SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow brought to you this week by Vote For Change. Did you register? It has to be done by today! (at least here in Florida)

After the debates this past week, how could the guys not talk about voting! We learned that J is pretty apathetic and Ross is completely so! This led to some great discussion not only live but which continued afterward in the SomaCow Media Green Room.

This is a tough subject for me. I absolutely believe you have the right to vote, but it drives me batshit insane when someone doesn’t vote! Oh, my vote doesn’t count…Oh I don’t believe in the process…Oh no one represents me anyway. Bullshit. If you don’t like the system then VOTE someone else in! Get out there, stand on the street corner, make your voice heard not only through that opening in your head but also through the person you get to represent you! And if the other person wins, then always talk to your representative! They still represent you! Sure, you have the right not to vote and some might even say you still have the right to complain afterward but don’t do it around me! I have the right to kick you in the private parts, don’t I? Oh, Congressman!

Speaking of private parts and other lighter news, Howard Stern got married, OJ was arrested, and some old lady shot herself and got a free home out of it.

And rounding out the hour, some kid… a 7 year old!… went into a zoo and fed animals from said zoo to a crocodile! What is WRONG with kids today? It made me think, what could I be doing, or not doing, to Rowan right now that would trigger such awful behavior. Yeah, at 7 I would totally still blame the parents. That is one fucked up kid they made.

And in music this week, shortly but sweetly?

• Indifference – Bike Thieves Can Suck It

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you this week by MoveOn.org where you can get free stuff!

In this hour, we discussed politics… Which puts me in a bad mood, so I will sing a song to try and get happy once more.

Douchebags from Detroit with axes to grind;
Slightly hot milfs with right-leaning minds;
Old broke-down white men, calling the shots;
This is the crap that’s pissing me off.

Fat film directors pocketing cash;
the heat from my thighs and subsequent rash;
The fact that J keeps having to cough;
This is the crap that’s pissing me off.

Nazi wenches raising white honkies;
Mass media talking to us as we were donkeys;
Poorly written parodies that do not rhyme;
This is the crap that’s pissing me ime.

When the mic cracks,
When Mickey sings,
when I think we blew,
I realize that Ross is gone the whole week,
And then I feel, less blue.

Not really. See you next week, Ross.

We jammed ON it to the following bands:

• The Vandals – Favorite Things

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Bounty Paper Towels! For all your sopping needs, the quicker picker upper will get your water beefalopes tumble-dry in NO time! Whatever.

In this hour, we whet our appetites with a tale of three men, hunkered and blown by the vicious Tropicane Fay. Thrill to stories both musty and drippy as Geoff recants his harrowing experience, where 13 minutes without power almost led to cannibalization of his pets and family. Witness J brought to tears as he watched, harrowedly, his dachshunds, Johnsonville and Pepperidge whisked down the street and into a hotdog cart. Agonize with us as Mickey describes the storm’s path in harrowing but completely inaccurate detail!

It’s all here, in this, our squishiest hour!

We also talk about Obama Mit Biden, and their obvious decision to join teams in an effort to get McCain elected. WTG, dream team! Too bad we couldn’t have fielded the Louis Farrakhan/Richard Simmons ticket, which might have brought more of America out. Stupid Democrats. Maybe McCain will spontaneously crystallize into a fossil and give this country a chance.

Also, we at SomaCow are asking for a grassroots initiative. If you listen to the show, you are being charged with a responsibility – Fire your local news team. All of them. The whole smarmy, wool suited, over-lip-glossed, sassy, white teethed, brainless, thoughtless, rude, senseless pile of them. Refuse to watch the news until they fix themselves, and stop tuning in to the car wreck that modern media has become. We all deserve better.

We fought the sog to the following dope beats!

• The Bellrays – Footprints on Water
