Shownotes by Matt Blender.

Kerry isn’t a real issue. We should be talking about Iraq and habeus corpus instead.

The point when humanity went wrong.

Ulises Ruiz Ortiz: the asshole PRI governor of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Carlos tried to clone female sex slaves.

American interests infiltrated the Mexican PRI party.

The Mexican PAN party: currently in power and being infiltrated by Neo-Cons.

Pizzababe has a PANus.

I’m not into the significance of stupid shit, like the number of shows I’ve done.

Carlos says the price of the tortilla is a big economic indicator in Mexico.

The Mexican word for pussy.

Carlos wakes up his neighbors with his lovemaking.

The Zapatista Army of National Liberation in Mexico. Subcomandante Marcos is its leader.

Purpose is erotic.

Carlos wants to start an Independent Media Center in Tijuana.

Carlos gives an update on Madge.

People want the Oaxaca governor out of office. Ortiz got elected through an under-the-table deal, kind of like Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

Bad unions and government people allied with the PRI party killed a journalist who covered the election, Bradley Roland Will.

Teamsters have been infiltrated by the mafia.

Human rights groups in Mexico are getting invaded by the PRD party.

Oaxaca is full of natural resources.

I tend to ignore corrupt government stuff going on in Chicago.

I’m going to Florida and then Milan for VlogEurope.

I’m going to meet with Gay Expat, Karmabanque, and Bicycle Mark.

Carlos wants to know why Max doesn’t open source the Karmabanque concept for Mexico and other non-English-speaking countries.

I suggest that the technicality of this may be over Karmabanques’ heads.

Al-Jazeera English is starting up.

I can only do one thing at a time and I don’t have access to money from my joint production company.

Bicycle Mark has been writing Eclectic News Brief.

I need to start getting sponsors or else I won’t do it anymore.

I’m going to Lubiana, etc. with Bicycle Mark.

Andy (the noise musician) is a different person now when he talks about politics.

People judge guests on Yeast based on the podcast my guests were on only.

Mid-term elections: it’s looking like the Democrats will take the House unless Karl Rove pulls something.

Earthlink ad.

More and more reports coming in of irate voters calling various House Democratic campaigns complaining about the repeat-call-back robocalls.

In other words, these are the harassing calls paid for by the NRCC made to appear that they’re from the Democratic campaign. And a lot of angry voters are getting fooled by the scam, it seems.

Take this and the tightening polls together and you get one net result: this election is going to be decided on the ground. It’s in the hands of the folks running the get-out-the-vote operations, manning the phone banks, helping people get to the polls. The Republicans are going to do their best to scam their way through this one. So it’s up to the people on the ground to make sure they don’t get away with it. If you’re in the GOTV operation, it’s all up to you.
