Well, I’ll be heading off to D.C. later on today (assuming I don’t find myslef on the no-fly list when I get to the airport), and won’t be back home until Thursday evening. I’m not sure how much computing I’ll get to do (the hotel claims to have hi-speed wireless Internet access, so I should be able to check in from time-to-time and see what you guys are talking about). Anybody have a message for dubya, in case I happen to see him (one that won’t get me a one-way ticket to Gitmo, that is)?
Anyhow, y’all talk amongst yourselves, and we’ll leave a thread open for you….in hell!

:bow::priest: isnt a cardinal a bird?
riley mentioned harry belafonte this morning, said harry had the right to say what he wanted to. tepid support if you ask me. maron would have been more straight forward.
don’t know riley well enough to know if such faint support is typical of him or if it’s a result of pressure from higher-ups at aar.
:?::?::?:
Last week I declared that the level of sports-yak between riley and whats-his-name was generic. I take that back-it’s less than generic……., much less :blech::blech:
And why the fuck is ted kennedy talking to riley but wouldn’t talk to maron:!::!::mad::mad::mad:
It wasn’t like maron didn’t treat his guests with respect along with the wit :!::no:
I need a drink:40:
does anybody remember when were those gigs in the los angeles area that marc sent an email about? was it this last weekend? wondering how it went. anyone know?
my bad- it’s just another rerun by riley.:crap:
Harry Belafonte rocks!
Samuel Alito sucks. And not in a good way.
GEORGE BUSH. AMERICAN TERRORIST.
IMPEACHMENT!!!
VIGILANCE!!!
:fire::fire::fire:
Good morning everyone.
Evening. C-span 2 has my interest today.
And what’s up with Ah-nold wrecking his bike? Stealing a page out of the George Bush songbook. I didn’t even know Ah-nold was a drinker. :40:
Morvening fellow seditionists….anyone know when the confirmation hearings begin on Alito? C-Span will carry it won’t they….:40:= mmmm, tasty
good evening :yinyang: morning everyone.
jason, is that okinawan shochu you’re drinking?
Cheney rushed to hospital. Just saw this on the bbc:
“Dick Cheney rushed to hospital
US Vice-President Dick Cheney has been rushed to hospital in Washington after suffering shortness of breath and apparent fluid retention.
Mr Cheney was retaining fluids because of medication he was taking for a foot complaint, a hospital spokeswoman said.
His office said he was taken to hospital at 0300 (0800 GMT) but is expected to go home later on Monday.
Mr Cheney, 64, has a history of heart trouble. He suffered his fourth heart attack in 2000.
He was fitted with a pacemaker in 2001.
He also had an operation to remove blood clots in his knees last year.”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4594992.stm
Isn’t it way past time for Dick to retire and get out of our lives for good. I can’t wait until his name stops appearing in the headlines.
ha ha! No, just the Kirin ichiban, not much into the shochu, I’ll probably pull a Seinfeld and give to other students of mine as a gift. Is that wrong? I tried not to take it as a gift but you know how people are here when giving gifts……:40:
Alito hearings are on C-span Today at 11:30 EST. I’ll be asleep by then, but I’d love to see.
Cheney must retire to give Bush his heir. (Brother Jeb?) :yuck:
Good Morning Seditionists.
re: Cheney
My suspicious mind thinks this is the beginning of Rove’s PR campaign to have Cheney eventually resign.
David Rosenbaum from NYT was mugged & killed in DC
Hey if it works in IRAQ why not do it in DC too. Live in fear
http://www.nbc10.com/news/5938535/detail.html
Good morning seditionists!
What are the odds that the Dems copout and allow Alito to be confirmed?:omg:
Have a safe journey, pj. And I’ll ask the teenager about real alternative.
Who will replace that creepy bastard if he dies? Delay? Scooter Libby?
Cheney was released from the hospital around 7:30 EDT. I believe the presidork can appoint a new VP
A bunch of people were against Roberts nomination too. The phones were so busy the day the senate voted you couldn’t get through to DC and they disconnected the 877-SOB-USOB number and Roberts was confirmed any how. If Alito gets on the court the dems will have a terrible time undoing the damage these SOB’s have done in the last five years. Perhaps thats the idea.. hey instead of whining about having no power they can whine about the supreme court declaring everything they vote through unconstitutional.
I’d give the odds of the dems bending over and taking it in the behind about 50/50. I just emailed and called my senators and congressman this morning. Maybe I’ll do that every day this week.
kristapea-I hope your senators and rep. are as responsive as mine in WI. They respond to my remarks and comments. Sometimes, it seems to be a form, but often someone in thier office writes a real letter.
Remember: There ain’t a dime’s worth of difference between the Democrats and Republicans. The dems don’t feel their collective hair on fire over the conffirmation of a fascistic judge to the Supreme Court. We need to build democracy in this country. This business dominated racket we now have is bullshit!:sheep::sheep::fire::mad:
Rock Alito:doh::doh::mad::omg:
Hit him with that fucking :fire:!:omg:
Hey KK, I have Sen McCain and Sen Kyl and dumb jock Hayworth. Sometimes i get letters from McCain and Kyl but weeks after so that I have forgotten which issue I wrote about. Kyl is up for re election so we are hoping to get him out.:banana:
:40::sheep::sheep::sheep::sheep::sheep::40::doh::omg:SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:omg:
:peace:
If he’s a shmuk, get rid of ‘im.
Morning! Bye.:ear::ear:
Almost any senator with a (R) after their name is a smuck but most states also have a lot of voters with a (R) after their party affiliation who would never vote for a Democrat. Except for the very wealthy maybe we ( those of us on the left ) should hence forth refer to these people as the stupids.
hmmmm morning radio really sucks now im to the point where i look forward to jerry springer and uh springer is the devil as i have pointed out before rachel cant carry 2 hours and riley cant carry fifteen minutes without a sidekick or uh a maron because as we all know maron is no sidekick ok well elmira new york is sweet free wifi yay
:bow::priest: sigh i miss morning sedition
Hey Sean… I was thinking the same thing.. Rachel is “OK” but I am thinking her humor is not as cool as she thinks it is. There are no where near the people blogging on her web page as were on MS.
Bloging on Rachel is difficult. There are multiple pages going on at the same time? WTF is that about? (sorry for my temper)
It’s true Kong. Blogging on Rachel’s site is difficult. There’s no need to ad an extra place for hour two if your only going to get 30 some comments….
Testing… Is this new Treo (650) smarter than the old Dubya (Tungsten W)? Will my post show up? Waiting with baited breath–toothbrush at home.
Fred: And there is nobody blogging on Riley’s blog because AAR didn’t even give him one….:doh:
It showed up Phoener!
Yeah, jason, it blocks continuing conversations.
How’s http://www.theaera.blogspot.com going?
Don’t know riley well enough to know if such faint support is typical of him or if it’s a result of pressure from higher-ups at aar.
I’m confused by the goal fo this website. It looks like all you do daily is critique Riley and pit him against the former show that he helped shape. Why is this blog so anti-Riley and why are you even listening to the new shows? If this is a site to support Marc Maron, then focus on that. Why don’t you just post comments about what Marc Maron has to say on the air at the moment??
Ahh it’s goin’ alright. Eventually I’ll lose interest. I started posting all those NY Times Op-eds after I ordered Times Select. I don’t know how I feel about that. I get alot of hits for that but I don’t wanna get caught by the NY legal team.
And some putz over on the NY Times discussion board put up a link to my site to read the new Frank Rich article. That’s the last place I wanna see a link to my site…
:omg:
hy: I don’t think this site IS anti-Riley. As the name points out:”Morning Seditionists” We loved the whole show, everyone involved. It’s not completely about Marc Maron, it’s about the whole project. That’s what we miss.
Cool beans & Hot Damn! I can blog when everybody’s still here!
You can! What up Phoener:!:
I think I’m gonna try to stay up long enough to watch the beginning of the Alito hearings…:40:
when do the :barf:alito hearings start:?: i wanna listen on the span while i go to sleep
:bow::priest:
sleep now in the :fire:
Isi, great minds think alike. I think we’re going to see Cheney resign for health reasons, but still be active behind the scenes. Then they’ll make Kindasleezy Rice VP so she can run as an incumbent in 2008.
You heard it here first.
I think Kong said they start at 11:30 EST.
yeah condi aint running so no point in putting her as vp she doesnt want to be president of the united states she wants to be president of the nfl
then again being president of the united states would put her in an even better place to achieve her nfl dreams hmmmmmmm
:bow::priest::sdavid: ha ha look a jewish cardinal
Did you guys see that message from hy? What do you think that was all about?
I still want a Johnny K Street emoticon…:rofl2:
the next vp will be a neo-convict like the rest of ’em.:barf:
may want to trot over to http://www.cnn.com to take the poll on whether dems should filabuster alito:
yes 35%
No 40%
one other place to vote: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3080261/
Should Supreme Court Nominee Samuel Alito be confirmed? * 3145 responses
73% NO
27% YES
Have a good day, all!
Thanks Farmerkat! I voted over on the CNN site. I guess I’ll go vote on the msnbc site as well. Have a good day buddy! :fire:
Hola Seditionists!!
as of right now on the MSNBC site, Should Alito be confirmed?: 38% Yes, 62% No. :nixon::banana:
wooo! nice statement, Schumer.
I just voted on the MSNBC site.
As of 3:30 PM EST, almost three hours after the last update from quietgirl, it’s
40% yes, 60% no.
Quietgirl, what did Schumer say? I had to work today and couldn’t watch the festivities.
DOWN WITH SCALITO!!!
IMPEACHMENT!!!
VIGILANCE!!!
:fire::fire::fire:
Howdy, blog sibs. I slept in this morning. I’m doing that more and more. The problem is that Maddow doesn’t sound different enough from Heidi Tauber for me to tell that I’m oversleeping. And, yeah, I heard Kent Jones but it didn’t register like it should have.
I made some really tasty black bean burritos last night but the recipe consists of
Soak as many black beans as you want for a couple of hours in water to cover and if you’re using dried chiles, soak them, too. Then drain it, put it all in a pot with vegetable stock or broth and bring to a boil, add chopped onions and garlic, reduce heat to simmer, cover and simmer until beans are done. Drain, stir in cumin powder and crushed coriander, mash up, and use it as a burrito filling. Add whatever you like to add to burritos. How’s that for a vegetarian recipe?
Oh, and how’s this for a warning to wannabe trolls? Sigh!
ha ha!!! that’s an awesome article Gypsy. TAKE THAT BLOG TROLLS!!!! REVEAL YOURSELF FOOL!!!:eek:
:doh:Alito!:omg:
Smash him with the:fire::rofl2:
Dirty fascist son of a bitch!
Sing with me:
“Corporations. Uber Alles!”
:fire::fire:that bastard!:omg:
That new anti-annoyance law is scary!
Unipolar moment! These dirty nazi bastards!:ear::ear:
6-+:fire:Smash!
:omg:I’m a :sheep::sheep::sheep::40::rofl2:
:doh:Alito!
I voted on the MSNBC poll.
Are we in trouble?
New anti-troll law. Unconstitutional? Will we be in trouble if we circulate the Morning Sedition tapes anonymously? (If it is annoying?)
:fire:Alito!
That new anti-troll law is scary! Designed to shut you down. Don’t be fooled by this creeping fascism!:omg: Time to go!
Since the Internet Troll law is written by Rethugs and probably enforced by rethugs what are the bets that it will not be usable against rethugs ???.. That’s the way it seems to work only in one direction.
Will the new Internet Troll legislation make this site illegal?
Oy, such mishegass from our government? Goniffs, that’s what they all are!
Sorry. I was channeling my grandmother. She’s gone back to making snide comments in the background.
I’m not insane. I’m just loveably eccentric. Yes, I am. Really, I am. :doh: :rofl2:
Whatever happened to …..
Cindy Sheehan?
The DOW closed at 11,010 today.. As far as I can see there is no reason domestically for it to be this high. Corporate profits are up with some like the oil companies way up. WalMart on the other hand is saying Xmas was a disaster so why is the market up.??. Are the oil companies buying other companies stocks ??.. pension funds most certainly are not whats holding it up.
Did everyone start their daily emailing drill to your senators telling them to vote no on Alito ??.. I have one Dem senator and one Rethug senator .. I’ll bet I already know how they will vote
Did you guys see that message from hy? What do you think that was all about?
Comment by jasonwkinney — January 9, 2006 @ 10:30 am
I have to say that I agree with Hy. Rileys show has been on for weeks now and we knew what it would be like. I feel bad for him and I would rather not talk about it. I bet he didn’t even want a blog. He’s never acted too thrilled about it.
Annoyance is illegal.My Senators’ responses to my emails should squarely put them within the purview of this law.
Fred, I call my Senators, but they are rubber stamps regardless. Is it worth calling again?
Yeah Farmerkat, I think it is worth calling. I got 3 R’s representing ME in this state too. Hopefully that will change this year. But, I think it’s impotant for them to hear dissent and it is important for them to hear when you think they’re doing good. I’m trying to be better about the latter but it’s really hard in this state.
Wow, man, it’s been a while. I’ve been okay, considering the circumstances. I’ve been trying to keep my situation in some kind of perspective, you know. It can always be worse, right?
Having been on low grade narcotics, I’ve been kind of living inside my head, my dream world. I’ve become pretty good friends with my imaginary neighbor, who doesn’t have a name, and I’ve joined a bicycle gang. Strange, isn’t it? The worst part of living in your dreams is when you lose your teeth. Boy, that freaks you out!
Anyway, I’ve discovered this little thing known as THE BIG RUCKUS. So, instead of a bicycle gang, I think I’m going to progress into a real motorcycle…(clears throat)…scooter gang.
Check it
Oh, I’ve been on this crazy sleeping schedule, where I go to sleep around 10:00 p.m. and wake around 7 a.m. I think in a month or so I’ll be back on a more owlish schedule. I’ll keep popping by at odd hrs until then.
Okay, is somebody making fun of me with this:ear:? It’s okay, man….You know what I hate? When you can hear the phone ring, but when you pick it up and start talking you can’t decipher what the other person is saying. So you start to not answer the phone and become severely irritated when it rings. Then your ears start making strange sounds and….damn it, I’m done ranting…I haven’t even started, but I’m done…
Check it……
TRAVIS!!!!!! hey buddy what’s up?
i’m glad that you’re felling better..sort of…and will be joining us back on the blog in no time ^____^ :banana:
Yay! Travis is alive :ear:
Hey, what’s up?
I’ve had a rough ride the past couple of weeks:doh::barf:.
Sorry for the delayed response. I just wrote a list of my side effects from surgery, then decided not to post them.
What’s your opinions on the ruckus?
Which ruckus?
All of them.
I don’t know, that question is confusing.:roll:
This one
Check it
Kind of dorky, isn’t it?:billcat:
So, you’re going to ride that around Alaska, huh?
Welcome back, Travis!
How did Benito Alito do today?
:fire: nthat bastard!:omg:
Alito is a WHACKO!
He wants to make Bush a DICTATOR!++-:omg:
Bring this BASTARD DOWN!:fire::fire:
Only in my head.
I don’t have the dinero.
Besides the cold weather and the limited summer period, Alaska is a great place to ride, I think (mosquitos are horrible). Long country roads with no traffic…Man, I see it…vividly.
Someday, maybe.
Seditionists, I am in Brazil for a short and lovely while. Amazing and encouraging to hear “the people’s voice” on radio and television, and regularly. Anti-corporate, anti-IMF/World Bank demonstrations and opinions are covered as if they were legitimate news stories. The US MSM do not hold up well at all by comparison. We really do get only one side of the news; I hadn’t realized it was as bad as it is until seeing the news here, which is far more balanced. Virutally all of our political news is pure government propaganda. I mean, I knew that, and we all know it but…damn, this is really jolting. I just watched two shows, back to back, about how damaging a huge disparity of wealth is, and how uncontrolled capitalism is like a malignant cancer that will eventually kill even the rich. No fanfare, no foaming outrage, just even-tempered discussions presented as part of a normal evening’s programming.
If those shows had been broadcast in the United States, the howling backlash would come from the very people who suffer the most from unchecked corporate power. Are we the most politically ignorant country on earth?
I think I remember when news was like that. Maybe not, I guess news here has been skewed since, what, the seventies?:fustrate:

Ya think? That’s what all the rest of us think – sorry – we wish it wasn’t so. I am a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S (Mom from Indiana). I lived in the U.S. for several years and had to come back. I was one of the first Bush refugees I guess.
It is my sincere hope that the people of the U.S.A. WILL wake up from their nightmare, but there are SO MANY vested interests entrenched against it.
You need another revolution but it probably ain’t gonna happen. I don’t know how anyone with Progressive instincts could live in the U.S.right now but I hope you all keep up the fight – because that’s what it’s going to take – a fight.
Sorry – my first line got chopped off………

You know, if the Canadians planned a sneak attack against America it would totally take us off guard. We’re not even looking in your direction. Now’s your CHANCE!:shock:
re: the internet annoyance act
I’ve given up trying to fathom the depths my country will fall to before the sheeple will show some backbone. Actually, I’d settle for showing some notochord.
Hell, I’d settle just to know why that little blue emoticon in the list is pissed-off at the Hasidim on his right!
