For the X-TREME BABY

June 13th, 2008 . by Andy (TANcast's #1 Ear-Rapist)

New from Playskool, the X-TREME BABY Helmet!

Is life too full of hard surfaces for your hard-living, adventure-addicted baby?

Does your youngest yearn for the rough and tumble life of a bullfighter, a coal miner, or a crack-addled home invasion robber?

Do you secretly believe that Dale Earnhardt has reincarnated in your child, ushering in the prophesied “1000 Years of Corn Whiskey”?

Then try the X-TREME BABY Helmet, from Playskool!

Ready for anything...
When life gives you a lemon, toss a helmet on it. It won’t notice.

Music my fiancee thinks is lame

June 12th, 2008 . by Noah

Sheena Easton – 9 to 5 (Morning Train)

I have varied taste in music, most of which my finacee claims is lame or old people music. I leave it up to you dear reader. Watch the video below and judge for yourself.

Is that like a onesy/jumpy suit she is wearing? Very attractive. I am not really sure why I like this song, it is just kind of catchy. I am watching this video and should she really be touching those levers? Is she trained in the science of trains? Did she go to conductor school? I don’t think she did. Now she is doing a little bit of pole dancing. Work it girl! With your kind of boyish haircut but she is still oddly kind of cute. There they go off into the sunset or whatever. So there it is a gay song I like, don’t judge. Stay tuned for more lame/old people music and a new Tancast is coming soon.

Whither FloMich?

May 30th, 2008 . by Andy (TANcast's #1 Ear-Rapist)

To all those political partisans currently resorting to histrionics and hand-waving: Failing to seat even a single delegate from Michigan or Florida at the Democratic National Convention is not in any way like Jim Crow laws or any other form of racist (or sexist) voter disenfranchisement.

I think this is an especially disingenuous claim to make since those who (or whose parents, grandparents, etc. ) were most oppressed are more likely to support Barack Obama than Hillary Clinton, and it is Clinton’s camp that is trying to conflate the Democratic National Committee’s punishment of Florida and Michigan for breaking their rules with slavery, Black Codes, and apartheid.

I know that the day-to-day reality of politics is said to be like making sausage, but here we have a candidate who had no objection to the Democratic National Committee’s decision to strip all of Florida’s delegates from August 2007 until just four days before the Florida primary in January 2008 (when she was polling ahead), and who then held 3 fundraisers two days before the primary despite signing a pledge not to campaign in that state.  Worse, her official change of heart happened 10 days after the Michigan primary, where she was the only major candidate who had not removed her name from the ballot.

I can no longer say “I’m happy with both candidates, despite having a preference,” because Clinton’s win-at-any-cost behavior has made me rethink just how much she is committed to making America better versus committed to being in power.

An oft-misquoted adage goes “The love of money is the root of all (kinds of) evil,” but I think if Paul had thought hard he would have told Timothy that it is really the love of power that leads to these evils.  Money is rarely an end unto itself, and I don’t think the love of comfort (another cause for greed) evokes the same sort of behavior that typifies the power-hungry.

I’ve got a longer post coming on my thoughts on the candidates, but I’ll set all that aside for a moment and focus on what I think the DNC should do this weekend with the mess that is the Florida and Michigan Democratic Party primaries.  Just my 2¢…

An article about the “T” in TANcast…

May 1st, 2008 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

The folks at 209Vibe. com have written an article about my 3rd favorite subject…ME!!! Check it out…

PREVIEW: Tim Babb at Matinee
By: Aaron Davis / 209Vibe

Let’s get down to brass tax, here. Tim Babb is a geek.

How much of a geek is he? For starters, he listens to a Star Trek podcast that’s done by two British guys.

Awesome!

“There’s no one in my immediate circle I can talk to about it,” Babb said with a laugh. “(My friends and family) are like ‘you are a geek, and an idiot.’

Babb returns to Stockton and the “Laugh Track Live” comedy series with two shows on Saturday, May 3 at the Matinee Lounge, at 1825 Pacific Ave. The shows are at 8:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., and tickets are $15.

Tickets are available at www.laughtracklive.com, at Matineé or at 800.838.3006, and the show is open to those 21 and older only.
