Back to the up and out of the house early on Wednesday routine for me. Even worse, I somehow managed to get myself into doing a presentation on WiFi Multimedia Power Save. Now there’s a topic guaranteed to keep the kids awake. Then I have to hustle back home to finish up a test that’s due by the end of the day today. Good thing I’m off tomorrow. Hey, if you didn’t hear it last night, Mr. Farmerkat will be reporting live from Baghdad on the Marc Maron show Thursday night – so don’t miss it!
Mr. Farmerkat :fire: alright:!: ,good luck PJ:!::!::!:
I was thinking while in the shower. Our politics in the United States has taken on a new flavor. It isn’t partisan anymore. It is now sectarian. When you consider that the rethugs have been waging war against the middle class and lower strata they have gone well beyond partisanship. The most disturbing thing about this is their most vocal supporters are the misled faux christians. Then you have to through in the poison pushers – Colter, Engram, Hannity, Limbaugh, Faux News and “Ted Baxter”.
Jeez! I used THOSE names. Now I need another shower.
Wow, PJ–that is beautiful. I think you may have missed your calling!
A Maron bit on Riley’s show! Cool! (Even if Riley isn’t there this week.)
Bush is in Wheeling WV today to continue the War Is Good tour. Bring some coal to throw.
UNITED MINE WORKERS!!!
IMPEACHMENT!!!
VIGILANCE!!!

(Speaking of which, where has druid_666 been this week?) :love:
pj does have a way with words!
at the tennis game yesterday (the team won!), a woman was reading another book by Dan Brown. I asked her if it was good. The conversation went to the da vinci code and she told me that she resisted reading it for the longest time but finally did. I said, it’s just a fun read, I enjoyed it and then she chilled out. I think she thought I was part of the thought police.
Good Morning Seditionistas :doh:
morning kp
Gee, that doesn’t sound good. I wonder if Negroponte will be coordinating them? The ‘truth squads’ will probably also set the record straight on the Earth being at the center of the universe, the world being 4,000 years old, tops, and the AAR “premium” service is worth every penny, with its cheerful customer support and money back with-a-smile guarantee.
Hey, here’s what we’re fighting for:
Man! There seems to be a whole lot of crappy filler music on Rachel’s show this morning.
Sounds like people are finally starting to understand the whole electronic voting machine scam, in both Texas and Chicago
I feel like I’m in the dentists waiting room. This is no way to keep listeners. Maybe I’ll listen to Marc’s show early today.:growl:
Georgia is behind the times with, among MANY things, the black box problem.
Hey, I thought the “premium” service WAS hunky dory – that’s what they tell me 😯
wow, the podcast is up already.
:fire:
Ya I downloaded the podcast about 15mins ago its 2:18 that sounds like about 3:20-3:30 most 3hour shows are 1:5?
Maybe the quotation marks got to them!
Hey everybody! So what time did the show start? Ive got sports and then it cut into Marc and Jim talking about Laurie David…is that what the beginning is?
The commercial cut ins were screwy last night. Jim announced The Marc Maron show and just as Marc started to talk there was a commercial break and they came back in during the opening segment. Strange. Lost dialogue. Happened again during the show.
Man, if Jason the Jew is who is doing the intros and outros, then its good that hes leaving…I wish that Pashman would go and do the board…it would be so great if Brendan would talk more and if they could get Pashman to laugh….they need some laughers…a bigger crowd.
Yeah…MR FK is gonna be on!!!
I really want him to write a book though I am afraid to hear what he has to say…(and really afraid about yugoslavia, because I was trying to not put a mental image on where my friend Tomas (a Croat) was in the mass grave. He called me from the middle of that and I was able to get some mail through but then nothing…he had been forced into the army….he was a NYC tennis ace who had survived cancer and just went back at the very begining to help his MOm and sister move to a safer place…)
But it will be so great to hear Mr on Marc’s show…I hope they hit it off and it becomes a regular thing!
OK…question for premium members…is the podcast like that? There were tons of commemrcial breaks…strange one…Im looking at it on the wavepad and no one could have done that smoothly…Marc would get one thought out and be cut off mid sentence. I dont know if there is anyone who could make a cue pattern out of what they had to do. Does Bob take the same feed that we have and edit it or does he get it without the actual commercials in there, so maybe the sentences are finished?
I hate to give them even $1.99 but….
Otherwise I am just gonna edit this as best as I can and that will be that.
The show started at 8:32 Marc says is 32after at the start!:omg:
From what I understand Bob dos all the editing he been doing for over 2 years I would bet he has so top of the line software !! There talking about some kind of automated thing that make it faster ?????
The Torrent for the 3-21-06 show is up at
http://www.mininova.org/tor/259677
Yeah there is alot on the podcast that we couldn’t hear on the stream.
He mentioned that there was a new guy Chris on the boards that I assume Jason was training.
I think Druid popped in last night and said hello.
Melina just download the torrent ezer
Ive got a glitch half way through where it goes back to Clippers basketball….does anyone else have that? IM trying to see where it ends….I saved from 10-4AM…so I should have everything…but I seem to have some loop of clippers stuck in the middle…might have to figure out the torrent and compare;-)
Not only does the podcast include the bits that were lost on the stream, it was posted before 7 a.m. EST.
Wonder if we’d be jumping the gun if we were to put our quotation marks back in our holsters.
I’m listening to the podcast. …
Yakov Schmirnov?? My dad was onstage with him in Branson! He told the best audence joke, so he got to interview Yakov while wearing a Great Karnak turban. English is not Dad’s first language, as was apparent that night, but he still upstaged Schmirnov, who was silently fuming. Go, Dad!
I killed the blog! :fustrate:
i’ll get back to work now…
You did not kill the blog, Phoener!
I just didn’t have anything clever to say about Yakov Smirnoff and then I went to lie down with Otis. (But lying on dander-filled carpet didn’t work so good for the old respiratory tract, so I’m heading up to bed!)
Hey…Ok…I got the torrent…very easy!
It went right into my ipod upon Import command!
And I also edited sam on Al yesterday and rachel from this AM (are those being posted to bit torrent?)
Back later…off to take blood, give blood and xray ribs…somehow this birthday in a few weeks thing isnt sitting right with all this sickness…like Ive reached a tipping point or something.
it was a non sequitor; no comment needed!

Good luck, Melina!
From Boston Legal:
“When the weapons of mass destruction thing turned out not to be true, I expected the American people to rise up. They didn’t. Then, when the Abu Ghraib torture thing surfaced and it was revealed that our government participated in rendition, a practice where we kidnap people and turn them over to regimes who specialize in torture, I was sure then the American people would be heard from. We stood mute.
Then came the news that we jailed thousands of so-called terrorist suspects, locked them up without the right to a trial or even the right to confront their accusers. Certainly, we would never stand for that. We did.
And now, it’s been discovered the executive branch has been conducting massive, illegal, domestic surveillance on its own citizens. You and me. And I at least consoled myself that finally, finally the American people will have had enough. Evidentially, we haven’t.
In fact, if the people of this country have spoken, the message is we’re okay with it all. Torture, warrantless search and seizure, illegal wiretappings, prison without a fair trial or any trial, war on false pretenses. We, as a citizenry, are apparently not offended.
There are no demonstrations on college campuses. In fact, there’s no clear indication that young people even seem to notice. . . .
The Secret Service can now declare free speech zones to contain, control and, in effect, criminalize protest. Stop for a second and try to fathom that. At a presidential rally, parade or appearance, if you have on a supportive t-shirt, you can be there. If you’re wearing or carrying something in protest, you can be removed.
This! In the United States of America.”
What is the best way to help New Orleans Public Library?
Monetary donations are the best way to help the library rebuild (link here to donate online). If you would rather mail your donation, please make your check payable to NOPL Foundation and send it to New Orleans Public Library Foundation, 219 Loyola Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70112.

Most college campuses are still bastions of liberalism ( except for the business schools which actually teach supply side economics and that labor is a cost of doing business ). The biggest effect of the Bush economy is in the number of jobs available for new grads and the bucks being offered for those jobs. Most new grads can expect to get paid less than they did in 2000 for the same job. I know a lot of students who couldn’t find work in 2003 – 2005 and went back to grad school and are now graduating and still can’t find work so they are moving back in with mom and dad.
The hype about shortages of qualified tech labor is a bunch of BS. The corps just say that to create an excess of grads that drives down the price of their labor. Grad students are by far the lowest cost tech slave labor on the planet.
Companies are also doing a lot of outsourcing of some of the more lucrative of the tech jobs and are laying off older employees in favor of new hires. I see a lot of MS and PHD types who are in their fifties and early 60’s that are hopping their savings will last until Social Security kicks in. Going from a 100k+ life style to subsistence living is quite some culture shock.
Speaking of screwing your workers
CHICAGO – General Motors Corp. and bankrupt former subsidiary Delphi Corp. will offer early retirement incentives to more than 125,000 factory workers, the companies said on Wednesday, after reaching a cost-cutting deal with the United Auto Workers union

melina, that’s horrible about your friend.
been washing & waxing a Briard (among other stuff) and the ticker is pooped out. Listened to last night’s show while I brushed out said dog. God I love to listen to marc’s head talk. he can cut the mustard!
mr should have a story on nightly tonight,
i have the coolest cardiologist. I’ve been emailing with him and he responds within the day and gives thoughtful intelligent answers to my questions. told him he better be around on the big day or ELSE! seems i’m in a bit of a gray area to have the new limited access surgery, so am having the full blown shit. UGHHHHHHH 😯
ok, no panic. 😮
but what about the ISSUES?
Fuck the issues!
Um, I don’t mean to change the topic, but has anyone read the Mars trilogy by kim stanley robinson? I just started the red mars book the other day; there’s a lot of words crammed in there:doh:
Oh, yeah, wait…We’re fightin’ for our lives here!:omg: WHERE ARE THE ISSUES?!:rofl2:
Travis, yeah I’ve read Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars. Good books.
Cool! I’m about 100 pgs in. The Ares just aerobraked using the Mars atmosphere or what not. Crazy.
I’m speechless!:omg:

Is Hitchens Gloating Over the Death of Tom Fox?
Killer Lies from Cheney’s Harlot
By DENNIS PERRIN
Some time ago, I ceased reading Christopher Hitchens’s output, for the very simple reason that he’s full of shit and in violent denial about it. The man has become so infantile and ridiculous that I saw no serious point in following anything else he says. Yes, some of my readers continually send me links or quotes from varied sources, asking what I think about Hitchens’s latest outburst. And I reply that I think nothing about him — that such a dynamic speaker, writer and thinker had devolved into a sputtering death-loving crank is certainly sad, especially for us who knew him back in the day, but following his toxic freak show made no sense anymore. All it did was either sicken or anger me. I’ve got enough to deal with as it is.
Well, comes the third anniversary of our ongoing destruction of Iraq, and the Hitchens links find me once again. Only this time I decide to click and read the thing. I knew what I was going to get, but for some reason, perhaps my odd present mood, I was genuinely curious. And about four or five sentences in, I not only realized that my decision to read his column was stupid and fucked up, but that Hitchens has actually gotten worse. You can decide for yourself…

the great randita forgot about mr farmerkat in iraq. :omg:
Fuck the Issues: Overthrow the status quo. Go out with a bang, not a whimper.:omg::rofl2: Outlaw billionaires!

Rendition Rumsfeld!:omg:
Randita? Are you saying he’s not on the tube today?
Randita- I don’t know what that means:doh:I heard Campbell Brown yesterday say in a program note that he would be live today, or some such.
Hey . . . I’m confused. I know there’s an extra-long show again tomorrow night, but is there a show tonight?
Yep, should be a regular show tonight.
I am out on the roads this evening and am assured wireless in my hotel near the Blue mountains.
FarmerKat – you have a lot on your plate. We are here thinking:gate::gate::gate: thoughts.
Travis looks like you have been buried in a book!:sammy:
Spokane has a decent AA station but they are playing Ed right now- ugh!:barf:
woe is me Seditionists…I have been 5 days without the funny. Listening to an old show this weekend left me in tears. I am going to read back posts while I eat my soup. 🙁 who’s chopping onions?
Fascinating conversation Randi just had with a right wing christian conservative. She did a great job discussing abortion, morality, constitution, freedom.

from the MR blog
I think Im feeling better–I get to listen live tonight and thurs :banana: I won’t miss mrkat!!
Have I told ya lately that I love you guys!!?!!:love:
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve always liked the song, but I think this is pretty frickin’ cool (Flash required).
PJ- um, yeah:nod: They have bad grammer too
What? It works for me.
OK, maybe this one is better.

Evening folks, I’m listening to the show now and it’s GRRRRRRRRREAT!:nixon: I don’t like their promo guy though, he annoys me.
i don’t know how that guy does it! (the juggler, that is)
hey sheeple whats up? im watching the kid stays in the picture i like it its good anyway ok uh yep
(Oh, and i thought laurie david was not nice to Jim at all, that’s my opinion.)
:billcat:new beast!!!!!
I agree, FK, she wasn’t. Frankly, I don’t really get the whole virtual march thing, either. Is it to raise awareness? If so, whose? Anybody who signs up to “march” is probably already aware, and anybody else probably won’t notice. Hell, they ignored (continue to ignore) millions of real, flesh and blood human beings out in the streets around the world when it came to Iraq.
A pay-per-view seance for John Lennon? That’s pretty tasteless.
PJ–I’ve always loved that song, too (the whole album, actually). Thanks for the link!
I thought the same thing about the “march.” I got email from them for a while, an awareness thing, but then nada.
btw, did anyone find out what happened to the mad cow guy? I was really looking forward to hearing that interview.
(thanks foggy!)
He was a no-show. I think the Beef Council had him whacked. Keep an eye out for bone fragments, hair, and fingernails in you hamburger.
Me too. I’d like to see im juggle to Polythene Pam. I wonder if Lennon foresaw Ann Coulter?
Well you should see Polythene Ann
She’s so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Ann
Yeah yeah yeah
Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She’s killer-diller when she’s dressed to the ‘ilt
She’s the kind of a girl that makes the “News of the World”
Yes you could say she was attractively built
Yeah yeah yeah
Hey–I did sign the march thing-but no email-whatever.
Before that fateful day that DG took my radio show away I did nothing but ebay and research on the PC–I still blush when I post:oops:
EEEWUUUU!
oh wow i love john lennon how much is it?
OH..that is one of my favorite albums
whoa:shock: maybe imagine is gonna come true too!!!!!:banana:
Awesome!!! I’ll be listening on podcast….
Chris Bliss has been on AAR Phx many times, does he live here or something?? That video is so mesmerizing 😮
When is your surgery FK?
but if you wait until you die, you might see John Lennon for FREE. :priest:
hi becky!
Sister Tea, keep on blushing, you’re doing great!
kristapea – the third.
but im young i dont wanna wait that long!
Hi, Kat! I’ve been thinking about you….
What time on the third?
Thanks Farmerkat–I seem to get my computer time when no one is here.
One day when I’m here all alone, I’ll just let out with a big long rant–so don’t be scared!!
hey this is funny!
thanks, beck
:cry:im ronery so ronery!
I’m listening to Lieberman (crooks & liers has it
go to the right of the wtic page http://wtic.com/ and click on the audio of:
http://wtic.com/content_page.php…4&contentId=269
Bruce and Colin with US Senator Joe Lieberman
the a-hole rails on democrats at one point. he sounds rather nuts
Yes–we will all send our prayers and/or positive thoughts to get you thru your surgery and recovery time Farmerkat.
Sean-is that to the tune of I’m Sorry ?
Hey, have you heard the new song from the upcoming Dixie Chicks album? You can hear it for free online, but it addresses the backlash they got over the dubya flap. In part:
yep yep!
Goddamn, Lieberman’s a friggin’ asshole. I wish I could reach out and smack him.
yeah, he’s sounding very zell-like. i think he’s got a touch of the mad cow.
I think it’s the mad pig, and he’s not only got neurological damage, but he’s suffering from extreme guilt for not keeping kosher. Plus I hear Hadassah smacks him around some.
Thanks for that link, Patrick. I like the Dixie Chicks a bunch.
Kat, I’m going to call you on my shiny cellphone in the next few days and get the latest on your upcoming “medical procedure.” I’ll be out of town for the actual surgery, I’m thinking, but want to come visit you as soon as I’m back.
OK, it’s past my bedtime so good night, all!
sweet dreams, Becky!
you know where to find me 😮
==> # 107 :rofl2:
i better hit the bed, too (my palm tree is calling me; seaniesean, you have to get a palm for your cab!!!)
I’ll dream of my morning podcast,,,,, :gate:
huh what do i need a palm for?
is it some kind of feng shui thing?:jerk:
Ugh…Lieberman…I have hated him since he ran for vice-president. I thought he made all jews look bad with his overly pious walking here and there on the weekend….
and now that he has fully become a republican…damn…he is just over the edge. You should hear Chris Shays talk about what great friends they are…ick….
Everyone hates him…I know personally of alot of people aorund here who always voted for him but dont feel like they can this time round. Im just unsure at this point because we need that seat….
He is such a fuck!
Im not wild about the Dixie Chick’s overproduction…they used to be so great but now they sorta hurt my ears.
yep yep and my congressman is a fuck too!
Target Manana!:omg:
:jason:Outsourcing!:jesus:
Have a great show everyone…Ive got to lay down…
It was so great to have so much Marc today! Absolutely great! It reminded me of the old MS days driving round listening to Marc and laughing…
Well, my eyes are closing…
nite
Nightie-nite, y’all.
Then there is the Chris Bliss Diss as mentioned on the Penn Jillette radio show:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=QYUXaYCkv-A&search=jason%20garfield
I think Chris Bliss should be the spokesman for Swiss Miss.
Oh, no! Not Rudy!!
Can’t Rudy just emulate his hero, Henry the K, and feed at the public trough and feel oh so important?
hey im out sheeple trucks loaded laters!:fire:
Hi, y’all, who may still be up and about!
SeanieSean, I got *2* dumnfuck Senators and a DINO congresswoman. Try living in Pennsylvania sometime. Argh.
And now, I’m going to bed. I’ll listen to the podcast in the morning.:yawn:
Looks like the show will be on time tonight. No game.
hey phoener i own a cemetery in pennsylvania wanna bury em!
