Well, we made it to the 1 year anniversary of Sound Check. It has been an interesting year with more laughs, banter, sound clips, and general foolery that one can only think….How did this show get a following? I will say that without the consistent guest on the show every week and the new ones that we picked up along the way, the show wouldn’t happen. So, thank you for getting us here, 1 year later.

Here are the show notes for Episode 56:

• Check out the intro…and of course our opening song by Televox.
• We have our random conversation about the weather and tornado’s and hurricane’s
• Do you think that Polar Bears would survive in Michigan in the winter?
• Was the Olympic location for this years summer games a good choice or a bad choice? Check out our opinions!
• We hit a speed bump on some Bush/McCain talk and the approval ratings of the Executive Branches in our government.
• When a new president comes into office, when do you expect to see some changes-30-60-90 days? Do you think that is has to happen in 1 or 2 years? See what we think. Also, with approval ratings in the dumper, how much does the bar have to be raised in order for the next president to secure the additional 4 years for an eight year term? Post your comments and I will read them on the air!
• Housing talk, and the infusion of 3.92 Billion $$ into the foreclosure market…is this just free $$ for landlords to spruce up their rentals or a waste of government money?
• Is Obama a large target to be assassinated because he is black?
• Are we at a point where the public needs to realize that it is time for “out with the old and in with the new mentality in the Senate and Congress?
• Patrick weighs in on his favorite assassination movie-Death of a President.
• Don’t forget to sign up for 50% off your first months rentals at Blockbuster by clicking this link and signing up! www.check12check12.com/blockbuster
• At what point is a movie franchise “dead?” I.e…Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Bond/007, and Batman.
  My opinions on the last topic answered….
• Listener question of the night…”Patrick…you are agreeing with CK a lot tonight…Are you in a relationship?”
• Fox 911 piece and how to make an ass out of yourself…
• Ever get a busy signal when you dial 911? Listen to what is happening in California.
• Social Media – www.rejaw.com What do you think of the amount of sites that are coming out to choose from and what attracts you to a Social Media site?
• Props to Paisano from Utterz.com for the post about Rejaw. Also don’t forget you can check out Paisano on www.mashable.com as a new writer for the web page! Congrats! Check out his latest post at Mashable – http://mashable.com/2008/08/07/issuu-platform/

• Patrick lends his 2 cents for the show….
• What did you say about my mom?
