Illinois wacky wacky Governor

Most people in this country and for that matter all the other countries have heard about my governor, Rod Blagojevich. He's the one that has been charged with trying to sell President Obama's vacated Senate Seat. Mind you he's not convicted, give us a few weeks on that. Tomorrow, the Illinois Senate will start the Impeachment Hearings. The Illinois House has already impeached him 117 - 1, the one no vote was (no kidding) his sister-in-law. If she had voted yes, Christmas and Thanksgiving would have been awkward at the Blago home.
So I made a video a while back called "My Governor is Nuts". I made the video because I had some time to kill and because my Governor is nuts. Last week, he compared the accusations to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Um, what???? He has had many press conferences saying that he is being picked on because he is trying to lower my taxes in Illinois. I think it had more to do with that senate seat thing myself. Blago also wanted to call various White House officials to the stand to verify he did not ask them for a bribe. I will testify he didn't ask me for a bribe either. It isn't about who he didn't ask, it's about who he did.
My only other comment is that he says it isn't fair to remove him and subsequently convict him without asking the people of Illinois. Let's pretend for a second he doesn't have an 8% approval rating (which he does). If he wants to ask each of us, my vote is step down and move out of my country before you are thrown in the slammer.

Youtube Popularity

So, you might have noticed I have added a poll on the right. I'm curious who your favorite youtuber is. So you can vote for as many as you want, the poll will stay up for a week. These are my favorites so now I'll talk about them. Everyone knows KevJumba and BoBurnham, great comedians that will be very rich thanks to Youtube and their talent. But there are lesser known channels with some pretty funny guys.

• 1DoubleMProductions1 are two guys in South Africa that have some insane skits and music videos (check out their Numa Numa and Toxicity).
• Hockeystar13 is another good one with skits, news of the weird, vlogs, and most unique use of a wig.
• OhNoCabbage should win just for the channel name if nothing else, but his humor and art are both great.
• TheRondoShow representing Canada is perhaps the coolest Canadian featuring great Vlogs and Skits (Please help him design a t-shirt and talk him into eating Habenero Peppers!!!) Even though Rondo never subscribed to my channel :(
• And then of course there's me, ok, I get it, I like my cats too much.
• And last but certainly not least is TheNaythanDude2200 representing Ireland. He is so friggin funny it absolutely kills me (check out Shopping Centor! and An UpDaTe).

So feel free to comment on this blog or any of my blogs and vote away. And subscribe to these guys if you haven't already.

Copyright and Youtube's Principal's Office

Ok, one more post on this my blog's inaugural day. I love music, the stranger the better. All of my videos have background music that is funny or inspirational or whatever. But here's the problem, some of the music I picked was copyrighted.
Have you ever tried to post a video on youtube only to have it regected because of copyright? I've encountered that twice. Then I got a message from youtube letting me know I shouldn't do that again. The message further informed me that I would be suspended or expelled from the virtual world.
I get that the guys who wrote the song make money when the song is played and paid for. But here's my thought, if my video is good (and that is a big if) I think it would make people go out and buy the song or the album. The other problem is some songs are copyrighted and some aren't. The website that I get the music from claims none of the songs are. Little did I know I would need a law school degree to make videos.
One of my two videos that had copyright issues will never be seen. The second video, "In Honor of the 44th President of the United States" was allowed to be posted. But if you look below the video, there is a link the song owner put on my video for people to buy the song. Fair enough.
So, please buy that song after seeing that video. I don't want to go back to the Principal's Office of youtube again.

My first ever blog

Welcome to my first blog posting! I created this to give some insight into my youtube channel and to rant and rave about whatever is going on in my corner of the world. So I think the best place to start is to tell you about my youtube channel.
If you have seen my videos, you will notice that there are three main characters; my calico cat Jubilee, my tiger cat Marcia, and me. Obviously I love my cats, but in having them in so many videos, I am becoming known as the cat guy. Ooops. What you haven't seen in my videos is my best friend who is the main commenter and promoter for our channel. If DeBenson has commented on one of your vids, the odds are he did it. I have tried to get him to be in my videos, but he declines and the cats get the supporting actor role. One day I will be successful in having him join in the video absurdity that is my channel.
The other thing about my channel is my avatar. That Blue Moon Motel thing. My buddy and I are both hotel peeps. I thought the Neon sign was appropriate.
So that's about it for now. Later I will be posting about some of my videos. I will also be talking about current events like the fact that we now have a new and incredible President of the United States!!!
