A busy Monday in store for me. Have to cut the grass before it gets too long for me to push my way through it (I’d hate to have to resort to the carbon-emitting power mower). Then I need to bottle a batch of beer, and brew up a new one. And take the dog out for his daily romp, of course. Then, um, let’s see…. I guess that’s about it. I better get busy.
:pirate: i be number one!!!!! ok im off to the ferry later sheeple!
Microsoft says open source violates 235 patents

OpenOffice.org is accused of infringing 45, along with 83 more in other free and open-source programs, according to Fortune.

“This is Lionel. One name. Like God.”
This asshole REALLY wants me to not listen to his show, apparently.
Boy after my Dell support day yesterday Im pretty pissed at microsoft.
They seem to purposely design certain things to not function with some very, very popular programs….
and there is a big problem with Google Desktop in slowing things down and causing conflicts.
Dell is also shipping P-cillin this year (they seem to switch alot) which is causing all sorts of problems with numerous dell models…
Its so crazy to get a Dell tech who actually knows stuff and is just telling you to take out this and that and put in all this freeware that is just “lighter” on the system….
so, in case anyone didnt know…there is this on the 20th in SF…with an early cocktail party included…sounds very nice.
the cocktail party, I mean….maybe that was in the description all the time, but I hadnt seen it.
This is the day that AAR 2.1 gets its official start and Im still wondering if RoF is gonna continue….
oh,,,I guess its another week till aar 2.1, huh?
Who is on for Sam this wk?…I have only heard a little rachel in such a long time….
My Mom is assuring me that Lionel is all that bad…but I just cant imagine…
Maybe I would be able to grow to like him if there was a signal here in the car, but Im certianly no gonna get sattelite for that…and I wouldntbother with podcasting that.

I no longer like Cenk, and never Ben.
Bill Press well, he’s quickly Waning …
Do I have to listen to NPR :smack: 😯
ARREST ❗ IMPEACH ❗ then V ❗

druid: why don;t you like cenk now?
melina: trust me, you’re gonna hate him :barf: !
Cenk said he might or could vote for Romney (sp)
— voting for ANY RETHUG IS :fu:
a.i.v…. even Press is being on romney side 😮 all is fair but we dems have to keep “clean: 🙄
As far as I know Melina, Lionel starts today, I don’t know if everything else changes over as well. I think in the interest of being progressive I’ll give lionel maybe five minutes, but if his promo’s are any indication he’s a total smacked ass.
I am going to listen to Lionel, since I have this “strange” conservative side… I call a “true” conservative … ie Entropy
a.i.v. … plus i can get “a DLC” and Centerists Arrogant Attitude check “where” WTF they are going?…
druid:
are you sure? i think maybe he said romney’s being mormon was not a reason to vote against him. i wasn’t listening too closely but i do think that he said bloomberg/hagel would be a good ticket for the publicans, but that hagel would be in charge of foreign affairs for good or ill. i’m not sure tho about any of this. i’m at work and only half listening.
Dear God!
MURFREESBORO, Tennessee (AP) — Staff members of an elementary school staged a fictitious gun attack on students during a class trip, telling them it was not a drill as the children cried and hid under tables.
Roxie, Not important except nowhere left to listen (I think) — if rethugs are worth a thought.
Cenk was a Republican, then changed, so for him to be , I believe … as a “fair weather” “dem” warrants my watching and possible non-trusting thus are not necessary (in my belief) and drives me :nuts: (nuts) then he said “i would vote for… bloomberg/hagel ” , I believe he actually said ….ie rethugs… :fustrate: … press is blowing it 😮 😯 🙄 :no:

Oh, Steph on with Li onel in background :yippee:

but whew , then i saw Just kidding. :sammy: :growl: :nod: … a.i.v.
Thanks for the SF advisory, Melina. I did not see or get this anywhere. Perhaps it is on MySpace. I will have to make sure ex-ny’-er knows it.
Enjoy some Lionel for we, the deprived. As I said last week, it looks like they dumped him locally.
Ah, screw AAR. Listening to Dewey Hopper do the news makes NovaM a better choice, all by itself. The rest is gravy.
Aw, cheezes, you made me look. I hate lionel already. And it makes it worse that the *ing AAR lame website still has Seder on the stream console.
AAR 2.0 indeed.
so has everyone but me experienced the fabulous new lionel show? i’ve heard him several times (but not for long) on his saturday nite show which the local prog-stat carries. i’m sure he won’t be much better in the morning…WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???
steph and chris (of the quite lovely cheekbones) and voice diety jim are looking better and better to me.
dru, did you catch steph’s show on msnbc? the mooks looked quite different than i had pictured them.
naw, Roxie, but I did get to see her and Press and “the rest” from NovaM — I was able to get on (whatever 🙄 ) U-Tube.
She is what I expected, except she looked bad on Y-Tube or whatever Tube. :smack: … a.i.v.
The Rave Reviews Are In!

If Mark Green was a president, he’d be W.
If Mark Green was a State, he’d be Samoa.
If Mark Green was a flavor of jelly bean, he’d be popcorn.
No, make that bauxite. :sammy:
i see lionel
is up to the same tricks.
he gets a caller, does’nt hear em out, disconnects them
and uses what they say to launch into his own rant.
no effort to two way. SNAFU to the max.
cresttwo,
Popcorn is my favorite JellyBelly flavor. The first one I had made me gag but I was just surprised. Please don’t tell me it was reagan’s favorite flavor.
Is this what Air America is supposed to be about? How about this- we just firebomb the tattered remains of Air America that have been left by possibly the most incompetent media management the world has seen outside of WKRP in Cincinnati. Raze it to the ground and put it out of its misery.
Hey, wait a minute. Leave the Big Guy out of this. It’s not his fault that his mother is an overbearing egomaniac. Although in terms of radio management, I’d take Mama Carlson over Green any day of the week.
In Mark Green’s WKRP, Dr. Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap have been sent into exile. Jennifer and Bailey are both temping elsewhere, and only Herb Tarlek remains to sell advertising for a station that chose to reject its core audience.
I’d probably have to go with News Daddy over Les Nessman, but I’m deferring final judgment until I hear Wayne do a hog report.
:rofl2:
Current users online: 1
I’m guessing that would be me.
On the bright side, the smoke from the wildfires has been almost a non-factor today, and it started raining about an hour ago. Not torrents, but enough to wash the rest of the smoke out of the air. Good deal.
just saw pix of the griffith park fire!
whoa!
what’s left?
Vernon, honest to g*d, I was really trying to find just one person who liked popcorn flavored jelly beans. I’ve never met one, even amongst rapid popcorn lovers. As I typed it, I thought that one such person just had to be out there. I don’t know about Reagan’s tastes, or the Beatles for that matter [old timers will remember that in the early days the fans pelted them with jelly beans, or as they’re called in Britain, “jelly babies.].
I’ll fight to the death for your right to like popcorn flavor. Now I can rest easy.
Still can’t find a fan for bauxite-flavor, though, can you? Oh, wait a minute. Mark Green loves them, apparently. :sammy:
So sad about Lionel…I was listening for a few secs in the car before the signal got swallowed by static and I thought it was that other guy who was filling in before last week…not the better guy…whatever…
This is a crime…
Im gonna write a letter..I canceled my premium, and I cant imagine that this is gonna stand…but, oh well…thats showbiz and politics…
Deja-Vu but change a gold for a green, $ is $
Lionel is on in that time slot that a lot of the AAR affiliate stations have their own programming in so his presence is probably not going to change a lot of listeners habits .
In many markets it would seem that the farther to the left the bigger the audience ..but then .. there is the Fat Heady phenomenon .. Fat Heady is certainly not the LimpPrick of the left but he is not likely to make people think about what is happening to facilitate any change either. :reaper: :reaper:
When I go to the J&P meetings it would seem that left sided radio is not satisfying much of the needs of that group of people,,
They found raving againsr the Bushsheviks was ok for a while but we all now know they are sociopathic idiots so now what ?? .
We elected democrats to congress but the system is obviously broken so still nothing happens so now what ?? ,
We see the democratic presidential front runners to be elitists and almost as sociopathic as the rethugs so now what ??
:gate: :omg: :jason: :jason: :fist:
One thing that left wing radio did was that it showed our government as designed is run by the elitists, for the elitists at the expense of the peons.. not much different from France in lets say 1780 .. The powers to be wouldn’t want to have what happened there happen here would they ?? :gate: :omg: :jason: :jason: :fist:
Bill Lederer in his book A Nation of Sheep published in the late 1950’s points out that Americans seek stability hence we see the rise of Fundy religion and the rethug party both of which provide absolutes ..The bible is the way it happened and creating an atmosphere of fear and prejudice in which the government tells you what to believe is right . People fear change .. hence no change is best :reaper: :reaper:
And .. I would think that pop corn itself would be better for you than pop corn flavored jelly beans :reaper: :reaper:
Corn at least has fiber :tongue:
In any case consider that the left sided media reaches probably less than 20% of the people with the M$M reaching another 60% and with 20% being reached by nothing at all. :reaper: :reaper:
If gypsy doesn’t help, I will be working on popcorn flavor JellyBelly oat bran muffins in the next few days.
Well .. just substitute the two cups of sugar in the recipe for two cups of pop corn jelly beans and you should be on your way.. sugar is bad for you :reaper: :reaper:
I’ve heard Lionel a couple of times at night. I thought he was a good match for the time slot. He’d go on about something, often a legal issue, and he was interesting without being exciting. I heard a little bit today and he was awful, talking about some radio guys. Utterly vapid, inane, stooopid. Yuck!
But, left radio is important because it does talk about the other side. It is a counter to Fox etc. It does spread info to lefties around the country.
It’s too bad that the left is so set that it’s gotta be a big money maker. Fox lost money for years. The new York Post loses millions every year and always has.
AAR was never given time to grow. It kept changing every time they thought there was a promise of money.
Once again capitalism proves to be 👿
Gazing into the eyes of an albino alligator is supposed to bring good luck, so head down to Knoxville Tenn. where there is just such an alligator.
Of course gazing into any alligators eyes may not really turn out so lucky. This one’s in a zoo.

Ho ho Blogarino’s! I have to pull out Louie Nye every once in a while.

From the Sam:
“May 14, 2007
Wednesday
Is the launch date for the new blog! What we have now will not go away. However, there will also be a “diary” type section where if you register with the site you will be able to post your own stories. And more, we will begin to offer audio, video and audio blogs from various special guests.
I spent the day (actually the past two weeks) building Honeydo Farms. Pics to follow.”
A-mann you deserve it for the Nye reference alone.
Are you nervous?
Thanks everyone, sorry Heroes was on so I left the computer. I suppose I’m a little nervous, though I think the bulk of this is going to be pounding on doors and drumming up support and organizing the Dem’s in this neck of the woods. For example: we haven’t had a Democratic judge in over 160 years.
PS I meant to type hi ho.
Funniest bit in a while. Randi dumped frequent caller “Michael from Brooklyn” on today’s show.
R.R: “Did you call Thom Hartmann earlier today?”
“Huh? Yes, I spoke to him earlier.”
R.R: “Can you try to keep at least 30 days between calls? Hit the dump button, please”.

Thinking of Seanie busting out of Newfieland and deciding the album of the day is John Wesley Harding by Scary Guitar Guy. poof
Just got back from Taos and I posted a few pictures. So beautiful! We visited an organic farm where the people pretty much sustain themselves on what they grow and raise themselves. They don’t buy anything from the grocery store except toothpaste! Maybe toilet paper too, I should have asked about that.
