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.

A review of the torture memos could not be complete without torturing you by giving you a real sample of how the news is really done. Yeah, they could talk about important issues...but Hey...Octomom, The Musical!!!
We are also watching the decay of the old Republican Party into its fringe extremism. They should not be taken lightly...even if it is fun to make "teabagging" jokes at their expense.
Also, there is the Global Warming Update, a guest speaker, the new "Happy Place" segment, music and the What a Weinie Award.
Thanks for Listening.
