Okay, so is this the week we get an official start date for the Marc Maron Show? Is the 27-28 date on Jim Earl’s website for real (not suggesting that his big page-o-crap is full-o-crap or anything)? Hey, Kent Jones and Marc Maron have stopped by to say hello, why hasn’t Jim? Too good for us, Earl? Or are your wrists just broken from that ignominious tree house incident? Whatever it is, we can’t wait for all those voices in your head to get loose again.
UPDATE: New e-mail from Marc:
Has anyone seen my grey and white cat?
Gang of Folks-
Coupla things. Sorry to all who received a Randi Rhodes mailing and hold me responsible for giving away their e-mail address. Here’s the scoop-I am transitioning into a new web site that will be managed by the AAR team. The have my mailing list and accidentally hit send to all lists on the last Randi mailing. Her team does not have the list. This is what I have been told.
Secondly-I should be able to tell you definitely when the show will launch this week. If everything goes as planned, it should be next Tuesday. Let’s hold out on our excitement until I’m sitting in the studio with my cans on and a mic in my face.
Thirdly-Some people are asking how they get the CD. At the website. www.marcmaron.com hit the shop thingy.
Fourthly-One of my cats is missing. Sad day.

Did Marc and Kent really stop by here? :banana:
Wow, I’m first. That doesn’t happen very often! :40:
Point me to when Marc was here!! I wanna see what he had to say or did he just lurk? :rofl2:
Okay, so nobody is here. Let me tell you about my weekend. I lost two of my favorite students. Two little boys Takeru, and Iori. They’re twins “futago”. It sucks! They were great kids! They’re leaving because the school I work for is jackin’ up the prices. I hate money! :fu:
:gate:
Hi Jason. Marc’s post that I am aware of was #233 on Thursday and it was reposted the next morning as #1. I think Kent posted that next morning after the end of MS. If you didn’t see it, check out post #165, also on Thursday.
Hey isi! I just saw it. For some reason it was on my site’s site meter. I don’t know how that happened. Well anyway, that’s pretty damn cool! Do you know who did the painting?
Dude, I’m a little fucked up, too. I just watched ‘The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill’. Goddamn birds makin’ me tear up. Um, anyway…:doh:
Since it was the first time Marc had written on a blog I wonder if he was wearing his “genital mit?” :rofl2::jerk:
Oh, here we go. Check it
Hey man! I don’t know that. Is it a film, a documentary? Dude, I tear up all the times. I watched Walk the Line the other night and was boo-hooing all over the place..
:-(:cry:
Man, wanna see a real tear jerker? Osama
Osama? What? Let me go look it up.
There you go
:growl: bush & all his adm :spank:
ARREST:!:
IMPEACHMENT:!:(thx to KevinM)
VIGILANCE:!:
:fire:
Ok. Some girl, whose husband and brother have been killed by the Taliban, is disguised as a boy to survive in Afghanistan, or something.
Probably the film that brings the most tears to me without failure is Harold and Maude. Man…that is get out the tissues film!
You gotta watch it Travis. It’s really incredible…
yeah, yeah, I’ll check it.
No, the girl that is disguised as a boy is 12 years old and she does so, so she can earn money for her Mother and Grandmother.
Do you know who did the painting?
I think pj took a picture of Saint Sharbel, Maronite and magically turned it into Brother Marc.:grin:
I just checked and I can rent a copy of “The Wild Parrots”. However, “Osama” sounds way too sad. I think I’ll skip that. Speaking of crying during movies, did you all see “The Notebook”?
How are your ears man? Any better?
No, I haven’t seen the Notebook. What is it?
That’s kind of a funny question or rather it’s funny you should ask. My ears actually hear better than before the surgery, I think. But, now, I hear the fridge running, the neighbor’s fan, the computer’s fan, friggin’ planes:mad:…All in all it’s good though:ear:
I just looked it up. Sounds good. I love Gena Rowlands ever since Gloria…one of my Mother’s favorite films
Travis, can you listen to audio on your computer yet?
The movie “Notebook” starts with a man reading a love story from a notebook to a woman in a nursing home who has alzheimer’s. That’s all I will say. Don’t want to give away the plot. The picture on the front of the DVD is cheesy, and really is no indication of the quality of the film.
Yeah, I have one of those tapes that has a cord connected to it, that I can plug into the computer’s AV and play stuff on a cassette player. It’s cheesy, but it gets me by.
That’s good to hear about your ears, Travis! I was wondering because you said you still had holes in your ear drum 😯
ISI, we had the same vibe goin’. Cheesy!!:shock:

Travis, as Tom T would say, Rod Serling time!
Well, if you’re interested I put up one of my songs on my site I wrote a while back. Let me know what you think. Little Red Wagons
Yeah Travis, that’s funny that you have that Rod Serling opening on your profile…perfect! :nod:
Dude, Jason! How did you do that? Is that all produced from your computer or what? Yeah, man, that’s cool!:nod:
Thanks, Druid and isi, about the ole ears.
Thanks man, there is more. I’ll leak them in the future. Yeah, I record right here in my bedroom.
Maddow just said “They stole my shoe!”:fire:
Does anyone here know if Tom T knows about the Maron post here? If not, I’ll contact him…:fist::gate:
well, I’m gettin’ pretty tired, so I’ll catch up you all later.
Yeah, that Rod Serling clip. Check it
Crazy, crazy times:billcat:Later Sheeple
travisdem_04 Yea, cause like Isi, the holes in your ear drum was last I heard — so yea may you hear the “fridge” always :banana:
I was going to see the parrot movie, since I heard it was wonderfully done. I saw an hour long special regarding the parrots and the movie. I wanted to see it but I am afraid it may have a sad ending — which would affect me too much since it has to do with birds (or if it had to do with animals of any kind).
Isi cheers 😉
JASONWKINNEY It was beautifully haunting. I had to hear it a several times since it just echo’d my mood.

Good evening :yinyang: morning everyone.
Thanks for thinking of me Jason (and isi). Yup, I did see Marc’s post (and didn’t fail to notice the cheesy Rod Serling moment when it happened above either).
If ever PJ decides to put up a “Top Lurkers” list, I’ll be a shoo-in for the top spot.
Thanks A lot Druid! :love:
The Lurker extraordinare! Tom T! How are ya’? Have you been doin’ the dishes again? (Inside joke):alc:
It’s no joke buddy – they’re downstairs waiting for me as I type this.
I miss doing the dishes to Rachel’s 37 minute podcast.
So the show is suppose to be on 10:00 PM Cali time. That’s like what 1:00 pm for us Tom T? Man, now I gotta podcast to listen
Well we’ll have to get together again for another sedition night out. My schedule is changing in March. I’ll have two days off for now on…Wooo-hhooooo! 😆
Has Kong been around? That’d be intersting, a kong emoticon. How about personalized emoticons? How about that? Like, King Kong could have “King Kong” What would you all have? I think Sean is the Fist. Nicki is that guy screaming, Gaijinda has to be the Shrine…Gypsy should get a menu or food…NC: a bottle of wine, the list could go on and on…
I’ll shut up now..sorry 😳
morning, playng ketchup reading past posts.
hey, did kent actually post something? i can’t find it. could one of you blog meisters point me to it?
Hey all….wait-KENT posted too? Woohoo! :gate:
Jason, sorry about having to say goodbye to two of your students. 🙁
I think Kent posted on the first weekend (something like December 17th or 18th). And yes, it does scare me too that I actually know that.
Yup – it was the 17th, #2.
Now I’m off to tuck “Buddy” into bed.
wow….tom that’s somewhat OCD that you can recall that Kent posted that long ago. 😮
Don’t quit your “lurking” day job! 😉
ha! thanks, tom! maybe I should lurk more than post and then i wouldn’t miss anything! :billcat:
Thanks isi, happens all the time when you’re an ESL teacher. You really do gain an emotional attachment to your students. Unfortunately the parent and the school system don’t seem to recognize that…
Hey Tom and Jason…just wanted to let you know that I’m well on my way to becoming a “lifer” too. I just signed my re-contracting paperwork so I’ll be here in Shizuoka for another year! Plus, my boyfriend is moving out here in June and will be living in Machida! We will definitely have to get together again! 🙂
oh this is bad. after reading kent’s post, I remembered reading it before. Oh my, I’m losing it, seditionists. 😳
Gaijinda! I think you are starting your own initiation into the “Old Guard”….I think I smell a House Party brewing! :banana:
congratulations on your new contract, Gaijinda!
House party! :rofl2: Sounds good! 🙂 I hope there’s no hazing involved into the initiation! :alc:
Thanks Farmerkat! I’m starting to think I’m a permanent ex-pat. What started as 1 year has now become 3….maybe more??? :omg:
That was a really nice tune Jason. Reminded me of Giant Sand or Friends of Dean Martinez, a couple of bands from Tucson.
Good morning/evening everybody!
Still cant talk…still sick as a dog…with dogs laying on me and the laptop here.
Jason…great song. Youve got a great voice. Have you got a page of these or what? Spill!
The parrots are so persistent. We have a ton of them here though they are slightly different in that they have, I think, green beaks…? Anyway, after all the wrangling between the animal activists and the city the nests that they build in the light towers over the ball fields in the park were dissembled. These nests are made of sticks and are huge warrens of tunnels…some of them are hundreds of pounds and they are a danger to the lights and in that the poles arent designed for the extra weight. So the poor worker guys, with protesters, go and take these huge, bird crappy nests down. And the parrots, hundreds of ’em, fly to a nearby tree to watch. Then the guys put up this heavy mesh wire to keep ’em off the poles. As soon as the guys leave the parrots set about taking the mesh wire down, which they accomplish in about half and hour…then they rebuild. This is happening all up and down the coast of CT. I know that its a different breed, but they were something that was released accidentally or as a pet someone didnt want, and they just adapted and flourished. My Mom loves them!
I also saw some documentary and read a huge part of the book online about the Telegraph Hill ones…Its so cool when nature fights back and wins a little.
I dont think that the city guys can kill them because of the animal rights activists round here…
I think that have to accomodate them with a stronger pole and a platform or some such.
Same thing with the Hawk in NYC…Grey Male? I think that they had to finally make him a platform.
Ive just entered the bird world with the addition of Bruce the canary (pic on ripcoco)…Ive always thought birds were too dirty and noisy, which may be true, but I wanted to try one and I really liked this one. He sings beautiflly.
If I could figure out how to record and edit MP3’s I would make a song of Bruce.
wonder how this will play out:
US issues aid warning to Iraqis
The US has threatened to cut aid to Iraq if the new government includes politicians with a sectarian bias.
US ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad was speaking after talks to form a new government faltered over divisions between Shias, Sunni Arabs and Kurds.
“Sectarian and ethnic conflict is the fundamental problem in Iraq,” he said.The ambassador said the US would not continue spending billions of dollars to build up security forces run by people with a sectarian agenda.
“American taxpayers expect their money to be spent properly. We are not going to invest the resources of the American people into forces run by people who are sectarian,” he said at a rare news conference.
:omg:
Thanks Kristapea! :love: Ghostgrrrl! Have you ever heard the band outta Austin, Spoon?
There he is! :omg: Woo-hhooo!
Congrats Gaijinda!
:bow:I love Jim…this is the best news headline I’ve heard in a while: “The Department of Agriculture revealed this week that at least 60 percent of Americans are overweight, while the remaining 40 percent are in constant fear of being eaten.”
:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:
Well, I downloaded Jarhead today. Gonna give it my first viewing. Anyone here seen it yet? Any good? :ear:
congratulations Gaijinda! It must be nice to be out of America these particular years. Hopefully it will become a better place to come back to at some point.
I am such a homebody and need to be near where I was born…though Ive lived alot of places and visited alot of places I always seem to come back to the northeast…so Ive stopped fighting it….but, man, if I could transplant this place to an island or something…somewhere more liberal like the old Denmark or whatever fantasy any of that was…well…I guess we have to try to work with what we have.
I hope you all will keep your voting rights here no matter what happens because we need all the sane, smart people we can get!
Spoon, sounds familiar. Austin has a great music history. Many great bands from there.
America Through The Eye Of Hurricane Katrina – Capitalism At Its “best”
by Jerome Scott and Walda Katz-Fishman; February 20, 2006
What’s Up with Capitalism?
Long before hurricane Katrina – or Rita or Wilma or Stan – made landfall, the poorest and most oppressed communities across America, and the world, knew the system was broken. At least it wasn’t working for them. But it was the power of the unnatural aftermath of Katrina that unmasked this system. It fully exposed the nightmare of global capitalism for working class women, children and men of all racial, ethnic and nationality groups and the U.S. government that exists primarily to serve the interests of the richest global corporations.
The government at all levels and the political and economic structures it rests upon put millions in the Gulf Coast region in harms way, unprotected by adequate levees and essential wetlands. Once the floodwaters came, these same government agencies abandoned hundreds of thousands of the most vulnerable – poor, Indigenous, Black and immigrant communities, and especially the children, elders and women of these communities. With no evacuation plan in place for those without cars and money, thousands were left to drown. The elderly and the sick died in hospitals and nursing homes. Those who made it to “shelter” in the Superdome and Convention Center suffered more horrific conditions of violence and neglect; and those who tried to escape to surrounding communities on foot were turned back at gun-point.
Scientists, scholars and the media have known since the great flood of 1927 and had informed local, state and federal governments – based on scientific research and computer simulations in recent years – that New Orleans was in the bull’s eye of a catastrophe. It was not “if,” but “when” a Katrina would happen. And then, just 56 hours before Katrina hit, the National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service stated there was an “extremely high probability” that New Orleans would flood and tens of thousands would die. Because of this widely shared knowledge, we have to ask:
* Why did the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Army Corps of Engineers, Congress, state and local officials, etc., decide not to spend $14 billion to prevent disaster rather than allow disaster to happen and then have to spend $200 billion + after the fact?
* Why was there no evacuation plan for those without resources?
* Why were so many left to endure physical and emotional violence and to die?
* Why have the roughly two million internally displaced people continued to suffer at the hands of government incompetence and neglect?
* Why does the elite vision and plan for rebuilding New Orleans exclude so many – especially Black and working class communities?
* Most importantly, what are we the people going to do?
To answer these questions we must understand the long history of capitalism and peoples’ struggles in the United States, and what this moment represents. We argue that it represents the destruction of society as we know it. Society is turning in on itself – “eating its babies” and leaving devastation and death in its wake. . .

That’s hilarious Gaijinda! I haven’t checked Jim’s page in a while.
Lol Melina…do you REALLY want to be transplanted to DENMARK of all places? Why not, say, Switzerland….they’re neutral AND have chocolate! :banana:
the American Association for the Advancement of Science held its annual conference in st. louis over the weekend and its message is that it wants to empower teachers to fight anti-evolution pressure from parents and students.
how did i find out about the conference? by reading american newspapers? no. by reading the front page of the bbc news online and the front page of the guardian (london) online. when i google-newsed the conference, what came up was the bbc, reuters, guardian, stories from many other countries (australia, romania, etc.) and one story from the st louis dispatch.
how in the world are american educators going to feel they have any support at all for teaching evolution if our newspapers/radio/msm don’t even report about the aaas efforts to counter the anti-evolution hysteria?
😡
the AAAS is the largest scientific organization in the country.
There is a new enlightenment happening, and I don’t mean that in any religious sense, but more of awareness. It’s impossible to hide. The Corporatacracy is trying to manage the news and propaganda but it’s nearly impossible today. The right is dead wrong and the left needs to awake and burn down the empire! :fist:
In our names no more!:fist:
Core Groups and Mass Movements
by Ted Glick; February 19, 2006
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead
“The masses make history.” Mao Tse-tung
Several days ago I was interviewed on a Chicago radio station about my work on the climate crisis. In the context of discussion about the big, 30,000 person demonstration in Montreal, Quebec on December 3rd, one of the questions had to do with the effectiveness of such actions. The interviewer asked if they were much more than a convening of the already committed, like preaching to the choir.
In the case of Montreal, there’s no doubt in my mind that this big action, combined with actions in 30 other countries around the world at the same time involving another 70,000 or so people, did have an impact on the United Nations Climate Change conference. It strengthened the resolve and unity of enviros working for the earth inside it. It did the same for many non-U.S. governmental delegates, helping them stand up to the U.S.’s attempts to sabotage the conference. As a result, there were a number of positive, if limited, developments on the stop global warming front coming out of this U.N. gathering.
I’ve participated in and helped to organize a fair number of demonstrations of tens or hundreds of thousands of people over the 38 years that I’ve been an activist. It’s much easier to make a positive case for actions like these that always generate media coverage both before and after. From my experience, actions of this kind also help to strengthen individual participants for the often-boring or difficult day-to-day work back home. This is true even when there are way too many speakers talking for way too long. They send a signal to many not there who hear about them that there is hope, that there are large numbers of people who think the same way. For others, they raise questions about the particular issue being addressed that, over time, will help in the on-going and essential process of consciousness-raising on issues.
Yesterday, I participated in another demonstration, a small one in sub-freezing weather in downtown Newark, N.J. in support of the demand for housing and justice for the victims of Katrina/FEMA, tens of thousands of whom are being evicted from hotels and motels this month. I was one of the first to arrive, right on time, when there were only a few of us. 15 minutes later, when we began picketing and chanting slogans, there were only 10 on the picket line. Although it slowly grew to include about 25 people at the high point, and although there were many hundreds of people on this busy downtown street corner who saw us and scores who took leaflets, it was, without question, a demonstration “of the choir.”
I’ve participated in smallish actions of a core group like yesterday’s too many times to count during my years of activism. Some have been smaller. . .

Iowa Yeaahhh!
Why did the mysterious anthrax attacks come and go like a wraith?
For those in immediate proximity to the events, the September 11attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were frightening in the extreme, but they had not the slow accumulation of dread that the anthrax scare of October 2001 presented. Far more than any anomaly concerning 9/11 itself, the anthrax mystery is the undecoded Rosetta Stone of recent years.
The anthrax attacks were the most anomalous terrorist attacks in history: clever, successful, unpunished, causing five deaths and a billion dollars’ damage. Yet never repeated. This alone makes them remarkable in the annals of criminal activity, but there is more–the intended victims (at least those with an official position) were warned in writing of their peril in sufficient detail that they could take steps to administer an antidote. Is this characteristic of terrorist attacks by “al Qaeda,” or by any known Middle Eastern terrorist group?
Except for the ambiguous first attack (which killed a National Enquirer photo editor), all the deaths resulting from the anthrax plot were incidental–mail handlers and innocent recipients of mail which had been contaminated by proximity to the threat letters. Evidently the West Jefferson anthrax strain was more powerful and had greater accidental effects than the plotters had intended.
But what did the plotters intend, if they did not will the deaths of the addressees of their anthrax letters? It was pure coincidence, perhaps, that the anthrax scare was at its height, producing psychosomatic illness symptoms among members of Congress and staffers, just as the USA PATRIOT Act was wending its way through the legislative process. This measure, which originated among the same Justice Department lawyers who legally opined that torture was wholesome, was rammed through the Congress after enactment of the authorization of the use of force in Afghanistan. Why is this sequence significant?
The then-majority leader of the U.S. Senate, Tom Daschle, wrote a curious op-ed in the Washington Post four years after the events just described. [8]. In attempting to refute the administration’s allegation that it had been granted plenary wiretap powers in the Afghanistan authorization, he stated that he and his Senatorial confreres explicitly rejected an administration proposal to authorize an effective state of war within the borders of the United States itself.
Given the administration’s repeatedly demonstrated refusal to accept any limitation on its powers, it is logical that the rebuff on the war powers authorization was followed by the prompt submittal of the Justice Department’s draft of the PATRIOT Act, containing many of the domestic authorities the Bush White House had sought in the use of force legislation. How doubly coincidental that two of the limited number of addressees of the threat letters should have been the offices of Daschle himself, and Sen. Patrick Leahy, then-chairman of the committee of jurisdiction over the PATRIOT Act.
Needless to say, the measure was passed by an even more comfortable margin than that enjoyed by the 1933 Enabling Law in the Reichstag. [9] Notwithstanding buyer’s remorse exhibited by many members of Congress, and current efforts to amend its more onerous provisions, it appears we are saddled with the main burdens of its edicts in perpetuity.
How the government placed this perpetual burden on its citizens is bound up with the mysterious anthrax scare of October 2001, an outrage that, unlike 9/11, does not even merit an official explanation. No one has been charged.
Bonds is the most intimidating hitter after the steroids regimen, Springer. Prior to that, he was a great among other greats.
Richie from Portland. Are you a poster on this blog? You who called Riley’s show this morning?:omg:
Oh, I see. When I come on, everybody leaves.:omg:
If it’s any consolation, I’m still here, Nicki. And I’ll be honest, I was curious to know what Richie from Portland had to say to Riley.
I’m here, too, Nicki. (Although just long enough to eat my breakfast. I’m on deadline today.)
RE: Post 80–
Very curious. Thanks for posting. What was your source? I’d love to read the footnotes.
Denmark…matbe not so much now, but there was an interesting piece on 60 minutes last night and it seems really nice. Switzerland…hmm…maybe. I guess that the thing about Denmark is that (according to 60 mins) live in a sort of fantasy world and everything is so pretty and whatever…but then underneath there are problems…as there are everywhere. But, it seems like the ideas of human rights and self expression and keeping to yourself are pretty good…
My very good friends are in Stockholm and it seems really good there if youve got a little money on the side, but its tremendously dark alot of the year….and they tend to travel
because of my own feelings (and living in a place that my grandfather bought in the 40’s that is beautiful and isolated…something you dont find around here,) I probably cant get out of here also because of my 95 year old grandfather, Mom in 70’s and Im too attached (or old to keep moving round.)
I wish I still had that spark.
And I wish I could feel better about what is happening because Im in the line of fire in so many ways and our emergency services are underfunded and unprepared. I was just up at the firehouse the other day and a friend of mine was saying how if anything at all happens we are totally screwed. he says that everyone will just die. They still havent caught up since the windstorms! If some trees can stop this city cold, imagine a disaster in NYC where everyone has to leave and walks up here as refugees…or the nuclear power plant blowing…They actually gave out pills to some of the communities for that.
Its apparently, to hear Bobby Kennedy tell it, in poor shape. And it was certified by BROWNIE….
Bobby Kennedy lives in the next town north west of here and so when he mentions all these things hes doing they are usually having to do with my backyard. It is so scary!
If there is a disaster, I dont know if I want to survive to see what happens. Its gonna be bad!
Though who knows if Switzerland is careful at all about safety issues or Denmark for that matter.
I guess I would have to research for a future possible escape….How about buying an island somewhere way the hell out and away…just a generator of some sort, windmills, solar shields, dish, large screen TV, lotsa sunscreen…..peace!…
Nickie, I dont know if the # online really reflects who is online. I click out and in as Im reading stuff and blogging. I try ot keep a different explorer opened but usually I end up using 2 or 3…anyway, I know I come and go on the count and I think lots of people do.
Hey, I put todays very disturbing Bob Herbert op-ed from the NY Times on ripcoco for anyone who wants to be upset again. Rachel has been talking about this case, as has Sam and Jeaneane….its so unbelievable that there is no recourse because of national security…then I guess they can do anything and our laws mean nothing.
Its really discouraging that there is no justice anymore.
If the good guys never win then people become downtrodden…
I feel downtrodden in sympathy with all of those people held and not charged…picked up with no reason other than the color of their skin or some vague …whatever…no reason, just felt like it…a quota or something…looking busy…
I’m here but getting ready to go out into the rat race. :doh:
NickiRose, I am closing down the fire and getting ready for sleep mode — yet I am still here. It is garbage day…. so I am still running and doing. I quickly read your last several comments — which were great and I so wish to speak to you about it, but my mind is already in sleep mode. I tried to give comments but ALL done on the run since I am usally working too. 😮 Working at night is my sanity, but I miss ALL yours and others’ comments.
I use to also head certain actions regarding many issues in California, especially in ’80s in LA and appeared in local and national media pertaining to national major “hot” issues. Now working in different ways in “getting the word/actions” out.
I am making little sense:yawn:
foggyblue, I was 13 when I got “enlightened” and I had to go against my parents and their pedestrian mindset. (re your comment #76)But I have always felt since I was a young teen — if one is alive one is valid. I am just saying this to offer hope. Some students will “get it” , but we all have to CHANGE NOW The Paradigm.
(any mistakes — oh well…I’m asleep :yawn:)

Kudos to Bob Herbert !!
Most Canadians are totally PISSED about Arar’s situation and this ruling is revolting and frightening!
It’ll be interesting to see if our new A-Hole Neo-ConPM, Mr. Harper, speaks up on this. If not then he will discover the wrath of Canadians – believe me.
Next week’s Newsweek should be interesting. The cover says, “Cheney’s Secret World.”
Among other things, it reveals that all of the 9/11 commissioners thought he was full of shit, but of course they weren’t allowed to include that in the official report.
And, of course, he’s a regular fucking Earnest Hemingway, Grgeat White Hunter and all.
Wow, what a man. 70 pheasants in a day. He must have had to be driven around to several differnt pens. Or maybe they just took him to the zoo that day.
These people make me sick It’s not just Cheney, either. It’s this whole circle of “elite” that wheel and deal and crush the insignificant rabble. And these idiots gleefully vote for them, waggling their purple fingers and purple heart band aids, wearing that slack-faced giggling exhuberant smile that these blissfully ignorant slobs get when they’re so proud to have been allowed to gather for a short time in the proximity of these “great men.”
Yeah, what’s up with that new PM of yours and the Conservative Party, Canuck? I’d always thought of Canada as an emergency backup plan (actually, not even an emergency), since I’m so close by, and have always really liked the places and the people up there (well, except for the big lumberjack guy in a bar in Toronto who hauled off and kicked me in the face from out of nowhere as I was sitting, and then smashed a chair over the back of my head as I was leaving, and the cops in Toronto who kept pulling us over and searching our car for the crime of being young, having long hair, and driving a crappy Plymouth Sebring with NY State license plates, but that was a long time ago).
Of course, from what I can tell, your Conservatives are better than our Konservatives, so I think I’d still take my chances up there.
Canuck- it must give everyone pause to think that while changing planes at JFK one could be picked up and sent ot a torture prison like that with no recourse. It could really be any of us and it makes me afraid to travel anywhere very far until these crazy freaks are out of office.
I feel really helpless lately. What am I supposed to tell my kid?
I heard from some one in Canada that the new Conservative regime looks to be pretty bad…is the whole world going this way?

Hey- Does anyone here subscribe to Newsweek? There is now a subscribers only online newsletter
That looks pretty good. It seems to come out on Sundays. I just wanted to check it out. I wish they would show at least one sample one.
Heh. Arianna on Mary Matalin’s appearance on Press the Meat yesterday (read the whole post, if only for the accompanying photo).
I guess “girl” must be Venezuelan for “bitch.” You tell her, Hugo.
PJ- That was something to see…my Mom was saying that Dowd just glared at her…so look for ol’ Maureen to be getting even real soon. Matalin is like some sorta circus freak. I cant, for the life of me, figure how she got anywhere in politics…maybe shes just sleazy enough or something.She and her lizard husband and their scary little Adams Family girls…. The only thing worse is when Tim Russert has them all on and gushes over the girls….these people are all so dirty.
I didn’t watch it, personally. I find that the only way to keep from kicking in my TV screen is to not watch these people. I can’t even stomach the Washington Journal, because so many of the callers make me want to scream and start throwing things (although, the hosts generally impress me; every topic that comes up, they dig through their pile of papers and come up with the relevant section highlighted; how thay hell do they read all that stuff before seven o’clock in the morning?).
Matalin just exudes the disdain that these people have for all of us, though she pretends it’s really just disdain for the press (at least the ones who aren’t compliant little poodles). Hopefully she’ll learn that you don’t mess with an Irish broad (I butted heads with my mom enough to be speaking from experience).
when i saw the clip of matalin yesterday (crooksandliars), i could not believe how mean she looked. (too tight a face lift I think is part of the problem) i thought huffpo’s photo of her alongside Maleficent was PERFECTO! what is it with these mean republicans? they are so ugly on the inside it’s extruding to their outsides.
well, i’ve blown a few fuses today…trying to get piddly work done around here that i’ve put off. better get back to it. i’ll wait to read herbert, not ready to get major pissed off just yet. thanks for the warning.
i need a funny first:
Ah, another reminder of why I quit listening to NPR, and why my local ststion has lost me as a member (not that I blame them). A story about how Clinton got elected in 1992 because people though the economy was lousy, when in fact it was wonderful, and how that nasty old media only reports things like job losses and factory closings today, when in fact all is just terrific but productivity is up.
That’s a big relief, I’m sure, to everybody who’s out of work, or who is working at two or three crappy jobs to try and make up for that one good job they used to have. But productivity’s up, so those that have, have more, and those that have not, can go screw themselves.
This was a story that came on after one about Bush being kind of a mix between Ronald Reagan (because he’s all about small government – go figure that one out and let me know), and Franklin “War President” Roosevelt.
Melina:
Yes sit IS scary. I’m glad I have my U.S. passport as well (although my wife still worries when she crosses the border).
The Conservatives were elected here only because the Liberasl were such F**k-Ups. It wasn’t a shift to the Right but rather a “Throw the bums out!!” thing.
Canadians are almost all Left of the Dems (except some cowboys out in the far West). I can’t see that changing.
I am concerned about one thing though – in the election I saw one panel where the Conservative was DEFINITELY using “Talking Points” hmmmmm…. where does that idea come from? Candian politicians to date use their own words and discuss “issues”. If I see any evidence of that changing I am going to get upset 😉
Well, Im still keeping Canada at the top of the where I should move to list, but Im gonna have to keep an eye on things. Considering that the two major places that Ive lived have been Maine and MOntana, it seems a no-brainer….what with the scary global warming, I expect that it will soon be the only way to really get snow too.
I gotta follow the snow!
Di anyone see the Global Warming report on 60 Mins last night?…really scary…they have the proof that the Bush Admin. doesnt want to look at in those core samples of the ice…and also in the ice melting away….really bad.
The Antiwar Movement Must Work Outside This Corrupt Party
Cindy Sheehan’s Message to the Democrats
By JOSHUA FRANK
For a fleeting moment it looked as though Cindy Sheehan was going to toss her antiwar weight into the election ring and confront Senator Dianne Feinstein of California in the Democratic primary. But instead Sheehan has subtly withdrawn herself from the race.
Sheehan’s decision, which was announced on February 9, came after substantial pressure from elite Democrats who thought her bid could damage Sen. Feinstein. Certainly that was the point of Sheehan’s threat to take on the senator — and the elites of the pro-war Democratic Party, including Sen. Barbara Boxer, knew it. Since her decision was made public Sheehan has been taking heat from antiwar activists who believe she has given into the Democrat’s coercion. They believe she has succumbed to lesser-evil politics. But I wouldn’t be so quick to jump to such a conclusion.
Sheehan obviously believes the best way to challenge the Democrat’s ineptitude is to continue her activism from outside the party. So don’t go counting on her to endorse Feinstein this summer. If anybody still honestly believes that the Democrats are open to radical changes at the national level, they need look no further than Paul Hackett’s recent demise or the centrist Howard Dean’s campaign during the 2004 elections. If the grassroots of the Democratic Party are engaged and empowered — watch out — their challenges to way business is done in Washington, whether genuine (Hackett’s) or spurious (Dean’s), end up becoming just another casualty of Democratic corruption…

The US Real Estate Market
Bubblicious
By SETH SANDRONSKY
Many eyes are on the U.S. real estate market. “During the past five years, home prices have risen at an annual rate of 9.2 percent,” according to the 2006 Economic Report of the President released on February 13. Was this growth normal? We need the historical context of home price increases to answer this question.
The media coverage of the report sidestepped the historical context altogether. For the relevant historical data on recent home prices, we turn to economist Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, DC.
“Through the post-war period 1950 to 1995, house prices grew at approximately the same rate as the prices of other goods and services,” Baker wrote last July.
The Consumer Price Index of goods and services rose at an annual rate of 3.4 percent in 2005, a five-year high, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Between 2001 and 2005, the CPI annual rate, on average, was 2.56 percent. Put the aforementioned annual house price growth rate of 9.2% in this context. House prices rose at more than three and a half times the rate of consumer price increases.
Some economists have a technical term for the U.S. real estate market today: a bubble. They are part of — not apart from — the national economy.
Recall the stock market bubble of the 1990s. Share prices climbed to record highs, cheered on by overheated rhetoric of a “new” economy. An exception to cheerleading came from Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who mentioned concern about investors’ “irrational exuberance” — but only on page eight during a 10-page speech. Eventually, the bubble popped, wiping out paper gains…

Unreal Paradigms
by Mike Marqusee; The Hindu; February 19, 2006
It’s impossible not to be dismayed by the spiral of events. A witless racist cartoon is elevated into a totem of western democracy and holocaust denial becomes a symbol of resistance to imperialism.
The message contained in the Danish cartoon was blunt: it drew an equation between Muslims and terrorists, between Islam and murderous violence. It was devoid of humour, irony, artistic or social merit, yet editors across Europe took it upon themselves to publish it. They did so, they claimed, as a “test” of free speech. Now, more often than not, the western media is cautious about testing free speech, especially when it comes to exposing government secrets or embarrassing rich people who enjoy recourse to libel lawyers. There are a wide range of offensive images – racist, pornographic – that they routinely refuse to publish. But when it came to the Danish cartoon, the usual inhibitions were cast aside. What’s apparent from statements made by the editors and their supporters is that what they were eager to put to the “test” was not an abstract principle but the willingness of a minority group to conform to majority assumptions.
Listening to western commentators exercise themselves over whether “we” have made too many concessions to “cultural differences” and to what extent “cultural diversity” is compatible with “our democratic values”, I wonder what history books these people have read. Did they miss the hundred odd years during which non-western peoples fought for elementary democratic rights against western colonial powers? Did they miss “our” slave trade, “our” genocides, “our” use of weapons of mass destruction? Have they missed the “culture wars” that have ravaged the USA for two decades, in the course of which a well-funded right-wing religious movement has mounted successful attacks on science and personal freedom? The current relative openness of western society has had to be extracted from recalcitrant elites inch by inch, and is today threatened first and foremost by its own governments.
Coming from British commentators, members of a notoriously mono-lingual majority whose knowledge of other cultures is often limited to the menu at an “Indian” restaurant (usually run by a Bangladeshi or Pakistani), the complaint that Muslims have cut themselves off from the wider world is rich. Not as rich, of course, as lectures on democracy and tolerance coming from those who breach international law, inflict violence on civilian populations and abuse human rights. The mythology crudely expressed in the cartoon acquires a daily deadly impact in Iraq, Palestine, Guantanamo and on the streets of Europe, where innocent Muslims are treated and punished as “terrorists”.
Many of those who proclaim the right to offend seem shocked and outraged when offence is duly taken. Surely, the same principle that protects the cartoonist protects the idiot dressed as a suicide bomber. But while the Muslim response to the cartoon is presented as pathological, the western mentality that begat the cartoon escapes scrutiny. . .

pj, about the only good thing about npr these days is Car Talk. I stopped listening when they dumped Bob Edwards. And then there was the funny to follow!!!
if you get a moment, you might want to tootle on over to cnn.com and vote:
Marc E-mail! New show next Tuesday?!
🙁 Oh, man. One of Marc’s cats is missing. I hate sadness.
maybe it’s headed back to nyc.
****
hope hope hope hope hope hope hope hope
(new show Tues & return of cat)
I find this ridiculous. Hopefeully we don’t get around to passing laws like this here.:omg:I forgot to copy the post. It had to do with the feel good show trial over the Nazi Holocaust denier, Irving and his being sentenced to prison.
The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
——————————————————
It’s Presidents’ Day and your Hardball team is working through the holiday on a
relatively quiet Capitol Hill to get ready for an exclusive interview. In his
first national television chat since abandoning his senate campaign, Paul
Hackett, the outspoken Iraq War veteran who previously had his sights set on
unseating Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH), will talk with Chris about why he quit the
race and where he thinks the Democratic Party is headed.
Hackett soared as a national star for Democrats when he narrowly lost a special
election for a House seat last August, so much so that his good showing prompted
what was expected to be a hot senate race focused on the war and national
security. Did Democrats in Washington abandon Hackett in favor of Rep. Sherrod
Brown (D-OH)? Was Hackett too much of a maverick for his fellow Democrats? Will
he seek elected office again?[…]
Hi everybody…just back from a yo yo trip up and downtown…I didnt read the past few hours, but tell me now…Is it this week as in THIS WEEK?…and Tues as in TOMORROW?? Or do we have to wait a whole other week?
He is not very exact, is he?
Tell me what our brain trust thinks of this!
Im afraid that cats who go missing around here tend to be bobcat and coyote food….if hes in the hills up over H’wood…didnt he say that?…this one may be….ugh…its just too sad.
melina, i agree with you about not knowing what marc meant when he said tuesday.
well which tuesday do you mean, marc?
last thursday he said “next week” and today he said “this week” and then he said “next tuesday.” i’ll be listening tomorrow night at 10 pm just in case.
i’m glad that aar has “where’s maron” with a little tiny photo of marc on their website and i’m glad that he’s letting us know that things are proceeding and that aar is getting together a website for him and that they’re far enough along in the process to actually be making errors.
maybe, finally, fingers-crossed, his show is actually going to get on the air.
you’re right about the fate of many cats that go missing. i guess all we can do is hope with farmerkat that the grey and white kitty is one of those cats that go off and then come back after a few days or a few weeks. marc didn’t say how long his cat has been missing. 😥
melina, are you getting better after your bout with the cold/flu?
Hi all,
I had today off, so was out and about for a change. Finally got to see Brokeback Mountain. Excellent flick for the three or four of you who still haven’t caught it. While I was watching it, I couldn’t help but think of Maron’s routine last time he was on Conan. :rofl2:
Melina, I think I’m coming down with what you have. My voice has been deteriorating all day. How you managed to transmit it to Florida, I’m not sure, but it must be a strong bug to make it all the way from there to here. :sammy:
When I read Maron’s e-mail, I took it to mean NEXT Tuesday, but now I’m not so sure. Didn’t Jim’s post say that it would be next week? Oh, Mr. Kotter, I’m so confused. :tongue:
Remember a couple of weeks ago when Paul Motian guested on Riley’s show? I picked up the CD today. Will let everyone know how it is once I listen to it, which will probably be tomorrow at work if Franken gets boring.
Foggy…I seem to be getting better but my fiasco of an afternoon didnt help…I still cant talk. I know its not the flu because I had the shot…and its also not as bad as the flu.
I sure hope that tomorrow is MM day! It would be so great if it was…I wish we could hear the test shows as a beta audience or something!
Anyway…..yes, Im happy…even if its another week!
I guess I can just write in an extra stream in Replay and hope to catch it. It will be 1-3AM EST?…Pray to the replay radio gods that everything goes smoothly.
Of course my son’s desktop computer is having some problem where its suddenly going really slow and shutting down basic programs alot, but it seems to be running the replay OK. The funny thing is that the TV card is working OK but the audio is way out of sync. I wonder what that means. Its never odne that before!
My interpretation of the email is that Marc will tell us this week when the show will start. He hopes it will start next Tues (2/28).
Kev- everyone around here has this…and since this is prime time for everyone up here to go down there, I expect that its the same bug. Its not as bad as it could be, really. I just had alot of kids around and most of them had the beginnings of it…and I couldnt communicate with them.
I havent seen Brokeback Mtn yet …but then I tend to see nothing until its out…only big effects movies that need a big screen.
Chris Matthews is doing Hackett.
A friend of mine who is a Naderite sent me an article about this as if to say that it was right to be 3rd party because look what the Dems do….
This may be wrong…but its all about who can win. I want to shake the whole Dem party up but I also am desperate to make the first step back from this brink of disaster….
And, this is really disaster…
I wonder if this story is going to turn into a way for the Repugs to smear the Dems….what we do to our own…
Im getting way too anxious about everything…need the funny…need it now!
Yeah Isi…but he said this week, next Tuesday…where does he say he will tell us this week? I wish he owuld use a date. I suppose hes been burned before, as have we…I want to have back my innocence about this thing…like, I thought Bush would surely not win a second term and like AAR’s lineup was so great that no one could possibly mess with it.
I took this to mean, I should be able to tell you this week definitely when the show will launch. I used the same words, just changed the order.
:jerk:
Hey Sheeple, whaddup?
Re: Paul Hackett….have you heard Randi’s theory? She thinks that the Repugs cut a deal with the Dems that if they got Hackett to lay off, they’d allow them to have their NSA investigation. And then as soon as Hackett announced he was out, the Repugs reneged. More proof that the Dems are suckers and cowards and the Repugs are bastards. So what else is new, huh?
:jerk:
If you guys were to leave the US to escape the fascism, what country would you choose?
I am running and doing and “lurkin’ about.”
BUT G’DAY TO ALL:!:
I am just trying to read (while running) this wonderfully, informative blog.
cornfedhippie pie-wagon, I would stay here, since I want to kick their toxic butts :spank: — whether it be in the “Shadows” or in the “Blazing Light”.
:growl: bush & all his adm :spank:
IMPEACH:!: (format thx to KevinM)
ARREST:!:
VIGILANCE:!:
:fire: Got your emil :love:
pjsauter, so sweet you but up front the “meows” description :love::billcat::love:
cornpie- I am also running round and sick still but just a pop in to say that I have been agonizing about that for quite a while here…and I think I was just posting about Canada again….It depends on if the new conservative government sticks or if its just a short phase.
I also am interested in some nordic countries but they all have some problems. It depends on if you need sun or even daylight, like snow or have any extra cash because the state run systems arent usually totally great, ie. its good to be able to go to better doctors if something big happens etc… Also be able to vacation if you live in a dark place because it can be dark as much as 20 hours a day and the suicide rate is high…If yorue depressive at all its not good…;-)
You can see Im giving it some thought, but I really want to stay here and try to save this country.
Im starting to think that totally unregulated capitalism rots the human psyche from the inside out.
Liberal Oasis is doing a decent pragmatic analysis of the situation in Palestine. This is on Majority Report. Talk about the underlying issues, you wonk!
I don’t have the resources to relocate elsewhere. Therefore, I will probably get chucked into a concentration camp when the shit comes down. Maybe Buchenwald.
:omg:
Hey, y’all, just got back in from the cold. I took Marc’s e-mail to mean that some day this week he should be able to tell us a “for sure” start date for his show, and that, right now, he thinks that will be next Tuesday (as in, not tomorrow), but all is not quite set in stone, so we should not get too excited until he can officially tell when the start date will be.
Sound Out Stumptown!
Let’s convince Portland’s all comedy channel(AM 970) to carry Marc’s new show. Send your e-mails to
feedback@johnson970.com
and ask them to carry the show live. I doubt a bidding war will break out with KPOJ, but KCMD is open at 10PM and could easily carry it live.
Besides, I promised that I’d get a “Sammy Lives!” chalk graffiti campaign started if they carried it. (Remember, all stem cells can become anything they want…including Sammy.)
We have All Comedy Radio too. Is Danny Bonoducci still doing the mornings? :jerk: Is it out of LA? It’s not a radio station I can listen to all day. they rotate bits like a top forty station rotates the top ten. I don’t want to listen to Ellen Degeneres bit about being in the toilet stall 3 times a day. I like it, but I don’t like it that much. When I was listening a lot, they never played any Maron. Is it payola or just that Marc’s bits have too much swearing??
Wow-I think if I had Danny Bonaducci to wake up to I’d be afraid to get up and start my day!
post #80-the one about the anthrax: VERY interesting, but I think that if I spend too much time suspecting conspiracies like that i’m going to go crazy.
As for places to relocate to: JAPAN! It’s a little kooky, yes, but we need a good base to start up the The Sun Is Rising in the East Happy Whatever you call it-the ripoff of MS.
:gate::gate::gate::gate::gate:
I think that the betrayal of Hackett is just the beginning. I think, though this is a GOLDEN opportunity to take back Congress in the midterms but the Dems are going to waste their time bickering and being unorganized instead of focusing on getting their message out and so they Rethugs will just get re-elected. 🙁 PLEASE, someone tell me I’m being too pessimistic and that ti won’t turn out that bad, puh-LEASE!!!!! :fustrate::fustrate::fustrate:
Yeah, it’s out of LA and to my tastes a bit uneven but there are classic bits in there too. I can live without Leykis and Hendrie. As they say, “You don’t like it, whadda’ you suggest?” So I did: Carry Maron.
Well, Gaijinda, you do know the difference between an optimist and a pessimist?
The optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds! 🙂
…the pessimist is afraid that might be true.
Ha! Leycus used to be here in Phoenix late 80’s early 90’s. I used to call him all the time, he was a little more political when he was here. He used to get me on the air right away. He’s on in the afternoon here and all he talks about is sex and relationships.He really sux now.:jerk:
Okay, Ol’ Zeb, I emailed the station as requested. Now we need for the show to start existing so we don’t all look like we’re lying.
I haven’t been forsaking my beloved blog sibs on purpose this weekend. I’ve been a good friend, delivering homemade chicken soup to those with tummy ailments and homemade Morrocan Lentil Soup to those with sniffly ailments and homemade apple cinnamon waffles to those who are under the age of 5 and whining that Mommy never makes waffles for her (largely because Mommy doesn’t have a waffle iron and I do…) I guess I ought to post some of those recipes, oughtn’t I? Well, it’ll have to wait. It’s bed time now.
In the morning, seditionisti, we will continue to fight the good fight. Avanti! :fire:
Nope, Johnson620 is Danny-free. (Too bad AAR….)
CBS/Infinity/theMob or whoever is the “Free FM!” group might take up the program as well. They carry Penn Jillette on half a dozen stations and the FM audio quality is a step up. We’ve discussed it before but MM&Co could carry an FM audience.
hey sheeple i got a copy of jerusalem syndrome today for 10 bucks you know why? because i kick ass :tongue:
Paper or digital? (…TREE KILLER….)
Hi all; I am sad tonight, as California is set to carry out its’ third state sanctioned murder tonight one minute after midnight. Sick sick sick. I’m listening to the live coverage of the vigil at San Quentin on KPFA. I went for the Tookie Williams vigil in December. Lots of youth from inner city Bay Area towns. What a horrible baptism into this sick death culture for these bright and eager youths. 🙁
I meant third murder in as many months.
Being a nurse, I was especially sickened to learn about the role of doctors and other health care professionals in carrying out these executions. KPFA has interviewed a doctor from another state, I forget which state, who has been working to get some kind of sanctions against medical professionals who participate in executions, but of course the ones participating take great pains to hide their identities from the public. I wonder if they tell their spouses and partners what they do? I can’t imagine having a partner or spouse who does this…
We always thought that we were above the Culture of Death here…or at least immune.
I’ve been reading The Mahar Arar pages. I frankly don’t care if the guy was the biggest war criminal since the Dark Ages, dammit WE should not be doing these things. Due process in not optional. The slippery slope of abuse allows hate and ignorance to win…”they” are not the same as us, so we are justified. We don’t have to give them human rights becuase we don’t consider them human.
paper dont have it ordered it it should be in within 2 weeks dont know if i will be here but if im not ill just have somebody from my works office pick it up for me
i already have one copy dont even know why i reordered it i guess i just like killing trees
if i knew how to post a pic you would be able to see it uh i e-mailed it to pj so maybe he will post it but heres a link for a maron article about his off off off broadway jerusalem syndrome
went to see freedomland today
:love::love::(:love:ex-ny’er :love::(:love::love:
Thank you Druid. I’ll turn on Mike Malloy at the top of the hour, I need to hear a good rant tonight. Wish I could say it was just the cryptofacist neocon death cult that promotes the death penalty. Barbara Bechnel, Tookie Williams’ partner, just lambasted the Dems and commended the Greens. But she said she’s thinking of running for governor – as a Dem! I like her and respect her (saw her speak about Williams’ case about three years ago at a socialist conference at Berkeley, and she is a marvelous speaker), but she wouldn’t be the first person to delude themselves into thinking they can reform or shake up that party by running. She won’t get the endorsment, not from the Dems, I can assure you. If she’s willing to speak at a socialist conference, why wouldn’t she consider running at least as a Green, if not Peace and Freedom? She can’t possibly believe the Democratic Party machine in this state will endorse her for any state office. Incredible.
Werbe filled in for Malloy tonight, I like him too. Well, I have to be up early for work tomorrow, so goodnight all.
cryptofacist brigade and their Dem enablers :fu:
ahhhhhh its peter werbe tonight malloy is missing:paranoid:
Hey Sheeple! I’m steppin’ out to get :40: But I’ll be back shortly.
