I’m still somewhat comatose from having to sit through class last night, so I can’t think of much to say. The shame of it is, it’s my favorite class this semester – and the only one where I feel like I’m learning anything. I need to buy some parts and build a computer; like Andy said yesterday, it calms me down, too. Anybody out there need a new computer?
THANK YOU …L T R …
If it wasn’t for you and WWRC-AM I would Not Have …

I am listening to SEDITION RADIO!! :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:
Because I need the funny today. I need the funny REALLY BADLY.
Woke up to learn of the passing of Kurt Vonnegut. One of the authors whose books I tore through voraciously in high school. So it goes.
I must be starved for the funny this morning… Cenk just made me laugh. Damn you, Young Turds. 😀 Maybe I should join Jill on Sedition Radio.
I’m giving a short speech this afternoon concerning the House bill establishing a Department of Peace. Kucinich introduced the bill, as if you couldn’t have guessed. My audience will be primarily retirees, who will most likely be dead before this bill becomes law, so I have my work cut out for me.
On the other hand, they’re younger than Vonnegut was, so maybe there’s a progressive or two hiding in the mix.
So it goes.
brilliant- I really enjoyed your critique yesterday comparing MS to Laugh-in and Bob and Ray.
To Everyone- If Lionel really trashed Rachel for being gay then
:fu: Lionel.
Marc filling in for Malloy on Nova :dancers: :yippee:
:joe: :joe: :joe: :joe: 😮 😮 😯 😯
❓ whatever :sheep: le
KKZN had Bill Press on this morning. I wonder if Marvin is still on at 6 am ?? :reaper: :reaper:
Got to go again .. Sharing laps is a pain in the A*. The router that allows access to the internet in our new digs isn’t allowing access .. The head shed IS dept is in charge of it so who knows when I will be back :crap: :yuck: 😮 😮
hey PJ- Ben’s family has no computer…and Id buy some parts if you wanted to build the kids something.
Im actually thinking that Im going to enlarge my children’s education charity to include computers for inner city kids and eventually get parts donated…or just buy em…
But if you feel like building something, lets skype tonight and figger out the expense of something for the kids….
Also Dru needs a new one….of course….
Hey, good to see ya Fred! :banana:
Good Morning :joe: Sad to hear about Kurt Vonnegut 🙁 Another writer whose books had a profound influence on the way I think. I also tore through his books in the course of a summer. I’m gonna have to find some younger writers to get into, all my faves are dying.
hey Fred…Krista….
yes…very sad…
I hate ot be this way but I found it also very chilling because he fell and got brain damage 2 weeks ago…one fall…
Made me think of the old man…and all the oldsters in my life who seem to be falling apart lately.
when is Marc filling in for Mike on Nova?
God, I hope they offer him a show….
Why is it that Vonnegut books were only read by young people? Is it because kids are smart and they realized that everything else is crap at the time, therefore by deduction we can conclude that he is likely the greatest writer OF ALL TIME?
This Imus thing is pretty crazy unbelievable….
Mom is on the warpath ….
but I figure that you takes your chances.
I havent seen Sammy make any slurs in all the trillions of hours that hes broadcasted over the past 3 years…maron either…or any of em…
Except Lionel, of course….
If youre an old white guy and you surround yourself with the bernies and whoever else’s of the world…well, you takes your chances….
The power structure can take these guys down any time they want.
Therefore they lost the chance to talk about it…but then…MSNBC is too white and male oriented.
Mom is worried because he is a “liberal” and she thinks that there is a movement to get rid of the “liberals”
I think that if Imus is a liberal that we have to raise our standards quite a bit.
But I dont think that Imus is a racist….sexist, mean, asshole, uncomfortable to watch, and just plain not funny.
I never turned on MSNBC till 9, unless Mom said that Imus had someone good on…and even then…I dont like the version of Frank Rich or whoever that I get on Imus because they kiss ass way too much.
I like David Gregory….but I think that this is the new Anna Nicole story.
Well, i was a kid when most of his books came out, so I pretty much had to read them when I was young.
well yeah…but maybe its time to reread them….like Krista said, theres not so much good to read from new authors….alot of good political books, but not this sort of novelization of social commentary….not that Ive found anyway….
As for Imus, I have stepdaughters that are college age or a little older, and if that asshole called them whores, I might have to choke him. It would be bad enough to insult professional athletes or other public figures in that way, but to insult a bunch of kids for the sole crime of making it to the basketball finals is reprehensible.
Oh, I’ve reread his books (among other) several times over the years. Not that I get a chance to read lately. You get different things out of them at different times in your life.
7. Im actually thinking that Im going to enlarge my children’s education charity to include computers for inner city kids and eventually get parts donated…or just buy em…
Melina if you’re serious, the afterschool program I work with in Chester, Pa. is in desperate need of new hardware. The fastest thing we’ve got right now is a P3 running at 800 MHZ, all of them running Win98. I need to build or acquire 8 computers and optionally a server.
We’ve pretty much tapped out our sources for donations (everyone is cutting back – must be the great economy) and there’s little I can do but scavange what doesn’t run to keep everything else running.
I just got up this might not be coherent.
Oh and good morning everybody. Very sad about Kurt, I read everything he wrote when i was in high school, I started with Breakfast of Champions for an english paper and then devoured everything else he had written at the time.
:yippee: :pirate: :yippee: F R E D :yippee: :pirate: :yippee: My 😮 :smack: 🙄 Computer Said No! It Froze!
a.i.v. :joe: :joe: :joe: It was an hour ago last he spoke, :peace:
I didn’t say there weren’t any good, young writers, I just don’t know of any except maybe Michel Faber, “The Crimson and the White”. But I haven’t been reading very much the last several years.
Melina, many people I know are dealing with aging parents now too. It’s getting me thinking about my own 😯
The aging parents thing isn’t much fun. Neither is the dead parents thing. What’s somewhat unnerving is that (absent tragedy), first the grandparents go, then the parents. Guess who’s next?
Oh PJ! 😮 :rofl2: You are so dark sometimes :reaper: :rofl2:
I’m just amazed at hold old I am. I mean, I don’t feel much different mentally (just that I remember things that nobody gives a shit about anymore), but I look at the number, and I remember what that number meant to me when I was young, and I think, damn, that’s “grown up” age. When the hell did that happen?
Aw, no Sammy cam for me today. “Please tune back during broadcast hours.”
Pj…you need the funny…
has anyone figured out a way to capture the sammy cam?
I have to go to visiting days at Will’s school tomorrow…ugh
Andy, I have to head out but I am going to think about this…it wouldnt be right away and we have alot of need here too…but I am rewritign the thing to enlarge it to be Tolls for Education…like, you can give a kid a scholarship but if he doesnt have a computer or the clothes to wear or food, how will it work?
But I havent been funded yet so anythign I do so far is out of my pocket….and then I have to see whats up here…
But maybe it worthwhile to write up a grant request and send it to alot of educational funds…maybe matching funds to tech companies to fund this in your school….
Ill be back later this afternoon….but the thing youre talking about is somehting that I want to do…the money is the harder part right at this minute.,…will get better later on after I have secured the one kid’s scholarship.
Yeah, I capture it with ReplayAV.
Ah, now I have Sammy.
Young Or Old . a person can die in a blink of the eye. 💡 :santacool:
So appreciate the daily goodbye…
If i was bitten by a rattler in the mountains were I lived and if it was a “wet” bite … then I would probably be dead before leaving the mountain. I accepted that.
Now I am getting even more morose, if that is possible :reaper: … :rofl2: … :dancers:
a.i.v. SeparateWays (Worlds Apart) … Journey
Yeah, blink of an eye is fine. Having to watch somebody you care about waste away and die isn’t so wonderful.
It’s kind of like being an AAR fan.
My brother says, while pointing to the top of his head, “I want to struck by lightning right here.”
Maron on Friday!
So he says. I had just IMed my silent Maron on Sammy Cam suggestion.
I didn’t see your post Melina, thanks.
Yes, Grandfather and Grandmother, each had very slow, arduous deaths. I remember a young girls/young woman’s prayers, especially praying for the grandparent to die! … :growl: a.i.v.
I will try the Cam tomorrow — at least I can hear him. 🙄
I hate to give props to Atrios for anything, and I actually thought the same thing, but I think Sam would be a dandy replacement for Imus on MSNBC. He could do a whole show on “News from the Blogosphere. He could have his usual assortment of bloggers on, and then some. CNN has those two bimbos do their bloggy thing on Wolf Blitzer’s show, why not devote at least some of the morning to what the blogs are saying? And Sam is the perfect guy to do it. Let’s get our e-mails over to Keith Olbermann (who seems to have been highly instrumental in the decision at MSNBC) and to this guy Steve Kappos (sp?).
In other news, H.R. from Staten Island called Greenfield and Bush Shill this morning and Greenfield was very rude to him — not at all like Sam. H.R. will miss our Sammy… 🙁
Just move the whole show to MSNBC. You wouldn’t have to change a thing.
I was kind of hoping for Marc Maron in the Morning (better alliteration), but Sam would be OK too.
Is that henry Rollins?
Yes, Rollins. He may not speak. Where’s Sean?
Sounds like there is a weirdo around.
Certainly Maron would rule!
Just lost the audio.
It got better
I quit the cam. It kept rebuffering and driving me nuts (er).
The fraudulent case over voter-fraud
Does that mean your capture is dead?
No, the capture is still going. No guarantee on the quality of it.
If you are so kind, I am gonna need it. I mean, just now, Pashman, in full effec :reaper: :reaper: :reaper: :reaper: t. And Rollins is great.
OK, it’s not the whole show, since I couldn’t get it going for a while. I can’t set it up automagically, because, the http link resolves to a unique, secure one-time rtsp link, so I have to get it going first, discover the url, and then get the capture going.
By the way, it’s gonna be like 300 megs.
You got it earlier than I did. I think I still have Skype and AOL IM.
At your convenience, of course. No hurry.
ok, i’ll womp it over to you when it’s over.
Your AIM name is the same as what it is here, right?
Yayy!!
wvmc3d
it is. I think Skype is just
Vernon
boy, my Sammy Cam cut out suddenly. I hope there was a little more.
Holy shit, the House Judiciary Committee subpoena of the Nixon tapes was 33 yeas ago? Damn, I feel old.
The capture is still going. Might be an empty studio, though.
I was 15
:yippee: melina saturday i will need a ride from jersey……
I guess I was about 13. Good, you’re older than I am. Now I feel better.
Here it comes. To your AIM account.
Thanks, pj. It looks like it is working. Hopefully tomorrow as well.
21 for me, children. :nana: :rofl2: I moved from Richmond to SF in the middle of it all.
It was maybe the best time of my life. Saturday night on CBS was M*A*S*H*, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, and Carol Burnett. (edit) Sorry, I forgot to acknowledge the excellence and vigilance of the Washington Post 🙁 and CBS News 🙁 🙁 at that time.
I am glad Thom :yawn: is reliving Watergate. Nothing I like more than Watergate nostalgia, when something actually worked out. Unfortunately, the ***holes went to school with that and Iran/Contra and are not likely to make the same mistakes twice.
Kudos to Janeane for referring to Mark “Greenberg” today. Same as it ever was.
I think the server burped.
Vern that was my Sarurday viewing schedule too.
I used to hurry home from school to watch the hearings on the teevee. The fact that they were on tv back then – back when there weren’t 200 channels and no 24 hour news channels – made it even more important. Lowell Weicker was a hero, and who didn’t like Sam Ervin? But even Republicans like Howard Baker had so much more stature than the worthless lot we seem to have today.
They need to get a court order locking down the RNC e-mail server(s), all the hard drives, and all the backup drives and media both onsite and off. E-mails never go away.
Fred Thompson was there. Who was it that eventually took Weicker down?
It was on one of those must see CBS Saturday nights that the Saturday Night Massacre was bulletined in. That was a night!
I swear, Hartmann’s contrarion guests almost always sound like plants.
:pup: maron and rollins on saturday!
:rofl2:
If you mean, took him down as Senator from Connecticut, it was little ol’ Joey Lieberman.
So LIEberman took out a decent Repug only to become a hideous Rethug in :sheep: clothing? :omg:
I can’t take any more Hartmann, time for Otto’s Baroque

:gate: Just Making Space and Offering a Hand 😉 :fist:
a.i.v.
Yeah, Vern. In fact, Prescott Bush (George I’s brother) tried to grab the Republican nomination away from Weicker in 1982, an in 1988, Bill Buckley and his National Review magazine (plus his brother James, former NYS Senator) actively campaigned for Lieberman, and Jeoy began his reign as a Republicrat.
Hey everybody, it’s Thursday and the new Billboard album chart is out, so it’s time once again for…

Eight new entries and the reissued Beyonce CD push the lovely Amy down ten places to #22. Best Buy had the CD for $7.98 this week, so maybe that will jump-start sales for the next chart.

Contaminated pet food is still being sold at some stores, U.S. health officials warned on Thursday after checking hundreds of retail outlets.
The Food and Drug Administration said it had inspected about 400 stores nationwide and still found some dog and cat food products affected by last month’s recall by Canada-based pet food maker Menu Foods Income Fund and other manufacturers.

PJ- can you give me the sammy cam file?….is it in a format that I can play on my replay?
I was just in the market and they have all of these different things pulled from the shelves…like not Beggin Strips, which my dogs live, but another similar thing from the same company.
I have plain dehydrated chicken jerky…but it worrisome in general.
I am using California Naturals food and It the same Co ad Innova…in any case all US and human grade…and rice not wheat…but this is so bad…
Hello to all from Hospital Land
:slap: :dancers: :reaper: :sammy: :fustrate: :paranoid: :rant1: :doh: :no: :omg: :growl: :jason:
Employee survey just released shows this hospital to be in the 3rd percentile for employee job satisfaction. :slap: Kind of like Bush’s approval ratings.
On the bright side, I called IMT this morning to ask if I was going to get an upgrade for this old Dell clunker with the sticky keyboard & insufficient memory. They said they’d check & 4 hours later delivered a new computer which is now sitting in boxes next to my desk! Wow! Wonder how often I can call & tell them I need a new computer & get that kind of service!! :tongue: Now they just need to get someone in here to set it up.
Anyway, I am wondering if Melina could look into institutions that upgrade their stuff & have to get rid of still workable PCs possibly donating their desktops to schools that need them 💡 . We really need far more recycling in our society, like it was in the old days when I was growing up.
My parents never threw anything away if it could be fixed — but back then things were far more mechanical & You didn’t have to deal with electronic circuitry & plastic & such 😯 AND they had just invented the wheel. :billcat:
Just a thought.
Over & out, :boobs:
VIGILANCE, :sheep: le :fist:
:fire: :fire: :fire:
PJ…also…can there be a second channel on Sedition radio that runns the entire run of shows (whatever we have and can assemble somehow) from the beginning to end just in a huge loop….
I dont think they would care …and we would have something to listen to.
I guess I could start myself (I took my 60 gig ipod out of my pocket in Boston and showed Maron and said that most of MS was right there…he probably thought I was insane….But who is insane now??? Huh? Huh?….)…and heaven knows I cant catch up on anything…but I am SO sad about sammy ending …and about AAR being pretty much over.
I just heard the lineup commercial in the car and it was so…UGH!!….David Bender…Eco Talk…
Isnt there already an NPR?? Where are the young cool hosts?
GRANNY!!!!
So nice to see ya.
I think that in a school situation, if you write it up the right way and submit it to a bunch of big tech companies you can probably get a donation of all equipt….like, here, they have whole computer labs in public school donated by Gateway or whatever….
but then if you get a dud company you have a problem….
Brilliant was spot-on today about these brave little boys who threaten women bloggers with rape and sexual assault. What courageous little soldiers; mommy must be so proud of them, ringing the e-doorbell and running, so to speak.
These pathetic souls [and this goes for those who obscenely abuse the insufferable Coulter too] remind me of those fascist dickwads in school who adopted Nietzche, he of the Ubermensch:
“Napoleon was Nietzsche’s greatest hero, the supreme warrior, whom he thought of as having been cheated of his true destiny by petty opponents. Thus women exist, he wrote, for the “recreation of the warrior … You go to a woman? Do not forget your whip.” As Bertrand Russell remarks, however,
… nine women out of ten would get the whip away from him, and he knew it, so he kept away from women …”
Apparently, much good is coming of Imus finally crashing and burning. All in all, a down week for bullying and bluster. :sammy:
Ancient collagen—the main protein component of bone—has been extracted from the remains of a 68-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex, according to two new reports.
The new studies provide strong support for the hotly debated claims that organic material previously extracted from the T. rex’s leg bone is original dinosaur soft tissue that somehow escaped fossilization.
Now, for the first time, scientists have obtained partial protein sequences from the soft tissue remains.
“The sequences are clearly from T. rex,” said John Asara of Harvard Medical School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who led one of the studies.
In addition, both studies found similarities between the dino sample and the bone collagen of chickens, providing molecular support for the hypothesis that modern birds are descended from dinosaurs.
Until now the dino-bird connection has been entirely based on physical similarities in fossils’ body structures

This is all engineered by the White House, the DLC, and AAR to cover the Friday the 13th dump of the departure of Seder, Gonzo, and the ‘missing’ e-mails.
Notice that I got the DLC in there. I just noticed that Imus is good friends (?) with new DLC staffer, Harold Ford, Jr.
Imus has complained bitterly about a lack of support from one black politician, Harold Ford Jr., even though he strongly backed Ford’s campaign for Senate in Tennessee last year. Ford, now head of the Democratic Leadership Council, said Thursday he’ll leave it to others to decide Imus’ future.
Harold, call me.

Yeah, let me know when you’re on. It’s in real media format, just like it went out. I have skype running on a dedicated machine with a gateway so I can dial out from the phone in my house, so it’s easier to send via IM. I use GAIM and have accounts on all of them, so let me know what one and your name. The video is also on a different computer than I’m currently on.
As for running the MS show, I’m not sure I can run two instances of the ShoutCast server on one computer at the same time. I suppose I could run a different server like Icecast or something, but I also don’t have unlimited upstream bandwidth. Not that I’d imagine whole lot of people would be tuning in. But, we’ll see. There’s always thesnotgreensea for shows.

The lack of imagination-
I have an inability to find and hold down employment that I enjoy. I have a lack of imagination. I have an inability to obtain and sustain relationships, I lack imagination. Lively imaginations are an assault on the unthinking mind, which I am burdened with incessantly- lacking an imagination. I feel like I am alone with no one to share my universe. A lack of imagination is jumping off a bridge when no one is looking. A selfish assault on the frontal regions of the cortex is necessary for the unimaginative brain. Drinking whisky alone is lacking of forethought. Being unique is of only accident. I feel alone, sometimes.
Wanting attention is ubiquitous….I need
Mah fellow seditionists!
Okay, did someone ask if anyone needs a new computer? That would be me. I can’t get online at work lately because the damn Woman has been out for six weeks and I have no time. But at home I don’t have that excuse. I have, instead, the excuse that it takes ten minutes to load the blog and then it’s only that fast if I have absolutely no other windows open or functions running. I NEED A NEW COMPUTER!
But that’s not why I braved it to post tonight. I braved it to post because I’m so fucking pissed! I saw Sam on Olberman, introduced as a host on AAR. Then I get an email that Sam’s show has been canceled. All within a three hour period.
I’m going to go whine at my dog for a while now. But I wanted to share my outrage with those who will understand.
I’ll try to get back around lunchtime tomorrow if I can.
