Is it just me or is the *vast* majority of political humor (including newspaper editorial cartoons) just, y'know . . . *not funny*?

How the Vatican *Almost* Recognized Israel in the 1980s
FAVORITE QUOTE: “Ben-Horin’s diplomatic style was particularly appreciated by the Vatican because of his proverbial discretion and his familiarity with ‘Vaticanese, the special language of the Vatican,’ as he puts it. ‘Secretary of State Agostino Casaroli was a master of Vaticanese. He managed to speak silence in 8 languages.'”

Podcast Help
I'm starting a podcast, and to that end I've been making preparations for it.
I've got things set up on the podcast-creation end of things, but I have yet to decide which service I'm going to use to host the podcast, by which I mean: Where the files will be stored online, how they will be uploaded, and what service will send out the RSS feed.
I have researched some podcast services on my own, but I thought I'd ask if anyone with podcasting experience had suggestions of good services to use OR bad ones to stay away from.
Here are a few of things I'm looking for in particular:
1) I want the service to produce an embedable player with start/pause functionality as well as scrubbing (that's where it's got a slider bar so you can drag the little doo-dad to the point in the podcast you want to listen to, like on videos for YouTube).
2) I want to embed this player here on my blog, which is hosted by TypePad. Ideally, I'd like it to automatically publish each episode to TypePad, but manually embedding the html might be a possibility.
3) I'm going to be doing this podcast from a Mac, so software or services that work only with Windows aren't an option. (Mac can run Windows stuff if you set it up to do that, but I don't want to do that right now. I'm still learning the Mac OS.)
4) I'm planning on making the podcast available through iTunes, so anything that would make it incompatible with iTunes won't work.
Also, I'd be particularly interested to know if anyone has used the service Hipcast (hipcast.com) and, if so, what their experience with it was.
Any thoughts?
