This week I decided to start doing a podcast. This podcast covers current events, news, politics, weird news, and worthless news - news that shouldn't be considered news. I hope you enjoy it!
Podcast Outline/Notes:
Week in Headlines
- Obama Gun Control http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2013/01/16/obama-to-announce-gun-control-proposals-shortly/
- NRA reacts to Gun Control http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/16/nra-obama_n_2488649.html
La Pierre "I warned you this day was coming and now it’s here," LaPierre wrote. "This is the fight of the century and I need you on board with NRA now more than ever. My strength, and the strength of our entire NRA organization comes from you and your strong commitment to our membership...
"The NRA sat in on a White House meeting that was sold to the public as an ‘open discussion’ about how to improve school safety," he continued. "But that was a dirty lie. They didn’t listen to gun owners’ concerns … they didn’t consider any real solutions on how we can keep our kids safe. Instead Barack Obama, Joe Biden and their gun ban allies in Congress only want to BLAME you, VILIFY you, BULLY you, and STRIP you of your Second Amendment freedoms."
Wrote LaPierre, "Right now, they’re steamrolling ahead with legislation that would ban your guns, register your ammunition purchases, and even force you to register the firearms you already own with Obama’s anti-gun bureaucrats."
Most of the actions are reinforcing existing laws and expanding mental health issues which are things the NRA has been calling for. Including armed gaurds in schools which Obama said there will be funding for schools who want it. So he gave them everything they asked for.
NRA released a game for smartphones to shoot any kind of gun and made it avaiable for 4 years+, yet say guns in video games are contributing to gun violence?

- Prankster Registers As Obama - http://www.heraldextra.com/news/weird-news/weird-news---detective-prankster-registered-as-obama-in/article_2a8558b4-6027-11e2-b5ad-001a4bcf887a.html Roskovski said county elections records showed nobody tried to vote using the bogus registration card, though filling it out falsely could be a felony — perjury — or a misdemeanor of making a false unsworn statement.The handwritten card also lists the president's birth date — 8/4/61 — though whoever wrote it put '81 as the birth year before scratching it out. Roskovski said it's possible the prankster was born in the '80s and used the wrong digit before realizing the mistake.The address listed on the card used to belong to a former dormitory at Slippery Rock University, a state-owned school in the county, which is one reason Roskovski assumes it was filled out as a prank. Another reason: The voter's listed phone number was 555-5555.Because the card is from 2008, county elections officials have no recollection of receiving it or entering it into a statewide database of registered voters, which is where the last name is spelled with an 'n,' Roskovski said. He assumes the card was processed in good faith by an elections worker who was busy with a large number of newly registered voters.
- Woman holds her own heart after transplant - “[Penny] is holding her own heart. She has survived cancer and crippling heart failure and never lost hope,” Kelsey wrote along with the image.“She wanted to keep it but they wouldn’t let her! I said the same thing.

Manti Te'o online and on phone relationship, according to Notre Dame he never met her in person or video chat through services like Skype. Then died of leukemia. Then while Te'o was at an ESPN awards ceremony he recieved a call from her: her voice, her number. He was so embarrassed he kept quiet for weeks before saying anything, and Notre Dame hired private investigators to look into it. Was he in on a prank, was he the victim of a hoax? Who knows.
- gov Perry says prayer is the solution to gun violence
- Santorum doesn't want to “make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/01/03/396428/santorums-racist-welfare-rant/?mobile=nc
It’s hard to say which part of the story is stranger — that Santorum spontaneously derided poor black people in response to a question about foreign money or his explanation of why he did it
CBS points out that only nine percent of Iowans on food stamps are black — and 84 percent are white. Nationally, 39 percent of welfare recipients are white, 37 percent are black, and 17 percent are Hispanic. So Santorum’s decision to single out black welfare recipients plays right into insulting — and inaccurate — stereotypes of the kind of people some voters might expect to want a “handout.”
