The Otin Interview (part 2)

As you know, ARMCHAIR MAGAZINE, sat down with that one named wonder named, OTIN, awhile back, in a league with other one namers like MADONNA, CHER, and PRINCE, here is the continuation of the interview(To read first part just go a few posts back):
Part 2:
AMC: You have often been called sarcastic, do you think that label fits?
OTIN: Oh yea, I can't help it, I just have a very cynical way of looking at things sometimes.
AMC: What do you think of the new President, how is he doing?
OTIN: If he can form a complete sentence than he is doing better than the former president(laughs), no I don't think he's had the job long enough to judge.
AMC: Are you a Republican or Democrat?
OTIN: A little bit of both, I am for smaller government, less taxes, but at the same time I think that there are a few social programs like healthcare that could be worked out.
AMC: What is your opinion on IRAQ?
OTIN: When it was about to start, I was on the phone with my dad, who is very right wing, and I told him that this was a huge mistake. Saddam was about a big of a threat to the United States as Costa Rica would be, we are never going to see a stable middle east, never, there are too many seperate groups wanting to control the area, mix that with religious beliefs and oil revenue, and you have a pretty messy scenario.
AMC: Should we still go after Bin Laden?
Otin: Why did we stop in the first place, he was the one we should have hunted down.
AMC: Are you a sports guy, if so do you have any favorite teams?
OTIN: I love baseball, being from Jersey, I grew up a yankees fan, and I like football, the Giants are the team I like, but I tend to see mostly Carolina Panther games. I watch some of the superspeedway Nascar races, but I don't really follow basketball too much. I like a good golf tournament also.
AMC: What is with all the space images on your blog?
OTIN: Nothing really, they just looked good to me, but I am a person that likes to contemplate the universe. I like to stargaze and watch programs on the universe.
AMC: But you are critical of the shuttle program?
OTIN: Well, it seems to me , that everytime we send the shuttle up, they end up having to fix it while in space, so that they can cross their fingers and hope it will survive a landing. It would be like driving your car to the grocery store knowing that you were going to have to patch your tires to get back home.
AMC: You told us where the name Otin came from, but where did Wizard of Otin originate?
OTIN: Well, after not going online for years, I searched an old email address that I used, and in searching the word "Otin", the Wizard of OZ came up in the search results, thus the origin of "The Wizard of Otin"
AMC:You previously said that your childhood was messed up, can you elaborate?
OTIN: It wasn't terrible, there was no abuse or anything like that, it's just that we were not very stable. My dad didn't pay his child support, my mom remarried for convenience, giving me three stepbrothers that were hyperactive children. We never had any money, my mother got busted shoplifting hamburger meat, and she also got busted for stealing a pack of kids socks. It seemed like we were always moving, sometimes just a few doors down. I remember eating fried eggs and toast two or three nights in a row for dinner. My mother used to cry because she would send us to school with sneakers that had holes in them. She worked hard to make things work, and I'm doing good now, so I really can't complain, sometimes you need the bad times so that you can know what's good in life.
AMC: You really respect your mother?
OTIN: Yea, Mothers have the hardest jobs of anyone. They never stop worrying about their children, even when the children grow up and leave.
AMC: Is there anything that bothers you?
OTIN: (Laughing) You got a few days? I think that political correctness drives me crazy. Why are people so easily offended? Nowadays, a persons entire life can be destroyed for uttering a single word, or voicing their opinions. You can say anything to me, and I will never be offended.
AMC: What is the most embarrasing thing you've done?
OTIN: I was pulling out of a gas station one time, and no one would let me out, so when I found a little break, I pulled out in front of this lady. She went crazy, flashing her lights and throwing her arms up. I started flipping her the bird and looking over my shoulder, mouthing obscenities. This went on for about a mile, until the passenger in my truck said, "Uh, Mike, we're driving in a funeral procession." I was very embarrassed.
