Well, it’s been quite a week, hasn’t it? All but 23 Democrats (I’m not counting Obama and Biden) stabbed us on the back on Monday. Scalito was crowned on Tuesday morning, after which freedom of speech (or at least freedom of t-shirt) was officially outlawed, and dubya gave a eunuch’s version of the SOTU address, boldly pledging to “form a commission,” and officially denouncing Rick Santorum’s attempts to cross-breed with a schnauzer.
Wednesday saw the Capitol Police saying “oops” about the whole t-shirt thing, but at least everybody was treated equally (Bill Young’s wife was asked to leave, and Cindy Sheehan was given the bum’s rush out the door, handcuffed, thrown in the hoosegow, and charged with a crime).
On Thursday, Bush said he was just kidding in the SOTU when he said he would “replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025.” Later on that day, Republicans pulled a Boehner, and, in a tough new approach to ethics reform, voted to ban former members of Congress from the House gym. Over at Gobbler’s Knob – insert Monica Lewinsky joke here – Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, presumably indicating that we will have six more weeks of unseasonably warm weather.
What joys will Friday bring?

Concerning the great t-shirt controversy: Sue Carlton of the St. Petersburg Times had a good idea. She thinks Pickles should wear a t-shirt that says “I’m With Stupid.”
:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:
Egyptian “cruise” ship goes down 1400 missing…
http://tinyurl.com/9yc4d
BBC is reporting that the ‘cruise” ship is actually a car/passenger Ferry.. Was transporting several large commercial vehicles that probably shifted in high seas and caused the ship to capsize. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4676916.stm
DU predicts that since no blond haired blue eyed teenagers were on board this story will remain as headlines on CNN for at least the next half hour.
hello to the Seditionists that just came in 😀
that’s horrible about the ship. not the best news to start off one’s day, huh? 😥
Putting Fin Foil hat firmly in place
The IRANian navy has several diesel submarines but with so many juicy US war ships around why sink a Ferry ?? Doesn’t Al Salam Boccaccio 98 in Farsi mean Lusitania ??
haha Fred…i think you’re on to something!
I wonder if AAR listeners will become more politically involved when the AAR broadcast and stream suddenly originates in Venezuela ??
Good Morning Seditionists,
I haven’t got my cd yet, how long did it take for you guys?
I like the French guy on Rachels show.French accents are so condescending :rofl2:
good morning everyone.
GOOD MORNING, FELLOW BLOGGERINSPIRATIONALISTI !!!

Dateline: September 12, 2008
Emergency Address and Press Conference by President George W. Bush
The Oval Office, White House
“My fellow Americans, ever since that terrible tragedy of September 11th, 2001 – we’ve been on the alert. Your government has taken every measure possible to secure the safety and security of all Americans – the safety and security of our Homeland.
But – as you well know – tragedy has struck again. America has suffered another terrorist attack. One unforeseen by even our best and concerted intelligence efforts. One made even more horrible by following on the anniversary of the first 9-11.
Two low grade nuclear devices were detonated yesterday in Los Angeles. Although the damage to infrastructure – roads, buildings, pipelines was minimal – the death toll was not. Seven years ago 3,000 Americans lost their lives. Twice that number of souls – 6,000 men, woman and children have perished in this heinous, cowardly and despicable attack. Thousands more are expected to follow.
We cannot – and will not – let this assault on our Homeland go unpunished. Those who have sown the wind shall now reap the wind whirl. I have ordered our Military Chiefs of Staff to draw up an appropriate but devastating response. We have credible intelligence about who the perpetrators are – but due to vital National Security concerns – I cannot share any specific information with you. That information will be shared at the appropriate time.
But, my fellow Americans, these are dark and drastic times. And drastic times demand drastic measures.
In order to combat this unprecedented threat against our great nation – unprecedented steps must be taken.
And so, effective immediately, I have issued Executive Order 1000 – General Martial Law.
Until this crisis passes – and make no mistake – pass it shall – the Constitution has been temporarily suspended. Again – make no mistake – we are still a Democracy – a Republic. But we must now be a Republic willing – and able – to defend itself.
Defend itself against enemies without conscious, without morals, without mercy.
Ruthless enemies – who have proven they will stop at nothing to bring down not only our country and our way of life – but an entire civilized society as well.
Enemies who are the personification of evil itself.
I have given authority to The Department of Homeland Security, The Department of Justice and FEMA – to coordinate with special military units and arrest and detain any and all terrorist suspects. Make no mistake – this will not be a witch hunt. We have identified those people most likely to further harm our nation – the evil doers – and we will make sure they don’t get a third chance to inflict misery upon our people or our land.
Executive Order 1000 also mandates all firearms be surrendered to local, state and Federal authorities. We cannot risk these weapons falling into the hands of those whose intent is the absolute subjugation of the American people.
Further, until we are once again secure in our homes, in our streets, in our cities – a moratorium on general elections has been imposed. We cannot guarantee the safety of those exercising their right to vote. Do not be alarmed – this moratorium is just for the upcoming general election. I assure you that as soon as humanly possible – we will once again exercise our greatest franchise – the right to vote.
There are other areas covered by Executive Order 1000 – a full accounting has been given to the major news outlets. All Americans will be made aware of what to expect within the next few hours.
I have not taken these steps lightly. I have spent the better part of this day on my knees praying for Divine guidance. And I truly believe that God will lead us out of this desert of destruction and into a glorious time of peace and security.
I urge all Americans to stay calm and go about your daily business. Executive Order 1000 will have minimal effect upon the lives of most of you. Obey all legitimate orders from your local, state and Federal authorities. They are there to help – help us all find our way through these dark and tumultuous times.
I also ask every American to pray. Pray for the six thousand souls martyred for the sake of liberty. Pray for the sick and dying. Pray for our country – that we may arise from the ashes of Los Angeles better, stronger and more grateful for the blessing that God has bestowed upon our great nation. And please – pray for me – that I may have the wisdom and strength to continue my duties as your President.
Thank you – and may God Bless America!”
============================
Epilogue – Some Years Later:
Executive Order 1000 was never rescinded. The true perpetrators of the dirty bomb attack were never found. Rumors abound that it was not Islamic Terrorists – but to publicly say so is a violation of the new “Presumed Intent Laws.” Statements presumed to intentionally cause harm to National Security are banned. Violations are brought before a Speech Tribunal and adjudicated without trial.
We are at constant war with Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Pakistan. Iraq is still “Occupied” and still a cause of constant concern, loss of life and financial drain.
Military conscription is mandatory. It now applies to both men and women up to the age of 40. Deferments are given only to pregnant women and mothers of young children.
Europe has essentially turned their backs on us. American embassies have been officially closed. The US Dollar trades at one fifth the Euro. The Yen trades at double the Euro.
China has annexed Taiwan. Stretched beyond their limits – the United States said little and did less. “Best not to anger a waking giant” was how it was put.
Mass detention centers have been established in Wyoming, Montana and Alaska. The right to a “fair and speedy trial” has been eliminated. Incarcerations are for the “duration at the pleasure of the government.”
Owning a firearm is now a federal felony.
A new federal crime – Citizen Flight – carries the penalty of life in prison without parole. Too many of the best and brightest had packed up and moved to South America. (Which incidentally is enjoying a new renaissance of prosperity and freedom.)
Every citizen must have a valid Federal ID – presentable upon demand. Those caught without one are immediately sent to “Citizen Emergency Centers” until their identities can be ascertained.
Presidential elections have not been resumed. Congress is elected – but all candidates must first be vetted by the newly formed Executive Committee of Congressional Integrity, chaired by First Citizen Rove. Citizen Rove also oversees the inspection of all electronic voting devices – made mandatory by Executive Order.
Congress is essentially an advisory body. All laws must be approved by the Executive Branch, which now enjoys the right of final and absolute veto.
The Federal Courts exist to defend whatever edicts are pronounced from Washington. The Supreme Court no longer meets.
There’s a new Cabinet Level Post – The Department of Information Control. Sean Hannity is its first Czar. All news must first pass through a complex and intensive verification process. This includes the Internet, which is now under Federal control. All ISP’s must be licensed. All internet traffic is monitored. Every e-mail and web search carries a specific machine identifier, traceable to the user.
George W. Bush remains as President – but the office is now called The Unitary Executive.
The Constitution is officially what George W. called it back in 2005 – “nothing but a goddamned piece of paper.”
Hail to the Chief!

This website is devoted to outing gay politicians who propose and vote for legislation hostile to the gay community.

Mister Senator…
This post will be read by thousands and thousands of people… It’s directed at ONE person.
Mr. Senator:
Tomorrow you will be faced with a vote that may have the longest aftereffects of any other you have cast in your Senate career.
Tomorrow you will decide if your political position is worth more than doing what is right for others like you. For others like you, Mr. Senator, who engage in oral sex with other men. (Although, Mr. Senator, most of us don’t do in the bathrooms of Union Station!) Your fake marriage, by the way, will NOT protect you from the truth being told on this blog.
How does this blog decide who to report on? It’s simple. We report on hypocrites. In this case, hypocrites who vote against the gay and lesbian community while engaging in gay sex themselves*.
When you cast that vote, Mr. Senator, represent your own…it’s the least you could do.
Michael Rogers

*While votes on many matters are considered, votes “FOR” either the Alito nomination and the Federal Marriage Amendment are enough to qualify legislators for reporting on this site.
Ladies and Gentlemen…. if they want a cultural war, I’ll give them a fucking cultural war. Fasten your seatbelts, it’s gonna be a bumpy 2006.”
UPDATE: Some of you have asked if he will be outed tomorrow. No. The blog will report on this closeted Republican Senator between tomorrow and a time when it may most impact the reelection effort of the Senator. Just because the Democratic establishment has given up the fight for our Nation, doesn’t mean this site will…
I just heard Marc do a promo and it said his show will be on in the evening. So that means After 6 pm?
New Maron commercial on XM, sounds like it is an evening show now.
Anybody here join that lame “virtual march” sponsored by Laurie David? When I think of her, I think of Larry David’s television show wife. “Curb your Enthusiasm” indeed!:omg:
This blog sure went lights out early this morning. Bye. Bye.
No, I never quite got the point of that. Nobody pays attention to 300,000 people packing Washington, why would they care about a “virtual” anything?
The live demonstrations have a chance of shaking things up.
Titus Andronicus is a vile play.
Maybe we need to find a way to interrupt the MSM news with pirate news stories. We could interrupt Hannity with some truth.
Kristapea, it took a little over a week to get mine. It looks like Marc is doing the order fulfillment himself, so I guess it depends what mood he’s in. :omg:
I blogged today on the frightening realization that I am Marc Maron’s inner girl. You guys might be amused.
hey buddies whats up?:rabbi:
anybody listen to malloy last night? he was playing rumsfeld from the national press club and a world cant wait protester started yelling at him and they told her to shut up and kicked her out and then apologized to rumsfeld saying they were “sorry your first amendment rights were violated at the press club where they care deeply for free speech” or something like that it was good for a couple laughs anywho im going away for a minute now to eat some broccoli

A City Fears for Its Soul
New Orleans Worries That Its Unique Culture May Be Lost
By Manuel Roig-Franzia
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, February 3, 2006; Page A01
NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans, the theme park?
Frightening as it sounds, the prospect of this sultry, eclectic city rising from the muck of Hurricane Katrina as a sterile imitation of itself is becoming an abiding preoccupation. Even as the city’s riverfront high ground — now dubbed the “Isle of Denial” by one scholar — gamely revives, miles of culturally vibrant neighborhoods that once smelled of simmering red beans and hosted funky second-line parades lie dark and empty, their futures in doubt.
A quiet but increasingly urgent conversation about that culture’s survival consumes this city, both on its street corners and in its institutions. In the Lower Ninth Ward, a woman who stables horses on the Mississippi River levee frets about “a land grab” that could bulldoze her home to make a “playground for the rich.” In the Bywater neighborhood, an acclaimed photographer longs for the sound of teenagers blowing horns from porches. At Loyola University, authors and academics convene a panel to ponder whether New Orleans culture can be saved.
Their worry is that the curious and crazy that developed naturally here over time will be replaced by an artificial version of what once was, that a desperate attempt to resurrect New Orleans will turn it into a sanitized, charmless, soulless city.
“Will this quirky and endlessly fascinating place become an X-rated theme park, a Disneyland for adults?” Tulane University professor Lawrence N. Powell asked in a speech that has been copied and circulated, gaining a cultlike following. “Is it fated to be the place where Orlando embraces Las Vegas? That’s the American Pompeii I apprehend rising from the toxic sludge deposited by Lake Ponchartrain: an ersatz city, a veritable site of schlock and awe.”
Countless plasterers, folk artists, brass-band high-steppers, corner barbers, Mardi Gras Indians, dive-bar guitarists and neighborhood kooks are among more than 300,000 former residents flung across the country. Their epic diaspora has shrunk this now-fractional city’s population to 140,000. Gone with them is one of the world’s most intriguing street-life scenes, a culture blended of Catholicism and voodoo, Haitians and Italians, Spaniards and French, slaves and free men…

Does anybody know of any organizations that are working to bring the “New Orleans Diaspora” back. Restore ithe city’s soul?

Cartoons and Hypocrisy
Danes Finally Apologize to Muslims (But for the Wrong Reasons)
By RACHARD ITANI
In many European countries, there are laws that will land in jail any person who has the chutzpah to deny not only the historicity of the Jewish holocaust, but also the method by which Jews were put to death by the Nazis. In some of these countries, this prohibition goes as far as prosecuting those who would claim or attempt to prove that less than 6 million jews were slaughtered by the Nazis. In none of these countries are there similar laws that threaten people with loss of freedom and wealth for denying that large percentages of gypsies, gays, mentally retarded, and other miscellaneous “debris of humanity” were also eliminated by the Jew-slaughtering Nazis.
Quickly now: what defines a hypocrite? Answer: a person who follows the letter of the law, but not its spirit. The laws against anti-semitism are just that: laws against anti-semitism enacted by hypocritical Europeans with blood on their hands from the genocides in their recent and distant past, and much guilt to atone for in their hearts and minds.
The spirit of the law, which would extend this protection to Muslims as well, if not indeed other religious groups, is nowhere to be found in the Western legal code. You can curse the Prophet of the Muslims at will and with total impunity. However, approach the holocaust at your own risks and perils if you do not include in your discussion the standard, ritualistic incantations about the six million Jewish victims of the European Nazis. There is a word for this in the English language: hypocrisy.
I used to have a lot of respect for the Dutch, the Danes, and the Norwegians, and still do. However, I cannot claim that this respect is not more nuanced today. The coloring started when the Dutch, who are invariably and automatically described as being amongst the most “tolerant” people in the West, if not the world, proved that their tolerance was little more than skin deep. Their reaction to the murder of Theo Van Gogh was anything but driven by tolerance. They behaved as a mob in reaction to the criminal, despicable action of an extremist and murderer, by painting the whole Dutch muslim community with the same broad brush that Vincent Van Gogh would have eschewed. They burnt Muslim schools and mosques. They directed opprobrium at Muslims in their midst, calling on them “to go home” though many had been born in the Netherlands. No subtlety in the Dutch reaction. Just collective anti-semitism which they directed not at the Jews, but at the Jews’ cousins, the Muslims…

Crazy, crazy week…hello everybody….
I am trying to catch up.
Where is everyone today?
Maybe we’re all tired.
Yes, it seems that Marc’s show is a night show. I heard a funny commercial today on Rachel’s show with Marc saying somehting like, “oh its not gonna be morning anymore, well you can all go to sleep with me…”
Very cute!I just got my CD and Marc did send it out himself as he did the last time I ordered from him.
I cant wait for the show. Im getting Rachel/Sam fatigue. I need some funny! Its totally warm and rainy here and everyone is talking about global warming…and this week has been hard politically.
So….that really WAS Marc who addressed the envelope? I wonder if I can send him a Valentine card, then, at that PO Box…
Oh, gosh, I feel like I’m turning into a weird teeny bopper.
I’ve been around, today, just kept getting pulled away from the computer. Recipes will follow. Maybe tomorrow…
Yay! I got my cd today too!’cept mine’s called Not Sold Out, not Tickets Not Available. Whatever, I’m laughing so hard I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard since Dec 2005 :rofl2:
I wish Ms Rant wouldn’t get out of her area of expertise and get off on these junkets about the Internet and deleting files. The internet protocol IP was invented by DOD’s DARPA project. The Transaction Control Protocol TCP was invented jointly by DARPA and AT&T. The optical cables that carry the data all over the country are owned by private companies..Some by your typical phone provider and strangely mostly by Railroad companies since their right of ways allow them to bury it without NIMBYs getting in the way. Your Internet Service Provider ISP rents time on the optical cables and pays for it as part of your bill. The big TV cable companies want to use part of the backbone bandwidth for digital TV since it can coexist with the TCPIP packets. It would make sense that if you are a slow speed user, someone not watching web TV or downloading movies, that you should pay less for your service than someone using 100% of a 2 megabit/sec connection. That’s the way it already is. Cable costs more than DSL which costs more than dial up.
This new Internet usage thing is an attempt to make you pay for your bandwidth on a per transaction basis. That might be good in that if you don’t use a whole lot of bandwidth in a given month it would cost less.
The major impact would probably be that the guy on a modem connection watching C-span would get a bigger bill.
We have two T1 circuits at work which costs like 1200 dollars a month and gives like a 2.7 megabit per second data rate. I have a DSL modem at home which is a 1.5 megabit per sec circuit for $ 46/month.
Randi’s assertion that the internet is free and is going to privatized is wrong. Its not free and its always been privatized.
Deleting files involves the removal of a bit field in the file header and removing references to it from the directory look up tables so it is true that the moment after you delete the file its still there but as you write other files to the disk all or parts of the files you have deleted get written over by new files.
There are also secure delete programs which most federal labs use that write over the file contents when you delete them with a random data pattern so when you delete the file it is truly gone.
Fred, I cant believe that you can stand to listen to Randi…She is so ranty these days and so repetitive that she drives me crazy. If I finish with Rachel I go on to Majority Report from the night before and then maybe Al…I use the replay a/v and have it all saved onto my pod and computer so I dont have to ever hear Jerry or Randi…
Even Sam gets on my nerves alot these days too…all that yelling at his booth guys to close the freakin closet…its so odd…
Anyway, Randi is smart but I guess she cant know everything…I think you may have just noted something that she doesnt know…
But I bet she could argue her way out of it!
I was listening to Schultz but he pissed me off too. We need a third and forth choice in Randi’s time slot.:mad::rant1:
How about four hours of the Marc Maron Show?
I THOUGHT BUSH WASN’T DOWN WITH THE BROKE-BACK
GOTTA GET THE MOTHERFUCKING GOVERNMENT OUT OF MY ASS-CRACK!
:fire:
:TIA:
I used to try to listen to schultz because he brags about catering to the kinda folks that take their shower at the end of the day (ho ho ho)and I care alot about labor and bread and butter issues. but I finally couldn’t take the rush-limbaugh voice any more because he had a long period of attacking howard dean, and moveon.org, and he is really more about carrying the water for the centrists in the party.
for example, this week alone he has had on at least two of the traitorous dems who voted against the filibuster, conrad (the day after the vote) and bingaman. :rant1::rant1::rant1:
marc, oh marc, where are you? 🙁
so I just listened to the two little clips of marc promoting his new show, which pj has kindly posted in the forum section. just hearing his voice was a pick-me-up!! :banana: ok, so now I am finally going to stop procrastinating and go order his new cd. what the heck have I been waiting for? :doh::doh::doh:
marc, man, you rule. :bow::bow::bow:
…all that yelling at his booth guys to close the freakin closet…its so odd
Sam usually says that right after he mentions the name of a closeted republican.
Oh yeah! “Mega warm-up, comin’ up.” Just heard it on the local news.
:banana:
It might hit 30 degrees on Sunday. Whoppee(no, not really):40:
Travis, do you like living in Alaska? Seems sorta depressing.
Yeah, the short answer is no. I just spent the better part of 20 minutes writing why, but I’m saving those for my book and decided not to include them in my short answer.
Epic adventures and…..damn, I forgot the title already.
Don’t give away the title, someone might steal it.
That’s funny, ’cause I gave it to Maron. I don’t know if he’ll use it though. We’ll see, I guess.
:grin:Mike Malloy
Mike is going to play a british newscast regarding the new downing street memo.
Yeah, I just turned him on. Thanks for mentioning it. I haven’t really heard Malloy that much.
Malloy:paranoid:
Yay! I got my cd today too!’cept mine’s called Not Sold Out, not Tickets Not Available. Whatever, I’m laughing so hard I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard since Dec 2005
Comment by Kristapea — February 3, 2006 @ 6:24 pm
Krista, Not Sold Out is the CD that came out last year of a performance that was recorded in 2002. Tickets Still Available is the new one. They’re both very funny.
They’re cracking down on streaming at my job. Apparently some people are downloading ITunes and/or burning CDs on company time, and the suits are feeling some heat. We are no longer allowed to stream radio stations or music websites.
My excuse to get around the rule when eventually I get busted is… OK, technically I’m streaming radio, but it’s not music radio, which is what the rule prohibits. It’s talk radio. So there. :tongue:
I’m resigned to the fact that I’m going to have to get an iPod anyway for Marc’s show. Anyone have recommendations? My situation is that being in the Eastern time zone, I will have to download the previous night’s show and listen to it the next day or later. I have a PC at work, and access to another in my apartment complex. Ideally I would like to download the show to the iPod first thing in the morning at work.
Malloy said he has finally come to the conclusion that 9/11 was a carefully orchestrated attack on this country by the Bush Crime Family.
I don’t remember making a choice when I ordered the cd. Hmm, now I still have to buy the new cd. It will have to wait. Oh well, this one is doing the job. My face was hurting I was laughing so hard. It’s been so long since we had the funny I forgot what it was like to laugh!:rofl2::banana:
OPERATION WHAT? I missed it. What was that thing about Cuba?
travis, Operation Northwoods
cool! Thanks:doh:
Kevin- I would suggest the video iPod. Im selling my old photo iPod on ebay amd I got a video one. There is alot of content available and podcasts are going to video…even AAR Premium is getting on board with that, not to mention that there are TV shows and all that available. Its a cool little thing and worth it, I think.
I was able to get an educational discount at Apple by using my old college…they didnt even check my ID, and even though its not long since I graduated, I thought they would want a bill or current ID which I dont have, but they didnt.
Dont get the shuffle..and the Nano is easily dropped and broken.
The podcasting thing is fantastic and you can set iTunes or Replay to iTunes to load shows directly to your iPod. Sometimes they dont come in exactly on time because it depends on the scheduling and when they are posted, but mostly they are right there. I also save other content just to have in case I run out or I need it.
There are lots of interesting podcasts (I like the tech ones but they have everything from Tim Russert’s Sunday show to Bill Mahr when he gets back from vacation)
It really doesnt have to be an iPod, but I like it. I never planed on getting one but after Marc got his and talked about it so much I became convinced that it was worth it….and now I love my iPod so much! It has literally changed my life! I have been assimilated…but I am so much more productive if I can putter round listening to stuff that makes me happy…so its worth it all around.
Get the most storage that you can afford. I have 60 gigs…Ive filled 10 gigs and in there I have the entire archive of MS, a bunch of new shows to listen to over the weekend, all my favorite records, some videos and old Alfred Hitchcock and Law and Orders…whatever seemed interesting at the time….I havent even bothered with my pictures yet. I have a new phone that takes pictures so it just feels unnecessary to also have pics on my ipod….
The other piece that is pretty great is the alarm clock dock thing…its $99 but you can play your content on it and it sounds good and its also an AM/FM radio and clock radio…and you can choose to wake to your iPod.
Just make sure that you get a good case right away.
If you want a suggestion on cases when you decide which one youre getting let me know and Ill tell you what Ive found through looking endlessly and trying different ones…
Good luck….
God, I sound like a freakin Borg…
Krista, Malloy just gave a plug to freeway blogger and read an email from them.
Well…if Marc’s show is starting on the 13th then we have only …10 DAYS!!!
I love that hes using the old music on the commercials. I hope he keeps some of that..it would be a good salute to MS.
nite everyone….Ill be on tomorrow…long week…man, Im tired.
G’night Melina. I’m gettin’ tired, too, and it’s only 7:00.
I’m getting really paranoid, thanks to Malloy. The government sponsored terrorism. The masked kidnappers in Iraq are probably sponsored by the US to keep public perception against withdrawing.:paranoid:
Was that too crazy for ya? I’m sorry.:fustrate:
the only show i put effort into listening to anymore is malloy i only listen to the other shows if im driving now if maron is on the xm i’ll finally have two shows that i get to put effort into listening to but im not holding my breath

So, it’s wierd to hear Marc swear so much. I had never heard of him before Air America so he’s always been censored for me. He sounds as bad as me!:nod: Now I’m listening to Nambla(Pendejo). I MISS MARC!
:40:
I bought the old CD too. I was not aware that there was a choice. Mine came from Laugh Times. No liner notes, set in NYC–not Seattle. 2002. Etc. Now I have something to look forward too. Will Maron process the order for me?:rabbi:
hey somebody else do some posting so when i get to georgia there are as least 100 posts
so annoying that no stores sell maron oh well i suppose one day ill be able to get a burnt copy from someone on here when i come to your town:banana:
