The Ratt’s Nest

I don’t know what else to do…nobody will probably read this, but I had to voice my opinion somewhere.  Short and sweet:

- Canada voted in the Conservatives, not anyone else
- The Liberals had their lowest support ever in the election
- This “coalition” each has their own agenda, the Bloc is already talking about how this will serve Quebec…not Canada, the NDP are looking for a taste of power they will never get through electoral process (heck even they don’t trust the Liberals http://www.ndp.ca/xfer/html/2007-10-12/LiberalWarningHeader-en.gif), and Dion has already admitted he is unable to lead his own party let alone a country
- The man who wants to lead this country can’t even deliver a staged statement to the people that arrives on time and doesn’t look like it was made with a cell phone

The “coalition” if allowed to govern promise to throw money at the economic crisis…where do you think that will come from?  Deficit and raised taxes.  I’m not an expert in national economics, but I’m sure that is the exact opposite of what has to be done.

If this is allowed to happen, it will be the worst thing to happen to Canada ever.  Please stand up for our country.  Stand up for what is right.  I’ve said my piece…

Well I may not have been able to successfully start my own podcast yet, but I am now the regular co-host of another awesome podcast.  So for all your Rattface needs please head on over to Nobody’s Listening at www.nobodyslistening.net a weekly clean comedy podcast where we tell funny life stories and invite you to do the same.

Well as we quickly approach the first anniversary of the realization of my dream to start a podcast, you can see that a lot has changed in a year….

 Oh wait, nothing has changed because I’ve only ever put out one episode.  It would appear that I was a bit ambitious in my belief that I could produce a regular show.  Still wish I could though… if only I could figure out something to do a show on that wouldn’t take extreme amounts of my time…Think, think, think…

Here, at last, is the inaugural episode of The Ratt’s Nest. Please let me know what you think.

In this episode I turn the spotlight on Jonathan Coulton. You can find him at www.jonathancoulton.com

The Things I Like selection is Nobody’s Listening over at www.nlcast.com You can find information on the creative commons licensing mentioned in the show at www.creativecommons.org

And finally you can find Rob Balder’s parody of Skullcrusher Mountain at www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=48

One final note on Jonathan’s music that I was unfortunately unable to confirm prior to the episode being taped. It would seem that he has a song on the new Orange Box video game. Based on the hints I’ve seen I would guess that it is the song for the ending credits for the Portal game.

Just a quick note to let you all know that I have finally stolen enough time away to lay down the voice track for Episode 1. I should have it edited down in the next day or two and get it posted. But for now, my voice is hoarse…I’m not used to this line of work and Orange Box just unlocked so later…

Hey there rattface.com visitors. I have posted my introductory episode to give you something to listen to while I put the finishing touches on Episode 1. This is a short 2 minute episode that explains what I am trying to accomplish with this podcast. Please let me know what you think.
