Geez, that week sure went by fast, didn’t it. Great to hear the return of Marc Maron, but God forbid it should all go smoothly. No matter how good a thing is, AAR always seems to find a way to coax a little hate and discontent out of us, don’t they?
So, I guess we’re nuclear partners with India, and now Bush is in Pakistan. Ports for Dubai, nukes for India – I wonder what he’s got to offer Musharraf? Maybe there are a few US jobs he can send his way. Hey, let’s ship the Walton family over there (Sam’s kin, that is, not John-Boy and MaryEllen). Better yet, why doesn’t dubya just stay over there to help out? Musharraf sounds like his kinda guy.
holy fuck 1 its past 5 already!!!!!
Heard the shows today! Great to have Marc Back on.
:fire:
Jason-way to get on! Where can we send some stuff. I got some cotton candy feminine napkins and chocolate condoms (candy only nonfunctional) that have to go.
:40:I’m gone!:omg:
Good morning seditionists! How was the show last night? Good? I missed it…I had to work…
I wonder how long the podcast is gonna take to get here today? :doh:
Where you goin’ Nicki? :omg:
Did you hear Malloy doin’ Randy?
Bounce your boobies! :rofl2:
Hey Kong…I sent you an email…:fire:
So I read through the Friday show thread! Way to go Sean!
Seditionists Rule! :banana: Can’t wait to hear it buddy! :fist:
Hey, jason! I’m going to take a blog break for about 20 minutes or so, but I’ll be back. Chat it up… I’ll read it when I get back
Hey Trav….well, I don’t have much to say really. My back really hurt today….must’ve slept wrong. I need a break man. I’ve been working seven days a week for too long. Friday was the first day off I had off in months man! It was great though to get on with Marc …:banana: What? Did I say I didn’t have much to say? :doh:
Nukes for Mangoes
The people of the United States will enjoy eating your mangoes
Don’t call the Dogs “dog”, call them Sargent! :rofl2::doh:
Is the world in the crapper or what? :omg:
:hubba: Is this Dick Cheney?
I just listened to me again! Yeahhhh…it’ wasn’t so bad…:doh:
Okay….I feel a little wierd alone in the Sedition world
:doh: Oh well….:banana: Trav where are you man? :alc:
Yeah, yeah, I’m here. I just went out with the dog to face the elements. The hay must be beating up your back, huh?:rofl2:
still no new podcast….:mad:
The tatami usually feels good on my back…I don’t know what it is? :doh:
Good morning, Seditionists!
All you folks who listen in real-time and call in, how on earth do you do it? If I stay up that late I lose the entire next day.
I’m stoked about the cookbook thing. I’ll contribute to one and I’ll buy one.
Have you guys looked into Lulu.com or iUniverse? That might be a good way to publish it.
So the show was pretty good last night? :fire:
Hey Brilliant! :fire:
Sure, the show is getting better. Sean made it on the air. That was pretty good, except now he thinks he’s Kerouac or something:doh:
Jill doesn’t really talk to us. I don’t know why
Sean is all hopped up on goofballs! :rofl2::doh:
What bits did they do?
:priest: and umm…umm…yeah.:doh:
Yeah….I wish there were more people blogging on this site during the show…oh well…
Any word from anyone about the Maron Show being streamed through the AAR site?
That guy that called into the Maron show claiming to have been arrested by homeland security because he was posting flyers about the Carlyle Group planning a nuclear attack on New York City called into the Springer show the next day…:doh:
Trav…I thought you were back? ❓
Oh, I know why Jill is tight lipped or fingered. She’s afraid that she’ll get sucked into the vortex of our fanciful knowledge and never escape alive:paranoid:
Word on Maron being broadcasted through air america corporation…nope. I don’t think it’s going to happen…at least in the short term, anyway. There’s too many wrinkles to work out, or something
Sorry, man. I can’t type that fast and I was lookin’ at another site real fast, too:doh:
I’m an editing freak…but I always miss stuff:doh:
It’s okay man…I talk too much anyway…:spank::grin:
What was goin’ on between you and Nicki? :omg:
I think Nicki has some problems with abusing the first amendment. She seems to think that it’s appropriate to write,” Go fuck yourself”, for no particular reason. Crazy, huh?
pretty crazy indeed…
Travis, when are you gonna call in? Man, you gotta get Marc to say Alaska again…:rofl2:
Me? call in..ah, I don’t think so:billcat:
still no new podcast :billcat:
I wouldn’t be able to remember my first name:40:
Why not man?
It’s pretty nerve racking…:barf:
:nod:Hey, how ’bout we check out some news real fast. I’m already starting to feel out of the loop.:doh:
I’m going to listen to me again for the 5th time! :doh:
Later man! :yawn:
:bong:Yeah, what Lee said!
Ok, maybe that was over the top by the director. :spank:
I can’t believe you guys. There were 8 of you sheeple out there and now zilch! Type, sheeple. Don’t you know it’s good for ya?
:yawn:
:yawn: That’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout!
I think I shoulda stayed in bed. I’m beat.
I’m here, Travis!
Mornin’, all!
Delaware , what’s that saying?:doh: Or is that Maine
Gore Vidal
HuffPo
3/4/06
yep, me too. had an 80 pound dog decide she had to sleep on my legs and i was too out of it to shove her off so just slept like crap. :yawn:
Wow, I guess O’Reilly really does have the crack Fox Security team on the job.
:yawn:
Yo everybody, well I got 1 hour and 47 minutes recorded last night, of which only about 12 minutes will play and that’s the damn clippers post game show.
:fustrate: :doh:
BTW, Marc interviewed a guy named Harrison who has a weekend show at KTLK. He interviewed Vidal and will be airing the interview, I think today.
My doggy is all sore from running around too much yesterday. Plus, he went out on the ice (even though I told him not to), and broke through (just as I was afraid of). He just barely managed to get himself out, too, or I’d have had to go in and get him (and it was about tweleve degrees outside). Already up to 21 today, though!
Jiminey Christmas! How would you get Siggy out if he didn’t get out himself:?: You could have gone in the drink yourself 😯
***
O’Reilly is a paranoid schizophrenic with an enabling and sickly supportive employer that puts the D in dysfunction. :blech:
I got the WHOLE SHOW last night! (Haven’t listened to it yet, but I got all 4 hours–covering my bases–in one file!) :banana:
Once I see what I’ve got, I can break it up and send it to those who didn’t get it.
That’s what I was trying to figure out. I’d have had to get wet, that’s for certain.
Hey, is it easy to make a little cash by writing a book? That Frey guy did it… How is that stuff done? Do I need connections?…Marc wrote a book…I’d need a fantastic editor, too. I guess I’d have to have an unedited book and give it to a publisher, huh? oh well, nevermind. I have like two sentences down so far. Capote, yeah, I’ve not seen that yet. I want to though. I read wonkette’s blog about that movie awhile back, anyway…yeah
Yep, I seem to’ve gotten it all, too. I’m up to the Patent Oswalt part, so far.
Yep. But an enabling and supportive dysfunctional employer beats a Danny-boy-D Dysfunctional employer any day!!!
Citizenkahn what recorder are you using?
congratulations citizenkahn!
the podcast isn’t up yet, what do you think, by Monday they’ll have it up:cry:
yep, the dysfunctional employer gives ’em call-in numbers at least.
gotta take the dogs out; later!
I wish I had andy rooney’s job:fustrate: How easy would that be?:rofl2:
Write amongst yourselves. I don’t want to slow down the flow
I can’t write, anyway:growl:
Travis, I’ve worked in publishing a long time. Most books come to editors’ attention through literary agents. Unsolicited manuscripts go into a slush pile, which editorial assistants go through from time to time. Most books don’t get published from the slush pile, but when I worked at Ballantine Books, one of our authors was discovered that way and went on to publish at least 3 books with us. It was very cool, but that was the exception.
Sometimes the best thing to do is to find a name–preferably someone higher than an assistant–and send a letter of inquiry. If you can provide a summary or a full chapter (or both), that helps too.
There are tons of books on getting published, and (unfortunately) I’ve been contacted by more than a few of these folks seeking to edit their books before submitting to a publishing house. But books don’t generally need editing before going to, um, an editor. Plus, and this is with all due respect to any hopefuls out there, while some books go through very quickly (like an “instant” bio of the celebrity of the moment), most take a very long time to go through the entire process of acquisition through publication–and books by, say, “lesser” authors are certainly not high priority.
Wow, this is getting more detailed than I intended. And probably not that helpful. I think I forgot what I wanted to say!
🙁
:hubba: Is this Dick Cheney?
looks just like him! check this
Far be it from me to complain, but why doesn’t the “sad” emoticon work for me? (Sometimes it does, but more often than not, it doesn’t.)
THANKS KAHN! WOW!:doh:
Andy–
I’m using Replay AV. Pre-TMMS tests, as well as the first two shows I got, came through in oddly split files (10 minutes here, 47 minutes there). But last night I got just one BIG file. (Not that I’m complaining! I’d rather control the size of the splits myself.)
Oh, and for the record: I don’t have editorial connections! What I do is somewhat removed from the glitz of authors and such. It’s about checking grammar and maintaining consistency and verifying facts AFTER the editors have worked their magic. (Sometimes, the editors don’t work their magic and then I have to work mine.) Not very glamorous, but it pays the bills (somewhat) while I toil in my new industry (event planning).
TMI! Sorry. Guess I’m in a high-disclosure mood this a.m.
That’s OK, CK, we’ll all be sending you our manuscripts anyway.
I guess I’ll give that a try
Olbermann on O’Liely’s thrat against a caller
http://movies.crooksandliars.com/Countdown-Falafel-police.wmv
If I could write I’d have stuff on my blog by now! I was just curious about the process. Thanks again, kahn
I have a few crazy stories and ideas that I’d like to explore and develop though:doh:
Maybe in twenty years I’ll have that novel done:nod:
I wasn’t worried, Travis! (Well, maybe a little.) But only because I’ve had some bad experiences with people insisting I take a look at their manuscripts. I gotta tell you, I’ve yet to see one I wasn’t horribly embarrassed by! And then I have to break the bad news, which puts an unpleasant burden on me. (I actually lost a friendship rather than tell them the awful truth.)
And on that note, I’ve gotta go copyedit this damn kids’ book!
Later, :sheep:le!
There is this Democratic shill ex Clinton economic ad visor on C-span . His presence explains a lot as to why Clinton signed onto the WTO, GAT, and NAFTA but .. the callers seem to understand they are being screwed by this policy.. maybe there is hope after all.
Just watched that clip from Olbermann’s show. O’Reilly is a nutcase 😯
During that piece, they showed a video of Bill at a gathering and he was totally undressing that woman he was talking to. :tongue:
Calling it a damn kids’ book reminded me of a book I worked on about 8 or 10 years ago. It was horrible, it was about angels and miracles (it wasn’t the subject matter so much but the writing that was awful). I was doing it freelance on top of my regular job and it was sucking the life out of me. I kept calling it the “FUCKING angels book.” Then, on the very last day, when I was wrapping up, I came to a paragraph about the aftermath of a car accident that began this way:
“Ed grimly . . .”

BWAA HAA HAA!! Sean and Gypsy! Marc is really digging the blog world this time out!
I recorded Olbermann last night because I want to see what he says about O’Reilly.
Here is the resolution people are talking about from my own state of missouri 😯

Alaska is so great! Yup, yup!:nod:
Check it
You have to be kidding ISI! that’s insane! I don’t understand those people! Do they not comprehend the seperation of church and state clause in the constitution. I mean, they ARE legislators, right? They should know better. See, I have this theory…well, we’ll get into that later.:doh:
Oh…oops, I guess I was hooked:doh:
It’s like that thing to stop repubs from adopting children.
I don’t think the government should play around like this.
I finally got the whole show. I recorded three hours in 15-minute segments. Now, if I can figure out how to patch it together and use BitTorrent to get it out there…
Now the truth comes out. I’m stupid:doh:
interesting blog this morning.
thx for the insider’s tips on the publishing/editing world kahn. i lost a budding friendship once when an acquaintance gave me a copy of her self-published book. it was written so poorly i was shocked. i mean the book was laughably awful. yet she was so proud of it. i didn’t know what to say. so i avoided seeing her for a couple of years. i still avoid seeing her. if someone gives you a copy of his/her book and you don’t say anything, that’s as bad as telling them the book was awful, isn’t it. and if they give you a book, if they’re that bold, then they’re going to ask you what you think of it the next time they see you. i guess i need marc’s confessional to work this out. i don’t envy you having to tell a friend that the writing is terrible.
isi, the missouri radical religious agenda feels like watching a train wreck in slow motion, fascinating and horrifying, what can be done to stop it, all those ignorant frightened passioned people out there. they think they’re fighting for their lives, too. it’s soooo scary what they’re doing to our county.
travis, omg, the prudho spill, damn bp, they knew their pipes were corroded inside and out, haven’t tested them since 1998, even lowered the pressure inside the pipes instead of repairing them, now the fragile tundra is soaked with oil, makes me crazy.
what do you mean you’re stupid????
Oh, it runs in my family. Don’t worry.:nod:

Good morning all. What a great party eh!:nixon::billcat:
I fell asleep somewhere along the way. Woke up with my earbuds in.
Man, I feel sad that Nicki and I had that little clash 😥 I’m sorry, Nicki.
I’m trying to stay up for two days, like Sean:omg:
Hey PJ, do you mind if I send that link to Thursdays show to my friend in Chicago?
What are MAC users using to capture the stream?
That would be OK, KP.
I dunno. From what they say, Macs are so easy to use, the stream probably just jumps off the Internet and onto their hard drives.
:rofl2:
:yawn:This emoticon is making me yawn:yawn:
Um… not that easy PJ. I downloaded the Windoze Media Player but it never connects with Safari (with Panther) so I have Explorer open as well.
Explorer streams the feed and I flip between blogs on Safari.
Then I downloaded Wiretap for capturing when I am at home.
But I can’t friggen stand to hear Stephanie commercials over and over so I am hoping there is a podcast today.
:yawn: must have coffee.
I’m toast! See ya on Monday’s blog. Oh, and tell Nicki I’m sorry, if she comes by. Later, sheeple
The podcast is up!
You might want to try FireFox as an alternative to Safari, which, from what I hear can be somewhat problematic. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s anything like Real Alternative for the Mac. Have you tried downloading the Windows Media Components for QuickTime?
Later Travis, and watch out where the huskies go.
Hey, anybody have arthritis? I mean real arthritis.
Yeah- I wanted to love that Firefox -I should try it again. I just need to upgrade to Tiger on the PB it works with WMP on the desktop.
I have had this expensive two bar signal for two days now.
So I am only downloading podcasts.
Nephew gets married today.:priest::-(:40::alc::cry:
Why is that a sad thing? Don’t be so blue, man
Maybe I’m just a little slow with it. It’s an emotional thing. A happy kind of sad. I gotchya:wink:
Which arthritis Travis?
Ankylosing spondylitis? Osteoarthritis?
Both my nephews have the first. My mom had rheumatoid.
I don’t know which I have but it hurts.
I’m like the guy you had over for dinner, but wants to stay for a movie…sorry guys:doh: I’m catchin’ the drift
Which one? I don’t know. They all hurt, right? They just give it a different name depending on where it’s located and how fast it progresses.
I don’t mind being a blue really.
Ankylosing spondylitis? what’s that one?
ankle something?
:billcat: I think we did a good job of “birthin the baby” this week. But, I’m totally wiped out. Can’t get my mind to focus on writing anything. So, I’ll probably just be a lurker for a while.
But, it was such a great time. So great to hear Jason, Gypsy and Sean on the rad-i-o, and hear Jim mention Kristapea and see quiet girl’s sketches on Marc’s website and hear Marc’s appreciation for all of us. Thanks for throwing a great party, pj.
Seacrest OUT …
Is anyone else worried about the cat that died after eating the bird that had bird flu?
Should we tell Marc?
Oh, it’s of the spine. That’s that fun…I’m still looking at the facts..
I’ve never been diagnosed, but my knees hurt pretty much all the time – worse when the weather changes. My back hurts most of the time, too, where I broke it (very good weather indicator). My neck hurts all the time, too, come to think of it, and sometimes when I put a shirt on, my shoulders sound like firecrackers going off.
Oy, I sound like a little old man. My mother used to say to my father, “i got a pain,” and my dad would say, “yeah, so, everybody’s got pains.”
I had to go here to spell it.
But I think that my ankle has arthritis- I sprained it 2 years ago and now it bugs me alot after accelerating for 7 hours.
If you don’t have cruise control, you gotta find the right size stick to jam in there.
Is this the AARP blog?
It’s not very comforting, but it’s the truth, i guess:rofl2:
Go where, sbluefox
:rofl2:
I keep getting senior citizen’s discount offers on magazine subscriptions. What the hell’s up with that?
Yeah, I kinda miss that. That and my mom would say something, and my dad would say, “what?”
“You’re deaf.”
“I’m not deaf, you mumble.”
“I don’t mumble, you’re deaf.”
“What?”
What, you broke your back! That’s crazy. How’d that happen? Make it excitingly funny or satirical or something
Umm, I mean, please…If you want to.
PJ – you should pitch a book to Citizen khan.
Many, many knitting bloggers are getting book deals.
I drove from Seattle to Whistler and I will be finding my way around Vancouver first of the week. Haven’t been up here in a long time. I love all the Australian accents.
😡
At the 4 hour wedding rehearsal dinner I kept wanting to scream
“Let’s talk about the issues-we’re fighting for our lives here!:omg:
Yeah, you should do that later, blue. But when you stand up and yell, use you hands for the crazy affect. It adds emphasis to the, you know, craziness. Like Lewis Black
Fire! Fire!+:omg:

The New War on Women
Stealing Back Adam’s Rib
By RON JACOBS
I rarely write about so-called women’s issues. I think this is because I don’t really feel qualified since I am not a woman. That’s the effect identity politics has had on me and much of the rest of the left( and not so left). However, this is one of those instances where what appears to be a women’s issue is actually much more than that. Much much more. I’m talking about the recent law passed by the South Dakota legislature outlawing abortions. This law, which makes all abortion illegal in the state of South Dakota, is one of the most reactionary pieces of legislation ever passed in the United States.
It seems like it came from another country–perhaps a protofascist version of Superman’s Bizarroworld. Or maybe Hitler’s Germany. You know, the place of the three K’s (that’s right KKK). Those K’s stood for Kinder, Kirche und Kuche (Children, church and kitchen)–the only three places women belonged in the mind of the Nazis.. The sad truth is it did not originate in either of these places. It’s happening here in the United States. And the opposition is quiet. Or at least it isn’t being heard…
http://www.counterpunch.com
Ankylosing spondylitis: It’s an imflammatory disease, also a disorder of the immune system. All the Arthritis diseases concern the immune system attacking “self” like it’s “foreign.” A friend used to describe it as getting connective tissue that grows within the joints whenever at rest. You have to start moving to get the “connections” to break. I don’t see that on any “official” type sites, but that’s how he spoke of it.
How much do we like the Stephanie Miller ads on KTLK?:doh:
I don’t remember much of anything, right now:doh: I’m fightin’ the sheep
I generally dislike commercials by “personalities.” You *know* they’re not doing it for any other reason than they’re getting big bucks for it.
Yeah, it’s like you have to warm up the engine before you start using it, Phoener. I guess…
:hubba:
This can’t be Dick–sneer’s on the wrong side.
“I didn’t jump into a pack of MIGs for ego,” Cunningham said, looking at prosecutors…
:rofl2:
For reasons not all clear to me, I can’t stand Stephanie.:omg:
Alone, I don’t think she’d be stand-able. It’s Jim & Chris, mostly Jim, that make it enjoyable. They do work well with each other. I wish they’d let Jim comment more, rather than do “voices”.
Besides, SM is better than Springer. :barf:
Well, since you asked, I went to this Dead concert at Silver Stadium in Rochester with a couple of guys, and a couple of girls that I knew. Funny part was I had a little pickup truck, so the guys had to ride in the back.
Anyhow, I paid to park in a municipal lot, and figured we’d be staying all night, so I didn’t worry about imbibing (in various things). Great show, we’re hanging out and whooping it up with a few thousand others, when all of a sudden the Rochester mounted police force comes in and says “OUT!”
This didn’t seem like a wise move to me, creating a very wasted traffic jam in the middle of the night, but, well, they were insistent. I’m in no condition to drive, so I have one of the girls take the wheel. So, we’re trying to drive out, and we’re in traffic, and it’s kinda foggy and the red lights are going and shining off the fog, and horses are going by, and there are freaks everywhere making faces and, well, in the state I was in, I was kinda just staring out the window, diggin’ it all.
So, we get out of Rochester, finally, and we’re all beat, so we pull off the road into a field to get some sleep. Damned if a cop doesn’t come by, and we tell him “we’re beat,” and he says, “OK, but if you’re here when I get back, you’re going to jail.” OK, well, I’m still in no condition to drive, so off we go with the girl still driving.
We get back to where one of the girls lived (it’s about an hour and a half ride, and we’re on the back roads, ‘cuz no way we should be going through a toll booth on the NYS Thruway), and they go inside. We can’t go in, ‘cuz they live with their parents (I might mention that they were high school girls, one of whom worked for me at my movie theatre – I wasn’t much older; just 25 or so, so it isn’t like I was a pervert or anything. Well, I was, but not an old pervert yet), and apparently (‘cuz I don’t quite remember it), I took over the wheel at this point.
Now, here, things are a little fuzzy. The next thing I recall is waking up at a “T” intersection – still driving – that was up a little grade. It T’d into a cornfield, and as I woke up, I tried to make the left turn (bad move), but there was gravel and, well, apparently, the truck went sideways, rolled about five times (the guy in the back of the truck went flying), and came to rest. I say apparently, ‘cuz I really don’t remember.
All I remember is standing in a cornfield, looking at the bottom of my truck, and thinking, “you really fucked up this time.” Apparently, I spoke with the two guys I was with (both were fine, thank God) but I don’t remember. My first instinct was to book, so I booked.
Now, it turns out that I was filthy dirty (what with rolling around in the corn field and all), wearing shorts and a T-shirt (it was summer), sneakers no longer on my feet (never did find them), and bleeding rather profusely from a hole below my lower lip, and another over my eye.
As I boogied along in panic mode, I recall thinking “man, what if those guys are hurt? I gotta get help.” I really wish I’d remembered talking to them.
Anyhow, came to a house, nobody home. Came to another house (this is farm country, so there aint many houses), nobody home. So, I found a door open, went in and called 911 or whatever it was at the time – probably just “0.” I often wondered what the homeowners thought when they came home and found their kitchen all dirty and bloody.
Anyway, I get the cops on the phone and tell ’em I got no clue where I am and I’m in somebody’s house but they aint home and I got no idea where exactly I am there might be two people hurt, and I’m also starting to not feel so hot at this point, myself….
So, I start walking the two miles back toward the cornfield, and when I get back in the vicinity, there’re sheriff’s cars all over and dogs, and a helicopter buzzing around, and so I guess I musta walked up and said “hi” or something. I reckon it was obvious who I was at that point.
So, they take me in the ambulance, and I’m pretty tired and my back kinda hurts, and there’s all this bleeding going on, but at the hospital, they stitch up my mouth and my eye, and then I try to sit up and everything goes white and there’s a sharp pain in my back, and I say, “whoa, man. I better just stay here for a while.” I figured I was just kinda sore from doing all that rolling around and such.
After a few hours and no luck in getting up, the doc says, “look, man, that aint right. You need x-rays.” So, OK, off we go for x-rays, and, well, turns out I had crushed my T-10 vertebra (typical MVA thing, from what I hear), and damned if it didn’t hurt worse than anything I ever felt in my life (which was better than feeling no pain at all, of course). Took me – literally – 20 – 30 minutes to go from lying flat to sitting to standing just to get up and take a piss.
I was a quarter inch shorter than I was before, too.
So, anyhow, that’s how I broke my back.
Speaking of the book publishing racket, what do the readers think of Dan Brown’s writing? As exhibited in
The Da Vinci Code?He should be embarrassed. “Laughing all the way to the bank.”:omg:
Then he thunderously proclaimed,” I did it ’cause I like Wrestlin’.” Then Mr. Cunningham hoped up out of his seat, broke into an extravagant jig, like Jackson Brown, twisting and twirling, until he, after just a few brief moments, collapsed, mumbling something about his hip bothering him. Laying there on court’s floor, spread eagle, he whispered, with a nasaly, gaspy voice, almost silently,”It’s…my….arthritis. Damn…Arthritis”
And Arthritis is damned to this very day…The End
This shit took too long…I give up.
I was busy looking at the pictures.
Shit, PJ! Damn! That’s, man…
I don’t know what to say, man.
Oh, that’s what we’re giving Pakistan.
Well, hell, Travis, it was twenty years ago, so I’m pretty much over it by now.
Yeah, but I just read it! :doh:

PJ–you still here? (My puter crashed.) I’ve just read through your incident report… Damn, man. What did you have to have done? Have you had surgery?
By “Jill” are you talkin’ ta me? Hey, I’m an older person….I need my sleep at night and I have a blog to run. I (heart) you all. You should have seen me jumping around like a total dork this morning while listening to the recorded feed from last night: “Gypsy! Sean! I know these people!!!”
It was a night/morning to remember!
Not for that. I had to wear a back brace for a while, but that was it. Other than to hurt like hell. I was back to work – part time, at first – in six weeks (of course, I was a movie theatre manage/projectionist at the time, so it wasn’t like I was doing construction).
And your back’s been okay since that?
pj, whew, glad you got through that and you’re ok, what a story.
Where’s the damn firetruck?
Morning folks. Happy to join the Morning Seditionists blog posters.
That was a long night, but honestly it was great.
Netflix is supposed to have “Left of the Dial” for me downstairs in my mailbox so today is full of watching film about radio and finishing some podcasts. Woo-hoo!
I just saw LotD, bought it from Amazon or BN or something. I think between that and Marc’s premiere, it inspired me to go Premium. I’ll kick myself later, I know. But “Noble Cause” and all that…
Phoener…
Just got it from my mailbox.
Yeah, I went premium because even though I’m not that thrilled with Air America Mornings, I realized that I DO miss hearing it. Or having the option to hear it.
Feel like I’m being bent over a chair and royally fucked by it (price) nonetheless. I’d gladly hear a podcast with a few commericals (like almost EVERY OTHER PODCAST HAS!) than pay cash to a company that hasn’t exactly been giving me what it’s promised.
Oh well. Doesn’t matter. Still paying.
:omg:
Painting Girl!
Quiet Girl.
Art Girl?
:fire::fire::sheep::rabbi::omg::rofl2: Gotta go!
Yeah, and now I’ve got to figure out how to get a podcast that I can actually download to my Treo. Doesn’t want to recognize a .rm file, even though it’s got RealPlayer on it. Just wants .mp3’s for some reason.
I’m trying to optimize my AAR profile. What is the most desirable advertiser demographic (i.e., who do advertisers want to reach)? With AAR asking for my birthdate, I figure they want that info for advertisers. So….
Who can tell me the best year to be born? :hubba:
Too old, and it’s all Viagra ads. Too young, and it’s Hansen. Or whatever the pre-teens go for now. Obviously, I’m on the Viagra end of the spectrum.
My turn to say goodbye. Dinner w/ brother for his birthday, lunch tomorrow for grandson’s birthday.
Yeah, pretty much. No big deal, really. Coulda been a lot worse, and of course it’s a lot more fun to say you broke your back than you had a T-10 compression fracture.
PJ, that was some story! It was almost like Alice’s Restaurant, with its twists and turns. Glad it wasn’t more serious. Amazing what our bodies can withstand (especially when we’re young).
Loved the Steely Dan reference, btw. Big fans over here.
MJK–
Say you were born in 1970.
Yeah, I was gonna try and work in something about how the cops took twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photos with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, explainin’ how they was gonna use it as evidence against me, but I was going for the short version.
Netflix is supposed to have “Left of the Dial” for me downstairs in my mailbox so today is full of watching film about radio and finishing some podcasts. Woo-hoo!

SHIT! I was out being a good consumer today and COMPLETELY forgot to look for LOTD. However, I did manage to snag the video iPod, so hopefully the funny will become portable shortly as soon as I learn how to work the damn thing.
Krista, to answer your question from last night: Not just that many, but MORE!
:40: :rofl2:
pj, did you remember the words to that arlo guthrie song by heart or did you get out your old album and put it on the turntable or did look the words up on the web or what? reading the words got the tune stuck in my head, which i love, so thx!
citizenkahn, we figured out how to download marc’s show using mininova torrents. explaining how we did it is another task, though. i’ll get back to you later about how we did it.
thanks fred for telling us each day when the latest show was available via bit torrents.
finally i can hear everything i missed from marc’s shows this last week. :nixon:
hey someone get me the show either through the instant messenger or through the damn e-mail!!!!! come on in the next hour i need it!!!!!
wtf HELLOOOOOOO HELLLOOOOOO IS ANYBODY OUT THERRREEEE
so i went over to a dog show today (a fun match, not a “real” one) to just get Madmoiselle Gigi out and also to check out the rally obedience….ANYWAY, my dog trainer stated to me that she quit AARP because they are too liberal ❗ :rofl2:
Well,the lady has been getting mean lately & it’s really turning me off and now I know why. I mean,if she can’t make a better informed choice about AAR f*cking P, then I’ll be gall-darned if I’ll trust her with my dog again! 😮
Those are the words as I remember them, so I wouldn’t doubt that they’re a bit off. To play my copy of the song, I’d have to find an 8-track deck (believe it or not; also have Grank Funk LIVE ALBUM, 3 Dog Night Suitable for Framing, and a few others, I think, that still survive – stole ’em from my brother – don’t tell on me).
Ah, there was just something so endearing about that clunk-over right in the middle of a hot guitar solo. I can remember sitting there going “hurry up, hurry up, goddamnit!”
Oy. We quit because they backed that freakin’ horrible Medicare prescription Drug Scam. Actually, I’m not even eligible for AARP. Somebody else in my household was. 🙄
pj, you’re so lucky you’re ok – especially crushing the thing and then walking walking walking… most especially, the guy who flew out the back is one lucky man.
Welcome Painted Girl – glad you’re here!
PJ, did they charge you with anything?
Kev – FIANLLY YOU GOT THAT DAMN THING. :banana:
Kev – FIANLLY YOU GOT THAT DAMN THING.

Tell me about it. Hopefully it won’t take me as long to figure out how to work it as it did to get it in the first place.
Tonight on ABC news, a reporter (didn’t catch his name) referred to the Pakistanis protesting Bush’s visit as “a vocal minority.” WTF planet is this guy living on? Most Pakistanis despise Bush, especially now that he’s handed India the keys to the nuclear Chevy. :no:
Maybe the reporter is auditioning for Fox News. :fu:
Speaking of which, Gaijinda, there’s another Keith Olbermann clip on crooksandliars.com concerning O’Lielly’s summoning of “Fox Security” to contact a guy who got on the radio Factor and dared to mention Olbermann’s name. Just when I think O’Lielly can’t make a bigger ass out of himself, he proves me wrong.
:rofl2:
And don’t sweat posting that other clip a couple of days late. It warranted a second look. Plus, look at it this way… had you been in Japan at the time, you would have had first dibs on the infamous Bush 1 upchuck.
:barf:
:jason:friggin computer bastard fuck shit fricking fracking grrrrrrr:no:
Yes he is. Interestingly enough, I didn’t have my seat belt on, but the guy up front with me did. When I saw the truck later on, the roof on the driver’s side was smooshed down to almost the seat level, but on the passenger’s side, it was only smooshed a little bit. I guess I went out the window and managed to not get rolled on, but had I had my seatbelt on, I think I might have been flattened.
First new vehicle I ever owned, too. Damn, I loved that little truck.
Yes they did. Let’s just say it was an expensive lesson in more than one way, and a mistake I have made a point to never repeat.
Watching LOTD right now with the Randi Rhodes and Marc Maron commentary.
This is a pretty good DVD package…
Makes me even more pissed about MS going off the air.
And this makes me like Randi.
:fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire:
woo hoo new maron on my ipod kick ass woo hoo
I’d like to hear the commentary. I’ll have to get the DVD. Last time I tried to watch LOTD it made me sad, so I stopped it. Maybe now that Marc’s back, I can try again.
i like randi
i cant find that damn dvd anywhere friggin rethuglican ass best buy isnt stocking it but they stock the wal-mart movie that shit doesnt make any sense ugh wtf well i suppose i will find it one day not in north dakota i dont think though
Hey Sean, every time you have to go to a Wal-Mart, you should go in and ask them for Left of the Dial, and the Robert Greenwald’s WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price.
So, what kind of ipod did you get Kevin?
can’t find lotd anywhere here (australia). stands to reason though, only made in region 1 format. am in region 4 here but the dvd players
are muli-region, thankyou free trade agreement, now i have to pay a teriff. and they won’t tell it how much it will be, geez
But we won’t mention any names.:no: :rant1::rant1::spank:
I’ve put up with a lot in PJs exposition of our life story together and the Hospice courtship and the snotty :spank: nurse references. I’m even less happy that AARP started sending me shit before I even turned 50 and I wasn’t thrilled about being reminded that every day was one day closer to death (although according to the actuarial tables, our death projections are not too far apart from each other, so neither one of us should be alone for too terribly long before we meetup again wherever it is that one meets up with other dead people :priest::gate::billcat::yinyang::pent::cake::omg:). AARP still keeps sending me shit & I write “TAKE ME OFF YOUR GODDAM MAILING LIST” :fist:in big black marker on everything they send & stuff all the paper back into their postpaid envelopes to go back to them. Don’t know when they’ll stop sending me shit, but it is costing them a lot more money to keep harassing me than it is to just take me off their goddam mailing list:doh::roll:
MrsPJ
raging granny! gotta love the name! i don’t get anything from the aarp, being gone from the usa for almost 5 years now. but do get repulican mail outs from ohio, strange because i was registered as independant there. and they make it here on domestic stamps! and yea, i deny every one!
Wonder what poor schlub they’ll try and hang for this.
What, am I in trouble now? I guess the dog and I better stay sequestered here in the bunker for a while.
I rented LOTD today from Movie Madness. Hope the extras are good–with lots of Marc and Mark/Sedition footage. My Morning Sedition circulation tapes need a fresh infusion.
as my husband says, men are always in trouble, is just the depth that varies
:rabbi:Who is going to church tomorrow? The local St. Maron one of course.:jesus:
I considered it when I took those pics last time because mass was just starting but I decided I didn’t feel like being stared at as the stranger in the midst.
It was a small church buried in a neirghborhood.
Dress the part, next time.:rabbi::priest::rofl2:
Our Man Marc’s Maronite Parish at 1320 East 51st Street, Austin, TX 78723.
:rabbi::priest::jesus::peace::omg:
:rofl2::rofl2: :gate: :priest:
Eh, I don’t wanna sit through a boring sermon. I can’t stop yawning, it’s really embarrassing.:yawn:
I’m not even CE christian anymore. Just :santacool:
What a damn shame there’s no Maron tonight, when I don’t have work tomorrow! Guess I’ll have to review this past week’s shows.
I just got around to watching Colbert interview Ben Franklin. Goddamn, that was funny.
Nicki…
There’s a bit more of Maron in the deleted scenes. A fantastic bit about addiction and your inner addiction-need-demons getting older and tired.
That part alone almost makes the whole thing worth it.
Good to see you over here Painting Girl. There’s better smileys over here!:bow::banana::priest:
Yeah. I just viewed that Maron stand-up footage. It looks like it was taken around the same time as the “Not Sold Out” CD (NYC) was recorded. Morning Sedition rehearsal footage, too. I have yet to wade through the Maron commentary on the movie.
:rabbi::nixon::omg:
How is the AAR station in Phoenix struggle going? Ignorant fundamentalists are at it again. I could tell you a few stories about public radio and the Rapture Rightists. (The Missoula, MT station got axed, too, despite high ratings.)
I remember several years ago when lefties would discuss the difficulties of getting on the air. Mainly, finding enough advertisers. This wasa major reason why progressive radio was not succeeding. Anyway, from what I gathered, The Missoula AAR was killed for that reason.
Something for you Clipper fans and Buffalo dwellers.
Look at a list of the NBA statistical leaders these days and one name stands out- Bob McAdoo of the Buffalo Braves.
McAdoo’s name is up there among the league leaders in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage and blocked shots.
The Braves’ 6′-10″ center has become the NBA’s newest superstar, polling the third highest vote total in the league for the NBA All- Star game in Seattle…
Ernie D. dishes the rock against Portland (1975)We’re holding all the cards!
When the Buffalo Braves drafted and signed Ernie DiGregorio, the super- star from Providence, a new era began in big league sports in Buffalo.
:rofl2:
The Los Angeles Clippers first came into existence as the Buffalo Braves in 1970. The Braves were one of three expansion franchises to join the NBA that year.
:omg: Another history lesson.
travis, your story about mr. cunningham, :rofl2::nixon:
isi, thx for the gore vidal link. i sent it on to some friends.
thanks, Blue. I was pretty out of it when I did that :40: I’m still out there. Be back in a little bit sheeple
What gets me about the AAR station in Phoenix is the guy that when to Crawford and was the go to guy for AAR shows sounded like they had it going it just bugs me big time!:-( The Missoula thing almost sounds like there were moles on the inside(sales) taking it down:!::?:
Yes. I heard Malloy mention that Missoula AAR ad sellers were dogging it. Fucking rightwing capitalist dog dominionists!
:omg::no:
:billcat:
got the wedding bell blues…
And now I’m KICKING myself about the ARRP:mad::eek:
The faster they can get a station in Phoenix the better looking at the rateings there are a lot of them that are like not doing very good need find one owned my some small outfit that needs a boost:fire:
ahhhhhhh well i am off to long island going to NORTH DAKOTA from there fuck i dont wanna go there!!!!!
Slighty edited, still funny…maybe
Then he thunderously proclaimed,” I did it ’cause I like wrestlin’.” Then Mr.Cunningham hoped up out of his seat, broke into an extravagant jig- like the young James Brown- twisting and twirling until he, after just a few brief moments, collapsed, mumbling something about his hip bothering him. Laying there on the court’s floor spread eagle, he whispered with a nasaly, gaspy voice almost silently,”It’s…my….arthritis. Damn…arthritis”
And arthritis is damned to this very day…The End
Is gaspy even a word? Isn’t that a book? You know, The Great Gaspy:billcat:
Ah, yes, two sentence stories are the best!:bong:
:jason:cut up moles!!!!! save aar!!!!!
Say hello to Deadwood for me oh wait thats South Dakota never mind :?::eek:
Kick some mole ass:doh::crap:
Yeah, I have a confession. I don’t know how to use these comma things or these dash things…my arm itches
