Good morning, y’all.

Al Franken moves on to the general election in Minneapolis against repugnant incumbent, Norm Coleman. Al has to win because it looks like Mark Warner could take Virginia and that would just be too much teeth in the Senate.

The Maron v. Seder VOD from yesterday is up now.

It’s fun to see the shows on with regularity but it is discouraging to see how little reaction that they are getting live, at least on the blogs. The IM traffic seems pretty good. I wonder if it is a bad time slot, tech problem burnout or just too little too late. I think it will be a good show and maybe ‘live’ is not that important although I enjoy the audience reaction and participation. However, I don’t think that they want to be playing to the choir. I trust them when they say it will be very different when it rolls out since it will be done from a real studio with bigger pipes on the AAR website rather than Sam’s ‘tubes. Ultimately, I hope they end up with a real over the airwaves time slot when some AAR contracts expire.

I am wondering how RG’s Minneapolis adventure went and if it was more G than R or a combination of the two. And for PJ, I am sorry about your Uncle Bill. I guess my Dad is the last person standing of that generation though he is drifting into a different place. It is saddening and sobering.

Happy Humpty!
