A Novel Approach to Podcasting. Can't get published? Podcast. That what writers are finding. Ironically, giving something away for free leads to sales. If books are going this way, it's only a matter of time before webcasts become cost effective enough to have actors putting together their own shows. I've seen some seriously high quality work by scifi fans. The acting was dreadful but the effects and production value were very good. Not quite ready for prime time but considering the budget they must have had, really good. If they got the production team together with some good writers and professional actors (as opposed to fans) you would see something marketable. You might even see a major network pick up the show for cable. Take another genre like drama or comedy and the production cost plummets and you have lowered the barrier to entry even further. It's going to get very interesting.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
