Glad you’re going home, PJ…enjoy your day off! Good morning, sheeple. :joe::sheep:
See, this is why I listen to Riley. Once in a while he’ll have something I won’t hear in MSM until later, if at all.
So let the conspiracy theories begin. Was al-Zarqawi murdered? Was it planned? Surely if Karl Rove was behind it, the timing would have been better. Like a couple of days before an election or something.
Hey Sean, are you working the Florida part of the Warped tour? I think the St Petersburg date is toward the end of June.
How many times have we killed this guy now.. is it three.. four I lost count.. AQ doesn’t have leaders all it is a bunch of ticked off Muslims operating in small groups.. I doubt that they even have central purchasing. 🙁
Oh and good morning it must be 110 up here in this office space and its only ten after 5 in the morning pant pant pant.:roll::eek::omg:
I will bet its nice and cool over in the main conference room so one will have to see if we can make the thursday morning meeting last all day. … NOooooooo.
What am I saying … :joe::joe::joe::tongue:
5 Am, you must work a late night/early morning shift, Fred? I feel for you in that heat…It’s cool here, I haven’t used the air conditioning in a few days. Though it hasn’t stopped raining for like a month, either.
hey guys…runnign round here in hell…things are just not so great in medicationland…but I wanted to mention that its worth it to switch on Imus on MSNBC TV or on radio…streaming from a computer near you Im sure…because after psycho talks, he is gonna have Mr FK who is apparently standing by and has been on once already, and Schmoe Lieberman to gush over how wonderful Psycho is, and thus seal his fate, and then david gregory in there to talk about…who knows?
This along with Tucker popping in to say what a huge response hes getting on having Coulter on and so will devote another show to her!!

This is important, people:
Steven Van Zandt
Reviewed by Noel Murray
June 7th, 2006
Born and raised in New Jersey, Steven Van Zandt grew up as a rock freak in what he still believes was rock’s greatest era, when legends like The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Byrds inspired teenagers across the country to start bands that could be just as great for any given three minutes. Van Zandt rose from the garage circuit to the Asbury Park bar scene, where he befriended the local players who later formed The E Street Band and Southside Johnny’s band The Asbury Jukes. Van Zandt made the leap from the Dukes to the E Streeters after helping Bruce Springsteen with the arrangements on Born To Run, and his stint with the band corresponded with (and maybe prompted) Springsteen’s shift from Bob Dylan-inspired boogie epics to the working-class retro-rock of his heyday.
Van Zandt left the band in the ’80s to pursue a more political brand of global rock, embarking on a five-album cycle that began with 1982’s intimate Men Without Women and ended with 1999’s equally intimate Born Again Savage, with more expansive records (and a couple of minor hits) in between. He returned to touring with The E Street Band when Springsteen reconvened the group in the late ’90s, but lately, he’s been better known for two unexpectedly successful side projects: his recurring role on The Sopranos as the mobbed-up proprietor of a Jersey strip club, and his four-years-and-counting run as the programmer/host of the weekly syndicated radio show Little Steven’s Underground Garage. Between hustling from TV sets to radio booths—and writing a weekly column on garage rock for Billboard—Van Zandt spoke with The A.V. Club about how his eclectic career fits into one long statement in favor of rock ‘n’ roll’s power to bring people together.
The A.V. Club: Did you ever grab a stack of records and play DJ when you were a kid?
Steven Van Zandt: [Laughs.] Nope. It never occurred to me. Never did that. I never pretended I was an actor, either. [Laughs.] There’s a lot of things you end up doing that you never figured on.
AVC: What did you think you were going to do?
SVZ: Well, from the age of 14, 13, I guess I wanted to be a rock ‘n’ roll star. And that was it. I wanted to make a living playing rock ‘n’ roll, and it was a ridiculously impossible dream at that time. But it was kind of all I ever wanted to do. It’s nice to do it.
AVC: On the radio show, how much say do you have in the final playlist?
SVZ: One hundred percent.
AVC: Everything is your choice?
SVZ: Completely. Every single second of the show is me.
AVC: It’s a wide, diverse collection of music, from old to new.
SVZ: Well, I think it’s important that all 50 years of rock ‘n’ roll live in the same place, because it’s all connected. I’m not pretending to be an academic, or to have this down to a science. It’s strictly my taste. But there is a connection between everything I play and the sets I put together. The Ramones are the fulcrum. I play the Ramones, I play everyone who influenced the Ramones, and I play everyone the Ramones influenced. If you look at it that way, it sort of makes sense. [Laughs.]
Basically, it’s what we call garage rock, which is traditional rock ‘n’ roll. I hear a very specific, obvious emotional connection, even if it’s just in the spirit of the record. They’re all connected in my mind.

Mr FK looked great…and is so smart…makes the I-man look like the do-do that he is…
He endorsed Lieberman after listening to him gush about bush and how well its all going .

Imus had a million questions and Mr had every answer…as if he was trying to trip him up…then he said, well, wouldnt you look dumb if you didnt know these answers? But, look, you do!
What is that all about?
I Love little steven…I actually saw the disciples of soul play a few times…and southside johnny too…
I had all the vinyl records..just lost most of em to flood and mold…vinyl in CT doesnt work…Ive given up.
woooo Little Steven, rock on, man… *
How It All Began
Truman and Israel
By HARRY CLARK
The Truman Administration’s policy on Palestine challenges at its start the “strategic asset” view of the US-Israel relationship, and reinforces the “Israel lobby” view, as argued in the recent article by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt. Truman’s support for the creation of a Jewish state was due entirely to the US Jewish community, without whose influence Zionist achievements in Palestine would have been for nought. Long before any strategic argument was made, indeed, while a Jewish state was considered a strategic liability, long before Israel’s fundamentalist Christian supporters of today were on the map, the nascent Israel lobby deployed its manifold resources with consummate skill and ruthlessness.
Rabbi Abba Silver, a Cleveland Zionist with Republican contacts, and Zionist official Emmanuel Neumann, initiated “Democratic and Republican competition for the Jewish vote.” In 1944 they “wrung support from the conventions of both parties for the Taft-Wagner [Senate] resolution” supporting abrogation of the Palestine immigration limits in the 1939 British white paper, and the establishment of Palestine as a Jewish commonwealth. Ensuring the traditional loyalty of Jewish voters was a paramount concern of Democratic politicians, up to the president himself, in the New York mayoral election of 1945, the 1946 congressional elections, and the 1948 presidential election.
Gentile opinion was also courted in non-electoral ways, through the American Palestine Committee of notables, constituted in 1941 by Emmanuel Neumann of the American Zionist Emergency Committee. By 1946 it included “sixty-eight senators, two hundred congressmen and several state governors” with “seventy-five local chapters.” It became “‘the preeminent symbol of pro-Zionist sentiment among the non-Jewish American public.'” It was entirely a Zionist front…

Cadaverous Queen of Conservatives Smears 9/11 Widows
Ann Coulter’s Blood Lust
By LLOYD WILLIAMS
These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ death so much. These self-obsessed women seem genuinely unaware that 9-11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attack only happened to them. They believe the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently, denouncing Bush was part of the closure process.
– Ann Coulter, quoted criticizing 9/11 widows on The Today Show
How does Ann Coulter continue to get away with it? In the
past, this rabid right-winger has advocated everything from assassination (“We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens’ crème brûlée.”) to profiling and ethnic cleansing (“I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo.”
I daresay that if I were to suggest, even in jest, that some prominent political figure deserved to be murdered, I’d find myself in handcuffs and leg-irons and frog-hopped to Federal prison faster than you could say “The Patriot Act.” But Coulter, the conservative queen of agit-propaganda, remains a media darling despite continuously venturing beyond partisan politics into the relam of deliberately inflammatory hate speech.
Most recently, on June 05, the cadaverous blonde was interviewed by Matt Lauer on The Today Show, where she had been invited to promote her new book, “Godless: The Church of Liberalism.” When Matt asked her to explain the President’s record-low approval ratings, she launched into an attack on the 9/11 widows, ostensibly because some of them have questioned the Bush Administration’s lack of response to the warning signs of the impending terrorist attack which claimed their husbands’ lives.
Soulmates
Ann Coulter and Rev. Fred Phelps: a Romance
By MISSY COMLEY BEATTIE
Fred Phelps, pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, has placed Ann Coulter’s latest book, “Godless: The Church of Liberalism,” in every pew of his church much to the delight of his congregation. “It’s our new Bible,” he’s just pontificated to his flock. Exhilarated by Coulter’s wisdom, they don’t care that Phelps’ wife Marge, mother of their 13 children, has left him.
Remember Fred? He’s the minister whose mission is to rid the world of homosexuals. His antics include attending military funerals, carrying signs that read, “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” and “Thank God for IEDs,” protesting a government he perceives to be gay-friendly.
Here’s the story: Seems Marge was enraged when she saw her man’s reaction to Coulter. Mrs. Phelps emerged from the kitchen just in time to see Matt Lauer’s interview with Coulter and she certainly didn’t like what she saw. Ann, sporting a delicate necklace from which a cross hangs and wearing one of her short, black sheaths to expose those long legs, is Viagra to Phelps. When Fred’s eyes fixed on Coulter’s signature move-flipping that blond hair off her face, Marge recognized “that look” in her husband’s eyes and confronted him with a vengeance. But there was no stopping Fred. He immediately felt a hard-drive connection with Coulter and ordered copies of her book.
After reading passages of “Godless,” Pastor Phelps was heard repeating verbatim Coulter’s condemnations of the New Jersey 9/11 widows, the four women who have pushed for an independent commission to investigate the government’s failures prior to that day in September when their husbands perished.
“I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much,” Fred said over and over until Marge picked up the sign that said “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” and started chasing him around the room with it.
And, then, Fred took another quote from Ann’s book and launched it at his wife, “By the way, how do we know their husbands weren’t planning to divorce these harpies?”
Marge, at this point, exhausted and slightly disoriented, said, “Who are you calling a harpy?”

Imagining Pacifica’s Future
by Greg Guma; June 08, 2006
The following are excerpts from a report delivered to the Pacifica National Board by Executive Director Greg Guma on June 3, 2006 at a session held in New York:
I’d like to begin by asking you to imagine the Pacifica radio network a few years from now. Start by imagining an audio production center with multiple channels and schedules open to frequent change, a place that breaks down distinctions between listeners and producers, a hothouse for the cultivation of talent and a laboratory for new ideas, a place where people converge, contribute – and then move on, a center for the development of informative, educational and entertaining programs with community partners and like-minded organizations.
But it’s more than that. It’s also place where people learn how to communicate, an audio resource center that offers state-of-the-art training and a variety of platforms to get messages — news, information, opinions, music, humor, drama and more — out into the world.
While you’re at it, imagine a workplace where people look forward to the challenges of each day, where the discussion is vigorous and dynamic, and where disagreements aren’t feared but rather welcomed because those involved realize that they can lead to creative solutions. And imagine a staff that sees its job as nurturing, teaching, and enabling others to freely and effectively express themselves.
Now look beyond that, and imagine a network where diversity is a cause for celebration rather than conflict, where programs offer people hope and alternatives, a clearinghouse that shares ideas, talent and programs with more than 200 affiliates, a truly national network that educates and entertains by stimulating dialogue and asking hard questions – and does this with a combination of irreverence and respect.
This is some of how I envision Pacifica in the future, and I hope you can imagine something similar. But however our visions may differ, we obviously have some challenges, significant work to do and key decisions to make to get from here to there.
A changing landscape
There is no time to waste. The evidence suggests that, at the moment, the audience for public radio appears to have leveled off, and some stations are even losing ground. Meanwhile, Internet stations, podcasts, MP3s and iPods are changing the way people around the world listen. Increasingly, they have more control over their audio consumption. They can listen to programs and stations from other areas, and at times more convenient to their schedules. They can even carry their favorite radio shows and entire music library around with them.
Recent studies indicate that within five years a third of public radio’s weekly audience will listen at least two hours a week to programs delivered through a platform other than a primary broadcast channel. The shift could go even further – half of the entire audience could be using new platforms up to four hours weekly. That translates into somewhere between 8 and 25 percent of public radio’s total service.
The question is: Will Pacifica be ready to provide these new platforms and services? We are beginning to gear up, better coordinate our efforts, and develop new capacity for training and distribution. But we need to continue investing – in equipment, concepts, and personnel — if we are going to create the reliable new infrastructure we need.

Ugh Fred Phelps and Ann Coulter. I feel dirty just reading about them
Gee, not much posting today. Sorry I missed MR this morning. When was he on? I turned to MSNBC at about 7:40, but he stll wasn’t on by 8 (unless I missed him). God, I find Imus to be disgusting to watch. The Imus and Lieberman combo almost made me hurl.
I’m fixin’ to head out in a while – not much point in leaving too soon, only to sit in traffic. I’m anxious to get rolling, but I’ve only got about half a tank of gas, and I don’t want to rot in traffic worrying about running out. I also don’t wanna get gas here at over $3 a gallon, when I can get it in PA for about $2.70 or so. Oh well, I suppose I’d better get my stuff together and shove it in the trunk.
You guys better get busy – I wanna see at least 100 posts by the time I get home. And no fluff – I want all intelligent, insightful discussions.
Imus with Lieberman? Ugh, I don’t even want to know who sucked up to who. I can cry just thinking about it. Insightful discussions? We better get Fred back and Nicki, as well as Melina, Isi, Kevin, and several others. I promise to try, but i can’t do it myself.
Have a safe trip, PJ!
:bong:I’m lost in the clouds. Fluff is all I’ve got right now

The Adam’s apple, I mean. Although for all I know, maybe the other stuff too.

It must be comforting to Coulter to know that she will never have to experience the pain of losing a spouse or consoling a child, being the succubus that she is.
:fu::fu::fu:
OK, fluff from Travis is OK. The rest of you – well, just do the best you can.
Time to pack up the laptop. Pray to the traffic gods for me. Later sheeple.
Here’s some good news. This is a good pharmaceutical product. I know the real religious wingnuts are against this kind of thing, so even though it’s approved, we’re going to have to watch to see if they try anything to block distribution:
Merck’s cervical cancer vaccine wins US approval
Reuters
WASHINGTON – The first vaccine to prevent cervical cancer won U.S. approval on Thursday when health officials cleared a Merck & Co. Inc. shot to block a sexually transmitted infection that causes the deadly disease.
Public health experts called the Gardasil vaccine a major advance against a disease that kills about 300,000 women worldwide annually. Industry analysts said the product also should help revive the fortunes of struggling Merck with annual sales that could top $2 billion.
The vaccine blocks infection with certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes genital warts and most cervical cancer.
“This vaccine is a significant advance in the protection of women’s health in that it strikes at the infections that are the root cause of many cervical cancers,” acting Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach said.
Given in three doses over six months, Gardasil targets four HPV types believed to cause more than 70 percent of cervical cancer cases and 90 percent of genital warts. The vaccine was approved for use in girls and women ages 9 to 26, Merck said.
The catalog price for Gardasil will be $120 per dose, the company said.
The approval puts Merck ahead of GlaxoSmithKline Plc , which is developing its own HPV vaccine called Cervarix and plans to apply for U.S. clearance this year.
Most cervical cancer deaths occur in developing countries. In the United States, widespread screening catches the disease early when it is treatable, but about 4,000 women die from it each year.
Merck is counting on Gardasil to help revive earnings growth in the face of more than 11,500 lawsuits over its recall of arthritis drug Vioxx.
Jason Fox, an analyst with H&R Block Financial Advisors, said Merck still faces several challenges, such as expected generic competition later this month to its blockbuster cholesterol treatment Zocor, but Gardasil’s approval lends stability to the company’s situation.
“Our bigger picture view of Merck is they really need Gardasil,” Fox said. “This is their biggest pipeline opportunity in the next year.”
Shares of Whitehouse Station, New Jersey-based Merck gained about 5 cents to $34 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

We had a cooling tower malfunction so what was interpreted as an AC unit not quite making it yesterday pm was a system wide malfunction underway. The suits were all in there shirts and suspenders with their ties off this morning it was a site to behold.. The clean rooms are air conditioned by units on the roof so I spent the day down there. Now if I don’t catch pneumonia from all the temperature and humidity extremes … AAAAcho.. AAAAcho.. sniffle .. sniffle.:eek::rant1:

That last comment couldn’t have been so gross it shut down the blog :eek::roll::omg:
MR is at the KOS’s first yearly convention in Krista country.. It sounded like Krista wasn’t in Krista country however…. Did she know Marcos was coming ??:eek::roll:
That’s right, I heard about that Kos convention, in Las Vegas I think? Pretty amazing what a phenomenon that blog has become. This is a good thing for the liberal blogosphere, I think.
Yo everybody. Wow, slow day on the blog.
The mostly truthful left sided commentary is reaching a rather small number of people though. I was kind of amazed at the number of UJP people on Sunday that were just now beginning to know what an AAR was..I think DU has a membership of less than 100,000 , AAR’s blogs typically have only one to five bloggers per show. The “new” media has a long ways to go before it has a great impact but then only something like 6% of the colonists were actively involved in the revolutionary war.
Yeah the KOS convention is in Las Vegas, Krista is in Phoenix which is probably 600 miles away..?? My bad .. Krista was in New Mexico I believe when she last blogged with us.
Well, Daily Kos is popular because, among other reasons, it appeals to a very broad base of democrats and liberals, everything from centrists to those much more progressive. The “average” on Kos, though, is probably center or just left of center. There are “liberal” blogs that are actually more center than Kos (Josh Marshall and TPMCafe, for instance). Digby’s blog is really good and insightful and is quite popular, I think. I’ve seen some other relatively popular liberal blogs that were pretty good.
I’m not familiar with DU really…don’t know why the AA blogs get so little traffic – do you think the number who blog are in proportion to the number of people who listen to the broadcasts? And outsiders (who don’t listen to AAR) wouldn’t really know or care about these blogs, would they?
I know quite a few people that stream AAR while they are at work so it might be their IS dept lets them do that but their management would be unhappy if they were seen doing something other than working. I can blog in the early morning but after 7:00 am I have to look at least like I’m working and most of the time I’m off in the “shop” some place working on someones problem or setting up something.
Hartman has a lot of people who only listen to him. He has been on the air and streaming for about a year longer than AAR…He is on over my lunch time so I go into his chat room once or twice a week sometimes. There seem to be a group of maybe 15 people who are there most of the time and another 20 or 30 that come and go .
Got to go for tonight bog with ya all tomorrow
ummmmm yep so 50! wow almost all the way to a hundred! ok well im going to sleep must get a nap before i get over to the bronx gor the morning
Kevin Maas appeared as the heir apparent to Don Mattingly in the summer of 1990. He was recalled from Columbus in June and hit many home runs. He set a record for fewest games to reach ten home runs. He was helped by a three game series at Texas when he homered in each game of the series.
At the end of the 1990 season, Maas had hit 21 home runs in 79 games. The following season he was installed as the Yankees designated hitter. He would also spell Mattingly at first base on occasion.

Markey is supposed to introduce his amendment tomorrow. In DC, the bad guys were pounding the air with commercials. I dunno if it’s been like that elsewhere.
I don’t know what’s goin’ on, man. We almost never get any commercials like that in Alaska, ’cause the news does a pretty good job of spewing the prop..
I don’t usually watch commercials, but they had ads on every few minutes – especially on the morning news programs. They tried to spin it as big bad companies like google being against you having a choice for cable tv. But if anybody stops to think how much money it takes toair all those ads, they might realize who the big bad companies are.
I don’t even know who Mackey is. I was reading about a Rep. from Texas named Gonzales or something
Hey, the debate in contention is over the physical network and not the content, right? So, are the commercials blending the two to confuse people, or what? I’m confused enough as it is anyway.
Later. I need to go figure this stuff out, and stop bothering people with my lame questions.
Oh, I’m a retard. It’s Markey’s amendment.:doh: I didn’t mean to write like I was being condescending or anything thing. I don’t even know who Markey is. Sorry about that. I need to learn how to write better, too.:mad:Now I’m going insane:peace:
