I like it.

Is that you, by the way? If so, what recording software do you use? And what sort of input device? I miss my old PC's 1/4" jack that let me plug my guitar directly into the soundcard.

The software is Garageband.  Macs are the best...

Just use either a 1/4"-to-midi or 1/4"-to-1/8" adapter.

Thanks. You can guess just from that question how little effort I have put into recording lately.

You clearly have the most vital ingredient of success: drive. Keep it up.

Wow. This is a fantastic song. Seriously good work.

And now that the deal is "done" we are so screwed.

Who wants to bet the Boehner deal is just like the other one where $1T turned out to be less than $36M?

I like it.  Saw it mentioned on Instapundit.com yesterday.

Can't wait to send it to my libby friends.  Oh, that's right, they don't have a sense of humor.

Awesome! Totally Awesome!! /spicoli

That was a fantastic song. REALLY loved it. Really.

Haven't seen it in the top ten but it deserves to be over the other songs so far. Maybe a winner?

Gotta say that I find the judging on the Powerline contest pretty stupid. The best stuff didn't even make the top ten, let alone win.

So if we all "Go Galt" do we still have to pay?  I am not kidding.  The productive class needs to go on strike and refuse to produce for the leaches.  The producers need to take there ball and go home.

Yesterday it had a few hundred views on YouTube. Early this AM it 14,000 plus a few hundred views. It will be interesting to monitor the increase.

Saw it linked at Insty over the weekend but just now watched it.

WOW! Really good.

Reid holding the gun on the sperm cells is priceless ... and the tune's going to be rattling around in my head for the rest of the day! Excellent work.

Powerline owns it now.  I think they are going to release a free compilation of the powerline song entries on itunes.

Fantastic, will definitely be rattling around the brain pan for a while.

Are you ambidextrous?  I noticed you were playing different guitars both ways.  I can barely hack out something one way.  I'm still a percussionist until some one tells me otherwise.

RD Shadow,

It's funny how few people noticed that.  No, I am not ambidextrous.  I filmed the whole thing on my webcam and for some reason, some of the time, it films as if it is a mirror.  That is, everything is backwards.  Other times it films correctly.  I have no idea why that is.  I did, however, consider trying to pass it off as symbolic bi-partisanship.
