The Delivery Presents: Votes, Vacuous Foreign Policy, and “V”.

Episode 10 of The Delivery is large, in charge, and dressed snappier than El DeBarge.

Okay, even I’m willing to admit that was weak but it’s not easy to find new ways of saying “Hey, here’s the podcast” and just kind of lobbing it toward you like it was a lukewarm brewski. Still, you can get the podcast using any of the usual methods — listening on the Take That web page, direct download (right-click and save, please!), or the very free and very convinient iTunes subscription.

The first half of this week’s show was pretty easy to do. I wish I had another 15 minutes to delve more into the Honduras and Nicaragua stories, but I had to let them lie where they were when time ran out. I do intend on writing a bit more on the subject because there is more I believe needs to be said. Both stories are horribly underreported by the more visible personages in the MSM and even in the right-side blogosphere and I think that’s a mistake. If 9/11 taught us nothing else, it should have taught us that foreign policy matters, even when we think it doesn’t.

The second half wandered a bit, as it is wont to do. I started out talking about the new “V” miniseries (which I have yet to watch, so no spoilers, please!) and moved over to the reason that sci-fi makes for good stories when you concentrate less on the cool tech and more on what the cool tech means to the characters. There’s also some “Dune” talk in there as well, since a new version of that movie is on the near horizon as well.

You may notice also that the show segments are a little bit shorter than normal. There’s a reason for that, which involves a bit of good news for the show that may be coming down the road in the near future. I’ll tip you to it later, when details and circumstances allow. I don’t want to box the deal before it’s done.

The mid-show song is “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon. That is, by the way, my favorite pop song ever, so it was only a matter of time before it showed up.

Also, the show graphic? It made me laugh. Good stuff there from SuperMegaProducer Mike

These, by the way, are the ads I was talking about in Virginia and New Jersey. Note that the Jersey ads are humongous billboards, and they ran relative late in the election.
