So much to do, so little time. I don’t suppose anybody made it to Marc’s show in New Orleans last night, did they? If so, don’t forget to give us a review. I wonder if there’s any chance we’ll be able to stream the full Maron next week? I certainly hope so. And I hope the show doesn’t lose anything by being pre-recorded, but since it’s pretty much always pre-recorded before I get to hear it, it won’t matter much to me. Except y’all won’t be able to call and blog during the show, I guess, which kinda sucks. But, hey, we’re open 24/7, and there’s free refills on the :joe:

Clippers delay. No Maron. Hopefully Harrison will be OK.

Well, here we are at the end of yet another week. And what a week it’s been. Tom DeLay is down and out. Danny Goldberg is up and out (or over, or something). The Dpartment of Homeland Security is full of pedophiles. The US Attorney General (who has taken an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States”) testified yesterday that not only can the president spy on Americans who might be talking to foreign nationals, but that he “wouldn’t rule out” wiretapping of totally domestic calls without a warrant, either (again, I think the fourth amendment is possibly the most simply written and easy to understand piece of the constitution, but then again I think “thou shalt not kill” should be pretty fucking clear to all those hate-filled, war mongering bible thumpers out there, too). We now know that dubya authorized the leak of the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq (or we know, at least, that Libby said that Cheney said that Georgie said it’d be OK). Even Fox News has Bush’s approval ratings down in the 30’s (he’s even losing ground with Republicans, which is really all he’s got left, since independents left this boat a loooong time ago), so – surprise, surprise – now they’re putting the word out that a military confrontation with Iran is “unavoidable.” That, and there’s no Marc tonight. I hope Bill Maher doesn’t have any wingnuts on later, or you might find me out teevee shopping in the morning. Happy Friday y’all – and a special howdy to Farmerkat, now that we know she’s up and reading the blog.

Hey, we should get our second (and last) full show of the week tonight, since there’s no Clippers game (and the LA Avengers don’t play until Sunday). And no Marc at all tomorrow, since he’ll be in the Big Easy doing a benefit. Tonight, though, it’s a big show, with Rovespert Wayne Slater, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, movie critic Svetlana, and a call from Planet Bush correspondent Lawton Smalls.

Ah, finally, a real day off. Just me and the other animals home today. Maybe I can try fixing my earbuds today. A damn wire must’ve broken or come loose, and I’ve lost my left side (unless I wiggle and push, which sounds like a lot more fun than it really is). I was able to slide the boot back from the plug, but under there it’s plastic and pretty well sealed up. Anybody know any tricks for getting the plastic stuff off? Otherwise, I’m gonna have to cut the damn thing off, and splice on a another one, which will look awfully ugly. The damn things were expensive, or I wouldn’t bother (and they’re just so much more comfortable – and better sounding – than anything else I have). Oh well, whattya gonna do?

Yet another short show tonight, though it shouldn’t be quite as short as last night. Game time is 7:00, so I’d plan on about a half-hour delay, give or take. It’s goo dto know they’ll be doing a full two-hour show starting next week, though I hope we hear a few more details tonight – or at least by the end of the week. It would be nice if AAR would stream the show from their site so we can all listen to it. I have a feeling that the Marc Maron Show is detined to become the most popular show AAR’s got, and it’ll be interesting to see if Marc and Jim can parlay that into something nationwide (on real stations). I’d love to see it syndicated in NYC, and kick the shit out of the Satellite Sisters.

Hey, if they tape the show, we can all start calling in during Stephanie Miller, and ask what time Marc gets in.

Up and out fairly early this morning, so you’ll all have to let me know if anything important is going on in the world (like who Campbell Brown got married to, or if Katie Couric is getting a live colonoscopy, or if they kicked somebody off American Idol or something). Otherwise, I’ll catch y’all later.

Looks like a late start tonight. With the Clippers tipoff set for 7:30, expect a good hour or so delay. It doesn’t get much better over the next couple of weeks, either, with a 7:00 game on Wednesday, and 7:30 games Friday, and next Mon, Wed, and Fri, too. Supposedly the show goes into syndication begining on the 17th, though, so we should see full two-hour shows form there on out. If we can figure out when it’ll be on, and where we can listen to it, of course.

I like Tuesdays, because I don’t have to go to class. But, I dislike Tuesdays, because I usually have a ton of shot to do for my Wednesday morning class, which is the case once again this week. Plus I have a virtual meeting with my “team” later on tonight, because there’s apparently some big group project we need to do. Or something. I dunno. I really need to look at this stuff once in a while. Even worse, I’ve only really been able to do hit and run looks at the news and political sites, so I feel woefully underinformed. Is Cheney still a Dick? I dubya still a dummy? Is it true that Condi has to trade her hair in for offical, Army-issue armor?

Looks like it’ll be an on-time show tonight, with John Amato from Crooksandliars.com, plus Paul Haggis (which is a sheep’s stomach filled with lamb’s liver or soem somethgin, I beleive), who wrote Million Dollar Baby and is writer/director of Crash, and then Neil Strauss will be in to talk about his book, The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pick Up Artists.
