I was walking down Market Street in San Francisco today, in the sweltering heat, feeling like I was on a death march, and listening to the Adam Carolla podcast on my iPhone.

Since I was staying in the business / tourist center (Union Square), I went on an adventure to find an interesting neighborhood to explore. 45 minutes later I was still walking down empty streets, not a cute neighborhood in site.

Fortunately, I found a coffee shop on the corner of Page & Octavia, where I’ve planted myself all afternoon. My noontime coffee turned into an early afternoon iced coffee, which itself turned into a late afternoon beer.

Anyway, today’s guest on the show was “Republican Congressman” Richard Martin. About 5 minutes in to the hour long episode I stopped, sat down, and contemplated skipping this episode for the next one. The guy was so horrible.

Fortunately, I didn’t skip to the next episode. It took me about half the episode to realize that Richard Martin is a character, similar to Stephen Colbert.

I’ve been watching some of his clips on Youtube. Funny stuff. Here’s one:

His web site is Ask A Republican.
