I suppose we could have done a show on the Georgia Lt. Governor race... that would be a scintillating 30 minutes of podcast goodness... but we've decided to put off the show another week to see if Katherine Harris implodes a little more.  Is it too long to wait to listen to Dan gloating over the ever-increasing possibility that he was right and the rest of the ragtag gang of the usual suspects were wrong in crystal balling CT primaries?  We think not...

Many have openly wondered where President Bush will go after he leaves the White House... what profession will he leap into? Considering his track record as an oil man and a baseball owner was, ahhhh... mixed... perhaps he's considering a lucrative and rewarding career in the day spa industry? Skeptical? Check out his massage technique on German Chancellor Angela Merkel...

I will warn you now... headbutt references will dominate tomorrow's show...

Too good... too good. New show on Thursday night!

While we haven't exactly been clogging our show with thoughts on net neutrality, it's certainly an issue that has come to the forefront of the tech and policy crowd. For a very revealing and interesting take on the issue, take a listen to the latest Podcast411 featuring a faux interview with Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska. His spin on defining net-neutrality as a two-tiered system (um, it's not... what the telecoms want would be two-tiered), plus his oft-quoted concept of the internet as a series of "tubes" is frankly, a classic... as is his pronounciation of DeutscheTelecom. Let's just say his German needs a brush-up, and if we had been present, all sense of decorum would have been lost...

New show next week everyone!  We'll have the full ragtag gang of the usual suspects in Studio 3M... tentative topics include judicial nominees, an update on the '06 election, plus a completely soccer-less last call.  We think...
