No Full Moon: But Political Election Cycles Lead Many to Witness Abbott & Castello-like Antics

Even without a full moon, politics, especially in a frenzied election cycle, can bring out some odd characters, conversations and thought processes.  To add, there is plenty of jostling for position, esteem and political clout-collecting, especially in politically rocky times.  Roller derby style acts by "activists" seeking their day in the sun abound. In a nutshell--literally--politics does freaky things to people; such as, having Abbot and Costello-like conversations. You know the kind, "Who's on first, What's on second, I Don’t know is on third," and "Why is in the outfield."  Politicians have no more monopoly on strange antics than they do on awkward speeches.

I just had one of those conversations with a “Facebook friend." This friend--a networking acquaintance--invited me to his "event" on Patcnews page. I went there but could not find out anything about it. I checked the latest YouTube video he posted; but the link was just a black screen. I inquired of  a guy name Mark, who invited me to the "event," for some information. My mistake. I should have learned from Castello.  After sending me the same link over and over with the same results, he asked if I could get on air; and asked if I wanted the call-in number. "The call in number to what?" I thought.  I said, that was not a problem since I’ve been doing my own show for some time. (We were talking about YouTube but suddenly we were on to Blogtalkradio). The conversation digressed rapidly from there. He accused me of lying; said I was not the owner of Patcnews [really?]; said my show had never been on Patcnews [that would be an affirmative]; he was the owner, LLC; said he knew Sean Hannity personally...Yada, yada.

It went like this:

Me: Hi Mark,
Thanks for the invite to the Patcnews. What is the purpose of this page event? Thanks.

Mark: link to share http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Low9FvKqzc

Me: OK, point [is] to post news we find applicable to patriotic conservatives? Then, July 18th is not really an "event" day? But this is ongoing, eh?

Mark: Yep Since the March 18, 2010 BP Spill that will always be with me

Me: Gotcha. But the link only shows a blank screen that doesn't load. Is there another link?

Mark: Yes Youtube

Me: I loaded the video that was posted today, and it says it is playing. It is neither buffering nor playing. Just sits with a black screen.

Mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Low9FvKqzc look again;

play now;

Play now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Low9FvKqzc look again

Me: Yeap that is one of four I've attempted to play. Nothing. Inputed Patcnews manually in the Youtube browser--page called Patcnews Channel comes up but none of the videos will load. Just black space while it says it is playing. Is there any chance your channel has been blackballed/censored?

Mark: Sheryl can [you]  get on the Air Live ????   Would you like the Call in Number ????

Me: I'm assuming it is playing for you or you wouldn't keep encouraging me to try again. Nothing still. Please clear your cache and see if a fresh load plays, k?

Call in number is good. Is this an online show?

Mark: Yes Blog Talk Radio. Patcnews

Me: And yes, considering I have my own radio show, I can get on the air live. ;-) Ok. [is] the name the same on btr?

Mark: Yes. Where is your youtube Channel ???  I do all my Viedos (sic.) myself

Me: Allfiredupradio...also on www.allfiredupmedia.com under Foundation of a Nation

Mark: All Fried UP.  This is Not good. I'm been on this before.*

Me: K. I searched Patcnews and Patcnews Channel and got a lot of most popular podcasts under other shows. ???

Mark: Not the Truth

Me: All fired Up not good? Huh? Not the truth?

Mark: All Fired up Not My Network Patcnews.   All Fired up Not My Network Patcnews. Look I have a Facebook page For My Broadcast

[Mark deleted a link here, which was the Facebook page for his YouTube page.]

Me: Hmmm. that is true, I didn't say I was. I just said I could get on air-been doing it for some time. Did not mean to imply I was part of Patcnews.  I can't even find Patcnews....yet. lol.

Mark: That is a Lie You where never Part of Patcnews.  I'm The Owner LLC FCC I'm good friends with Sean Hannity. your Block now Sheryly (sic.) 

Oh boy.  I can't even blame this on a full moon.

As they say on Facebook, “Rolling on the floor, laughing out loud”—with Abbot and Costello.
