Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 04/30/12 - Show Notes

What happens in Vegas....

Sounds confusing, I know, but it'll make sense when you hear tonight's program.

So join me THIS MONDAY (04/30) right here on ShockNet Radio at 8pm Eastern (7pm Central and 5pm Pacific) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

When the truth is not enough, it's time for... BRUTALLY HONEST!

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 04/23/12 - Show Notes

Following our annual Tax Day special, I have to play catch-up on some news, but then I have two blasts from the past. One good, one far from good. One's an archive, and the other is something that should have been left in the dustbins of history. What are they? You'll just have to find out!

There's a lot to talk about, so join me THIS MONDAY (04/23) right here on ShockNet Radio at 8pm Eastern (7pm Central and 5pm Pacific) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

Just a random thought...

This is just me rambling off right now, but I am NOT a fan of Blogger's attempt to "update" the services.

This is all part of Google's master assimilation plan to get Gmail and Blogger and YouTube all the other online ducks lined in a row for them, and quite frankly, IT SUCKS.

I've tried the "updated Blogger interface" when it came to posting things, and I hate it. For starters, all of the HTML that I do - and bear in mind I've been doing this for over sixteen years now - IS SCRAPPED in the new interface. Original HTML had normal paragraph breaks. You didn't have to hit enter a second time. Here, you have to.

It's bad enough that Microsoft DEMANDS that I incorporate a ton of needless code when I put the article together as part of their Word programs. It's worse when Google then takes the code I already have and scraps it for their own.

Come on guys, do I REALLY have to move everything else to Wordpress?

I don't mind the new Gmail interface other the fact that it's BLAND. Even when you put so-called "themes" into it, it's BLAND.

And YouTube? You know, I put a lot of time and effort into designing those channels that you just TRASHED so you can have your shopping receipt-style list. How about I go into YOUR house and rearrange all YOUR belongings? Think that would be "helpful"?

I wouldn't mind so much if there was the OPTION to update, but much like so many corporate entities, Google pompously believes THEY know what's right for all of us, and they don't CARE if things WORK, only that they incorporate some executive's demented vision of what looks nice.

Okay, enough rambling... back to working on a radio show.

Yes, check the calendar and you'd know that it's "THAT TIME" again. It's TIME to go over the thing we do not want to discuss.

Taxes.

And because this is a special show, with a singular subject, I won't be doing things like I normally do. We're going to go over the tax system thanks to an Archive Plus article from 2000, a look at the most recent attempt to "fix" the tax system, and my take on the program that WOULD work.

There's a lot to talk about, so join me THIS MONDAY (04/16) right here on ShockNet Radio at 8pm Eastern (7pm Central and 5pm Pacific) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 04/09/12 - Show Notes

I had an interesting encounter last week that I'm going to share with you tonight. It involves a preacher and his "message". Yeah, you can already figure out that this will not end well.

Plus, is there really a "War on Women"? Well, yes and no. And how about the GOP? Is it really over for the primary season? Find out what "the message" says now about it!

Another anniversary? AGAIN? It seems like it was just last year that... nevermind.

Well tune in to see what I have in store, because I have some stuff that will boggle your mind and stuff that will hopefully put a smile on your face.

Sixteen Years Ago Today...

Sixteen years ago today, the weekly column we know today as "Brutally Honest" was created.

Of course it wasn't known as "Brutally Honest" at first. It had a hastily-done banner from a proposed newsletter for its title. It was initially a repository of articles that I submitted to newspapers that didn't get published, but once those ran out, I began doing regular weekly articles for the website.

Sadly, the hosting company was AOL, and they ditched their hosting serves a few years ago, but the articles are still available for you to go through.

I'm going to have more to say about this on Monday's broadcast of "Brutally Honest on ShockNet Radio" (8pm ET, 7pm CT), but for now, Happy Sweet Sixteen!
