We strayed off the usual path today with a visit from motivational speaker and comedian Matt Bellace. Pete went through a mini therapy session which was quite interesting and entertaining. They even got me in the mix to talk about the possibility of meeting my biological father for the first time. I am definitely not looking for pity so please don’t go that route. I am however, considering going to see a therapist and I’m finding that the more I talk about my issues the better I feel.  So what I’m asking for is for anyone that’s willing to share their thoughts on therapy to do so here in the comments. Have you gone? Did it help? Would you recommend it for other people? Do you think that Pete should go back to therapy or is he too far gone?

Republican Candidate John McCain has broken his promise.  Such a politician.  He claimed he would run a clean campaign, saying the American people deserve to hear what candidates think about the issues and shouldn’t have to pick a president based on the mudslinging campaign ads.  His latest ad, “The One,” paints Barack Obama as the chosen candidate who has proved his popularity, but, is he ready to lead?  Um?  Wait a minute…  I am really confused.  People like this guy.  It seems like he is the choice of the majority.  I am voting for this guy!  But this ad is paid for by the opponent?!  Hmm…  I should get Pete to hire the advertising company John McCain hired to make an ad bad mouthing me.  Maybe I wouldn’t come off as such a douche.

I am being extremely courageous right now as I write this blog post. My reign as champion of Douche of The Week has finally come to an end after an extraordinary four week run and I am really struggling with my emotions at the moment. Of all people, Joe Salzone knocked me off the pedestal with his nomination of Karl Rove.  Congratulations Joe, you made a great choice. Some callers even thought that Karl Rove should be nominated for Douche of The Decade for defying the House Judiciary Committee’s subpoena to testify in an inquiry into improper political meddling in the department. Read up on the case and tell us what you think of the choice of Karl Rove for Douche of the Week. Was Ted Stevens robbed of his title?

On Tuesday’s show we played two of the newest political ads to hit the airwaves. There’s one from Moveon.org , featuring Sean from Boy Meets World fame, which left Pete wondering whatever happened to his career. The ad is all about hope! Maybe it’s just us but we thought it was really corny and pointless. Also we played the latest John McCain approved ad that attacks Barack Obama for “not making time to visit injured troops while he was overseas. Was it a fair shot at Obama? I don’t think so. I think McCain’s campaign is desperate and pathetic but that’s just my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

Deep Breather Steve set off a firestorm of callers today when he claimed that Nazi’s had no religious affiliation. Several callers appeared to prove him wrong but DBS refused to call anyone “Daddy,” unlike Pete who gave in to demands from the PBM crew and the Dominick Clan and was forced to call Sean “Daddy.” It seems Pete has adopted Sean’s lingo and used the word redic (short for ridiculous) during Monday’s show. It was very humiliating for Pete. Go easy on him. Anyway, Deep Breather Steve’s comments were made within a much larger discussion. Should religious preachers be allowed to endorse politicians from the pulpit and not lose their tax exempt status for their church? I suppose one could make the argument that asking preachers to not talk about politics would be a from of censorship, but then again there is supposed to be a seperation of church and state. It seems as if politics have become infused with religious values and rhetoric and quite frankly I resent that. As a matter of fact…..I Reject and Denounce that idea. What do you think?

Terrorism is NEVER going to stop.  Pete brought up that there were three places attacked this weekend, all of which may or may not have been linked to one another.  Regardless of that, he also posed the question, “How do we stop terrorism?”  Pete loves to answer his own questions (along with laughing at his own jokes and pleasuring himself) and made the analogy that if someone hates you, you don’t punch them in the face.  It really is a hard decision to come to.  You really can’t punch someone in the face if they don’t like you, but if they hit you first, you do have to attack.  However, you can’t be “invading” the house two doors down from the prick who doesn’t like you…  You’re just giving him more of a reason to hate you (here’s a MAP for all of you who don’t remember the teachings of Rand McNally and didn’t catch my analogy).

Speaking of Terrorism, he also brought up kids and should you spank them.  I think all children should be spanked (and maybe some of the half-assed parents who have them).  I was hit twice as a child, once with the wooden spoon and once with a shoe.  I never acted up again.  That’s a lie.  I never got caught again!

In the last hour of Friday’s show Brian Dominick aka Pete’s Big Bro took on all PaulTards who were brave enough to stand by their man. We’d like to know your thoughts on Ron Paul and the segment with Brian. Who came out on top? Are all Ron Paul Supporters hypnotized and marching to the beat of a Zombie Nation that wants to privatize everything? Does he have some good ideas? What issues do you agree or disagree with him on?

If nothing else, the most important thing that you can take from the conversation is, if you’re ever attacked by zombies make sure you aim for the head. Thanks Tard!

Pete had Burk Sauls and Kathy Bakken on Friday’s show to bring attention to The West Memphis Three. An interesting story that could change drastically based on DNA evidence. What did you think of the interview? Did you learn anything? Will you get involved?

Yes ladies and gentlemen, I am still floating from my fourth consecutive victory on Douche Of The Week. What can I say, I know how to pick them. I trust that this audience will continue to make me proud and pick the best nominee, which will undoubtedly be mine.  This Week’s winner was Michael Savage who made some disaparaging remarks regarding kids with Autism.  Feel free to leave your comments and let us know how you feel about the Douche of the Week.  Keep your eyes open for Douches throughout the week, maybe we’ll leave a spot open for you. Thanks everybody!  Gotta go, I got a new Meat Mix to rock out to!

Your Trusty Board Op, Aaron
