Weekend’s here! Ah, so much to do, so little motivation. XM’s “Deep Cuts” channel is currently playing the “Deep Tracks Essential 5002” in alphabetical order. They’re finishing up “G” early this morning. Last night, I caught (among many other things) a killer live version (21 minutes worth) of Rare Earth doing “Get Ready” and the California Guitar Trio doing “Ghost Riders on the Storm” – an acoustic guitar fusion of “Ghost Riders in the Sky” and “Riders on the Storm,” and a great live version of “Gimmee Shelter.” Really hit my “G” spot.
And to think, I owe it all to Danny Goldberg. If it wasn’t for him, I’d have been listening to AAR.
Morning/Evening everyone…
Hey listen up! Do you guys remember the The Freeway Blogger? There is a call to arms for Jan. 8th and 9th.
I can’t do much from Japan but spread the word.
Seditionists Unite! :fire:
You go to the site here: Freeway Blogger
He has lots of good photos of his Civil Disobedience :omg:
Evening, Jason.
:40:
me too buddy…:40:
Did you get a chance to download The Daily show?
Another good place is mininova.org.
Check out that site the freeway blogger. Man, if I was in the States I’d be doing the same thing….
Morning/Evening Boat people!
Cantwell is rather a cool running mate idea. What about Bill Richardson? Is he “pure”?
J’adore Russ, though!!!:peace:
Hiya Farmerkat. I’m listenin’ to Tyger Thom.
Yeah, Jason,I did. Dave let O’Rielly look like the butt he is.
I’ll check out Freeway Blogger , it’s just I’m 🙁 tonight. (and those who think a little :40: doesn’t help, well, it does for the night)
What’s wrong buddy? When are you headed to Wisconsin?
IMPEACH!:bow:
Hey Jason,
Is he worth streaming at the moment:?:
Did you look at it Farmerkat? Man, everybody should be doing that! It’s freakin’ great! :nod:
He even gives instructions. I remember him and others doing it during the elections. I hope a lot more people take action this time around!
Could I possibly use more exclamation marks:?:
He’s just talking about Brokeback Mountain and Christian morality. Taking calls now…
That Freeway Blogger is right on!
Bush Lied. Impeach.The War is a Lie.
From noon to 6 I broke up with Vivian, after a little more than a year together. It was the right thing for both of us, but it still hurts.
Sorry to hear that man but you’ll be alright…
Before I came to Japan I had a girlfriend, Carrie, for nearly 6 years. I’m with ya’ buddy, I know how it feels.
We still talk and are friends, hopefully you and Vivian will too. :alc:
Morning .. Evening.. what ever
Turned on C-span a bit early for WJ got heir stupid dork.. I’m glad I haven’t eaten breakfast yet.
:barf::crap::rant1:
That’s a good idea there Fred. I think I’ll listen to c-span. :nod:
Thanks for the sympathy, buddy. She and I WILL be friends, it’s just that first day is a bummer.
and draining after 6 hours of going over it. That’s tough too….:(
Do you work with her? That can be hard as well. One of my first jobs in Tokyo, I dated the Ass. Manager. That got kinda bad after we broke up, and that was only after 3 months! :fustrate:
At least we had duck and ate our fill. The restaurant, while not open 2 -5, let us sit and talk. I love that place. I’ve been gping there for sixteen years.
I know what you mean. We have a big Chinatown in Yokohama, and the duck is sooo good…..
OUCH! A six hour break-up. At least it sounds like there’s closure. The head and heart sometimes conflict…hang in there, KK. :fire:
She works nearby the school, but not at it. Yeah, ex-love at the office – Ouch!
Thank you Farmerkat. Everything is VERY clear after six hours.
OMG C-span said they were going to show more clips of heir dipshit’s news conference. Might have to bail out early. Our local soup kitchen is in the middle of an older but more affulant part of town and the lines have gone from maybe a block long two years ago to more than three blocks now. The neighbors are complaining,.
Well with her I think there was love but it was only 3 months. I found her a little pushy, you know the kind that say “my biological clock is ticking, I wanna get married right away.Scared me off. I mean I had just been in a 5 year relationship…but yeah the office thing is not a good idea.
Fred- what city are you in?
(The callers have been very NOT Bush.)
just read joe conason’s piece in Salon, Let us Prey: http://tinyurl.com/9w4qc
Wish it was longer.
Fred, but I thought the economy was going gang-busters according to the Bush Crime Family. :yuck:
Yeah I read that. I put it up on my site, it’s also on Truthout.org
I hate listening to Bush! He’s such a bastard! :rant1:
I’m in a suburb of Denver. Colorado had the second largest job loss in the country in 2001. A lot of technical jobs were lost. I know those have not recovered. Foreclosures are way up. In talking with some of the people in the line at the soup kitchen we find everything from bridge people to families living in the shelter and now some people with advanced degrees. I can’t handle Bushes or the rethugs bs much longer.
Is that guy calling from a public toilet somewhere? :rofl2:
When the shrub talks I hear “lie la lie lie.Lie lie la lie lie lie” smirk.
when I don’t mute the shrub, I hear the “WHAH WHAH” like the teacher talking on a Peanuts cartoon.
In my head, Denver was a growth area. Thanks for correcting me.
Whaa wha whaa wha, Whaa whaa whaa wha whaa. 🙂
I hate Republicans! I hate when they call in…I just wanna give ’em an encouraging pat on the shoulder, and ask “what the hell happened to ya’ man?”
Ha! I like that idea of the encouraging pat, Jason!

I’m trying to figure out what is happening in Israel, specifically Sharon’s politics.Mr Farmerkat seems to think he was perhaps repentant for Sabra & Shatilla. (mr farmerkat witnessed that massacre, btw) But Sharon went in Haram al-Sharif in 2000 which does not show a repentant heart in my opinion. That really stirred the pot. Plus, he’s encouraged building in the West Bank and has tried to squeeze the Palestinians out and in to Jordan. Maybe he just became more of a pragmatist instead of his past behavior as a butcher. It’s all pretty interesting. After seeing how the Palestinians are treated and getting a dose of their reality, I find it difficult and complicated as I feel angst for all sides.
I know what you mean Farmerkat. The Isreali-Palestinaian situation is a mess. It’s really hard to get your head wrapped around it. Have you ever read the Angry Arab blog? He’s a Berkely Professor of Lebanese descent. He’s completely anti-zionist, but he has an interesting take on things…
As an exercise you can go to the bls web site and look at the net job losses and net job gains numbers since like maybe 2000. If you add in the nebulous 150,000 to 250,000 jobs a month necessary to keep up with the increase in the labor force you can get a net job loss of something like 8 – 12 million. If there were indeed 4% of the 160 million person work force unemployed in 2000 that would make the total unemployed something line 12 – 16 million. so the actual unemployment rate is something between 8 and 10 percent.
Oh yeah lady…Gaza is HUGE! Whatever…
Alright ya’ll, I’m outta here. I have to get up early to teach! 😀 Kong: I hope you feel better man. The sun will be out tomorrow dude! 😉
I am seriously divided as to what to think about Israel. If Israel is the major driving force in the Islamic worlds hatred of the west Israel has to change its stance in regard to making peace with the Palestinians. The suicide bomber and perhaps fertilizer bombs are the only way the poor and oppressed in the world can counter a superior conventional military being used as an oppressive force. I am beginning to think that the only way to keep a real power balance in the area is for some Islamic country to be able to wipe Israel’s ass or for the US to cut their support for Israel until they fix the problem.
I have tremendous sympathy for the Palestinians and am angry at the way they are treated. Many Israelis are also angry. When I visited Gaza I was completely floored and remain so.
Gotta run, guys. Check in with you later!
We had someone from israel speak to our Justice and peace group. They were involved in rebuilding Palestinian homes destroyed by the Israeli army for having family members “involved in terrorism” . He said there were a sizable number of people in Israel who were not happy with the conservative stance of their current government.
In thinking about the palestinian problem lets suppose that an old rusty freighter arrived in LA harbor loaded with American Indians who demanded that the US surrender Arizona, Nevada and Idaho for use as an new indian nation and the UN gave them what they asked for. Isn’t that the same thing that has happened to the Palestinians ?? What would the Americans do ??
So it looks like the special project that Jonathan ‘Clutch’ Larsen was planning with Lizz Winstead is this:
If Lizz can make these two intentionally funny then she is a genius.
This rethug lady is bemoaning that the rethugs are being bashed to much and that the “war on terra” is like WWIII. I wonder if they would like it if was not like but really was WWIII because George really ticked off Putin or the Chinese premier. ??
Thanks for that link to The Freeway Blogger, Jason. I am inspired! Low budget protest, YAHOO! :banana:
I am finding that more and more people on the left are turning away from the M$M except for Olbermann and a few other selected exceptions. I hope Lizz’s new show gets enough promotion so that some one does not have to accidently find it by channel surfing.
Lizz has a new show?? Who What where when?
Why in the world would Lizz get involved with Maury and Connie !?:yuck:
What is a Maury and Connie ??
WJ talking about the credit card companies. I think with the new bankruptcy law the people in Delaware and South Dakota might find that living near one is not a good idea, ( think flying building parts)
Surprise, surprise. Spying on US Citizens is illegal.
I find it kind of amazing that congress can literally get away with murder and can continue to do that until the next election and then continue to do that if the stupids reelect them. The only solution to that problem seems to lie with the redefinition of congress people as “game”.
just by chance, i found this interview with marc from around the time “left of the dial” was first shown on HBO.
marc’s segment starts at around 27 minutes in.
Hey guys, Jim Earl has some measurements up on his site.
Is it just me or has http://www.seditionparty.org/ shut down? ❓
Hey Tom, thanks for that interview link. It was great. Kinda sad, listening to the host talk about how unique and creative the show was.
That was a great find tom t! Great fucking find! Makes me sad too…:-(
Now I’m fuckin’ angry!:fustrate: What? I said I was goin’ to bed…
night night.
hey pj.
yeah, it was kinda sad listening to the interview knowing what we know now. but hearing the clarity and sense of purpose in marc’s voice was encouraging. especially considering the fact that he was speaking from a time before he realized just how many people he had from around the world behind him.
hey jason. you still up?
Tom T in Tokyo: Thank you so much for the link to the Marc Maron interview. It is 30 minutes of Maron ! Marc does most of the talking. I was on the verge of crying during the clip. Marc is sooo knowledgeable, sooo smart, sooo funny ! He talked about some liberals being uncomfortable with the humor (DG?) but how much he loved doing the show. This is so heartbreaking.
Yes, thanks for that bite of Marc in a time when we are all starving. I think what I like about him is that he is so honest about his own inadequasies. And I’ve always thought that if you can admit to them, you can get past them or accept them and in so doing become a little more at peace with yourself. And it’s easier to admit to them in a humorous way. “Turn into the skid”, man.:jesus:
Hang in there, KK! I know it can be tough, but we’re here for you . . .
Sorry to hear about your break up KK. I’m sure you’re old enough to know that time heals and so do Seditionistic acts of sedition. So let’s act up!:bong::cake::doh::alc::idea::fire::!::40:
I listened to about half the Maury Povich/Connie Chung show this morning on XM. They do somewhat hard news analysis, such as Abramoff, etc, and have some stilted satirical bits interspersed. No sign of Lizz yet, but I didn’t catch the whole thing. If this show is only weekly, I don’t see how it will gain any momentum. It’s no Daily Show yet.
Someone is trying to make Connie Chung funny? :doh: Are they using Maury Povich as the straight man? Oh, this can’t be good!
Fred, which suburb are you in? I lived in Aurora for years but finally had to leave (it had nothing to do with Denver per se, just life for me there) and am now in Oregon. One of my friends in Denver was in the telecommunications industry and for one year (2001) it was like the Black Death for telecommunications. It never got better. My friend was in bad enough shape (nervousness about the future will do that to a person) before her layoff but when it became obvious she wasn’t going to be getting a job again anytime soon, she got worse. No, not many people committed suicide, but she’s not the only one who gave up and accepted abject poverty as her life.
My parents are having trouble dealing with the Jack Abramoff thing. They raised me to believe that a good Jew defends the rights of all people and that helping those in need is a religious commandment. So Abramoff’s obvious contempt for the tribes he conned while he continues to insist he’s an orthodox Jew has them terribly upset. That this Rabbi Lapin he has ties to upsets them even more. (Used to be their worst headaches were Shmuely Boteach having close ties to Michael Jackson and Madonna trying to address Israelis as one of them…oy!) So I’m printing out Conasan’s article for them. Thanks for the link, Farmerkat.
Speaking of Jews and that leads me to the Middle East…I think Randi Rhodes has it right. None of us can win the argument, no matter how we feel so she prefers not to engage in the first place.
KK, this is for you. I know what a break up feels like and there’s nothing better than chocolate. (And I realize you may not have the requisite ingredients but DAMN it’s nice to daydream about this stuff!)
Rich Overnight Brownies
Serves 12
6 large eggs, room temperature
18 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup unsalted butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Prepare a 9-inch square baking pan by lining it with foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray or brushing it with vegetable oil.
Melt the semisweet chocolate and the butter in a double boiler (a pan set over a hot water bath); stir until smooth.
Add vanilla and cinnamon; stir thoroughly to combine.
Remove mixture from the heat and cool to room temperature.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the eggs on high speed until very frothy and about triple in volume (approximately 5 minutes).
Fold half of the beaten eggs into the chocolate mixture and combine.
Then fold in the remaining egg.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the pan of brownie batter into a larger pan, like a roasting pan and fill that pan with hot water half way up the side of the smaller pan containing the batter.
Place the pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Turn off the oven but keep the brownies in the closed oven for another 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, remove the brownies pan from the larger water bath pan and place it on a wire rack to cool while making the glaze.
To make the glaze, heat the cream and the dark chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.
Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the hot glaze over the brownies and smooth it out with a spatula.
Set the pan aside to cool completely.
When cool, cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Cut chilled brownie into 12 squares.
Brownies taste best when allowed to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

I think we should rename them “Breakup Brownies.”

Cit Kahn, no kidding. They’re like drowning yourself in fudgy chocolate.
BTW, speaking of cooking. Did anyone ever learn what Marc’s secret mac and cheese recipe is? There was a killer mac and cheese recipe in the NY Times late last week and I’d like to know if they stole it from his mind before he got out of range. (Yeah, bad tin hat joke…)
I can’t remember who suggested NPR’s “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” as a temporary fix to ease emptiness of missing “Morning Sedition.” Whoever that was THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Middle East Peace settlement.:jesus:
Fred. You gave a pretty good analogy about the creation of Israel (Indians landing in LA Harbor demanding SW states, and getting UN backing.) OK. Israel was created on the backs of the indigenous people there. A tragedy. But the vast majority of the Palestinians have gotten over it. They “Accept facts on the ground.” Israel is in 78% of original Palestine. What the Palestinians want is the right to national self-determination on the remaining 22%, including East Jerusalem.
If you read your Chomsky, you would know that virtually every nation on earth supports what the Palestinians “want.” UN General Assembly votes regularly demonstrated the overwhelming consensus. (Two nations who dissent: US and Israel.)
International Consensus on peace in the Middle East:
All countries return to the pre-June 1967 borders. (Israel withdraw from Golan Heights, West Bank and Gaza, etc.)
The Arab nations recognize Israel’s existence to live in peace within the recognized borders. Palestinians have the right to national self-determination in the Occupied Territories (22% of historic Palestine.) There may be minor border adjustments, kilometer here or there.
When you here UN242 (and 338) mentioned, this is what they are talking about.
Homework:
Why is there no peace settlement? Which countries have been the major obstructionists to peace in the Middle East?
(When I was fairly active in this struggle(1989-2000) polls of the American people would regularly show that, despite media and government obfuscation and propaganda, 2/3 of the American people supported the International Consensus for Peace in the MIDDLE EAST.)
Shall we talk?

Hope Destroyed, Justice Denied
The Rape of Palestine
By WILLIAM A. COOK
“The Estate of Zion is pitiful because of sin and iniquity.”
“The Lord hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.”
(Lamentations of Jeremiah 4:11)
The Prophet Jeremiah (626-586 B.C.) lamented the pitiful state of Zion as it “shed the blood of the just in the midst of her” and as the “sons of Zion” “wandered as blind men in the streets, they (have) polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments” (Lam. 4: 13-14). And he prophesied that Zion would become “a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends.” As we witness Ariel Sharon slide ineluctably into that great dark night, the words of Jeremiah come back to haunt Israel. This man, like no other in recent Israeli politics, has left his indelible mark on Palestine carved like a searing branding iron on the landscape, the mark created by his Wall of Fear, which marks the Israel he strove to create out of stolen Palestinian land even as he herded three million people into walled corrals like cattle. This man, who wielded euphemistic words to kill truth as skillfully as he thrust his sword to kill the innocent, created a new party, the National Responsibility Party, to retain power that he might finish his job of cleansing Israel of Palestinians. Who better to create a stillborn party of such a name than the man who severed the national spirit of the Jews by wielding a sword that cut in two the very fabric of Jewish morality.
Let’s view this man as he stumbles off the political stage in Israel, when but a week ago he hoped to grasp the olive branch of the Labor Party to swing back into power. As America’s main stream press prepares to eulogize this man for his many accomplishments following the lead of USA TODAY – “Ariel Sharon first came to prominence as an army officer in the 1950s. After leaving the military he entered politics, forging the hardline Likud Party. In 1982, Sharon was forced to step down as the party’s defense minister, but re-emerged as prime minister in 2001” – and other non-descript passages that overlook the truth of what the man did. In 1982, Sharon was forced to leave his post because he oversaw and permitted the slaughter of Palestinian civilians in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila, an event, together with his mass killings in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank some 20 years later, for which he faces prosecution for war crimes in Belgium. These details the American people are not to know nor are they to know that the UNSC passed Resolution 521 condemning those massacres. So as Sharon awaits the inevitable, let us view him against a moral mirror that will reflect his most grievous crimes. Let’s view what Sharon’s IDF has done and continues to do in light of a resolution adopted by the UN unanimously and without abstentions, a document that Israel signed at a later date, the Genocide Convention of the United Nations. . .

What Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Know About Palestine
Eyeless in Gilo
By KATHLEEN and BILL CHRISTISON
Former CIA analysts
In mid-November, Hillary Clinton visited Israel and, following a meeting with Ariel Sharon, in remarks that presaged the praise being heaped on the now-comatose Sharon, began her campaign for president by praising the Israeli as a “courageous” man who had taken “an incredibly difficult” step by withdrawing from Gaza. The withdrawal, she claimed with remarkable disregard for reality, was intended as “a means of demonstrating that he is committed to trying to get back into a process” with the Palestinians. Clinton also stopped for a photo op during her trip, in what constituted an equally monumental lie. She stood on a hilltop inside the Israeli settlement of Gilo, an illegal subdivision populated by 28,000 Israelis on the southern edge of Jerusalem overlooking Bethlehem. Gilo is in occupied Palestinian territory. It was built three decades ago, illegally according to international law, on approximately 700 acres of land confiscated from Palestinian ownership. It is just inside the expanded municipal limits of Jerusalem — boundaries that Israel redrew when it captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967, then expropriated 25 square miles of Palestinian West Bank territory and annexed it, also illegally according to international law, to Israeli West Jerusalem.
Clinton stood on this spot and, striking an elaborate pose, gazing pensively off to the side, had her photo taken with the 26-foot-high concrete monstrosity that is Israel’s separation wall in the near distance behind her. Where she stood, the wall, like Gilo itself, is built on confiscated Palestinian land. On the other side of the wall, in the middle distance, was the dying little town of Bethlehem, now partially encircled by the wall and cut off from Jerusalem, its religious and cultural twin.
Already surrounded by nine Israeli settlements, including Gilo, by a network of roads restricted to Israeli use . . .

Charles Pierce of “wait, wait” was my favorite blogger along with Wolcott leading up to the 2004 election. He used to post to Alterman’s blog but has pretty much stopped posting after the election.
So, does that mean Morning Rememberance will be called Evening Rememberance? I don’t think that rings as well and it seems to me that a “rememberance” should be done in the morning anyways.

If Jim could sing like Lou Rawls, he wouldn’t be writing comedy. Of course, no one else sounds like Lou Rawls, and we’re better off enjoying Jim’s twisted sense of humor anyway.
We’re losing all our crooners. Lou, Luther, Barry White… it’s sad. I wonder if Brian McKnight or Ginuwine will elicit this kind of response when their time comes.

Pig Vomit’s Air America
I don’t like listening to Radio Marseilles, but I do it every day for you. Somebody has to document their treachery. It might as well be me. I can resist their reason-based rhetoric.
Still it isn’t easy to listen to the likes of Randi Rhodes and Sam Seder, but it became a whole lot better when they added Jerry Springer. Sure, Spinger’s as French as an Edith Piaf 78, but he’s the good kind of Frenchman, one who isn’t afraid to show the proper respect for Our Leader’s policies.
Springer might go on a 5 minute diatribe against torture or domestic spying, but as soon as a patriot calls in, he’s quick to note how reasonable such policies are. That’s the kind of opposition we can live with.
Yesterday, Randi Rhodes shared the secret behind Springer’s success. His show is produced by Kevin Metheny, the man immortalized by Paul Giamatti in the movie, Private Parts. Yes, Kevin Metheny is “Pig Vomit.”
I have to wonder if Mr. Metheny has a lot of influence at Radio Marseilles. Firing Liz Winstead and Marc Maron certainly sounds like the kind of smart business move the guy who fired Howard Stern from WNBC would make.

Check out this news from NoCal:
Arcata calls for impeachment
Kimberly Wear
Eureka Times Standard
ARCATA — A split City Council passed a resolution demanding the impeachment or resignation of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, citing violations of international and constitutional law.
The White House responded that the president “remains focused on the business the American people elected him to conduct.”
The resolution lists a series of allegedly impeachable offenses, including “the crime of misleading the American people and Congress into waging an unnecessary and brutal war in Iraq,” “the criminal failure of the president to respond adequately to the Hurricane Katrina disaster,” “torturing human beings in violation of the Geneva Convention” and “ordering the secret surveillance of American citizens.”
Councilman Dave Meserve and Councilwoman Harmony Groves penned the resolution that passed 3-2 Wednesday, joined by Councilman Paul Pitino, with Mayor Michael Machi and Councilman Mark Wheetley dissenting.
”All elected officials swear to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” Meserve said. “This obligates us to act when the president violates the Constitution. We hope that other cities will join us in demanding the impeachment of Bush and Cheney.”
White House spokesman Ken Lisaius said Bush understands that there are people who “oppose the president’s efforts to win the war on terror.”
”How those opposed to those efforts choose to express that opposition is up to each individual — in this case a city council,” he said. “This president recognizes he has a responsibility and the constitutional authority to protect our country and that’s what he will continue to do.”
The resolution also asks that Congressman Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, join with others in Congress to introduce articles of impeachment against Bush. That would make him the third president to face the proceeding.
The first was President Andrew Johnson and the second — more than 100 years later — was President Bill Clinton. Both were acquitted. President Richard Nixon resigned rather than face impeachment.
Impeachment is a two-tier process beginning with a formal accusation, or the impeachment, being brought by the House of Representatives with a majority vote. Then, there is a trial by the Senate — a conviction requires a two-thirds vote.
Copies of the Arcata resolution are being sent to Thompson, Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and members of the House Judiciary Committee.
