Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 04/30/11 - Show Notes

Tonight I have some serious discussions about the pains at the pump.

Well, for starters I'll have another kind of pain to discuss, but that's just human stupidity. The MAIN pain will be something that we ALL have to deal with right now, and it's NOT at a good time to happen. In fact it's something that's been going on for a LONG WHILE now, and it's only just reared its ugly head these past few weeks after taking a few years break. And it's only a matter of time before the mis-directions start up, along with that email hoax about a 1-day "gas out" that seems to continually show up with the rising prices. But if you're REALLY mad about this stuff, you'll WANT to pay attention to what I have to say on the subject, because the REAL culprits of our misery know how this game is played, and they don't want you to know that you're getting played.

And for once in a long time, I'm not being rushed to get this in on time! That in and of itself is a relief for me!

So tune in THIS SATURDAY (04/30) right here on ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern (6pm Central and 4pm Pacific) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

And don't forget that I'll be in the "Brutally Honest" chatroom at www.shocknetradio.com during the show to discuss the subject LIVE!

Don't have too much time here... once again I'm pushing the limits... but tonight's show is about CONSEQUENCES.

What sort of consequences? Well you'll have to tune in to find out!

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 04/16/11 - Show Notes

For those who did not know... NO there wasn't a show last week because we all too the week off over at ShockNet Radio. I still had my column, but all of the programs had the week off to relax and recoup and recharge their batteries. Or at least that was the idea. In my case it was running around doing errands, working on my comic series, and getting very frustrated at things not working like they are supposed to. I also needed to get a new monitor for the soundboard computer after the one I've been using finally gave up the ghost. It was a nice little 14" monitor whose time apparently came and went, and I ended up getting a widescreen monitor for half the price of its replacement.

Anyway, because there was no show last week, there won't be an archive show this coming Monday. Those of you that subscribe via iTunes should keep that in mind. Also I apologize for the weird upload of the archive. Once again Ourmedia and the Internet Archive screwed up, and I wish I could find a way to fix it on the spot, but the way things are right now we're stuck with it.

Now that we've caught up, now it's time for THIS week's show, and unless you're a new listener to the radio show, then you can pretty much guess what tonight's main subject is...

TAXES!

Yes, with the federal Tax Day this coming Monday, it is time to once again go over our convoluted tax system and WHY it is as messed up as it is, WHY we can't seem to fix it, and how SHOULD we fix it. That's a lot of stuff to talk about, but thankfully I have a WHOLE HOUR to discuss it. The real challenge, then, is will you be willing to hear what needs to be done and then be able to support it?

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 04/02/11 - Show Notes

This week's show is a very special one for Brutally Honest fans. This weekend marks the FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY for us here in the Command Center!

FIFTEEN YEARS!

Okay, some of you are thinking "Wait, how can David 2 talk about being on the air for fifteen years when his show has only been on the digital airwaves for three?"

Well, this radio show has only been on the air since 2008, but I've been doing online commentary for FIFTEEN YEARS NOW, and THAT is what we're here to celebrate!

Fifteen years of online commentary, both on web pages and digital audio. Fifteen years of exposing the lies and hypocrisies of the politicians, pundits, preachers, and media pontificators. Fifteen years of laying out the issues in a way that people can comprehend. This is the ULTIMATE in "Brutally Honest Archives", where we look back at those fifteen years to see where we were and compare that with where we are now and where we are headed.

So tune in THIS SATURDAY (04/02) right here on ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern (6pm Central and 4pm Pacific) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 03/26/11 - Show Notes

Tonight's show may seem a bit depressing... at least at first. Blame it on the weather... and the media as well.

I mean there's talk about doom and gloom and "End Times" prophecies and people thinking that we're heading there faster than Charlie Sheen on Tiger Blood... but there's more to it than just doom and gloom, and I'll explain why I think some of the talk is laziness and why CERTAIN "doomsday" ideas are allowed while others aren't.

Then I'll go over the idea of villains. Bad guys. Nasty people who do nothing but ill. Why do they seem like cheap cartoon characters? Well there's a REASON for that as well.

(Cripes, you'd think with my fascination with justice and villains that I was working on a comic book or something... hint-hint...)

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 03/19/11 - Show Notes

Tonight's show is very TAXING for me to do.

Well, TAXING is the subject of the first segment, but it wasn't just that. The third segment is something that's been in the news off-and-on of late, especially this past week thanks to a certain viral video. You can probably guess which video I'm talking about, but I have a very personal stake in this subject. Those who know me from "way back when" will know what this is. The rest of you will just have to figure out when I get to that part of the show.

Oh, and I have an archive rant from 2006 about a certain group of people that are sort of responsible for me doing all of this stuff for fifteen years now.

Let's see...

* Giving something up for Lent

* A story about "wrong turn signal" people

* A quick discussion about the NFL lockout

* Five words that certain people have a problem with (which ones? You'll find out!)

Tonight we're going to talk about the stuff that's happening "OVER THERE", and its connection to the stuff happening "OVER HERE".

Yes, the two things ARE related, and the cons and neo-cons DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT!

HOW are they connected? You'll just have to find out.
