Another weekend in DC. News from indside the beltway is that Laura is tired of George fooling around with Condi, and has moved into the Mayflower Hotel (it’s been confirmed, supposedly, by a Mayflower staffer, that Laura spent at least one night at the hotel). I heard that Laura kicked George out of the White House for a night, which is why he went to Baghdad.

Otherwise, things are quiet, hot, and humid here, with the temperatures supposed to be in the nineties – and the humidity even higher. No swamp coolers here. I think I’ll see if I can make my way to Great Falls VA today, and hang out. If I do, I’ll try and take some pictures (I took some before, but they’re the same goddamn things you’ve seen a million times – the Capitol Dome, Wasington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, yada, yada, yada; really no point in posting them) and post them somewhere.

So, I think we’ve gotten some people’s attention over at AAR. People like Jon Sinton and Doug Kreeger are already Maron fans, but hopefully calling and writing AAR is helping to give them the ammunition they need to move things along. If you write, be polite and coherent, and if you write to Kreeger and Sinton specifically, it wouldn’t hurt to mention that you appreciate their efforts. But let’s keep pushing this until we get some results – not just for us, but for AAR.

The two former CEOs screwed things up considerably, and it’s time things got set right. It won’t be right unless we, the listeners, are a part of it. That’s what bozo’s like Ed Schultz don’t get. “We the People” need to take back our airwaves, as well as our government. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that we can’t do the latter until we do the former. And “We the People” are a helluva lot more than rich, white, male landowners or “Donna Reed” households with a mommy, daddy and 1.2 children. We’re all colors and creeds and shapes and sizes. We’re single parents, we’re two mommys, we’re two daddys, or we’re a “village.” We’re all that, and everything in between. Fuck these intolerant assholes who think they have a corner on what’s “right” for America. We are America. And we are Air America.

So c’mon you lurkers who never post, get out there and join the fight! And you regulars who haven’t called/emailed/faxed/written – you get going, too.

As for me, I’m gonna go hiking. We’re under 50 – 49 to go. Have a good Saturday.
