So, I’m thinking it’s probably not too soon to contact HBO, and tell them that you think a Sunday morning alternative to the crappy talking head programs is a great idea, and that of course the best person to host is that Marc Maron guy, who has excellent interviewing skills, expansive political knowledge, and who is the very epitome of “young” and “hip” (as opposed to the current Sunday shows, which are the epitome of “old” and “hip replacement”). So, you can try and figure out which subject on their contact page is best suited to conveying this message, or you can just use the “general” contact form. You could even give them a call at 212-512-1208 Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM Eastern Time.
Oh, and tell ’em that the only reason you bought copies of Left of the Dial for everyone in your family was the Marc Maron commentary.

Poop prank defended as free speech
SINCE REP. MARILYN MUSGRAVE GOT A FECES-LADEN PACKAGE, IT’S UNLEASHED A BIG STINK IN THE COURT
Greeley
What Weld County prosecutors see as the misuse of a rancid pile of dog feces, Kathleen Ensz’s defense attorneys see as an expression of the First Amendment.
Ensz is accused of going into her backyard in May, obtaining a piece of excrement, placing it in an unwanted political mailer and slipping in under the door of U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave’s office.
Ensz’s attorneys argue that her conduct was a form of political protest that deserves protection and is as sacrosanct as Thomas Jefferson’s railing against the king of England.
They also cited Mr. Hankey, a television character on the adult cartoon show “South Park,” as evidence of how commonplace feces is for expressing disdain.
Mr. Hankey is a talking piece of human waste that shows up every Christmas Eve to deliver presents to good boys and girls whose diet has been high in fiber.
“What she did was probably crude and boorish,” said Patricia Bangert, one of Ensz’s attorneys. “But when Thomas Jefferson said there should be no kings and queens and we should be a free nation, that was considered obnoxious and horrible at the time.”
Bangert also cites Mr. Hankey as part of her argument that feces is often used as an angry expression shielded by the Constitution.

Great idea HBO, but ditch the smart aleck bimbo and substitute someone who can actually do an intelligent interview, say Mark Reilly, and oh yeah, how about you put the show on every morning, and add some comic spots with Jim Earl et al — now you’ve got a show, geniuses.
I love Maron, like everybody else, but do you really want to see him interviewing Joe Biden? “Hey, that guy was a dick!”

Yesterday, Reps. Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters introduced H.R. 508: The Bring the Troops Home and Iraq Sovereignty Restoration Act, taking up the President’s challenge to come up with a plan for Iraq. Thirteen additional members have already signed on as co-sponsors. The bill would bring our troops home in six months.
It’s up to PDA activists to spread the word – to friends, relatives, co-workers, other activists…and to media of every type, including independent blogs and websites. H. R 508 is a concrete plan – not just a symbolic, non-binding resolution – that progressives and Democrats can rally around.

Krista…Im so happy for you about your computer…it should be great! is that the one with the computer housed in the screen or does it have a tower? Did you get the large screen?
I ordered the 24″ screen in a moment of insanity that cost me $300+ more…but its a business expense writeoff and if I can get this office set up I think grandpa is gonna run it through his business, which will mean that they pay the Dell bill;-)….
God, I hope because Im in debt….
But mine shipped yesterday and I was hanging out at the firehouse yesterday and the UPS guy came in and I told him to look out for it. He brought my new laptop batt yesterday and he said hes been delivering whole systems…so I hope so….because I always have problems with that signature thing. This guy knows me so well that he puts my stuff inside the mud room for me.

Prosecutor says presidential recount rigged in Ohio county
M.R. KROPKO
Associated Press
CLEVELAND – Three elections workers in the state’s most populous county conspired to avoid a more thorough recount of ballots in the 2004 presidential election, a prosecutor told jurors during opening statements Thursday.
“The evidence will show that this recount was rigged, maybe not for political reasons, but rigged nonetheless,” Prosecutor Kevin Baxter said. “They did this so they could spend a day rather than weeks or months” on the recount, he said.

KP, enjoy the new computer. I will think wistfully of you as I wait for mine to be returned to me.

And I completely agree with the NYT on this one (hope it’s ok with ya’all to post it in full):
Happy b’day, Will. You should enjoy them while you can – pretty soon, it won’t be all that much fun to see them come around again.
Congrats on being able to get a new computer, KP. After all the struggling you’ve had with old and crappy computers, a nice shiny new iMac will seem pretty amazing.
Yeah. But I really want to see him do his Franken impersonation while interviewing Senate candidate Al Franken.
Little bit of snow headed our way today. 3-5 inches today, 4-6 tonight, and another 3-5 tomorrow. More, if the wind blows from the Northwest over Lake Ontario. We’ll have to see if it actually happens or not (the weather dudes are pretty anxious for something to report on).

Country music legend Merle Haggard reflects on a career that’s evolved from “Okie from Muskogee” to his recent anti-war song, “Let’s Rebuild America First”. “Hag” is now embarking on a whole new venture, and it has nothing to do with music.
Melina, Give my BD wishes to Will. Some of my best friends are drummers. My favorite drummers would probably be Jim Keltner and Tom Ardolino of NRBQ. I saw Jack Dejohnette and Bill Frisell recently and they did “Up on Cripple Creek” as an encore.
Slap those skins, Will! I bet a lot of folks don’t have a mother who would aid and abet this particular direction.
