So, I’m starting to wonder if this isn’t the beginning of the end, here. You know, Armageddon and all that stuff. I guess the bible never said the antichrist wasn’t going to be an intellectully incurious and immature weasel. And according to this, if you convert George Bush to Hebrew characters and add up their numerical values, it adds up to 666. Or something (interesting to note that the same website says “I would challenge anyone to find another powerful world leader, either now or in the past, whose name adds up to 666 in Hebrew.” I’m no expert (though I’m certain there’s somebody out there who thinks they are), but dummy’s old man comes to mind real quick like. Anyhow, antichrist or no antichrist, between what the US and Israel are up to, the Middle East is certainly ready explode (or explode more), and I don’t see much chance for anything good coming out of all this.
It would just be nice to know if this is it our not. I mean, I’d just as soon not watch the apocalypse from a dorm room in DC. Not by myself, anyway. And if it’s all up in 2012 (whether you believe in the Orion Prophecy, Saint Malechy’s Prohecy of the Popes, the Doctor Who Dalek episode, or the X-Files), well, there’s really no point in my farting around with all this nonsense, either. I mean, let me know for sure, and I’ll just start maxing out the old credit cards, you know? Just don’t screw me over when the time comes and let me live.
Anyhow, until I hear different, I reckon I better set about getting my shit together to go face another 90 degree day. Enjoy. And be careful out there – it is Thursday the 13th.
Farmerkat and Mr. Farmerkat,
:pent::om::knit::gate::banana::love::peace:
It IS pretty scary, PJ. I was watching the news coverage of this mess in Israel and thinking the same thing. Of course, we DO have a president who thinks he is God’s Own Anointed Instrument of the Apocalypse, which is probably why he is letting this play out and not doing a damn thing — not even making phone calls. His name didn’t show up once in the 15 minutes of coverage I saw.
This should make the Lamont/Lieberman race even more interesting.
Any more news from Marc last night? His site seems to be down.
So the Air America site seems to be down, including Marc’s, of course. Thanks to isi and webhubbletelescope for the updates on Marc’s show. It’s sad, and too bad, but I certainly don’t blame Marc. I hope we hear from Marc and Jim again soon.
The whole AAR site seems to be down. Did someone hack it?
So what are the updates?
Marc said they refused to syndicate The Marc Maron Show, and that they wanted him to come back to do the Morning Show. They wouldn’t come up with the money he needed to totally disrupt his life again, so he and AAR are parting ways. He hopes to find a place for the show in the coming months, and has a Comedy Central special to get ready for, and is in discussions with HBO to perhaps do something.
So the story is that at the very last second they want Maron to uproot himself and come back to NY to do the morning show, but they don’t want to pay for it, after they cancelled it in the first place just as Howard Stern was shipping off of free radio. With everybody with an IQ over 57 screaming “Don’t cancel it!”
So, exactly how fucking stupid do you have to be to run a radio network?
I got it: all Satellite Sisters, all the time!
I just know that’ll kill in NY!
Why not just bring in Brownie to run AAR and get it over with.
Let’s see if I have this straight.
1) Marc AGREES to come back to NY and do mornings AFTER the morons at AAR fuck him over royally. TWICE.
2) He, understandably, would like to be compensated for his pain, suffering and mental duress.
3) The aforesaid morons at AAR, sitting on their dollar bills so hard that George Washington’s eyes are watering, fuck him over A THIRD TIME!!!
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE???
And now the site is down. It only seems fitting. In fact, I may have to rethink this no-god thing.
OK, not really. :rofl2:
But still.
Democratic Party, please take notice. This is how NOT to win elections.
:fu::fu::fu:
Yeah, as Marc said, Danny Goldberg destroyed AAR, and they are still trying to recover from it. The thing that really confuses me (and Marc, apparently) is why the hell they didn’t syndicate TMMS. He turned down coming back to do the morning show a couple of times, and wanted TMMS syndicated – as per the contract he signed – but they wouldn’t do it. That one, I really don’t get.
WHAT? They wanted him to pay for his own move again? crap-and-double-crap. …by morning show – did they mean MS resurrection? Man, if we’d known, maybe we could have taken up a collection to get him there. (I realize the issue being he’d have to work for cheap creeps, but a Marc morning show?) Oh, I so hoped this decision would not have been made…
woke up to npr saying israel bombed the Beruit airport…these people are freakng NUTS. Has the US not spoken up at all about this? Has any country? You’re right, pj, the end times may by near.
thanks all for kind thoughts and RAGING G – hope that basement dries out quickly for you.
This just shows how well the new morning line up is doing they should of come up with the money what are they thinking asshats :!::fustrate: :fire:
They already have that Harrison guy in the 10-1 time slot on KTLK starting Monday. Do you think KTLK wanted to cancel Marc?
I’m beginning to wonder how much longer AAR has left. I kinda think they really don’t have any cash. I’ll bet the Goldberg buyout cost them plenty, and all the suits he brought in that never did anything. Damn shame they didn’t just kick his ass out before he killed MS.
Last night they had a LA Town Hall show in Sam Seder’s spot. At least in the last half hour when I tuned in. It didn’t sound like it was a regular show, though.
yep.
heard a bit of stepanie miller and they had an Angus clone – copycat creeps.
The AAR board members are spineless like our democrats in Washington! :billcat:
I’m really gonna miss hearing Marc (and Jim) on a regular basis. I sure hope they can get on the radio somewhere. I wonder if we can start pestering XM or Sirius? I have both sets of equipment, and will restart a subscription with whoever has the Marc Maron Show.
will drobny’s new company actually create shows for radio or buy existing shows?
I think Sheldon Drobny is just buy stations and putting on AAR programing and trying to get investers.
From what their website says, they plan to buy stations in medium/small markets and broadcast progressive content, buit I don’t see where they intend to produce the content.
Nova M Radio is here. Just a one page thing (phone number for anyone who wants to invest).
Stephanie Miller Show is playing the dumbing down of media to the max I’v tuned in and it’s hard to tell if it’s a best of they repeat jokes over and over !!!:doh:
PJ, I think you’re right. I think it cost them a bundle to dump Danny Goldberg — so much that they may never be able to recover.
As much as I hate, hate, hate the idea that we could have had Marc back on in the mornings and now we won’t, I support his decision 1000%. He moves to NY after getting married to do this show, and we all know from Left of the Dial how stressful those early days were. He grows by leaps and bounds as a radio personality, and NO ONE ON THE BOARD TRIES TO STOP DANNY GOLDBERG from dismantling the best radio show in years. So he goes back to LA, and they give him a few pennies do do another show. Jim also uproots and goes back to LA. These two guys put their hearts and souls into the new show, and while I don’t think it’s got the “magic” that MS had, it’s still a pretty damn good show.
Now they want him to uproot YET AGAIN, and go cross-country YET AGAIN, and they won’t fucking pay for his move? Or make it worth his while to try to handle a bicoastal marriage? WHEN HE WAS WILLING TO DO IT ANYWAY IF THEY’D ONLY FUCKING PAY HIM????
What the hell kind of idiots are these people?
:fustrate::fustrate::fustrate::fustrate::fustrate::growl::growl::growl::smack::smack:
A blogger last night, can’t remember the name right now, linked to Marc’s replacement. Interesting that he will have one additional hour, cutting another hour from Mike Malloy.
From what Marc said (I listened to the first few minutes to hear what was going on) last night, they wanted him to come back, and he said, “here’s how much I need,” and they said “can’t do it,” so he said “OK, can we syndicate the show now?” That went on for a few times, and then he said, “OK, how about you pay me what you’re offering, as long as you pay off my existing contract,” and they said “oh, no, we can’t do both. We just want you to move back for what we’re already paying you.” And he said “no thanks.” So, they have to pay off the rest of his contract anyway, and yet the show is cancelled, and they never fucking even bothered to syndicate it. I just don’t get that, I mean, WTF?
Yeah, Harrison guest hosted the show that one time. Seems like a nice enough fella. Openly gay son of a neo-nazi. Must have been an interesting way to grow up.
Yeah, Marc has been expunged from the KTLK site already. Nice.
PJ, what are the odds that KTLK didn’t want the show anymore?
Gee, I dunno. Maybe they never really wanted it, and AAR shoved it down their throats. It really hadn’t been on long enough to tell how it was doing, I don’t think. Maybe one book came out. But maybe they were getting it w/o having to pay, too (AAR was picking up all the production costs). If that was the case, then they’d probably have been happy to have it. But, unlike AAR, they probably have somebody who knows how to run a radio station, so once the decision was made to kill the show, they got their shit together and got the replacement worked out.
Hell, AAR can’t even keep their website up.
I had a feeling that this was the end of Marc’s association with AAR. This totally sucks.
wow…thats really horrible. I feel like crying.
Ill have to listen.
I had the feeling that it was gonna come down to money.
They cant expect Marc to live in nyc on nothing…they certainly cant pay him less than Seder…and, moving costs aside, Goldberg is drawing his salary for somehting like 2 more years…thats around $800,000 or was it $400,000?…whatever, I thought that if a rich guy like Goldberg really believed in the cause and all the crap he spouted at the time, he would not take the money out and just convert it to stock.
I have a feeling that AAR cant really afford to pay anyone…but how hard would it be for Soros or streisand or any one of those activists to throw a mil or two a year into this thing?
I suppose its hard to get that when you have such BAD MANAGMENT….FUCK!
Morning Evening :yinyang:
Marc laid it all out in the first 20 min of the show. Also, Friday will be LIVE!
:fire:
Sad news in Funnyville. I need to headbutt someone.
Don’t be hatin’ as I skulk back to this great blog.
:fustrate: I read all of the posts, but I still don’t get it. (Or maybe I do, and am in deep denial.)
Ten lurkers; none of them are blogging. I know, lurkers do not blog.
Hey, I’m reading, not lurking.
lurking here :omg:
Hey, where’s Fred? He’s usually up way before I am.
Re:131. Makes a lot of sense to me. And I am pissed!:growl:
Down to 5 lurkers. I wonder if DG cruised in. No, he is laughing all of the way to the bank.
Are you getting that bed ready? That kingsize bed?
sometimes we spy on people and like to hear when we’re talked about :peace:
Just sitting in the eye of a typhoon.
:ear:
Back to 10!:omg:
I’m sure DG would only pity us, for not having teen spirit.
Reading and lurking
I’m going to get special sheets…
I didn’t talk about you (yet). Oh yeah: Is that kingsize ready?
Hey, stay safe, KK.
Why did they kill Morning Sedition, and then turn around and ask Maron to come to NYC to do the morning show?
Well, Marc has to do what he has to do. Its just embarassing that they are gonna let one of their best talents go over a money issue.
Of course, we dont know what Marc’s agent asked for, but I expect that it couuldnt be more than, say, what Al gets or whatever….
Hell, they could always give him stock so he would have an ownership stake!…But nothing is worth being treated like this. he is too good for this. And I expect that he will get a cable show or an XM show…
I hope he continues on radio because hes really good at it.
In the meantime, if AAR loses Sam, then thats pretty much it for me.
Just out of curiosity, I wonder what AAR’s version of resurrecting the mornign show was….
and I really wonder what theyre gonna do now….
But I do think that they gotta get rid of Riley in that slot and put him on sunday morning or something.
Oh, I see we had a visitor from Air America this morning.
kingsize for the kingsized :omg:
:hubba:
Hey Webhubble…welcome back!….everyone should feel welcomed to come back here. we’ve got everything over here!! Politics, tech, a love story blosssoming, a correspondent in the war zone (though maybe out safely by now?), NY Times select, birds, animals, children, government lurkers, ….and great emoticons!!
Come on back Maronistas….we’ll wait here together for the next thing….and/or at least until he gets something going on his web site…
I fell asleep at computer while working and listening to most of Rachel. 🙁 Rats (which I have to feed while slowly “shutting” down home). :yawn::yawn::yawn:
PJ— The windows are taped. Plenty of water, food, and batteries. (The wine cellar’s a little light.) It should be OK.
:fire:
AAR visited?
Just what is DG’s role in AAR now? Does anybody have the rundown of why he is no longer CEO? (I know, he fucked up. But the board had his back.)
Marc said he wasn’t being greedy, buyt just wanted to be compensated along the lines of what a show business personality should get. Plus, it would have to be worth his while to once again disrupt his life, and go with a company that has twice “publicly” screwed him over. Not to mention a company that really looks to be on the ropes, and failed to live up to his previous contract (originally, for a one-hour syndicated show and 2 hours per week of material for the morning show that they had just fired him from). They blew off the material, and went with a two-hour show and they never syndicated it. So, why, really, would he even go back to that toxic atmosphere, unless it was for the right deal?
It’s a damn shame, but hopefully it’s the beginning of a better, healthier, progressive radio newtork that doesn’t start out with one foot in the grave, and then hire a funeral director to bury it completely.
I’m still in shock re: this Marc thing. I don’t know what to say. Those bastards. Who said that this is the end of AA radio? It feels like it. But maybe I shouldn’t say that.
Speaking of the old days, where is Speedracer?
good- I hope that every word is burned into their consciousness….
AAR are fools if they dont give marc the money he needs to live and a budget to work with….
Fools!!
Susan, maybe AAR wiil die.
But it will be replaced. The desire for it’s original ideals DOES exist. So something to fill will be.
What is with the rumour[?] that SEDER is leaving AAR?
DG is/was an investor and has a deal for a salary that goes on for a couple of more years. They seem to have agreed that he would work out of his house basically doing nothing and collect his salary till the initial contract is up.
He did put money in though….as far as I understood….some might say, he bought his way in.
I think they basically bought out DG with a title and a “no show” job. I assume he came in with some investment money, a fair amount of “cred” from being in the music industry (like being a music industry exec qualifies you to be anything but a snake), and whole lot of bullshit. Who knows what it would have cost them to toss him out? I dunno what sort of deal he had, but based on the seeming naivete of a lot of the people involved, and based on DG being a scumbag, I bet he made a lot of promises that weren’t on paper, and got a lot guarantees for himself, that were.
Hey. We still have Jones and Ed Schlitz.
It was posted on their board…and no one has said anything since…
he has a TV show in development…hell, if his career is taking off, why would he stay?
I know. There is a real need and desire for progressive talk radio and I do believe that there will be just that, with or without AAR. I’m just upset: Marc, hearing this stuff about Sam Seder leaving, WLIB going down, Mike Malloy is gone…it’s just a lot to take all at once. What am I going to stream? Well, we’ll all go through withrdrawal together. Ok, there will still be some shows on AAR, maybe I’m carrying on too much
Marc LIVE Friday is something to look forward to. :alc: I hope we can all be ‘there’.
DG does have good cred with the progressive Jewish (and others) community. Michael Lerner (and Tikkun) are {were] his friends. Hey. isn’t Steve Earle his friend, too? What hip friends.
I think that its really bad form of DG to accept salary instead of something like points against future profits if there are ever any.
They could really use that cash that theyre paying him.
I’ll stay up Friday for the show
Janeane will be on the show Friday. There are a lot of good progressive talk show hostts. One thing that AAR seems to be doing right is giving exposure to several of them. One thought is even if Sam and Janeane bail, that other people of quality will step in.
So. We are saying that DG is sucking liquid revenue from AAR. Fucking vampyre.
what’s this about Sam Seder?
well, Imus is his friend too…and his wife, rosemary carroll has screwed up some stuff for people I know..to the point where she hasnt been paid and didnt even bother suing because she knew she has screwed up. Now she is Imus’ lawyer….they are just toxic and horrible.
Oh, and Imus had on Lieberman this AM…who is such a liar and now is goign on about all the things that the Bushies did wrong…but how can he distance himself now?
I have to go and do Dr appts for Will…
Boy I wish I had time to write today…but will try to get something up later on.
Twelve lurkers!:omg:
I’d rather talk about that soft bed that awaits me.
I’ve never quite understood why, when you have more money than god to begin with, you need more. Assuming DG isn’t hurting for money, and knowing that AAR doesn’t want him (even if he somehow thinks that he was doing a brilliant fucking job), why not just resign, say “thanks for the memories,” and not suck any more money out of a company that you supposedly give a shit about?
Maybe I should create a makeout room page.
It’s the death card in the tarot deck…but that card just means something has to die to make way for something better. So let’s just wait and watch, I guess.
Re:79. Absolutely! What a selfish prick. “Revolution starts now.”:omg:
So I will have to die for you to have something better! :omg:
:jesus:Out….:nixon:
don’t you get it? You are the something better AFTER the death card! I’ve been going through the death card for the past four or five years! :pent:
Have any AAR insiders talked about the DG disaster? (Or perhaps we are the disaster.)
PJ-I think that part of the fun is that theyre doing it in public….not that IM so sure I want to witness it, really…but it does add a dimension of soap opera to things.
Maybe we’ll have a wedding and we can bring in Marc and Jim to be the band
Seder…its nothing…but someone said something on one blog to another….he has stuff in development, but who knows?
They weould be abaolute fools to lose him…I doubt they will.
We’ll wait and see…:jason:
Who is talking about me like I am not here?
sometimes I’m not sure who I’llmiss more, Marc or Sam Seder…Sam has really been growing on me in the past few months. Well I’ll Miss Marc more, but just marginally…
hope to find out more as this thing goes on…maybe Marc will write about it. he also said that hes gonna write another book.
Who is a witness? Witness to what?
…oh just me, Nicki, the person who you always pretend isnt here….:D
Who wants to sing at my soap opera? Hey, Diva!
Who’s talking to me? I’m not sure who I am. Personality crisis…:omg:
I’m going to buy a bottle of wine for Friday night. I want to be semi drunk when I hear the Marc show
:rofl2::priest:
I’m going to buy another bottle of wine for just me and Nicki
Who herad that Sam was leaving?
I’m listening to video now looking for stills. I don’t have enough pictures of him for reference for my art, at least not where the light isn’t shining in his face to the point where it obscures his features. I need one more good picture of him looking surpised or something close to surprise
King Herod did.
You are talking about Jandek.
of course
I think that aside from Marc, Sam Seder is the one person on AAR who has grown the most as a radio personality. I think he’s terrific, and if he left too, I would seriously have to consider if I would get XM once WLIB kicks AAR out. I like Rachel’s show (largely because of Kent Jones), and I’m alone here, I think, in that I like Randi too, but I’m just not sure there’s enough there to warrant the expense.
And now you can’t even get the Morning Sedition podcasts anymore. I downloaded as many as I could before Bob took them down at Air America Place, but I don’t have them all.
AAR doesn’t need Bill O’Reilly or any of the other anti-AAR folks to destroy it, it’s doing a mighty find job of committing suicide all by itself.
I am going to bed now.
ok, I’ll catch you after I get back from work
Wait a minute, when did Seder say he was leaving?
Hey guys and gals. I just joined – I was usually on the AAR TMMS blog, but looks like I need to indroduce myself here.
I was a late adopter to MS, and fell in love with the show quickly. I couldn’t wait until TMMS started and now its all over again.
I’ll be hanging out with you guys waiting to see what’s gonna happen next.
Walt in NJ
Timefor thenight market bye
Yo Walt, welcome
The AAR site is still down they tried to taking Marc’s show off the list and karma hit them :omg::billcat::sammy: :bong:
Hey Brill, get the old MS shows (those that are archived, anyway) while you can, here. Dunno how long they’ll last at that address.
Hey welcome. The more Marc fans the better. It pays for us to stick together. Where is Fred, by the way? It feels weird not to have him blog in the AM…
Hey Walt :peace:
Does anyone out there know for sure that Seder is leaving? C’mon I’m dyin’ here!
Seder has said on the show that he might not be doing the show much longer I think that where its coming from:!: I’m not a big fan of the show.
Hi Walt, nice to see ya.
Andy, as far as I know, the Seder thing is just speculation, based on a TV pilot in the works, and a comment he made on his show that he “may need to look for other work” or something to that effect. And of course, the whole Janeane thing, whatever’s up with that.
That’s a real shame. I like MR. Crap if that show goes, there’s nothing left!
Hah. I was trying to figure out who Mister Crap was for a while there.
:rofl2:
Mr crap is on the internets right next to Jim Earl and His Big Page of Crap:banana:
Now they’re running a promo for franken that end’s with him saying “I bring the funny”:omg::spank:
:fu::fu: unfunny deadair franken:jason:
:fu::fu: stupid fucking aar:fist::jason:
Marc was the one who brought the funny:rofl2::rofl2:
Does anyone know about a movie that Seder directed with Marc in it?
Oh darn it, instead of a radio show that i have to pay for and stream on my work computer the next morning, Ill be forced to watch Maron on Comedy Central and possibly HBO? Death where is thy sting?
To hell with AAR and good riddance.
Like being married to Ann Coulter and having her leave you.
Or in the immortal words of Redd Foxx:
Men, always marry an ugly woman. Then when she leaves you, you’ll be happy.
AAR, I hope you never get well. :sammy:
Art, Franken actually said “the funny”?
I won’t miss AAR all that much when it’s gone. After Morning Sedition was canned, I don’t find much of it very compelling, and I find that I’m hearing stories I already read in the lefty blogosphere.
Was inspired to listen to an old MS recording from the link above (April 12, 2004). WOW, did that show grow into something good.
And Sue Ellicott was a bitch.
hey- as much as I hate Amazon- I was linked there from Marc’s site last night and I supposedly have a copy of jeruselem Syndrome shipping on monday for 4.99.
I will let you know if it arrives…:knit:
Marc was in Who’s the Caboose, directed by Sammy (Seder, not :sammy:)
Yeah, he actually said ‘the funny’.
No-class al is dancing on marcs grave because he invented a charector for SNL 25 years ago that was mildly successful. Jim Earl can pull funnier charecters out of his ass. Did you hear Jim talk about his ass last night?:rofl2::rofl2:
Hi MS Gang,
I usually post on TMMS blog, but AAR is still down this morning. I haven’t been able to listen to the podcast, but I see by the comments on this blog that AAR has tried to screw Marc over yet again. While I would have loved to have Marc on the Morning Show, I can understand his decision, especially since they wanted him to move back to NY again. I hope this blog stays up after the show is over so the Maronistas and the Seditionists can stick together.
🙁
Good Morning Seditionistas and Maronites :joe:
What a drag about the show. It didn’t sound like a very good deal, I can’t blame him for not taking it. Right now I have so much hate for Danny Goldfucker :fu: I hope he’s fuckin’ happy with his salary that’s starving one of the only hopes we have to take this country back. If I saw him on the street right now, I would spit in his face.
Hey- all the podcasts from “AAR Premium” are not downloading…
Cnickthomas has part 1 of the show up.
Is it out on DVD? Have you seen it? I just watched the stalker film with marc last week. He could be this generations Woody Allen but more dangerous:jason::rofl2::bow:
BTW, if you haven’t watched the short “Stalker Guilt Syndrome” starring Marc, you might enjoy it.
pj- Has marc ever shown you any love directly or indirectly for keep up this website? It’s been a lifeline for all of us
:love::love:man
Marc blogged a little last night too.
Damn! I wish I could read last night’s TMMS blog. I wonder why AAR has been down for hours?:?::fustrate:
Why waste good spit? I got to see Goldberg fuck up in the music biz and figured he would do the same at AAR but never imagined the level it would reach, especially vis-a-vis Marc and Morning Sedition.
I wish I could see the other blog or hear the show but I guess I am paying money to get shut out.
I can’t wait to get the Friday show downloaded so I can dump premium. I have yet to get a response from their “help” mail about anything like older shows or the missing part of Monday night.
I’m going to cancel my premium subscription too at the end of the week. I have XM so I can listen to any other AAR stuff I feel like with that. I joined premium just for Marc and I want my money back if he’s not on the air.
:billcat:
Yeah, actually Marc has said thanks. I think he really appreciates all of us – this crap with AAR has been going on behind the scenes for so long (first with DG and MS, and now with all of this MS stuff), and has been so stressful for him (imagine, having to deal with an unsettled situation for so damn long – basically, since back around late October 2005), that I think he really appreciates knowing that there are people out there who “get” him and what he’s trying to do. He’s smart and talented enough that he could have taken the easy path in comedy and been one of these “famous” hacks, but he chose to go a different route. It must be frustrating (galling, even) to see some of these no-talent jerks get TV series and movies and high-paying gigs, while somebody with intelligence and integrity gets fucking stepped on by shitheads like DG.
I think knowing that there are actually people out there who appreciate him helps. At least, I hope it does.
Gonna really miss hearing the bastid evey day.
Fine comedy like jazz is an botique artform. Marc is and always been a jazz artist riffing into the night.
In the interim, I suggest Bartcop.com radio show. Bart’s got a lot of funny for a knuckle-dragger from oklahoma. It’s about the same price and never more than twoshows a week.He’s a pretty funny guy for an IQ of 67. Try some Chinaco Anejo along with it- it does down pretty smooth.:40:
Pj !
So glad you have heard a thanks from Marc somehow.
It has been a long time since I thanked you:spank:
PJ:bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::banana::banana:
Very funny, artnorton. I just decided to go to Trader Joe’s and get some cheap hooch and try to find last night’s show. Anyone have any links like crick?
I threw up a little when I heard Al talk about the funny yesterday. When we first got AAR I was a big Al fan but he is pretty lame without Lampher.
Marc was a big eye opener for me. What a genius! Same with Jim.
I guess next week I am going to have to find a job.
Wow! Franken brings, “The Funny?”
:jerk:
Oh, right…good enough…smart enough and gosh darn it, his landlord thinks he’s funny.
:fire:
Firetruck….has anyone had any luck with AAR’s website
ok having trouble posting over here but managed to post the link on yesterday’s blog- link to cnick podcast of last night’s show.
go to upper right hand corner and click on the link- I am late late late…:fustrate:
Has anyone tried to call AAR and find out what’s up with the site today? I’ve been trying to get to the podcast and Maron’s blog for over 3 hours. Does anyone have a phone # for AAR?
Hey, sheeple! I can only stop by for a moment because I’m at work and have to watch what I get caught doing. But I just wanted to make sure I was still welcome back here. (I suggested Marc set up his website again and then link to this for a blog, and that HAS to count for something, doesn’t it?)
The AAR site appears to be down. Whether this is related to Marc’s imminent departure or what I don’t know. But I’m getting paranoid.
I’ll check back here at lunch time if I can. I’ll even post a recipe. I HAVE missed you guys but I wanted to keep the stream going at night and my job in the day…
Hey gypsy!
You need to catch up with me now!
Sorry I missed you in PDX 2weeks ago.
I will possibly be around PDX friday but kinda want to be home for the last show
Hey Motowngirl, contact info for AAR is on the right under Pages.
:doh: Thanks KP – it’s obvious I’m new to this blog, huh?
Good Morning Sheeple:
It’s been some time since I last blogged here. I’ve been reading the posts regularly and I’m glad to see the Seditionist community is thriving. Thanks PJ for the site! Hopefully Marc and Jim’s next venture has more longevity.
For selfish reasons, I wish Marc would have taken the new gig. Speaking truth to power does not pay well. You would think he would know this going in.
Yeah, I wished he would have taken it too, but I don’t think I would have either. I pitched a weekend show to KPHX here in Phoenix and Marc could probably have one although, they wouldn’t be able to do much for him financially. They like Marcs’ show and have been waiting for it to syndicate. It wouldn’t seem to be too inconvenient to fly here to do a show once a week and it would keep him on the airwaves in a minimal fashion but I don’t know what it takes to do TMMS as it is. In any case, whatever Marc does, KPHX would likely take it.
Hey all you li’l Portland Seditionists. DeVotchka will be playing at Berbatis Pan on August 11. This band is so awesome live(and recorded) so check them out. Also, they are doing some dates in the midwest with The Flaming Lips, a dream show fer sure!
I called AAR and they told me their server is down until probably tomorrow. The guy was a complete idiot.
They are playing at The Ogden Theater tomorrow night Fred.
So everyone is going to have to blog over here tonight. I wish we could get hold of Marc so that he can record the show today with the MS blog address. I guess a lot of people will figure it out.
Down until tomorrow? Holy shit. What, the squirrel died?
Since Marc won’t be able to get to his blog either, maybe he’ll come over here? I can always hope.
I always wanted to see Schicky Gnarowitz open for DeVotchka too.
It’s Over !!
Just went to KTLK’s site and TMMS is “expunged” – no evidence left. Harrison on the Edge is set for 10 pm to 1 am weekdays. There’ll be no show tonight nor a Friday final show – it’s finished.
Sad……
Man! They sure were eager to get Marc off the website. Usually that’s the change that gets dealt with last.
How do you know there won’t be shows tonight and tomorrow – simply because KTLK has already updated its website? Or did you get some additional info from somewhere?
The shows will go on tonight and tomorrow as far as I know.
Hmmm… ya think? Hope you’re right but it sure looks pretty final to me.
OK, well, looks like things are about to get even worse.
Even though I am an infrequent blogger, I’m a HUGE Maron fan. Therefore, I could not stand it another minutes, so I just wrote this to WTLK:
WTLK, like WLIB in NY is sorry, punk-ass station – first it was Goldberg (that clueless, whiny bitch) axing Marc, now you. It was almost like you wanted the show to fail, putting him on in the middle of the night, no syndication, no advertising. Why in the world doesn’t left-wing radio know when it has a winner? You don’t recognize talent when it stares right in your faces. What a bunch of assholes!
Hey fellow seditionists! So it appears Air America has shut Marc down and his blog. Thanks to PJ we all have a place to go. I have uploaded the first hour of last nights Marc Maron Show to my web site. I have limited bandwidth available. Apple’s Dot Mac policy is to cut off a site for the remander of the month if that bandwidth limit is exceeded. So I’m going to give you the address to my page. But I ask that you only go there if you cannot listen to the show any other way. The site address is:
http://web.mac.com/ofmen/iWeb/Site/Podcast/Podcast.html
Please let me know if you experience any problems accessing my site. ALSO, please keep me informed on WTF is going on with Marc and Jim. I guess we should have anticipated Air America’s reaction to Marc’s statement on last nights show. I will be adding the final hour of last nights show later this evening.
Is there any way to simply download the file from your site rather than running it from an HTML page?
Nice to see ya again, cnick. AAR’s entire site is down, not just Marc. Hopefully, we’ll still get the last two Marc Maron Shows we’ve been promised.
If you subscribe to the podcast it will automatically download into your machine. I think you can limit the downloads to the last show only. BE WARNED, my personal podcasts are explicit and deal with my sexuality. If you’re a homophobe you may not wish to listen to them. 😉
Maybe the Israelis bombed AAR?
Future Marc (not *yet* reality-based):
COOKBOOK SALES LAUNCH NEW PROGRESSIVE RADIO NETWORK
Sunday, August 13, 2006; Posted: 12:41 p.m. EDT (16:41 GMT)
NY,NY (AP) – Sales of a cookbook inspired by a progressive radio talk show have fueled the creation of the “Fare America Radio” a network dedicated to feeding the progressive majority a diet of news, comfort food and humor.
“It’s one-stop shopping for those hoping to feed their intellects and physiques and looking for a fun place to socialize with people of similar tastes,” said CEO
Gypsy.
Offering a line up of popular shows such as “Morning
Maronade” with Marc Maron, “Earl-y Mornings” with Jim
Earl and the entertaining weekend show, “Cat Talk,” FAR
has gained a footing in 90 markets nationwide in an
astonishing period of only one month. Sales of the
component ingredients of recipes made popular by the
cookbook have risen just as quickly.
“The Angostura Bitters company tells us that their
sales have been off the charts since the cookbook
was released,” reported board member Old Zeb. “We’re hearing that sweet and sour tofu dishes are also
selling like hotcakes since our radio shows created an
appetite for food along with fact and funny.”
What began as a charity fundraising vehicle quickly generated enough revenue to fund the radio network as well as rebuilding projects in New Orleans.
“Just as Mom never sent us out to play on a cold day without a stick-to-your-ribs kind of breakfast, we feel FAR is building a radio network on a solid foundation of tasty recipes,”
said a listener in the midwest.
Inquiries about the use of meat in cookbook recipes were not answered. Jim Earl, whose cell phone was reportedly not recharged, was unavailable for comment.
Thanks for the WB PJ. Maybe I’m a pessimist but I figure KTLK and AAR will not be offering the final two shows. I hope I’m wrong.
Can’t Marc still receive email at marc@marcmaron.com even though the website is down? He could send out an email to his fan base to tell them to blog tonight on this blog. And, he could post his blog entry for tonights show on this blog, too.
Probably, though it all depends on just what’s down, and how things are set up.
Does anyone else besides cnick have a link to last night’s stream? Since the podcast is unavailable, we may easily blow his monthly bandwidth limit if we all download from his site. We wouldn’t want to do that to a fellow Maronista, would we?
Don’t worry about it Motowngirl. But thank you for the concern. If someone wants the show and cannot get it any other way then by all means go to my site and download the show. But if there are others on here that can offer up the show it would help.
I just wrote to Marc at marc@marcmaron.com and asked him to come on over here and let us know what’s going on. Hopefully he will.
Crap!!!! I was at home sick for two days and therefore computerless. So I was looking forward to reading good news about Marc and Jim this morning. You know, the news that was going to “thrill” us all. I guess this really is The End. It sounds like there is no hope at all for a last-minute solution of the “thrill” variety.:rant1::rant1::fu::growl:
I’m glad Marc spoke forthrightly last night. (And maybe he will email us, too.) He certainly has been treated abominably by AAR. And the fact that they wanted him back on in the morning seems pretty close to an admission on AAR’S part that the change in the morning lineup was a huge mistake. I can certainly understand his decision, though for selfish reasons I wish he had chosen otherwise.
I’m sure it is no accident or coincidence that the AAR site and the KTLK site and Marc’s site are all inaccessible today. And AAR not up until tomorrow. Technical difficulties? Yeah, right. What :jerk:s. They are so transparent.
When AAR started, I had high hopes for it. Now I hope it gets the failure it richly deserves and gets replaced by something with integrity and balls. There’s almost nothing remaining that is worth listening to. I’ve given up on the morning shows, Springer is a snoozefest, Franken is all about Franken’s overwhelming love for Franken. I listen to Randi when I can and sometimes to Majority Report. Satellite Sisters is a joke. The weekend lineup is also a joke except for the RR and MR reruns, Ring of Fire, and State of Belief. Only one hour of Molloy on Saturday night. Does liberal radio need a cooking show? But not Maron and Earl?:barf: Whose really running the show, Rove?:tinfoil:
We must hope that Marc and Jim get something much better, and soon. But not on satellite radio, please. My apartment doesn’t have a window facing in the right direction to pick up the signal.
PJ, many thanks for this site.:bow::bow::bow::bow:
Hang tough, :sheep:le.
Marc and Jim, we love you!:love: Come back to us soon.
First, thanks to sbluefox and cnick for directions to the link. I am listening now foregoing some Franken. god, I love this show. I am really going to miss it.
Thanks, pj. for the venue. I imagine a lot of folks like me will be hanging out here in the future. I have been getting into the other blog of late and hope people will find their way over here as a few already have this AM.
This thing sounds over. I do not understand why Marc and Jim could not take the Springer slot and do a West Coast based morning show. Franken works from Minny, Malloy from Atlanta, Schultz from his house, and I would not bet against Randi originating from FL in the future. New York is not the center of the universe anymore although a lot of NYers have there head firmly embedded in their ani in that regard. Air America should have a national footprint. Besides, there is a completely different guest pool in LA every bit as compelling as the NYC fare.
So what now? Maybe Marc and Jim find a new home, hopefully on free over the air radio and not pay or cable. Some smart folks would see that it happens. If not, maybe they can do something like Harry Shearer does on LeShow. He has his regular careers but for no pay (I think) he puts together a one hour show originating from KCRW in Santa Monica but he often tapes the show in New Orleans and this week it will be coming from London. I have been enjoying it for over 20 years. Good music and the “funny”. If I could only get an hour a week, it still would be better than nothing.
Well, the first hour is done. Thanks cnick. I guess I will check out the pictures until the rest shows up…
Cut ‘n’ run…
I haven’t blogged on here for a long time. Here’s my email to pussy Sinton and his response :fu:
—–
Jon:
I woke up this morning to here that Maron is gone from AAR, and I don’t blame him for all the jerking around AAR has done to him and all the fans.
How exactly does the network plan to reimburse me for my premium subscription to the Maron show?
I have lost faith in the entire network. Your programming has become rediculous – the Satellite Sisters instead of Molloy in NYC? Why not just broadcast “The View”? Springer is a joke. You destroyed Morning Sedition – the most creative and entertaining program you had.
I hope they pay you well enough to hide your conscience. AAR – a great idea mismanaged from the start.
AND HIS RESPONSE:
Steve,
I’m sorry we’ve disappointed you. As to conscience, mine is fine, thanks. While I too am frustrated that things sometimes don’t work out as we might hope, I think the offer to bring Marc back to NY was a good one, and I understand his desire to stay in LA. I hope you’ll check us out as we unveil some new programming for the Fall.
Meanwhile, I will refer your refund request to the business dept.
Regards,
Jon Sinton

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Anyway, I was driving to work listening to XM’s comedy channel, and around 8:50, a Maron monologue was broadcast :bow:. I am so fucking pissed about AAR. They will never succeed.:smack:
Air America Place has a link to last nights show here:
http://www.airamericaplace.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=16777
Just checked the link. The entire show can be heard from this link
Re #180: I was thinking of Marc and Jim for the Springer time slot, too. But even better would have been the evening slot now occupied by the Silly Sisters. Waking up with Marc and Jim was great, but curling up with them at night would have been delightful.:love:
New programming for the Fall? Oh puh-leeze! The only new programming that would be worth listening to–apart from Marc and Jim–would be a new incarnation of Richard Bey’s Saturday show. For those of you who don’t know the story, RB was sacked abruptly in April 2003 by 770WABC for refusing to be silent about his opposition to the war in Iraq. (770’s real call letters should be WRNC. Or maybe WROVE.) And by the way, AAR management was not interested in RB because he was not sufficiently “left” for them. Like the Silly Sisters are!? And that stupid food show!? (Don’t get me wrong. I’m a foodie. I just don’t think that a food show is relavent to the goals of liberal radio.) I’m gonna be sick.:yuck::barf:
RE #182 – Thanks cnick! You’re a lifesaver!
Speaking of Sam Seder earlier and his career outside radio, his wife, Nicole Cattell is a filmmaker and he was co-producer of this film.
Gee, wouldn’t it have been nice if, when I talked to the guy at AAR earlier, he had directed me to AirAmericaPlace when I asked “is there any other way to access the podcasts?” But he said “NO” – literally a one word answer. Guess it would have been too much trouble to be customer-focused. No wonder AAR’s going down the tubes.
:billcat:
Nicole Cattell ,Sam’s wife (scroll down a bit)
Mmmmmm, sweet and sour tofu, aghlglggllalal….
(Another prodigal blogger returns._
Colette, I love you! You made me not only laugh out loud but snort. I still think Marc should get a food related TV show. Maybe a segment on Amy Goodman’s show? LOL!
Krista, are you here? Do you still have Jim’s email address? If you do, would you consider this a good reason to break down and email the man?
I tried emailing Jonathan Larsen, for a couple of things (I am really caught up in what looks like the beginning of a novel and I wondered if he would be writing more) but I haven’t heard back, even though I doubt he has access to any information about this.
Oy! Listening to the news out of Israel and the rest of the region has me so nervous.
Hey Zeb, did you hear Jim and everyone in the studio give you kudos for your joke submission? Marc went on and on about Ol Zeb being from New Orleans. 😀
Hey there Zeb. This is starting to feel like a wake, where you’re happy to see – as the Lyle Lovett song goes – all those people you haven’t seen since the last time somebody died.
I just wish this was under happier circumstances.
AAR and Marc’s blog are back up!!!!
Thanks for that download tip at AA Place. I think anyone can do it for FREE!
RE #183
I used to get up at 3 AM to hear MS. Only recently have I been getting back to a normal sleep pattern. I’ll take them anytime I can have them. I think morning drive is their best shot at success and penetration.
Good to be back — need some liberal confessional time, though.
I loved Marc and Jim jerking my chain about living in No Oreleans. http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/No_Orleans
I admit that they have better PR there than we do. http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Oregon
Oh, Lawton Smalls is gonna bid Marc farewell tonight. Now that makes me wanna cry. 🙁
Re:129. Minor quibble, Kristapea. You said words to the effect that AAR may help us “take our country back…” No. The country has ALWAYS been controlled and dominated by the wealthy few. True, we shook the hell out of them in the 1930s, and got the New Deal. But the quarter turn to social democracy was meant as a bone to the majority to stop the popular struggle, and ensure the elite stay in power. Anyway, you should say TAKE OUR COUNTRY!
:fist::jason:
Valera Plame sueing VP Dick Chaney, Scooter Libby and Karl Rove! Priceless. Makes me smile on an otherwise suck ass day. Suck ass. 😉

Washington Plots Regime Change
Is Venezuela the Real Target of Bush’s New Cuba Plan?
By JOSÉ PERTIERRA
Cuba calls the shots; and Venezuela pays the bills. That is the major premise underlying the Report made public last Monday by the U.S. State Department concerning Cuba. Its findings are as much about the Bush Administration’s plans for regime change in Cuba, as they are about the alleged threat that Venezuela poses to U.S. national security interests.
The ninety-three page Report was prepared by the Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba, co-chaired by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez. Its recommendations were accepted by President George W. Bush. They include a budget of $80 million during the next two years to ensure a transition, rather than a succession of leadership, in Cuba. The Report also contains a classified attachment that contains a secret plan for regime change in Cuba.
Although the Commission’s Report and its recommendations are ostensibly about Cuba, Venezuela is a featured star player in the drama. It mentions Venezuela at least nine different times, always emphasizing Washington’s perception that the Chávez government is bankrolling the Cuban government: “Cuba can only meet its budget needs with the considerable support of foreign donors, primarily Venezuela,” says the Report…
http://www.counterpunch.org
Ok, and not to be smug, but for the umpteenth time, AAR was never meant to be any kind of lefty network imho. It was and is an atm machine and megaphone for democans like Franken and friends. Face it, they jerked your chain, friends. They found some good talent (Malloy, Marc, Seder, Jeaneane, Maddow, etc.), teased you and lured you to fork over $ for it. Stop encouraging them! Follow the dj’s, and cut off your $ to these assheads asap.
Now, what’s this about no show tonight or Friday??? wtf? 😡
Ava Lowery Knows Peace Takes Courage
http://www.buzzflash.com/interviews/06/07/int06025.html
==================================
AAAARRRRRGGGGGG
finally :fustrate::fustrate::doh::yuck::eek:
You should be able to just right click on the link, choose “save as” or “save target as” or whatever, and save it to your computer. Oh, wait, you have a Mac. Use command click (I think) instead of the right click. They are mp3 files, so you just want to download them. Then you’ll have to import them into iTunes or whatever hoops that iTunes makes you jump through.
Cnickthomas, I want to listen to the show you so kindly posted, but don’t want to help crash your site. Since I refused to ever fund these fuckers, I do not have any other way to listen. I do have a tidy stash of old MS’s saved in my ITunes, but I haven’t had the desire to listen to old MS shows. But I do know enough not to delete them, cause I’m sure I’ll want them in future.
Sincerity, honesty, courage, and conscience — Ava Lowery has them all. She’s like a fresh breeze that blew in to replace the stale pundits and Bush administration propagandists who have pushed for war and an endless occupation of Iraq. Ava Lowery first launched her website, Peace Takes Courage, in March, 2005. Much like Cindy Sheehan’s foray to Crawford a year ago, Ava’s Web-based campaign for truth and peace has proven inspiring and effective. This fifteen-year-old girl, who built a Web page and created a steady stream of imagery, music, and news to fill it, is living proof that each of us can make a difference in the struggle for accountability, peace, and a political voice. She’s the face of hope and someone who gives the phrase “Support Our Troops” a whole new meaning. We’re pleased to share our conversation with her with you.
Very inspiring, and hopefully she’s just one example of teens and young adults who are going to be the future of progressive politics. From talking to young people I get the feeling there are a lot of them out there who are left-leaning, moreso than people my own age. I hope they don’t lose the fire.
By the way, I too am someone who is reading, not lurking. As I said the other day, I have this thing about reading all the posts and their links that interest me, before posting here. I’m up to 171, and took a break to fire off this 3 or 4 posts. This is a great blog, you all are solid; imagine if we met in person, what a party we’d have!
By the way #2 – I tried for a solid hour last night to post to Marc’s blog list at his website. I kept getting a window telling me my text box was empty, even though I kept typing text into it! I stayed up late to listen, for the first time in weeks, due to a friend leaving an urgent phone message about Marc being cancelled.
ex-ny’er. I am sure I will be interested in getting MS programs from you in the future. As far as AAR not being left: Oh really! What else is news? As you know probably better than anyone on this blog, a real left network Could not get off of the ground in this Big Business-dominated culture we thrive under–writhe under. Now LOW-WATT RADIO! WE CAN DO SOMETHING THERE.
i seem to just save 2 minutes…ARGH I’ll wait for the teenager to get home.
Thanks, pj, you’re a PEACH! :bow:
(god, I miss morning sedition. – inews 5000 and brendan laughing…)
The dorpuses over at DU are highly conflicted as to what this mess in the middle east means.. I see a lot of “liberals” who think the Israeli response to kidnapping of three Israelis was justified.
The M$M is playing this like its a war .. When one side has heavy artillery and an airforce and the other side has some large firecracker like rockets and bricks..
OPEC has called an emergency meeting for tomorrow … live in fear…and oil your roller slakes.:yuck::eek::shock:
ex-nyer – on marc’s blog, disable rich text and then type and post, otherwise you lose your comment (assume you are also using safari).
Fred. Where have you been for the past forty years. The coverage of Israel’s ongoing violence is fairly typical. As for liberals….EUREKA! Has AAR covered the situation in depth?
The Hispanics at work look on the new Colorado law with a lot of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.. The social workers say it will make the the whole welfare system fall apart if they have to ask everyone for ID’s, birth certificates etc.. They probably won’t even try to enforce it.:rant1:
My impression of AAR was that it was something to at least start to counter the right wing noise that permeates the airwaves. While it may not be left to some, I’m sure it sounds radical to others – especially those who have heard nothing but right wing talking points day in and day out for years. So, anything that can do that is OK by me. Especially if produces something like Morning Sedition, in spite of itself.
And, frankly, I’ve never gven AAR a dime, either. I have found other avenues of getting what I want.
BTW, re: the problems posting at AAR, if you happen to be using the safari web browser, you’ll need to disable rich text.
Malloy is going, or gone??? I forget who mentioned this, but what’s the story with that? Fuck! :holla:
That’s it for me tuning in to aar at all, except maybe for Seder, maybe Papantonio occasionally. And Bob Linden of Go Vegan radio has been forking $$ over to aar assheads for them to carry him here in San Francisco, and in Los Angeles. I’ll send him a contribution as soon as I’m flush enough to do it. Linden is funny, if a little loopy sometimes (didn’t really need to hear the Seventh Day Adventists or Zio-spiritualist vegans lecturing on veganism/vegetarianism being of little use without their brand of spirituality; but whatever, they’re entitled to their muddle-headed opinion – and I’m a compassionate vegan, but we don’t need any church, temple, sect, to tell us how to be spiritual).
Arab Talk radio at kpoo.com just now announcing from Al Jazeera Israel bombing main road leading from Beirut to Syria. Fucking zionazis. Surrounding Lebanon from the sea…That reminds me, Michael Lerner of Tikkun gives me major ajida (agida?); he’s a spiritual huckster, end of story, period.
americans are programmed to think an Israeli’s life is worth more than a Palestinian life. look at the NYT today. Front page, the story headline is 8 Israeli soldiers killed. in the body of the article it mentions twenty-two Palestinian CIVILIANS who were killed. the israelis right now are acting like the big spoiled child in the room beating everyone up and no one, absolutely no one will tell him to stop. neo-cons follow the same theories as the israelis.
Liberals Death talk: “Israel has a right to defend itself” “Air America is just propaganda from the left” “We need to create a consensus or we won’t win elections, so stop fighting, everyone” “Get out and vote and ignore the extremists, they’re giving us a bad name” “Protests are a thing of the past and they don’t work”
LURKERS UNITE!
:rofl2:
Dyselexics of the world untie! Oh, wait…I mean…Nicki’s idea was better…
Hey lefties! We need walk softly lest we lose the ground under our feet. True, liberals can be maddening; but if we blow them off now for not being radical we will not have friends when the shit hits the fan. (That was basically the gist of a private talking to I got from a very radical, New Left professor after I had went after some “liberals”. My lesson is to use the space the liberals provide as a basis for campaigns for real democracy, people stuff. i.e. AAR! Support them for the good things they provide. Critique for the less than ideal.)
Who throws out that “protests don’t work” message? Kos? Liberal Oasis?
:omg:
Back in the 60’s when Egypt attacked Israel or was it Israel attacked Egypt or maybe it was CBS that just started the war to get their ratings up ….The two sides really did have armies.. The US of course helped Israel so it was again one sided.. Americans are too stupid to really look at whats happening .
Any red books in the post today?
:bow::pent:
:jesus:
Marcos at Kos said that. Said it’s time to come up with new forms of dissent and that one doesn’t work and it gives us a bad image. Damn hippies and punks. Didn’t come out and say “be a yuppie with a former military history like me” but he might as well have
The left needs to do what the righwing nuts have done so successfully – steadily force the middle back to the middle, for starters, and then keep pushing it left, until socialized medicine and a $20/hr minimum wage are wild, rightwing positions.
let me see. I’m looking through the mail now
Israel attacked Egypt… and Jordan, and then Syria. Annexed much Arab territory. Egypt attacked Israel in 1973, which led to Israel returning the land they grabbed from them. Hey. You should know this fucking history.
hmm yes, I do believe there’s something red that came in the mail
these new day liberals wouldn’t know what the true” left” is even it came along as smacked them in the face, which it should, because they’re so comfy and safe that anything that might make them feel the least bit outspoken or concerned about anything but themselves would make them nervous wrecks.
The rightwing is doing what much of the corporate world wants them to do, basically, virtually kill the New Deal. I want to overthrow the rule of the corporate world. Yes, liberal programs are a start. I am tired of struggling only to get beat back again. Kill the monster, not shake out weak concessions.
Kos said the thing about protests.. I think it depends if you march around in circles and chant the same o same o or if you trow rocks at the police and break things.. Rethugs don’t like to have their stuff broken but when the police find it impossible or to dangerous to stop it the rethugs will flee in terror.:yuck::eek::shock:
Liberals know about the left–and it makes them quake.
Radical Little Red Book!

yep. Sending me commie material.

I use a Mac at home, yes, Farmerkat. Thanks for this tip (why don’t they say this on the website??). I’m at work, on a Dell PC, natch. “No Orleans”, haven’t heard that one before.
Just watched Marc’s Guilty Stalker film, that was great!
Plame suing Cheney, Scooter and Rove, yay!
Nicki, of course I want to share my stash, with anyone and everyone. I need to make a list of dates I have there, and listen to a few at random to make sure they ‘took’. They’re podcasts that played directly into ITunes, so I’m trusting they’re pretty secure (I’ve backed up my Music folder, ie, ITunes, numerous times, so I’m trusting they’re on cd’s). I only have dialup at home, and even if I had dsl or broadband, I wouldn’t know how to send these files over email. So I guess I copy them onto cd’s, is that right?
Yeah, get it fixed by the weekend, would ya?
Oh, never mind. The Apocalypse is right on schedule.
Noam Chomsky in Beirut

Noam and Carol Chomsky arrived in Beirut on May 8, 2006, for an eight-day visit, their first ever to Lebanon. Many of Noam’s friends had wanted this visit to happen for a long time. The Palestinians, the south of Lebanon, and the wider Middle East and its peoples have all been central among Noam’s many concerns. He has written about them and defended them, publicly and tirelessly, for nearly four decades, and will continue “as long as I’m ambulatory.”[1] Beirut would give Noam Chomsky a hero’s welcome, and it did with relish.
An invitation from the American University in Beirut provided the occasion. Noam would give two lectures at the AUB on two consecutive days, May 9 and 10, and then the rest of the eight-day stay would be devoted to meeting people and visiting places.[2] The non-AUB part of the visit would be organized by writer, political activist and long-time friend Fawwaz Trabulsi, with help from me.
Noam’s visit came at a time of heightened tension in Lebanon and renewed violence in the Palestinian territories and in Iraq. What is mostly recalled in the Western media of Lebanese events in recent months is perhaps the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri on February 14, 2005, followed by several massive demonstrations in Beirut during the Spring of 2005, which were a major factor in forcing the withdrawal of Syrian troops at the end of April 2005, twenty-nine years after they first entered Lebanon at the beginning of the civil war. Hariri’s assassination is still under investigation by a UN-appointed commission. . .
Help, cnick! I’m at the page, I click on listen, nothing happens. What gives?
Hariri was a prominent opponent of a three-year extension of Emile Lahoud’s presidential mandate, from November 2004 to November 2007, resulting from a constitutional amendment that had been engineered by the Syrian government both by intimidation and through its own allies in the Lebanese parliament. In protest, Hariri resigned from the cabinet premiership in October 2004 and joined an increasingly militant anti-Syrian opposition, whose most vocal leader was Walid Jumblat.
The huge demonstrations in the Spring of 2005 were fueled not only by long-simmering resentment of heavy-handed Syrian domination, but also by a stagnant economy reflected by a staggering national debt estimated at around 40 billion dollars, amounting to more than 180 % of the country’s GDP, the highest ratio anywhere in the world. If anything, these demonstrations showed a deep popular demand for change, shared by wide strata of the population, mobilizing more than a half million people (on March 8, 2005) and three quarters of a million (on March 14, 2005) in a country with a population under 4 million . But the political elites were divided, chiefly according to what they perceive as the main external threat to Lebanon. The organizers of the March 8 demonstration, led by Hizbullah, consider the chief danger to come from Israeli incursions and regional designs, backed up by a totally unfettered US policy to reshape the Middle East political map under the Bush administration; on the other hand, the organizers of the March 14 demonstration, including Walid Jumblat and others among Rafiq Hariri’s allies, argue that the Lebanese have to first free themselves from the danger in their midst — namely, Syria’s continued meddling through its local allies and the security agencies it created or molded during its 29-year military presence — before they can tackle their other problems, including Israeli threats.
DVD’s, not CD’s, is what I’ve backed up everything onto, and is what I meant to write. So, um, I can’t get that podcast of last night’s show to work…:?:

I understand, Druid. The whole MM thing makes me so sad I really don’t know what to say. I put on Air America on the way to work today and got so depressed i wanted to cry Just thinking about what’s happening. Hard for me to write about it right now. Some people here have been quite eloquent, however
Israeli Consulate in San Francisco, 456 Montgomery Stret, starting in ten minutes, I have to be here in my cubicle. This job interferes with my life. I’m glad I have you guys (guys as in the New York all-inclusive sense, I grew up saying “you guys”, meaning guys and gals all).
Nicki, or was it Susan, about not alienating our liberal friends. I can agree up to a point. But it is important to point out to people when they are buying into horsecrap. Not in a self righteous way (and yeah I know there are plenty of self righteous smug lefties to go around, but I find neither the right, left, nor in betweens have a monopoly on the self righteous niche). Tricky. Gotta get back to paper work, I’m committing major time theft here at work this afternoon. Hurrah for work theft!:fist:
PROTEST. 6pm Portland Pioneer SQUARE. Bring…..signs and bodies. Tomorrow too.
:fist:
:bow::pent:
Pressure liberals to move left. I give a fuck about alienating them. Use the space they create. Push them left. Find out what the PAX AMERICANA agenda is, and has been since the 1940s. Change it! The system is only following the above mentioned script. Early NSC stuff. Get to it, activists!

Nobody reading!
:rofl2:
Hey guys!
Did you all get the show or should I edit it and start exporting it to everyone?
I havent had time yet to read through everything since I left this AM….
but I have to say that I drove around and did my stuff in tears to think that this is the end…again!
I havent even been able to assemble my thoughts enough to blog…and there is so much going on!
When Marc explained whats going on I was very thankful that hes handled things so incredibly well…I have no reservations abotu his decision.
This is business and showbiz, and he cant be expected to accept such a lame offer.
Im really proud of Marc….Im really happy to have been lucky enough to listen to him develop in this medium and Im sure gonna miss him and Jim.
I think Im gonna start at the beginning in my ipod…I have everything that was avaialable at the first cancellation….and I have probably all of the Marc maron Show…maybe 15 or 20 gigs of stuff…so I may just start from the beginning and listen to the whole thing. That should take around a year and a half depending on if I take weekends off.
We socialists had a protest at the Israeli consulate here in San Francisco last week, got the jump on the Lerner/Tikkun/JVP ‘eretz Israel’ crowd. And we got a pretty damn good turnout on short notice (I had to be at my cubicle that afternoon too, but all my retired, out of work, fixed income comrades made it). But there’s no such thing as too many protests at any Israeli consulate!:nod:
:barf:
Start with a Best of CD.
:rofl2:
awwwww…hehe
What has Lerner been saying about Israel’s latest aggressiveness? He has been critical, along with his nationalist/religious shit. But still…CREATE SPACE!
:fist:
:bow::pent:
There, isi. I deleted mine, so please follow suit.
Sorry I’m not good at remembering names, and all this scrolling up down up down makes my head hurt a little. I train my eyes to scan for links and phrases, and even when I try to remember the names that go with the posts, there are so many damn good posts, I get mixed up. But it’s nice to know you’re all one flesh :pent::yinyang::jesus:
What is the meaning of your vomit launch, isi? I find it far more offensive than my post about one flesh.
Er, *we’re* all one flesh? :peace:
I took it as humour. No offense. I meant no offense at my biblical crack. Perhaps Susan took offense at it. Let her launch the Vomit emoticon, or whatever.
I deleted my mindless remark; waiting on Isi to do the same.
no offense! I thought it was incredibly accurate, and I agree, that’s how I feel about you. Vomit if you like , anyone, I don’t care

Hey, where is Kat? Has anyone heard from her?
Engle has been transferred to…wherever the bombs are dropping the hardest…and Im hoping that they dont press Mr back into work because of the unfolding stories.
2 huge military helecoptors flew low over my place this afternoon…scary.
Problem with Lerner: he is yet another American who has this fairy tale sentimental attachment to some fable “Eretz Israel”. Yeh, he criticizes Israel, he’s probably down at the consulate as I write this. My friends and I call him a spiritual huckster because he palms off this bullshit about how ‘both sides need to dialogue’, and how we all need to leave anger and negativity behind. Should we have told this to black South Africans when they were struggling to overturn apartheid there? No, certainly not. I don’t want to be a broken record about Israel armed to the teeth, thanks mainly to U.S. money and Israel Lobby embedded in U.S. society, but hey, the whole Israeli state formation is on stolen land. And before anyone goes saying, well, so’s this country too, which of course is true – our country is not receiving the bulk of its economic support from another country! :jason: (That’s for Israel and liberal fake anti zionists like Lerner). I can understand Lerner’s appeal, but once you start really dismantling the propaganda that has passed for Israeli history these last fifty years, it becomes pretty easy to see how hypocritical and self serving folks like Lerner are. And the fact that he pastes this new age spiritual veneer over it, however much he may believe it (a delusional pathology in and of itself) makes me spew. :barf:

Isi has no reason to delete anything Nicki…..you want to post stuff like that here then prepare to see a little vomit!
Lets get you two of one flesh together and get it on!!
hey, Im only a couple of towns away, so maybe after the consumation of whatever, I can stop by for movies and popped corn on the big king bed…Ill bring Will and his casts and the birds to meet Kush…how bout it?

I liked Michael Lerner much better on the Waltons.
There was a Micheal Lerner on The Waltons?
hey melina, I’m here reading before i try to sleep – crappy day today.
How’s Will doing? Still in pain?
mr is on US soil but don’t know what will happen. engle was moved out of mainly living in baghdad and was supposed to open a bureau in Beruit. Not sure how that’s working out at the moment.
mr fk has friends that still live in the camps in Lebanon…
Need to read European news, I guess, they’re much more in tuned with the conflict if that cnn poll is accurate.
Michael Learned was the mother. I figured that would be too obscure a reference. Fortunately, when you’re an old fart living alone in a dorm room, it’s pretty much all about amusing yourself.
Syriana now there was an intense flick. Shoulda seen Raging Granny squirm over the fingernails part.
Yeah, I saw that cnn poll, pj. Sick, huh? This just shows what a great job the Israeli lobby has done convincing media and everyone else in this country that they’re the victims. And no, I am not saying there are no Israeli victims. But if their military, propped up by our dollars, wasn’t occupying stolen land and committing wholesale slaughter, then there wouldn’t be these victims. Israeli Jews are much more sharply critical of their govt and military than what is ever permitted in the U.S. and yes even the European press. But they still fear ‘demographic change’, code term for the theocratic Jewish state overtaken in numbers by Arab birth rate. Arabs who marry Israeli Jews are now barred from ever being granted Israeli citizenship.
I’m sure Engle will keep himself safe.

The Israelis are fucking nuts. Isn’t there a saying that you become the thing you hate? I think that’s what they’re becoming. Or have become. Not all of them, of course. I don’t fault all Israelis any more than I fault all Americans. Unfortunately, both governments have long enabled the other’s sociopathic behavior. The rapture right should be ecstatic – nearer their god are they.

The Case Against Israel by Michael Neumann, professor of philosophy at Trent University, systematically dismantles the rationales for Israel put forward by Alan Dershowitz and other defenders of the Zionist state.
The Politics of Anti-Semitism, edited by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, confronts how the slur of “anti-semite” has been used to intimidate critics of Israel’s abuse of Palestinians. It includes essays by Uri Avnery, Edward Said, Michael Neumann and Bill and Kathy Christison.
Israel takes off options! Cut funding. Basic.
Hamas was democratically elected, SEDER. Israel does not want to negotiate, tough shit!

Biblical depends on which papyrus leaf your sect reads from. If there were a God, she would not want humans fighitng over something as silly as land.
She certainly would not…
Would you fight if someone threw you out of your house, claiming that god had given it to them –and you had no rights. Alright, you can stay in one room, under constant surveillance. One glass of water per day, too.

Sam is so cool…rounding up people in New Jersey, would you like that?????
the human animal has always migrated and fought wars for land and the greener grass….like ants….
I suppose a bee from the outside of the hive would fight a war for the mythical queen in the center….
This is just instinct…
But really we did the same thing to the native americans and we have broken treaties or whatever, so they should also be able to tell us all to leave.
It is just the barbarism of the the human animal.
Aye to such a conferation. But it’s not up to me
I miss Marc already
Palestinians have no rights, unlike New Jerseyites.
true, the analogy was less than perfect, but it was attention-grabbing …
It is up to you to demand that the US stop enabling Israel towards bringing about its physical destruction. To say nothing about the moral degradation of the country.
No. The analogy works. It raises the question, “Why don’t the Palestinians have…”

I’m actually quite happy that Maron has been released from the control of these losers, and so should he. Can’t wait for that exciting AAR fall lineup. Just think of it: a radio version of “My Mother The Car.”
Thanks for the “thrills” Sinton; now go fuck yourself. In front of Jerry Springer’s cameras preferably.
I’m off to Ecuador for 10 days, and i’ve really enjoyed reading this blog, and the comments of the casually weird people on it, tho this means that i won’t get to read about the Maron/Earl Last Supper. Thanks PJ et al.

Weekly Labor update with SEIU Local 503’s Leslie Frane
Shame there isn’t the same passion for the native americans, who had a democracy ages before our beloved founding fathers established a “more perect union” for rich white male landowners. Those native americans who are shoved into “one room” under surveillance because “god” granted the land to the white europeans so they might establish dominion over all the earth.
The situation on Native American Reservations are similar to those of Palestinians?
The Native Americans experienced genocide, true enough. One difference is that Native Americans are citizens of the US. They can vote. Same rights every citizen has. For what it is worth.
Perhaps after Israel has completely destroyed their culture, they will be as fortunate as the native americans.
That conclusion is what we will struggle to prevent. Too bad we did not have the New Left (or whatever) in the 19 Century.
19th Century? By the 1800’s, the native population (by conservative estimates) had been reduced by 95%. From some 12 million (most likely more) to a few hundred thousand.

Back from the gym, :banana: my headache’s gone now; one quick post before I go out the busstop and head home to cook dinner and feed Samsara the cat:billcat: Wow, blog is jumping tonight, there’s never usually this many people on this late, yay! NickiRose: re 313, yes a confederation, a secular one-person one-vote truly democratic worker run state, the way people were meant to live, abso-fucking-lutely. That requires the dismantling of the Israeli state as it exists now, so I take issue with #320, because the destruction of the currently existing theolocratic occupation must happen to free the population from autocracy. As in Iran, Saudi Arabia, and all the other despotic depraved states. Most of all here, of course. PJ’s right, you don’t see the same passion over the tragedy and struggle of the Native Americans.
To clarify something that I wrote in #279:
Israel armed to the teeth, thanks mainly to U.S. money and Israel Lobby embedded in U.S. society, but hey, the whole Israeli state formation is on stolen land. And before anyone goes saying, well, so’s this country too, which of course is true – our country is not receiving the bulk of its economic support from another country!
The clarification: we all know of course that through exerminations, enslavements and ongoing theft of resources from here and the rest of the world, our economy is based on the most depraved abuse of human labor and the earth; difference being that no other country is funding our economy through the largesse of a monumental foreign aid package and supporters working on our behalf. Israel has all that from us. Is that too long winded a clarification? Seemed like a glaring urgent thing I needed to clear up, when I realized it over in the gym
Wow, great reading recommendations. Allow me to add ones I’ve mentioned before: Norm Finkelstein’s classic The Holocaust Industry and his latest Beyond Chutzpah; Lenni Brenner’s essays and if you’re a masochist, try working your way through his 51 Documents (of Zionist collaboration with the Nazis and Italian Facists) – there’s supposed to be another book he wrote that helps make sense of the documents. Also, must reading and can do it on the computer easily – the writings of my favorite bad-boy-to-the-zionazis and racial bigots, Tim Wise. And Ilan Pappe and Tanya Reinhardt, and my anti zionist friend and mentor Jeff Blankfort, who has some very long but incredible essays in Left Curve magazine, and I think something on CounterPunch. Also a local great guy and friend Joseph Anderson, has an excellent piece recently published on dissident voice’s website. Whew! No wonder I never have time…

moonlightman, I worked (…and work again now, sadly,) upon saving the wolves thus I did learn of an underground zoo-ish connection to have full wolves. I “wanted” them to get out of cages and run free. I was in mountains with full wolves until they passed. I had Alphas with just a “Motley Crew-type” Hybrid Beta, named Danu Green Dragun Dharma. She was born in the year of the Green Dragon. “Danu” was female wolves first name. 🙂
Snapping with a Z …:rofl2: I went to school down south which was between the Barrio and Watts. It is a “homey” positive action. Snap in the AIR making a Z.

A Druid with wolves? WOW. How wonderful! You must have lived quite a life! Alpha meaning a pack leader? Are you teasing me? If true, you must have had quite a handful! It amazes me how all the stories about the evil wolf have existed into the “enlightened age”. Sad. I am a conspiracy theorist and tend to be skeptical of everything. I do tend to believe you though. Few know or use the terms “alpha” and Beta. The world needs more people like you. Regarding wolves…..as in the world bad is good and good is bad.
