Radio Interview Went Well (Enuf). NewsRadio 700WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio did indeed call me Monday nite shortly after 10:30pm, and its streaming audio on the Internet empowered some of my colleagues elsewhere in the U.S. and at least Britain to listen.

The host, Scott Sloan, is very good at what he does -- if exhaustingly energetic -- and he (or someone on his staff) had done his homework, so presented for me to respond to, some of my stances from the Schoonmaker 2000 webpage -- tho they apparently did not pick up on the update, to the 2004 campaign, Schoonmaker 2004.

Scott (or should I call him "Mr. Sloan", since we don't really know each other? naa -- this is the United States, and we're quite casual about these things) asked a full menu of questions specific to one of my many (c. 153) webpages. I had little wiggle-room to talk about other concerns, but I did manage to get two key URLs out into the void, OntarioUSA.org and UnitedNorthAmerica.org. I also made plain that anyone can find the "Expansionist Party of the United States" easily thru any search engine.

I did not get to mention either www.usataiwan.org (a site that promotes "Commonwealth" status for Taiwan) or www.TOP-Party.tk (a Philippine-statehood site. (FYI, "tk" is the Internet abbreviation for Tokelau, a New Zealand territory in the South Pacific.)
+
Nor (I am ashamed to admit) have I yet updated the United States International website to show the USA-Taiwan Commonwealth Foundation or a Taiwan statehood organization (whose website has apparently been sabotaged by the government of Taiwan and/or mainland (Communist) China, as a member of USI, or even the Philippine statehood site, which has changed URLs of late. I've been very busy, but that is pretty near inexcusable. Frankly, I need help in managing these various interrelated websites.
+
In any case, I closed out last nite's radio interview by trying to make the point that perhaps the single most serious issue facing Americans today is PERSONAL DEBT. I also tried to alert listeners to the fact that I discuss that issue, at (eloquent) length, at the Schoonmaker 2004 presidential-election website.

Till next time, here's my tribute to my British colleague Jeremy Pender, who found the streaming-audio site for us and encouraged his British contacts to listen: Ta ta!, cheerio, and all that rot!
