I had to stay up way too late last night doing stuff, so I have no idea what’s going on in the world, and it may be a few days before I get a chance to find out. You guys better keep an eye open for a mushroom cloud, and let me know if something’s going down.

Damn right, the man is. Even if he’s a fictional character.
For those of you not watching, which would be everybody but me, the president is in league with terrorists and has invoked martial law in order to benefit Big Oil and solidify his power base.
Good thing nothing like that could ever happen in real life.

I don’t think any of you live in the SanFran area but in about an hour and ten minutes your CD sirens will come on.. The Chinese are not attacking , although with the visit of the Chinese premiere later in the week it is rumored that he is bringing an eviction notice.. but .. you are celebrating (?) the 100th anniversary of the Earth Quake of 1906. If you ever have another one like that one while the rethugs are in office I think you can FORGETABOUTIT
Sorry but Jim Earle is waaaay too combative for a side kick! Geez, enough of the fighting on air! Jim is sooo uncomfortable in his own skin he’s only funny inside one of his characters. No wonder The Daily Show let him go. Sorry, but Jim’s the definition of a “pain in the ass”.
I miss the good old days when at noon on the first Friday of each moth they would test the Civil Defense sirens.. In the 1980’s they took out all the CD sirens.. Then we started having tornadoes nearer and nearer to the metro area..( actually the metro area moved nearer and nearer to where their apparently always have been tornadoes) The city suggested that everyone get a weather radio. I guess if you are outside wondering around where you are not near your weather radio you get sacrificed to the tornado god.
Good morning everyone …. :joe:… Im really going to have to subscribe to this or something…I meant to stay up last night but I fell right asleep waiting for the Daily Show, didn’t even get to 1 AM… just when I think I can back into late night mode … grrrrrr. So Jim was too much, yeah, I can see that I suppose….

Years ago when I had first arrived here, there were sirens and everyone was forced by patroling army to get off the street. I was pushed into a little shop. They told me the reason. I didn’t speak or read any Chinese yet. They got out a dictionary and wrote down “AIR RAID”! :omg: I started to freak out. The Chinese WERE ATTACKING!!! They translated one more word-
“PRACTICE”. 😀

Actually I know this comment was in regards to something else, but Art Spiegelman did come out with a pretty good 9/11 comic… or rather graphic novel… not exploitative 9/11 stuff, though. Pretty cool personal journey.

Good Morning Seditionisti,
I miss the sirens, although, I’ve heard them more recently than the eighties.
Hey everyone- Monica Crowley was just on Imus and spewing the talking points about the war and all…Imus asked her quite seriously if she had ever tried oxycontin and if she had ever done it with Rush…and said that she was so obviously on drugs if she believed all of the crap she was saying…This from an arguably Republican radio guy…its so funnyhow they eat their own. She said ‘oh Don, but you were for the war in the beginning…?’…and he said NO, that he had never been for this god forsaken war and look at how many people have died and how badly its been handled…on and on…and she kept giggling and trying to say ‘now, all kidding aside…’, ‘seriously now…’
It wasnt a big fight, but I like to hear them go after eachother.
Kat, how can we get Malkin’s numbbers? I wonder if there is a way…I’ll bet PJ could!…but he is busy keeping the world safe through IT security, not the other way around!!…heh…Whers a good hacker when you need one.
Kevin, I LOVE 24…but I taped it last night because I havent caught up yet. I think this is the best season since the first, really! Im 2 weeks behind now in everything.Anyone who is not watching 24 is in for a real treat in watching it on DVD…If you start with the DVD, its hard to get up and go to work or leave the house until youve seen the whole thing…its really…er…captivating…and well done. Season 1 was like a feature in how it was shot…just beautiful.
Im so glad that Kiefer signed on for 3 more seasons.
I did watch History of Violence the other night. I really liked that….the ending sorta reminded me of the movie where Diane Lane has an affair with the…ooohhh…Olivier something or other:love:…and then Gere kills him with a snow globe or something…that was a good film too.
But Mom and I disagreed about what we predicted would happen next….
Olmert the Fox
By URI AVNERY
Today, Ehud Olmert has become the Prime minister of Israel.
No longer just a “Deputy Prime Minister”, but now a real one. One hundred days after Ariel Sharon sank into a coma, the job and the title were taken away from him, as the law demands.
Olmert is now the acting prime minister of the transitional government, and in a few weeks hence, with the establishment of the new coalition, he will become the head of a regular government.
All this is happening without any real debate about Olmert.
The man, who has been a public figure all his life, is really unknown to most citizens. For the public, it suffices that he is the “Heir of Sharon”.
Yet it is difficult to imagine a bigger difference between two people than that between Sharon and Olmert. It’s the difference between a lion and a fox, between the king of the animals and the most cunning (according to the fables).
…In NYC you can always hear sirens, but not the kind youre talking about. Up here, the towns that have volunteer fire departments still have the old fashioned siren warning systems. There is one right outside of my shrink’s window which they test at noon and also blow for any calls…its really loud! We have to just sit and look at theachother while it sounds…sorta like the church bells…
But my favorite is the sound of the train coming through.
In MT I lived in a railroad town (In Livingston, which is where A River Runs Through It was shot) and the sound of the train was one of the great attractions…as long as its in the distance and not right outside the window!..(.or the subway shaking your house/apartment like an earthquake)
BATB, I don’t perceive Jim that way.
Why do you think he has a chip on his shoulder?

An Israeli bulldozer killed poor Rachel Corrie
As she stood in its path in the town of Rafah
She lost her young life in an act of compassion
Trying to protect the poor people of Gaza
Whose homes are destroyed by tank shells and bulldozers
And whose plight is exploited by suicide bombers
Who kill in the name of the people of Gaza
But Rachel Corrie believed in non-violent resistance
Put herself in harm’s way as a shield of the people
And paid with her life in a manner most brutal
But you who philosophise disgrace and criticise all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain’t the time for your tears.
Rachel Corrie had 23 years
She was born in the town of Olympia, Washington
A skinny, messy, list-making chain-smoker
Who volunteered to protect the Palestinian people
Who had become non-persons in the eyes of the media
So that people were suffering and no one was seeing
Or hearing or talking or caring or acting
And the horrible math of the awful equation
That brought Rachel Corrie into this confrontation
Is that the spilt blood of a single American
Is worth more than the blood of a hundred Palestinians
But you who philosophise disgrace and criticise all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain’t the time for your tears.
The artistic director of a New York theatre
Cancelled a play based on Rachel’s writings
But she wasn’t a bomber or a killer or fighter
But one who acted in the spirit of the Freedom Riders
Is there no place for a voice in America
That doesn’t conform to the Fox News agenda?
Who believes in non-violence instead of brute force
Who is willing to confront the might of an army
Whose passionate beliefs were matched by her bravery
The question she asked rings out round the world
If America is truly the beacon of freedom
Then how can it stand by while they bring down the curtain
And turn Rachel Corrie into a non-person?
Oh, but you who philosophise disgrace and criticise all fears,
Bury the rag deep in your face
For now’s the time for your tears.

isi- Jim is soooo defensive all the time. Marc can’t bring Jim into a normal conversation…they can never share a laugh together….does Jim ever laugh? Attacking peoples music taste so vehemently, or biting their heads off cuz someone eats meat…geez…I think he’s a very unhappy person.

It is pretty amazing how literature has already been here done that..
Meatrix- not preachy, practical. Thanks.
BATB, I didn’t hear Friday’s show. Is that when the music argument happened? They talked a little about it last night. I thought Jim imitating Led Zeppelin was funny. Marc hasn’t settled into the back and forth with Jim, yet. I don’t think Jim’s comments are personal. Just what he thinks. I think he’s just being honest.
I would like to have Jim work on being a “laugh out loud” kind of person. His laughs are more internal. Or have someone else take up the slack on the laughing part.
Farmerkat re #41 :banana: Yea
So were Sue Ellicot’s. How did that end???
It was interesting, Marc was talking about his garage studio and the fact that his new producer “Sleepy Bill Kollar” has already had him buy $10,000 more equipment. Do you think his garage is their new studio they say they are broadcasting from. As always, Marc is mysterious about things.
And, hey, when will TMMS be on XM so Sean can listen??:wink:
isi and Beat around the Bush,
Just for info, I like Jim too. 😀 :yawn:
Gone to close down home. :yawn: Just as the blog gets going, I have to go :yawn: to sleep.
isi, yea friday nite Marc and Jim fought (often yelled) for the first 20 minutes over bands of the 60’s-80’s, (beatles, led zep., journey, boston, and on and on, who really cares all that much).
Speaking of Sue Ellicott, I think Jim can derail Marc’s “funny” just as easily as Sue.
Sorry, I’ve been biting my tongue since the start up but I will be VERY surprised if Jim continues to just take up space on the 3rd microphone.
Beat- #60 that’s what I was driving at. (though I love Jim’s cast of characters and don’t want to lose them)
Well, I hope Jim stays around and Marc learns to work with him. :peace:
Jim adds something to the show in addition to the cast of characters. He has a take on the issues that I like and that Marc doesn’t express. Jim’s opinions need a voice.
If Jim goes, it will be because of Marc’s ego.
Well I do think Marc usually tries to be so nice to Jim, friday nite he lost it tho…I do like Jim’s characters but he’s not adding anything to the on air interviews/banter. Sorry isi.
but Jim creates the funny (sue was a stick in the mud) – i think he’s at least intellectually honest. He doesn’t spout off crap; he’s always well-read about the opinions he forms….
isi- I can see and accept that Jim’s POV is often valid and significant. Just, the first hour Friday was unpleasent to listen to. I’m just trying to pinpoint it.
ya KK-gotta second that
LESS “UNPLEASANT” and MORE FUNNY!!!
Well, it looks like I need to try and listen to Friday night’s show. I don’t have an mp3 player. Can I download the torrent and listen thru my computer speakers?
yep, that should work
Try here isi.
FK, how ya feeling gal? Are you re-couping well at home? (I’ve been outta town and outta the loop)
Thanks KK 😀

I downloaded the torrent from friday’s show but windows wouldn’t open it. Said the file type was unknown. Any suggestions?
Gotta get a BitTorrent client, isi. The torrent file is just a pointer to the actual file, which you get from multiple users over the Internet. Have a look at the BitTorrent page I put up. You don’t have to read the whole thing if you don’t want, and can just jump to info about downloading the client and stuff.
25 to 32 WAY TO GO!
When did that happen?
I started to get chest pains reading about bit torrents. I’ll come back to it later and try to figure it out. 😯

uh yep look up marc wolff in los angeles could it be? or is it the pornstar that i got when i googled the name or someone altogether unrelated to our marc? im confused need sleep sleep!
I dunno Sean, some sites require an active X control to be installed to access certain features. You should only allow them to be installed if you trust the source and need whatever function they provide.

Was William Hurt not astonishing in that movie? I couldn’t take my eyes off him the entire time he was on screen. What a captivating presence.
Viggo and Maria Bello turned in great performances as well. My personal choice for best movie of 2005.
So far in 2006 it’s probably V For Vendetta, but the year is still young. Gotta see Thank You For Smoking this weekend.
:bong:
(OK, I know it’s not about that kind of smoking.) 😀
Yeah, man, I don’t mean to cause a little ripple in the flow, but, ah, I’m thinkin’ the Zen is callin’ me.:ear: And there’s this deal where you can get fifty dollars off, if you purchase from dell. Here’s the catch, though. The price of the Zen is $299.99 and the coupon is for anything over $300 to save fifty dollars. So I guess I’d have to purchase something else with it, and there probably isn’t anything for a penny, either.
The Zen Sirens are so loud.:ear: I don’t I think I should put down that kind of scratch, though. I dunno, my consumer (selfishness) drive is luring me in direction of the Zen. Anybody see any rocks up ahead, or is it all clear?:bong:
That was a trip. Anyway:doh: Zen or no Zen?
I would imagine that with a few phone calls that the six Generals that have spoken out against Bush could easily remove him from office and maybe a large portion of down town DC would go with him. It may be that we will have a new American experience called a Coup. Pray if that happens that congress is in session at the time.
I think that Rhodes perception of the problem with rethugs in general is clouded by her deap disdain for the head thug.. Rethugs are like cockroaches they all have to go to solve the problem.
I wonder if delegations of regular Americans went to Beijing and Moscow and met with HU and Putin concerning doing something to the US if that would get any media attention. ??
I still think a confrontation which we lose would lead to the complete failure of the whole system. If it turns into more than a confrontation then those not paying attention will just think for a moment that they have been ruptured.
Yeah, the high of the Zen has escaped me.:bong:
I like these critiques of TMMS. Jim Earl’s current struggles to create his niche. You know, I used tol like Sue Ellicott–it was her accent–when I first heard the show. So early in the morning that my critical faculties were not on. Yes, she sometimes undercut the funny, but the show was not that bad. Of course, it did not become a classic until after she left. I enjoy going back and listening to them–hope AA Place keeps them on line. I have a question: Which were the shows where Morning Sedition supposedly gelled? (Was it during the Dead Reagan Week? Dates of the shows. I wanr t to listen.)
I should have edited the post above. Too many pronouns, and such.:omg: But, hell: we are all on the same page. Keep those show critiques coming.

Hey all, crap it’s hard keeping up these days. So now I have to listen to this first hour of Fridays show to be able to comment but it’s going to take me forever to figure out what kind of problem I was having with the bit torrent before I just went for the Replay AV. :doh:
Hey everyone!
Im so behind today but I just sat and read today’s blog.
First of all-Travis: Dell always has great offers and the best thing to do is to phone them and tell them youre on the web page and that you want to buy the…Zen or whatever…then tell them that you want the offer to apply even though its a penny difference. They will do it for you…if not, tell the salesperson to ask their supervisor if they can do it. They usually can. If not, then wait a few days and keep checking because they have new deals every week.
I havent looked at them but it seems like what PJ has is really great. Iriver…? I cant remember. Try to get one with video because that is a huge wave coming in and if y ou ever want to sell it on ebay to upgrade you’ll do better with the newest features…plus, its cool to have!Dell just gave me a great deal that was expired…but the boss approved it and jumped through hoops to figure out a code that the computer would take.
Yo Everyone!
Hey, thanks Melina. Actually, I just purchased the Creative Zen: M at the Dell web site. Hopefully everything works out. I saved some cash because I found another on-line coupon, but got screwed with the Alaskan shipping charge:growl: I’m really messing up my trip funds for the summer in Sunny Seattle.:doh:
Also, I listened to yesterday’s show and I have to say that I laughed out loud a few times, as I did while listening to Friday’s show, but Im finding that the Jim thing is a little troubling because its sorta tense….like its almost not a joke and that they are on the edge of some big blow up…or maybe theyre pretending…but if they are its not working out very well.
I guess that Marc said something like that they were gonna implode or that the show was gonna get cancelled now that they were doing well. Sometime during that time, a couple of my dogs had a fight up in the dogrun so Im not sure if I heard right because I was swinging a dog around by her collar while listening 😉
The comparison for me is that Mark Riley provided a soft sorta Daddy-o, warm presence for Marc to bounce off of. His edge was softened by Mark. Jim has an almost worse edge than Marc and, strangely, is more competitive with Marc in a high school way, so they seem at odds. I just dont know if Jim as an on air personality works all that well…but I’ve thought all along, and I still think really strongly, that they need to add more interaction with the crew. That was a strong point of MS, and it works really well for Marc because he names everyone and makes his crew a family. Im sure hes doing that, but those guys are in the booth and we cant hear very much of it….It would be so much better if they added interaction with the crew and it would take the pressure off of Jim to be the straight guy.
2 comedians, who are largely the same, as on air personalities dont really work out. I cant think of one situation, except when one is really a straight man or a stupid man. Marc and JIm are alot alike…and theyve worked together for so long, that its almost like Jim is part of Marc’s acerbic side and there is no other side happening.
Its too much and makes me cringe sometimes. Its still the best thing on…and nothing makes me laugh out loud anymore…so If I did 5 or 6 times between Friday and Monday considering what happened, its a good thing…..
I hate to give Michael Dell more money but his company is still great, and I always tell them that they need to bring the jobs back to the US….that I disagree with his politics…and that Dell could be a really great company if it decided to make a little less money and become a purey US company!…Think of it!…If Dell took a billion of his money or so and brough all those jobs back. What a statement that would make and sales would go through the roof!
The news is that the preliminary necropsy results on Tweet show that he had a massive respiratory infection. He had little to no normal lung tissue and he had a couple of small hemmorhage in his heart. But otherwise he was perfect.
So, I have to decide if I want to send the tissue to a lab to see what sickness he had. Since nothing has happened to the many others who were in his clutch and all have gone to local homes, its either just a freak occurance that he got something along the way or maybe he had something…which is less likely. Its also unlikely that any vet could have diagnosed this…but I suppose that if I have the tests done to try to type the bacteria or whatever, I will know for sure.
I miss Tweet so much…its so quiet around here without him.
I finally went to the bird store today…waited till now because I was too weepy…I only cried a little today. But, I got to see Jose who is the parrot of the guy who works there and is 15 years old. he was willed to the guy by and old couple who had bought him there and died…they knew that Jose loved this guy so they requested that Todd take him. He is so affectionate, like a kitten, and he sits on my shoulder and whispers “I love you”…these red bellied Senegals whisper instead of scream and squawk…its so sweet.
Anyway, I hope Ill have a new baby by early next week…but am very worried about …everything….
nite everyone…time to shut my eyes for a while.
