I try not to be cynical, I just can't help it sometimes. okay, sorry Joe… maybe just not quite ready for prime time. :)

But, I get your point that the economy has been poor here for awhile...you can see it in the unemployment numbers and the "out-of-business" signs. I try to be more skeptical than cynical although it does tend toward the cycnial end of things most times!

Ohio has had a lousy economy for some time, no? re the elections, I share your disgust for the process. I sometimes feel like I'm the only cynic left in america. I never met a politician I trusted, always seem to be two sides of the very same coin. They are always in someones pocket, it's just a question of whos. I'm am I the only cynic re the opening of your podcast… we’d all be better off if the fundies and their ilk would do more praying and less preying.

I appreciate your comments about the Democrats in the House & Senate and I agree that they are equally responsible (including Biden who was a main sponsor of this sort of legislation - see I keep my eyes open, too ;) ). I just like harping about George W., what can I say? He's now the lame duck so I'll stop now! I'm glad you listened and commented! I' Judy,

Guess everyone has been caught up in the election. I have to say I agree about the hype of national elections, and tonight is the first time in a long time, my phone isn't ringing for some candidate or the other. Now, on the Bush administration, I agree he made many mistakes, but as far as the economy is concerned, since the Democrats took over the House two years ago, they are equally responsible for what hat taken place since then. They pressured the banks to give mortgages to people who could not afford them, which led to the all of the current problems in the market. So, there's a lot of blame to go around. BTW, I'm a registered Democrat but my eyes are wide open. Nice podcast anyway, Joe. I can’t believe I’m the first one to comment this time. Guess everyone has been caught up in the election.
