We're re-listed with Podcast Pickle (we were lost in their server crash some time within the last few weeks).   All the 'ratings' we had before the crash are wiped.

You can help us regain our lost 'cred' by going to the site and writing a review of us there.  (A note from Steve:  Heck yes!  I have a tremendous jonesing for ratings on the Pickle, and I love it when we get ahead of, say, Face the Nation.  Take that, MSM!)

We've found a lot of good music to share with you, and will be getting our next episode up sometime soon.

When we said we wanted a Green podcast, we didn't mean it to be the color of our gills...but such was the reality of our existence for the past few weeks.  We're crawling back to experience the sun and the outdoors once again, and given the state of politics here in the U.S., we're considering just going back to bed and pulling the covers over ourselves once again.

Alas, all isn't lost, as we discuss Farpoint and our adventures bringing the Green message to the science fiction crowd...plus we cover the Green primaries and who has the lead there and in which states...plus some extended discussion of Ralph Nader.  And there's music in this episode!  Come hear the first of our acquisitions from the Podsafe Music Network, and sway to the peace-driven tones of Dan Coyle!

A big shout to our fellow podcasters at Farpoint:

• Michelle and Jason, from the Galactica Quorum...if you dig Battlestar Galactica, listen here!
• The Command Line, for the best in technology and society, and their intersection,
• Jared Axelrod, The Voice of Free Planet X,
  
• Heather Welliver, of Grailwolf's Geek Life (who really dug Lise's knitting!)
• J.R. Blackwell, and the fantastic fiction of 365 Tomorrows,
• Martha Holloway and Paul Fischer of Dancing Cat Studios, and their terrific and eclectic ADDCast, and
• Tee Morris of podiobooks.com, author of Podcasting for Dummies!

And in other news:

• Marc Steiner fans sound off in the Baltimore Sun
• John McCain gets the treatment in the New York Times
• The Hidden Message explains how delegates are proportionally allocated - and why you should pay attention...

Our DemoChoice IRV poll is closed. Out of 15 votes, and 4 rounds of voting, we had 9 for Jesse Johnson, 5 for Nader and 1 for 'none of these'.  Follow the link for detailed round by round results.

Also, Jesse Johnson's campaign web page is up and running.  Please check it out.

Now I'm beginning to recover, and Steve is running a fever.  We'll try to put together something from the cutting room floor and some podsafe music as soon as we can.

As Super Tuesday bears down on us, the sanctity of our secret headquarters has been violated - by the flu.  Yes, in circumstances worthy of a John Edwards stump speech, my dear wife is reduced to short bouts of playing silly, unchallenging computer games before coughing her head off and weakly croaking for more chicken soup.  And I, the son of a mill worker, am forced to care for her without -- oh, wait, sorry...took it a bit too far.  Anyway, we'll have news soon after Super Tuesday, updating the Republican, Democratic, and Green races and other substantive topics (Hint: Kent Mesplay beats Mitt Romney on hairstyle alone!)

In the meantime, you might enjoy pointing your browser at The Hidden Message, our somewhat related blog site.  It isn't all politics, but it is all us...and Lise even manages to make a few entries, given that - thankfully! - she doesn't have to talk.
