I was watching this movie called “The Dish” last night. It’s about this little town in Australia (filled with colorful Australian characters) that had a big ass dish antenna that became part of the Apollo 11 mission. They showed the launch of Apollo 11, and everybody around the world was watching. There was this geeky kid who knew what every second of the countdown meant (that’d be me; back in the day, I knew everything there was to know about the space program – especially Apollo). Anyhow, watching that launch again brought tears to my eyes, and a lump to my throat. I don’t know if you guys remember that time, but back then we were the good guys, and everything was possible, and for the first time humans saw the world as a shiny blue and white marble off in the distance. For a very brief time, we – the whole world – were all together. Plus, the music was a hell of a lot better. I miss those days. It’s a shame how far we’ve fallen. I hope we can get back to something like that again, some day.
Wow! First!
Anyone else finding that AAR’s site doesn’t come up this morning?
Works for me.
airamericaradio.com doesn’t seem to work, but airamerica.com does.
A A Radio dot com worked for me.
B@B- thanks for finding the great piece by “Driftglass”. I hope Druid reads it. I’m not down with the Dowd snarkiness (or whatever that is) but I agree that ‘Bama is a gentleman (in a good sense) and that Hillary isn’t going to get the nomination for (take a number) reasons.
Good morning all. My start time changes from 7 AM to 8 AM effective next Monday, so I guess my alpha days will become fewer. I’ll post later concerning how not to manage a department. Like after I get home, so I don’t get caught discussing it at work.
😐

Good morning. :joe: :joe: Today should prove to be one of ordinary problems, I hope. No congressman and entourage.
Congressman Weiner didn’t impress my boss. She thought he was very self absorbed and not much of a listener. How strange for a politician.
Have a good one!
Neither airmericaradio nor airamerica works for me. Last night, I woke up sometime in the wee hours and tried to listen to AAR, and all I got was “problem loading page.”
Artnorton, I NEVER have Time to go there …I have many other places I go to ….. So What’s The Facts other than one’s own opinion?A!I!V! …plus The Computer Says No …Much 😉
It took Me FOREVER to POST :smack: :fustrate: :doh: 🙄 AGAIN! …….. Time For More Tea :pirate: :yippee: …
BTW :pirate: :yippee:
I would NEVER call Obama “a gentleman”. A!I!V!
Kevin, I Hope You Are ALPHA throughout the week, since YOU ARE ALPHA GRRR :growl: 😉 :dancers: :hubba: …. :fist: A!I!V!
Also, SUE P. May You Have A :yawn: boring day :banana: 😉 …
Slate even makes constant fun of the Obama Cult.
He (Slate) & Bill makes fun of the media bias towards Obama,
Michelle Obama, and Obama followers.
Artnorton, will check back 😉 *poof*
Chris Dodd endorses, will campaign for Obama.
I wanna see obama out in a shriners parade wearing a little fez, blowing a big red horn and doing syncronized miniture motorcycle routines. Hillary can jump out ot the cake at the end. :doh: :billcat:
He better salute the goddamn flag, that’s all I can say. :tap:
Ah, Sam for Randi. So much more pleasant to listen to than Randi for Randi.
Another exciting start to this week’s Maron v. Seder.
Well, too stuttery and broken up – at least from here – today, so I guess I have to give up. Be tough for me to justify paying for this, if they ever go ‘premium.’
Man, the sound is waaaay off.
Not the sound but the synch between the screens. Seems like it’s as much as 5-10 minutes off.
I can’t figure out this AIM thing. I think I downloaded it but I just have a VLC player. WTF am I spose to do with that?
:no: Tacky Artnorton re 13 … a bit sexist I would say and anti-Hillary Health Care …. wow
It’s probably good you’re not watching, PJ, Marc is yelling a lot again.
KP, you don’t actually need to download anything. Go here and set up an AIM screen name. Then you can just add it to your gmail chat.
Of course, if you want to download the AIM client, you can do that, too. For Mac, it’s here.
:fist: :pirate:
:love: :banana: :40:
Yeah, I’ll just listen to Sammy from last night. NovaM was AFU last night, I guess. Got 30 minutes of Malloy, and 520 minutes (and 90 MB) of some weird noise instead of Jeff.
Hey there, QG. LTNS.
hey PJ!! glad to see the blog’s still going strong :banana:
hey, does anyone have an IMAX movie near them? if you do, go see Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs….and under the Roto Artists…..look for my name!!! :banana: :doh: :hubba:
oh, the movie comes out March 14th BTW
no i don’t have anywhere here hahaha :rofl2: BUT
* quietgirl TRES 8) :dancers: :pirate: :yippee: … :fist: A!!I!V!
awww..that sucks :fustrate:
but thanks Druid!! :love: **hugs**
Oh, cool. We have an IMAX here. One of the dome ones (way cool). I’ll keep an eye out.
woo hoo!! :fist: :nixon:
hey, this is an odd question, but does anyone know the name of that “elevator-like-song” that Sammy was playing today?
Man, the sound is waaaay off.
As long as the lips move when the sound comes out we are okay.
Enjoyed this over the weekend:
Echoing Edwards
I still prfer Richardson and Edwards, in that order.
qg, I believe it was an instrumental version of “Tie a yellow ribbon”.
Kp, I have AIM on my iMac which I am now relegated to using since my re-install of XP has been a disaster.
Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on Monday endorsed a proposed Colorado Human Life Amendment that would define personhood as a fertilized egg
I still have my Jesse Helms’ chicken shirt. Helms was the loudest mouth for the egg as person crowd, calling the fetus preborn and always referring to it as a baby.
So, this predead person, me, made a t-shirt with a big egg in the middle and the words “The Jesse Helms’ Chicken” above it. I wore it to many a protest.
Attorneys for imprisoned former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman on Monday called for a special prosecutor after a key government witness claimed that he was forced to write out his testimony to get his story straight.
Vince Kilborn, an attorney for Siegelman who contends Republican politics was behind the Democrat’s prosecution, said the defense was never told of any written notes by Nick Bailey, a former Siegelman aide whose testimony was crucial to the government.

vernon!! that’s it! :banana: :rofl2:
aww, thank you so much! i want to put that on my website somewhere….maybe as background music while my page is loading :doh:
closest I can come to a version so far is Lawrence Welk. Maybe I will IM Sam when he’s doing Randi today.
WFI…
i found one from Ray Coniff, but the quality sucks :fustrate:
Save up to 29% or more …
With marketing like that I don’t wonder that Circuit City is in trouble. “Up to X. Or more!”
The other bad English phrase that irks me is “an average of 2 to 4…” I hear this from so-called reporters. People, if you listened in remedial math you learned that an average is a hard number, not a friggin’ range of numbers.
And no one can figure out why the U.S. economy is tanking.
re:41
:rofl2: :rofl2: :smack:
I hate CC ever since they outsourced all those jobs to the US.
re 41 :nod: … also DITTO re 42 :rofl2: 😆 :rofl2:

I’m itching to reply to your #39, Vernon, since I know you’re waiting for it, but I’ll leave it for Kevin.
C’mon, Man, you know what I mean, when he’s on Randi today.
WFI…
Ha!! :rofl2:
Oh, if we hear from Kevin, that is:
Man, it’s been snowing like a bastid all day. Could be a tough ride home (and I’m only two minutes away).
So is everyone here into Liquid Coal?
I, for one, am not.
Getting off of foreign oil imports and.. at the same time drastically cutting CO2 emissions will require something like the Manhattan project . Most of these alternate energy programs just repalce CO2 from oil with CO2 from something else.. Maybe China will have to pioneer our future for us.. The IDIOT MORONS we elect to office will never figure out what is going one before Kevin finds himself thirty feet under watter. :reaper: :reaper:

First things first. If Sam is going to be doing Randi, he’ll need MUCH better music than Lawrence Welk. I recommend Massive Attack’s CD Mezzanine. And a Stephanie-Miller-sized box of wine for Randi wouldn’t hurt either.
:rofl2:
Secondly, the designated pervert appreciates the concern. But it looks like the really nasty weather is going north of the bay area, at least for now. We’re supposed to get some T-storms later tonight, but at the moment it’s just really clouded over and windy.
Of course, the weather could turn at any moment and knock out the power in the middle of my post, so I’d better wrap it up bef
Okay, I got the screen name how do I get on the chat? Is there a place on the site? I’m confused!
Druid- no offense meant. ‘bama can jump out of the cake- Hillary can drive the little motorcycle and wear the fez. It’s all a bad day at the circus. :smack:
Just found out that I barely passed my chem. exam with a 76%.
Still another exam left before the final in that class. Makes me a little sick. :barf:
Just want to get all of this school pressure over with and go see imax movies downtown at the science center without having panic attacks.
ugh. math exam tomorrow :doh:
Oh Travis, I feel your pain! When your studying real hard, do you find that sometimes you start thinking about sex and YOU CAN’T STOP? :boobs:
Any mp3 from maron v seder today?
Hey, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, was that the lady that Maron interviewed in the tub?
Hey, Maronisti….Hoffmania is doing a live debate chat tonight, so rather than hold a competing one, let’s just crash that party. Here’s the linky.
artnorton, :pirate: :yippee: 😉 8) … A!I!V!
Travis, ahhh the bloody “books” blues …Great Luck 🙄 :knit: /|\
Kristapea , re 59 :rofl2: :nod: :rofl2: :boobs: shhhhh LOL
ya didn’t hear that Travis :rofl2: 😉 Now Get To Work :doh: 😉
:spank:
Oh man, Peter Frampton is doing Geico commercials :smack: 😕
I think I saw pj doing a beer commercial 😮 …., there’s a forty something guy in an orange Syracuse hoodie wiping the foam off of another guy’s mustache :rofl2:
