discuss my current nuptials and thoughts about how the issue of Gay Marriage has affected my marriage - here's a hint:  Has NOT and guess what...if you are married, your vows are still in tact.

Plus there will also be a Global Warming Update, the President's "Love" Horoscope (made an oopsie), and two "What a Weinie Awards."

The Sponsor ads will be provided by the Great George Carlin.
