Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday July 29th at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)

This summer, singer, actor, dancer, songwriter and composer Justin Stein is traveling around the country as the official opening act for Corbin Bleu’s 2008 summer tour. He gets a rare night off on Tuesday and has decided to spend some of it with Dr. B and Dangerous Lee.

We’ll find out what life on the road is like for this 18-year-old performer and get the scoop on what’s upcoming for this rising star.

Also, author Bill Folman stops by with his political comedy, The Scandal Plan: Or: How to Win the Presidency by Cheating on Your Wife. This presidential election farce is far more entertaining than the actual race. Its like Wag the Dog, only less wagging and more shagging.

All that, plus Las Vegas performer Daniel Lowery, Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge to chat live with the listeners, Justin the Weatherman and we’ll take your calls at 646-652-4804.

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. The Radio Happy Hour Lounge-a live chat room during show time-is a whole new reason to make sure you listen live! It’s the show within the show!

Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday May 13th at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)

Its going to be a wild hour when Dr. Blogstein and Dangerous Lee host three highly controversial authors. If you’re a closeted gay hip hop artist, American woman or political figure, I’d recommend you skip this show!

First, Terrance Dean, a former MTV producer and hip hop exec who is about to release a book that will ‘out’ some of the biggest names in music and Hollywood. While “Hiding in Hip Hop” doesn’t name names, it doesn’t take Ben Matlock to figure out who Dean is claiming to be on the “down low.”

We’ll press Dean for names, find out why he wrote this book and explore hip hop’s deepest, darkest secrets.

Then, author Michael H. Brown will tell us why “American Women are Crazy“. Brown promises that by telling us about his experiences, he’ll save men “a mountain of grief, a ton of money, and the myriad of hassles known in American marriage today.”

Will he convince Dr. B to marry a Russian woman from a catalog? Will he convince Vinny Bond not to attempt marriage again? Will he survive the wrath of Dangerous Lee?

Also, searing political commentary from cartoonist and author Jen Sorenson, whose “Slowpoke” comic strip is published weekly in over 20 alternative newsweeklies throughout America and new book, “Slowpoke: One Nation, Oh My God!“, is currently on sale.

As if all that isn’t enough, we’ll also find out what its like to meet “Philsquatch” and hear a new remix of “Radio Jesus” courtesy of DJ Reasons.

All that plus , Vinny in the Radio Happy Hour Lounge chatting live with the listeners, Justin the Weatherman and we’ll take your calls at 646-652-4804

Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday November 6th at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)

To show solidarity to the striking members of the Writers Guild, the Radio Happy Hour will once again be totally unscripted!

Political cartoonist Lloyd Dangle stops by to give us his humorous analysis of current events. We’ll find out from the creator of “Troubletown” which of the presidential candidates will give him the most material for his cartoon, how many death threats a political cartoonist can expect to receive and what its like to grow up with a last name like “Dangle”.

Also, Hollywood producer John Loar will join us. Loar, head of one year old Red Bird Cinema, a joint venture with actor Kevin Pollak and St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, will discuss the Sugar Ray Leonard biopic they has in the works. We’ll also get his opinion of the Writers Guild strike and find out if we’re in for a steady diet of reality TV for the next few months.

All that plus, Dangerous Lee co-hosts, SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE CYBERWAVES Vinny Bond drags his Big Leather Couch into the Radio Happy Hour Lounge and chats live with the listeners, and your calls at 646-652-4804.

John Bootie (left) describes himself as “the man who makes Rush Limbaugh look liberal” and he wants to be the next president of the United States. We’ll find out what he stands for, what he’s doing to get on the ballot and how he expects to get enough votes to win the White House when he’s only collected 52 friends on MySpace!

Also, essayist and storyteller Alaina R. Alexander (right) will bring some much needed intellect to the Radio Happy Hour. She has a rags to almost riches back to rags story to share. We may also get to meet her alter ego Lou-Lou who is famous for “telling it like it is.”

All that, plus Sara from “Blogger Idol” will tell us what “Blogger Idol” is, Vinny will give us his thoughts on the controversial Sopranos finale, Jane returns after a week off and, of course, your calls at 646-652-4804.

Join us live every Tuesday night at 9PM ET . And if you miss us then, we’re ALWAYS ON at BlogTalkRadio and our Radio Happy Hour affiliates found in the right sidebar. In fact, do yourself a favor and click here to SUBSCRIBE TO THE RADIO HAPPY HOUR!

The controversy is that Ann Coulter called John Edwards a “faggot.”

Let’s go to the video tape:

I submit that Ann Coulter is a despicable, opportunistic media whore who says things simply for the shock value. This is just another example of her doing this, except this time it’s slightly funny.

I don’t think she was calling John Edwards gay. She knows he’s not gay and frankly I’d be surprised if she herself wasn’t a lesbian.

I believe she was using the word “faggot” the same way fifth graders use the word—to describe someone as a wuss. She was also making a pop culture reference to the actor from Grey’s Anatomy who went to rehab for calling a fellow cast member, who really was gay, a “faggot.”

Call me insane, call me insensitive but I really think she used some good comedic devices in that clip. She made fun of Edwards’ stance on Iraq and she made fun of the ridiculous reasons some celebrities (Isaiah Washington and Michael Richards) enter rehabilitation centers all in one joke. I think it was fairly well done. Plus, as any comedian would be impressed with, she knew her audience. She was speaking to the Conservative Political Action Committee and knew just what would make them laugh.

In this instance and this instance only, I defend her. You may think her joke wasn’t funny. You may think that she should leave the comedy to comedians. But I think she tried to make the audience laugh and judging by the clip, she succeeded.

Okay, now I’m ready for my flogging.

“My Point Radio” of the BTR network went back on the air this morning still glowing from their show Monday night which featured me as their guest.

As you’ll recall, because it was only two days ago and because I wont stop reminding you, I was such a huge hit that Alan Levy, the CEO of Blog Talk Radio, called in to offer me my own show (which will debut next month!)

But back to this morning’s show, click here then go to the player on the right hand side of the page. Press play and fast forward to the 15:40 mark to where they begin talking about yours truly. You’ll here things like David Odeen of “My Point” saying that my appearance was a “huge success” and Jenn of the Jungle of “Screw Politically Correct BS” saying that I have a “great radio voice.” I couldn’t agree with them more!

Keep listening though, because at the 17:43 mark you’ll hear Jenn refer to our Jewish Puerto Rican African Indian American Princess Tisha as a “stalker.” Uh oh! I do hope Jenn knows what kind of wrath she’s opened herself up for!

We may have to settle this when Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour debuts in February on Blog Talk Radio!

Have I mentioned that I have a new show coming?

UPDATE 1/19/07 According to David Odeen of “My Point Radio”, my appearance on his show was his most downloaded show ever! He indicates that I “blew away” his previous high.

Tonight at 7:00 PM ET I’m hitting the air waves! As you see in my previous post, your’s truly will be a guest on “My Point,” a live, one hour program carried on Blog Talk Radio. The show can be heard live by following this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hostpage.aspx?show_id=8482 and I believe it will remain archived there forever. Lucky me.

The show is hosted by David Odeen of “My Point” and “Jenn of the Jungle” of “Screw Politically Correct BS” and is a political and current event talk show from a conservative point of view. According to Blog Talk Radio, I’m being billed as a “very funny conservative blogger.”

Now, I’ve always known myself to be “very funny” (though I would have described me as EXTREMELY funny) but as far as being “conservative,” that was news to me. I sure as hell aint “Colmes” but I never considered myself “Hannity” either. I suppose if the hosts keep the discussion on killing terrorists and hating Osama bin Laden I’ll be okay, but if they ask for my views on abortion or whether or not I care about gay marriage, then they may not like me anymore. We’ll see.

According to Odeen’s blog “My Point” they plan on engaging me in conversation about such things “as some of our favorite authors, like Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.” But beyond that, I have no idea what they plan on filling the 90 minutes with. But I’m coming prepared!

• I watched last night’s premiere of the kick-ass, sixth season of 24 in case they decide to talk about that. (For the record, I’d have watched 24 regardless of this interview or not.)

• I watched President George W. Bush’s interview on 60 Minutes that aired last night.

• I bought a newspaper, though truth be told, I haven’t read it yet. (Anything happen that I should know about?)

• I re-watched Saddam getting hanged (or hung?)

Hopefully, that will be enough to keep me interesting. If not, please be my safety valve. Its a “call-in” show so feel free to call in. The number is (347) 996-5948. Call in, say hi, join the discussion, start a new discussion, whatever.

And also, feel free to use the comment section below to let me know how I’m doing, what I should do, how I did, how smart I am, how you want my body, whatever.

UPDATE! 1/16/07: My appearance on “My Point”, including the CEO of BlogTalkRadio offering me my own show, can be heard here…

Stay tuned for details of The Dr. Blogstein Radio Happy Hour coming to BlogTalkRadio in February!

(WORLD WIDE WEB) Dr. Blogstein of the increasingly popular DrBlogstein.com will be a guest tomorrow on “My Point,” a live, one hour program carried on Blog Talk Radio. The show can be heard at 7:00 PM ET (6PM CT, 4PM PT)on Monday evening by following this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hostpage.aspx?show_id=8482

“My Point,” which is hosted by David Odeen of “My Point” and “Jenn of the Jungle” of “Screw Politically Correct BS” is a political and current event talk show from a conservative point of view. Recently the program had been rated as the sixth most popular show on Blog Talk Radio.

“This will be fun,” Dr. Blogstein said, “I’m honored to have been invited to be a guest on such a serious radio show. I hope they know what they’re getting themselves into.”

“My Point” radio show encourages listeners to call in and join the discussion. The number to get on the air is(347)996-5948.

Let me get something out of the way before I begin: I realize that this will be my fourth consecutive post about something having to do somewhat with US politics. Normally, I like to spread my topics around so not to bore myself or my readers but I ultimately write about what I’m thinking about–and its hard not to think about politics before, on and after election day. So if you’re tired of the subject, go here and read about the Britney and K-Fed divorce, you loser.

Now that that’s been said, I think we need a fat president. Seriously, come 2008, I really hope there is a viable overweight candidate wanting to lead our nation.

Forget for a moment that our president is supposed to represent all Americans as a whole and if you look around you (or better yet, if you’re able to look around the people around you) you’ll see a ton (pun intended) of super sized citizens–push that aside for a moment–I’m just sick and tired of having a president that has enough time to work out.

I am not the leader of the free world and I don’t have time to work out. (Truth be told, its the desire to work out that I lack, I have plenty of time that I just waste with you or my best friend the TV.)

But back to what I was saying, it irritates me to see the president jogging or riding a bike when he could be working. I want a president who doesn’t have time to leave his desk so he has to eat in the oval office. I want my president to eventually grow into the shape of the oval office.

We almost had it with Bill “Bubba” Clinton who got my vote simply because he loved McDonald’s. But just like all politicians, once he got elected, it was a whole new ball game. He eventually lost weight and took up running and got real fit.

In fact, we haven’t had a fat president since the back-to-back lard asses of Teddy Roosevelt and William H. Taft (left). Since then, its been all these athletic types. JFK who sailed boats and Gerald Ford who fell a lot and Ronald Reagan who rode horses.

Its time for a man to lead this great country of ours. A real man–a man who eats a big steak, a man who asks for a second helping and a man too busy to spend time on a treadmill. We need a man with guts and a gut! We need a fat guy to lead us!

If you want my vote in 2008, you best be skipping the gym to get some real work done. If you’re not huffing and puffing after walking up a flight of stairs, you’re probably not working hard enough.

Today is Election Day.

Today, your right to complain is decided.

After today, if you did not vote, you no longer have a right to complain about any politician in office. You have a chance to cast a vote for a senator, congressman, governor, assemblyman, whatever, whatever or whatever that you will eventually be complaining about. That would be your right for you helped vote them in.

If the candidate of your choice loses, you will be complaining about the winner for two, four, five or however many years. That is okay, it’s your right because you tried to vote your preferred candidate in.

A vote today is a vote to insure (or ensure—I’m never certain about those two words) an unopposed and unalienable right to whine, complain and belly ache. So pull that lever, punch that card or push that button and then grumble, nit pick and criticize when your elected official ultimately and predictably lets you down.

Vote to Whine!

And while I’m on the subject of voting: I really think that election officials should dip our fingers in ink after we vote like they do in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think it would be fun to walk around with that badge of honor all day. Plus, I think it would encourage more people to vote since we’ll be able to see and ridicule those lazy, clean-finger people.
