Here goes, another edition of the talking heads. How they manage to be heard with their heads so far up their asses is beyond me. But anyways….
On Press the Meat, Timmy Potatohead hosts Retired Gen. Anthony Zinni (on to say “I told you so,”) and then it’s a roundtable on (among other things) Don Imus, with the nappy-headed ho from the NY Times, David Brooks, Gwen “The Cleaning Lady” Ifill, WSJ and CNBC stooge, John Harwood, and Eugene Robinson from the WaPost.
Over at CBS, Bush Buddy Bobby Schieffer hosts the Sultan of Snarl himself, Darth Cheney. Hey, Dick, go fuck yourself. This promises to be one vewy, vewy, scary half hour, indeed.
On Fux News Sunday, weaselface Wallace hosts Senator Carl Levin and that snivelling little bitch from South Carolina, Lil’ Lindsey Graham. Plus, Al Sharpton takes a victory lap on the corpse of Don Imus. Time to start working on the rest of these racist, homophobic, evil pieces of shit, Al.
At the Goebells network, George Snufalufagus hosts Bill Richardson (who is the only presidential candidate that doesn’t look like the Keebler® Elf who’s called for a complete withdrawal of all US forces from Iraq), PA Republican Arlen “all hat, no cattle” Specter, and, um, Rich Little? Damn, I guess he’s ready for a comeback tour. Then at the roundtable, it’s little Robbie Reich, former pentagon spokesbitch and Mary Matalin BFF, Torie Clarke, political genius Donna Brazile, and Bill Buckley wannabe, George :jerk: Will.
Wolf Blitzer serves up a Late Emission which includes Jim Webb, the evil of two lessers in Arizona, Jon “Krazy” Kyl, Former NO Mayor, Marc Morial, Amy Holmes (who used to score cats for Bill Frist), Marian Wright Edelman, president of the Children’s Defense Fund, the Prince of Darkness, Richard Perle, John “husband of the hag” Roberts, and Ted’s little girl, Andrea Koppel.
Later, on 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl asks the Duke Lacrosse players if being exonerated is better than being indicted, plus she’ll talk to North Carolina Attorney General Roy A. Cooper. Then, Mike “father of weaselface” Wallace profiled Don Imus a decade ago. Was he just as big an asshole then as he is now? Tune in to see. Plus, Bob Simon goes to a prison where inmates serving long sentences are getting a college education courtesy of Bard College.
I think I may skip the boobleheads this week (for a change), and get to work doing my taxes. Sure, they’re not due to until Tuesday, but I’m not one to put things off. Enjoy your Sunday.
Oh, by the way, looks like some interesting weather headed up and down the east coast, so everybody stay safe. And if we’re all out of commission, you folks in the rest of the world will just have to pick up the slack. And somebody go find Fred, will ya?
Morning / Evening :yinyang:
Talk about April shower! That’ll do more than water the flowers.
There must be some local election coming up here. Roads are getting fixed (with the linesw getting immediately pained, even on patched), bridges are getting painted, and the final sign, blue trucks with placards and loudspeakers are screaming chants, music and promises.
Good Night Good Day to one and all. I watched “The Wind in the Willows” last night to “leave MY thoughts behind” and to be reminded it is okay to be different, sweetly put from timid, worried Mole.
:pup: :nuts: :cat: I was called Ms. Toad and Her Wild Ride.
I was called Ms. Toad when I and certain A.A. (arrogant attitudes) were late to Dance. Me especially since I was the only one her husband — co-teacher– would dance with, but that was before wolf-time & mountain-woman in mountains Time.
:dancers: :no: :smack: :pirate: :cat: :pup: :yippee:
FRED MUST INFUSE MASS AMOUNT OF TEA :joe:
King Kong :yippee: ya better watch out… the blue trucks will get ya :rofl2: that’a a great site. :rofl2:

Were they playing “Tea for Two?”
Huge, wet, and heavy snowflakes plummeting out of the sky and smacking into the ground here right now, like little bags of wet cement. Looks like a WKRP Thanksgiving promotion.

They were having tea quite a bit on Wind in the Willows … :yippee: tea :joe: Cheers
a.i.v. I do not want to sound negative so I wouldn’t say my feelings but I would probably be growling at many for the SNOW IN APRIL :smack: :fustrate: :growl:

Its Sunday; Time for an anti-religious rant, compliments of Robyn Hitchcock:
What you call God
I call evolution
What you call Faith
I call Mom and Dad
They drive you mad
Your Mom and Dad
They’re what you had
Or never had
We Evolve in the
Cold night air
We Evolve and we
Get somewhere
What you call love
I call retribution
Banishment
For being born alive
I wish the sun
Would shine on you
And maybe I would feel it too, but
We evolve
And it breaks my heart
We evolve and we
Fall Apart
What you call Faith
I call it pollution
What you believe
Is going to kill us all
If Jesus was alive today
You would destroy him anyway
We evolve and thank
Fuck for that
We evolve. Is the
World still flat?
Sometimes my heart could burst
The Nazis got there first
We evolve. :sammy:
Good Morning :joe:
Wow CrestTwo, I was with you and was going to end in many Kudos :bow: , but the 2nd to last line stopped me cold and I just went huh :doh: and/or what did I NOT get. I tend to look tooo closely at times 🙄
a.i.v. … Midnight 8) … (loop) Red :hot: Chili Peppers
Tea :joe: Cheers… Kristapea, so when do I get even further jealous 😉 regarding Thom and Bill especially? … sigh
a.i.v. DITTO! Red :hot: C.P.

When I post the pictures, Druid :nana: 😉
kristapea:
give stephanie miller a big kiss for druid & i, ok?
Good morning. I’m headed to Jenn’s little girl’s 5th birthday party. Time does fly.
Kristapea, have a good time and hopefully you’ll have some interesting if not heartening news.
Stay safe and dry, everyone.
I dunno Roxie, Stephanie Miller is so hot I may switch sides if I do that. :hot: :hubba:
I didn’t write the Nazi line, but that’s typical Hitchcock. He doesn’t put everything on the bottom shelf for everybody to reach it.
Or maybe he needed a ryhme for “burst.”
Hey! Is it my imagination or is that “Bush is out in” clock on the right side of this blog on an endless loop? Wasn’t it 646 days two months ago?
Gwen Ifill actually is showing some moxie on MTP – She should get personally insulted by Bush and Cheney: it would do her journalistic chops a world of good. :sammy:
re 26 Nod :nod: Yaaaaaaa Steph :WET KISSSSSSSSSSS ❗ : from RoxieSeattle, Kristapea, Me, Hey Ho SBlueHeron :dancers: et tu? and … other :dancers: 😉
A.I.V. By The Way … Red :hot: Chili Peppers
:bow: cresttwo 8) Cool … just wanted to see “a bit more of your mind” 😮 😯 8) 😉
We have a growing scandal in the college student loans. It seems student loan officers happened to hold stock in student loan institutions. How did this happen? Could it have something to do with Reagan’s deregulations from the 1980s?
Deregulation was another “politically correct” smoke screen to the wealthy for “Let’s get richer.” Deregulation was predicated by self-regulation, a misnomer for no regulation.
How much more of our society has been wrecked by Republican mis-governance over the last generation? And when do we start holding these people and the beneficiaries for what they have done to the American Dream? We don’t seem to need terrorist attacking us when we have Republicans among us.
Oh hell, who writes pop songs about evolution anyway? What rhymes with “Darwin?” You don’t see Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins practicing guitar licks, do you?
How about instead of a Bush count down clock; which is phony anyway, because we know he’s going to drum up some 9-11 emergency in October 2008 and suspend the constitution, we have a Maron/Seder forecast and AAR futures market. You can list all the Maron and Seder possibilities for shows in the works and their tour appearances, along with a stock ticker setting out the ratings and susceptibility to firing of noted AAR hosts and hostesses. For example, Rachel Maddow is down 1 1/4, and is now selling at $3.45, penny stock level, while Lionel is starting off at $10.00 as an IPO. He’ll be down to $ 6.25 by weeks end.
“Man, do I miss Jim Earl”, he remarked, irrelevantly. “I think about him every time i smell french fries.” :sammy:
I think about Jim every time I chop onions 🙁 :bow:
Hey NC Blue! Good to see ya! :fist: :fire:
hey all

Excuse me but i love that firetruck. and it’s unique to this site :billcat:
But I have just angst … this has been proclaimed for many a year, a decade or two :nod: regarding The POURING RAINS (not showers) in APRIL and SNOW and Glaciers Melting and Polar Bears Dying. Now I just cry. 🙁 And try another way, since I will never say DIE
Sunshine Jim, Tea :joe: Cheers 😉

Oh!
you have tea! :joe:
i say! this is rather civilised…
don’t mind if i do, and thank you ever so much!

More sad radio news
Larry Bensky has been on KPFA and Pacifica forever. He has anchored coverage of many of the biggest moments of our lives. He will be doing the Gonzalez hearings this week. He is the epitome of what radio can be and is a model for what AAR should have been (though he doesn’t bring the funny very much). His exit and statements do not bode well for the condition of Pacifica.
KPFA!
have’nt listened for years! thanx!
Hey Jim! How’s your sunny self? 😀
A last hurrah for Bensky…
He will be doing Pacifica’s coverage of the upcoming Gonzales hearings. Listening to hearings with him is always the most satisfying conduit, especially if you don’t have the means to watch them on cable or computer. It sounds like it may only be available on KPFA and perhaps some others on the Pacifica network. It seems like the breakdown of that ‘national’ network is part of Larry’s chagrin.
eya Kristapea!
how are ya love? always nice to read yer posts!
i’m listening to KPFA and Bensky. i used to listen when i lived in Bezerkely.
i’m also making Pancakes for Bgurl and the puppers.
recovering from the Sam Shuffle…
Across the great divide!
dam that’s a great show! been years since i listened.
i play the Mandolin bluegrass style. love this opening tune!
you all have my phone number?
604 864 9649
if you live in the states or canuckistan i can call you back for a penny a minute.
Sunshine Jim,
You should just stay on KPFA for the rest of the afternoon. Mary Tilson and Ray Edlund and Tom Diamant would probably wet your bluegrass whistle. Tom started Kaleidoscope Records, first label home for David Grisman and put out Jethro Burns records and more (Tiny Moore!).
There is a mando fest here in SF this week.
Okay Jim!
Now, Maron and Seder fans must join forces in the blogosphere to fight the Bush administration. But first we must unite the Maron and Seder enities into one super power duo! :fist: :fire:
eya wvmc3d
Mando fest?!!!
bet that’s a hoot!
ya think i’ll stay with KPFA today.
sitting here remembering Oakland/Frisco adventures…
running a concert hall, building choppers, lots of great smoke and friends.
eya Kristapea!
:fist:
:fire:
right on sis!
we need to drag in the cat people, :cat: !
i’m thinking of opening a home for recovered republicans
Jim, what concert hall?
Sunshine Jim , re 52 and tea :rofl2: 😆 :rofl2: 😉 what are we drink’n instead? hmmm red wine … brandy, C.Cognac. I do not think beer … but I could start off with shots of Tequilla is the thing I do not get sick on teehee …warm margaritas ( :cold: here) ….. now you are getting me in the mood to drink, but then :doh: :omg: :alc: and who knows what else to drink 😯 😉
We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?

got the ol Gibson out
for a dance on the strings…
“weird”, my foot is tapping and I am smiling, although I have never been “Country”, but I was/is a dancer, so break out the Gibson. 😉
Did that end up being the Temple Beautiful? I was at a Neville Brothers show the night that place went up in flames :fire: . I watched the opening act and went across town to see something else for a while and when I was headed back for the Nevilles someone (actually Bonnie Simmons from KPFA) stopped me and told me of the fire :fire: :fire: :fire: next door. They re-scheduled the Nevilles a few weeks later and I went back.
In ’89, I had tix for a P-Funk show there (Fillmore) and we had the earthquake.
OMG, I am the Dan Pashman :reaper: of the Fillmore! 😮

lessee….
This should work. Nice fish.
Ha! Sunshine Jim, you look just like a VW mechanic I used to go out with in that pic! He’s kinda hardcore about the bugs and buses, won’t work on anything newer than a ’72.
Wrong! Because Nellie subscribes to the Richard Pryor philosophy of confrontation, and that’s “RUN!”
Or were you talking about her feet? :rofl2:
“Ha! Sunshine Jim, you look just like a VW mechanic I used to go out with in that pic! ”
Ha backatcha!

funny story about that i’ll tell you about some time.
howdy hoo….made it to the city and am going to the big shew…..

Comment by Kristapea — April 15, 2007 @ 5:27 pm
OK. As long as Nellie doesn’t take all her philosophy from Richard Pryor. I would hate to think of her catching herself on fire trying to light a crack pipe.
:rofl2:
Hi all. I made a recording of the Sammy Cam from Friday’s last show if anyone’s interested. Wasn’t sure if it was already available somewhere else or not but figured I’d ask.
Hey Just Wondering, I’m sure everyone would appreciate a link to Sam’s last show, and if you haven’t posted before, welcome! If you have posted before, sorry I didn’t recognise your name.
Just Wondering, there were not many on tonight but I am quite sure many would be interested, if one doesn’t have already. I am interested. But I haven’t looked to the right, yet 😉
Tea :joe: Cheers.

Attaturk snuck in a nod to Morning Sedition today as a guest blogger at Atrios’ place
http://atrios.blogspot.com/2007_04_08_atrios_archive.html#117660647170311190
Sunshine Jim, beauty stuff playing now I think I knew when, since I said that there were some beautful sounding songs I was listening to then.
” i live for the irony” :nod: 😉
Hey all, pictures up!
Well I accomplished most of my mission tonight at the novaM Birthday bash. Sorry Kevin but I did not get any pictures of me and Mama kissing, in fact, I didn’t get to even see her except in the little VIP room through several panes of glass. She must have made her appearance early and left early, because you know Mama has to go to bed at stupid o’clock and get up at insane o’clock. :yawn:
But there is quite a lot to tell, the most important of which is that i got to talk to Sheldon Drobny for quite a while and they are definitely talking to Marc AND Sam but they are giving them a break since they have both been traumatized. Sheldon was really nice and I could see that him and his wife were definitely what was so great about AAR in the beginning. They brought in all the interesting and edgy folks that Goldfuck and now the Greens have discarded. So, I am VERY heartened indeed!
Mike Malloy was SUCH a flirt! These women practically :boobs: They were all over him! He had a huge line of people that he was still talking/photographing and flirting when I left. He was amazing.
Bill and Thom were manning their books. I felt really bad about not being able to buy their books. If I had had the dough i would have because I felt embarrassed not having a book for them to sign. But I don’t really care about autographs anyways.
But I am tired from being so social. I will tell more tomorrow. :peace: :yawn:
Hey…this is great. Here is a little download for users of firefox to be able to open up IE only webpages in firefox.
