The Blindspot Mission Statement:
At Blindspot we plan to bring to our listeners a few of our thoughts on a variety of subjects, and always from the point of view of bringing to light things that are rarely considered. We explore the cultural and social currents that are less popular, the music and film that is less known and the views that are less considered. The things you may have missed.
This is the Blindspot.
While unabashedly liberal, we take the approach of using reasoned, clear thinking, free of hype, sensationalism, or knee-jerk armchair liberalism. We are progressive, and we know why we are. We have firm views, but we’re not dogmatic. We’re no comedians, but we’ve got a sense of humor. We’re not cynics, but we’re hardly surprised by the influence that big money wields over our lives, shaping our supposedly democratic outcomes, distorting the forms of music, art, literature and film that we love.
We’re not rebels, but we’re going against the grain. We’re older, but not old-fashioned.
We look forward to the future and our place in it. We don’t know where it’s all going to lead, but we’re excited by the prospect of the trip itself. We hope you feel something similar, but in your own way. Join us for a brief, but fun, ride.

"Winning" Libya!
This episode finds Brent and I mulling over recent events in Libya and the international community's response to it, in particular the US. Brent raised some interesting issues for our consideration, namely:
Should we have even gotten involved in Libya? Why or why not?
Now that we're in, what should happen?
What do you think about calls that the President should have had more consultation with both houses of Congress?
How are the Republicans doing on this issue? Ideologically consistent?
What do you the listener think of U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich's call for impeachment?
In the end, should we have just left Gaddafi alone?
Take a few minutes to listen to the show, and please, let us know your thoughts?
Thanks - the Blindspot Team -

Fishbonicity!
Hello to all of the new Blindspot subscribers and listeners, we appreciate your time in listening to our show so we won't waste it! Tonight's show features the last of the truly great Ska bands: Fishbone. A friend of mine once said his father liked them because their music had an elegance; mind you, this was no dyed-in-the-wool liberal (although he did vote for Jimmy Carter back in the day) he just knew these dudes were the truth. I've got a "horn 'o plenty" of Fishbone for this podcast so just sit back and enjoy the ride!
