Did Seder's show air live on your local affiliate?

Since "The Laura Flanders Show" has ended (except for the recorded RadioNation), this is a good time to contact affiliates and suggest "Seder on Sunday" for the weekend line-up.

He told me, he did not doubt, that, in eight years more, he should be able to supply the governor's gardens with sunshine, at a reasonable rate: but he complained that his stock was low, and entreated me to give him something as an encouragement to ingenuity, especially since this had been a very dear season for cucumbers.

PATNA, India (Reuters) - Turned down for marriage due to his dark complexion, an Indian man staged a hunger strike outside his would be bride's house for two days before she finally relented, an official said Saturday.

Saral Prasad, the 23-year-old groom in eastern Bihar state, said he would not budge from the girl's village home after she refused to marry him earlier this week in an arranged marriage because he was too dark.

Rajani, 19, changed her mind after two days and the couple got married, Arun Kumar Mishra, a village council official said.

"We were all taken by surprise but Rajani was finally moved by the gesture of the young man and married him," Mishra said.

Most Indian women, especially those in rural areas, often have no choice in matters of marriage, and are coerced into it by relatives and parents.

He's a putz and he needs Janeane to put him in his place.

Sen. Obama must make take a stand with AIPAC. He must declare that the U.S. needs to "preserve our total commitment to our unique defense relationship with Israel." In fact, this was the title of Sen. Obama's speech to the AIPAC Policy Forum, on March 2, 2007, in Chicago. "As the U.S. redeploys from Iraq, we can recapture lost influence in the Middle East," said Sen. Obama. "We can refocus our efforts to critical, yet neglected priorities, such as combating international terrorism and winning the war in Afghanistan. And we can, then, more effectively deal with one of the greatest threats to the United States, Israel and world peace: Iran."

Pirates halt Somali aid shipments

Deliveries of food aid to Somalia by sea have been halted, after an attempt by pirates to seize a ship chartered by the UN food relief agency.

The head of the World Food Programme said their programme to feed one million Somalis is under threat.

The WFP-chartered vessel was attacked on Saturday off the Somali port of Merka after it had just delivered 4,000 tons of food.

The pirates killed a guard who was among a group sent to intercept them.

Following the attack, the agents for a ship loaded with food in Mombasa in Kenya have refused to allow the vessel to set sail for Somalia until they are given an armed escort.

"We are not taking any risks after being victims four times. We planned to go to Somali this week but following Saturday's incident our ship will not sail," Karim Kudrat who owns MV Rozen that was hijacked in Puntland said.

Shipping is the main and fastest way of getting food relief into Somalia.

"There are 1 billion school-age children in the developing world and most don`t have an opportunity to learn," said Walter Bender, president of software for the One Laptop project. "We`re trying to go where there`s an education gap, as technology happens to be a vehicle to bridge that gap."

"The laptops all talk to each other automatically have voice chat, file sharing and all that can be done between laptops without Internet," "If any laptop has access to the Internet all can share it."
The machines come loaded with children`s books in local languages, along with encyclopedias and more.

Concerns over theft, repairs, and maintenance have also been raised.

In addition, he says that the president is committed to the project and the national telecom company is pledging to provide Internet access to all schools by 2009.

McCain is the only top candidate to praise the bill. Others are cautious or outright critical.
By Mark Z. Barabak, May 19, 2007

The Senate's compromise immigration bill is forcing the presidential candidates to confront a divisive issue that is offering something for everyone to hate.

Unlike the war in Iraq, which separates lawmakers mainly along party lines, the immigration issue fractures Republican and Democratic ranks from within — splitting business interests from social conservatives, dividing labor advocates from Latino groups.

"The issue is fraught with danger," said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster. "It's one where it's tough to please everybody within your base or coalition."

Excerpts:

President Bush allows the original NSA program to continue for the two to three weeks it takes the DoJ to work out the details of the necessary changes.

The cleaned-up program — which only becomes public in December 2005 — is approved by DoJ.

No one resigns.

---------------

There are so many questions here.

But despite the impressive resignation threats, are there really any heroes here?

In the end, didn't Comey, Ashcroft, and Mueller still sign off on a domestic surveillance program whose legality is hugely debated?

Why did the DoJ, after the NSA program was already over two years old, suddenly decide it was illegal?

------------

I particularly like the following line:

"When the last bastion of liberty and the rule of law is John Ashcroft, the situation has left insanity far behind and started breaking new trails into parody."

Using tools the Founding Fathers gave us can energize calls for impeachment of Bush and Cheney

By Howard Zinn

The realities of the Iraq War cry out for the overthrow of a government that is criminally responsible for death, mutilation, torture, humiliation, chaos.

But all we hear in the nation's capital, which is the source of those catastrophes, is a whimper from the Democratic Party, muttering and nattering about "unity" and "bipartisanship."

These are the Democrats who were brought to power in November by an electorate fed up with the war, furious at the Bush administration and counting on the new majority in Congress to represent the voters.

But if sanity is to be restored in our national policies, it can only come about by a great popular upheaval, pushing both Republicans and Democrats into compliance with the national will.

The Declaration of Independence, revered as a document but ignored as a guide to action, needs to be read from pulpits and podiums, on street corners and community radio stations throughout the nation. Its words need to become a call to action for the first time since it was read aloud to crowds in the early excited days of the American Revolution: "Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and institute new government."

Gingrich Cites ‘Opportunity’ To ‘Convert All Of America’ To Fundamentalism
Newt Gingrich delivered the commencement address at Liberty University this weekend, decrying what he called the “growing culture of radical secularism” and lavishing praise on the late Rev. Jerry Falwell.

Gingrich claimed Americans draw strength from Falwell’s “life model,” and said that Falwell, who infamously called the 9/11 attacks God’s punishment on the United States, “bore witness to the Truth” and “knew this truth in his bones.”

But perhaps Gingrich’s most controversial remarks came in an interview after his speech, in which Gingrich cited the opportunity “to convert all of America.”

Gingrich said after his speech that Falwell’s death would not slow the Christian right’s efforts.

“Anybody on the left who hopes that when people like Reverend Falwell disappear that the opportunity to convert all of America has gone with them fundamentally misunderstands why institutions like this were created,” Gingrich said.

Watch a compilation of local news reports on Gingrich’s address:

Today's Must Read
By Paul Kiel - May 21, 2007, 10:02 AM
Meet Hans von Spakovsky, yet another major player in what McClatchy straightforwardly calls the administration's "vote-suppression agenda."

We've spent a lot of time introducing you to one of von Spakovsky's closest peers, Bradley Schlozman. Schlozman, you'll remember, presided over the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division with an iron hand, making sure that the division was stocked with hard-line Republicans and that career staff in the voting rights section in particular were punished when they stepped out of line. Schlozman was rewarded for his tenure there with an appointment as the U.S. attorney for Kansas City in 2006 -- he proved reliable there too, delivering voter-fraud indictments just days before the election. Schlozman will be appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee in two weeks, alongside Todd Graves, the fired U.S. attorney he replaced.

Well, Von Spakovsky was Tweedledee to Schlozman's Tweedledum at the Civil Rights Division. The two worked together in overseeing the voting rights section, and in particular in ensuring that the section, which is tasked with stopping the implementation of voting laws that might impinge on the rights of minorities, did not block voter ID laws. As I reported last month, the two teamed up to make life hell for one section analyst who had had the temerity to object to Georgia's voter ID law (the one ultimately blocked by a federal judge who compared it to a Jim Crow-era poll tax).

But as McClatchy reports this morning, von Spakovsky did not confine his activities to the Justice Department. He was also busy making sure that the Election Assistance Commission, a tiny agency that serves as the government's election information clearinghouse, stayed in line. And that meant making sure that whatever research it published conformed to the voter-fraud orthodoxy. But unfortunately for von Spakovsky, the commission's chairman Paul DiGregorio was hard to control:

After the commission hired both liberal and conservative consultants to work on the studies in 2005, e-mails show that von Spakovsky tried to persuade panel members that the research was flawed.
In an Aug. 18, 2005, e-mail to Chairman DiGregorio, he objected strenuously to a contract award for the ID study to researchers at Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law, who were teaming with a group at Rutgers University.

Von Spakovsky wrote that Daniel Tokaji, the associate director of Moritz' election program, was "an outspoken opponent of voter identification requirements" and that those "pre-existing notions" should disqualify him from federal funding for impartial research.

So von Spakovsky (surprise, surprise) got him canned:

Last September, the White House replaced DiGregorio with Caroline Hunter, a former deputy counsel to the Republican National Committee. DiGregorio confided to associates that he was told that von Spakovsky influenced the White House's decision not to reappoint him, said the two people close to the panel.
Asked about his ouster, DiGregorio said only that he "was aware that Mr. von Spakovsky was not pleased with the bipartisan approaches that I took."

Now, von Spakovsky, like Schlozman, was also rewarded for his time in the Civil Rights Division. He was given a recess appointment to sit as a commissioner on the Federal Election Commission in December 2005. A confirmation hearing --which you can expect to be contentious -- is scheduled for June 13th.

Hey! Sam's on KPTK, am 1090, the progressive station. I had no idea!
1-4 pm on Sundays!

This is great, I haven't been able to listen for months, since he changed time to the morning.

OM bhur bhuvah svah tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo
yo nah pracodayat.

Morning everyone. :)

Yes! Podcast! Sorry I missed the debut, Sammer. Plz understand I was busy hauling 23,000 lbs of gravel on Sunday for our new circular driveway. Gotta do that kinda stuff on days when you can get the friends to come over and help!

I Know. I Know. I'm Fucking Fabulous.

Hauling gravel? How're you feeling today? Sore?

A fine day in Chicago....you?

Things are great! *rolls eyes*

Every spring my Muffin loves to do the gardening & landscaping thingie. Her contribution is flashing the plastic at the various nurseries. Of course, *I* get the "to do" part.

My lumbar belt & ibuprophen are my best friends this time of the year.

Oh! And I think you got the wrong orifice w/ nobs:

Nobs uses the the ol' drill-up-the-nostril trick to keep his sinuses open. He inserts the drill in his EAR to express his displeasure at blogs. *snark*

think you mean 5/20 ?

AND since the bloggie has individual personal time settings

the time signatures are different for everyone

AND so we've lost that common refferent.

*

SAM SEDER!!!

you might get us all on the same time page so we can refer to previous posts without confusion... NY time is fine with me.

*

And finally Doris you solved a puzzle for us!

we we're wondering what that was all about!

what exactly is the Gayatri mantra?

MORFTERNOON!

doin fine 60th!

back to my current project this afternoon.

eya LaL:

"Every spring my Muffin loves to do the gardening & landscaping thingie"

(yer screwed bud... hire the hood kids!)

i'm not even gonna speculate

on what he does with his other orifices...

Hey you guys! :D Good to read you again.

Keeping the Internet free!

Thanks!

An apt description from The Daily Dish (and one that reminds me of Orwell's 1984):

The Fate of Conservatism

A reader writes:

You wrote:

"What matters is faith in a leader and unremitting violence in accomplishing goals. Whatever else this is, it isn't conservatism as I have come to understand it."

What American 'conservatism' has become fits closely within the definition of fascism: an intensely nationalist movement intent on defining membership in the 'nation' on linguistic, religious, and (increasingly) ethnic/racial criteria, accompanied by an unquestioning loyalty to (male) authority, enshrined in family leaders, business leaders, religious leaders, and especially, the leader of the nation, who is seen as embodying the Nation. Loyalty to the Party or Movement and its ideology is of great importance. Violence is the preferred means of accomplishing goals. Diplomacy, compromise, negotiation, are all identified with (feminine) weakness. The rule of law is also despised, because it lacks the immediacy of (violent) action, and its emphasis on balance and its concern with proper procedure is also seen as a sign of (feminine) weakness.

This is the outcome of the bargain the GOP made with the Devil back when it decided to go for the Wallace voters after the ’68 and ’72 elections. Kevin Phillips has repented a hundred times over for counseling the Southern Strategy, but too late. The GOP has discovered that when you sell your soul to the Devil, the only question is when does the Devil come to collect?

Well, he's come.

I am so sad that I missed the show yesterday....

I still haven't heard the show yet.

C'mon!

Hiya Sunshine Jim,
Didn't know the time signatures were set up that way. I thought it was posted in Universal Time (or GMT.)
Anyway, the Gayatri Mantra is a popular Hindu prayer (although other religions may use it as well) and like dan posted above, is written in Sanskrit. I was told it loosely translates as a prayer praising and worshipping the Sun. People often pray/chant it at sunrise and sunset.

Court Rules in Favor of Telecom Firms

By PETE YOST
Associated Press Writer
Published May 21, 2007, 10:39 AM CDT

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court on Monday sided with the nation's largest local phone companies in a lawsuit by consumers alleging anticompetitive business practices.

The court ruled 7-2 that the suit lacked any specifics in accusing the companies of secretly agreeing not to compete in each other's territories for local telephone and high-speed Internet service.

It is not enough to make a bare assertion of conspiracy, Justice David Souter wrote in the majority opinion.

Souter said the complaint alleging restraint of trade "comes up short." He said the consumers who filed the suit "have not nudged their claims across the line from conceivable to plausible."

In dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens objected to the lower court's dismissal of the case without requiring a response from the phone companies. Federal rules, previous rulings and "sound practice mandate that the district court at least require some sort of response," Stevens wrote.

The case stems from changes to the telecommunications law in 1996. The local phone companies were to open their monopoly markets to competition. In return, they were given the opportunity to enter long-distance business. At the time, the four companies controlled more than 90 percent of the market for local phone service.

The defendants were Bell Atlantic Corp., BellSouth Corp., Qwest Communications International Inc., and SBC Communications Inc. Bell Atlantic is now Verizon Communications Inc. and SBC bought AT&T Inc. and the renamed company, AT&T, merged with BellSouth.

The Supreme Court decision "embraces an important principle about protecting the freedom of firms to make unilateral decisions on what markets to enter or not enter," said John Thorne, senior vice president & deputy general counsel of Verizon Communications.

Consumers represented by a prominent firm of plaintiffs' attorneys sued when the companies kept to their own territories rather than competing. The consumers also alleged the local phone companies conspired to keep smaller companies from competing successfully in the larger companies' markets.

yer a glutton for punishment!

1.) I hope this blog isn't owned by AARggghh (I like that! Very apropos!). I like the blog, it's a great format. Much more stable than the last and can be used on lower browsers, which many of us still have {think imacs - they still work. people still own them but the browsers haven't been updated for them.}

2.) Podcasts would be very helpful because the stream was less than desirable.

3.) As far as a radio or internet radio broadcast...I never thought I'd say this.

But if you think you'd get a better deal and more respect and money at a place like Nova or whatever - go there! We'll follow.

I'd CERTAINLY follow if I could get Malloy AND Seder in the same place. The lineup really is a plus.

Sam, do whatever is best for you and your family. I still like your reportage.

4.) Ad Revenue: The reason someone like Thom Hartmann can pick up and go where he pleases is because he's got sponsors that contracted with HIM first - not the network. Whenever and whereever he moves - they move.

So the Seder Show needs to become it's own business and with that flexibility.

We're ALL learning that being an employee of someone else - sucks. We are all getting screwed in the end.

I think the first and easiest thing you can do is get some numbers and then go to BLOGADS. You need to prove a certain amount of hits and then you can join.

http://www.blogads.com

Then I believe there are other liberal/progressive banner media ad streams you can join.

Listen, good blogs either get private financing or they run on ads. Mostly they run on ads and to keep this going, ads are necessary.

(screw the people who say "I hate ads! Ads bother me!" - ads are a necessity of professional blog life. It's time for ads.)

Daily Kos uses them. You have have to do what is working for all your friends.

My other idea would be is whenever you have a book recommendation - make it an amazon.com affiliate link or a powells book link - so you get revenue from that.

And Seder T-shirts and swag. Get a good design, do a cafepress thing or whatever your friends/competitors are doing.

Do what you gotta do!

are you MAT's Dan?

if so how she doing?

I see GBC, and toni D[arlin], and Katarina, and dada, and all my blog buds.

So the last of my "benchwork" *evil smile* has just finished & now I have to pull on my lumbar belt, gloves, ball cap, sun glasses, et al & do battle w/ the landscaping & gardening list.

'I love the smell of fertilizer & potting soil in the morning. It smells...like...like pain.'

Sheesh, and *she* wants "to do" tomatoes & cukes this year, too.

I fucking love manual labor. Really! I truly do. I could WATCH other people do it for hours & hours. : )

[Hey, GBC. Did you take video of you guys doing that 23k lbs of gravel? I want a copy. *snark* ]

Later, kids.

Dan was Blah Blah Blah, I think, SJ

May 21, 2007 -- Word has it that former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, still a consultant for the Defense Department with an office in Rosslyn, Virginia near the Pentagon, is planning to start a non-profit institute dedicated to promoting good governance. Perhaps Rumsfeld plans to hire his former Pentagon deputy, World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, a proponent of good governance at the bank who was just fired by the bank's executive board for bad governance in arranging a pay raise for his girlfriend.

The way to have good governance is to severely cane neo-cons like Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the others and exile them to a low-lying island atoll due to sink under the waves during the next few years.

May 21, 2007 -- Bush's Bitburg Moment. In 1985, President Ronald Reagan touched off a storm of controversy by visiting the German military cemetery at Bitburg. When it was discovered that 49 members of the Waffen-SS were buried at Bitburg, there were calls for Reagan to cancel his visit to the cemetery. We now know from Reagan's comments and diaries that he was torn by the visit. He said, "This visit has stirred many emotions in the American and German people too. Some old wounds have been reopened, and this I regret very much, because this should be a time of healing." White House Deputy Chief of Staff Michael Deaver took responsibility for the error in judgment and was prepared to cancel the visit but Reagan had already made a promise to Chancellor Helmut Kohl to visit the cemetery.

Unlike the angst in the Reagan administration, the George W. Bush administration, rife with as many neo-confederates as neo-conservatives, had no such problem when deciding to have Bush give a pro-Iraq War speech at the American Legion Post 177 in Fairfax, Virginia on April 10 of this year. In his opening remarks, Bush said, "It's a pleasure to be here at Legion Post 177, Fairfax, Virginia. I appreciate you inviting me."

Although the American Legion, a right-wing veterans organization that walks a pro-Bush line and has a history of support for a planned coup against President Franklin Roosevelt, Fairfax Post 177 of the American Legion has an even more dubious link to extreme right-wing causes. In the very same room where Bush gave his speech, the Frank Stringfellow Camp 822 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans holds its meetings. On May 20, Armed Forces Day, a representative of that group laid a wreath at the Washington DC Mount Olivet Catholic cemetery gravesite of Captain Henry Wirz, the Swiss-born commandant of the infamous Andersonville, Georgia Confederate camp for Union prisoners. Out of 45,000 Union prisoners interred at Andersonville, 13,000 died from disease, summary execution, gangrene, and exposure to the elements. Although there was as much controversy about the legality of US Military Commissions after the Civil War as there is about similar commissions today, Wirz was tried and convicted by a US Military Tribunal and hanged. Some of the same neo-confederate individuals who decry Wirz's execution after the Civil War have no problem with the torture and extra-judicial executions of prisoners held at U.S. military prisons today -- in fact, they are some of George W. Bush's strongest supporters.

Yeah, Florence is a pretty area.

Where's the podcast!?

Anybody been to the East side of Berlin lately? Last year we made it a few meters past Checkpoint Charlie, and walked alonfg the Wall, but that was about it.
I'll have lots of free time to myself this time, so I want to check out old East Berlin. Any suggestions?

Bush's "Bitburg Moment" in Fairfax is even more astounding considering the fact that some leaders of the Sons of Confederate Veterans have made common cause with neo-Nazi organizations in Switzerland, Austria, and other countries, as well as fascist Opus Dei organizations in Spain and Argentina.

Surely, President Jimmy Carter is right when he calls Bush the worst president in our nation's history. Bush's symbolic visit to the same place where those who honor the assassination of President Lincoln periodically meet not only makes Bush the worst president in our history but a fiendish boor who should, after he leaves office, be stripped of all the honors that are usually bestowed to an ex-President: Presidential library and archives, Secret Service protection, franking privileges, the right to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, and consideration for representation of the United States at official foreign and domestic functions.

time to get "Queens day" brunch going!

Sunshine Jim - what beautiful pictures!

I'm sitting here in NY, more and more in love with the idea of moving to Oregon one day. Is it really that nice?

Anyone feel free to extol Oregon - I'm all eyes.

One day I hope to save up enough $ to visit. (not right now though, with the economy so bad).

More Oregon!
Portland looks very cool. Seems to be just my speed.

May 21, 2007 -- Last month, WMR reported, "Our Lebanese sources as well as the Lebanese daily newspaper Aldiyar now report that a NATO base is to be built soon on the grounds of the largely abandoned airbase at Klieaat in northern Lebanon. The base will serve as the headquarters of a NATO rapid deployment force, helicopter squadrons, and Special Forces units although the cover story prepared by the Lebanese and US governments is that the base will provide training for the Lebanese army and security forces. The base was pushed by elements in the office of the US Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Bush administration had recently warned Lebanon about the presence of "Al Qaeda" teams in northern Lebanon."

Just as if acting on cue from the Bush White House, a new "terrorist group" called Fath al-Islam commenced operations in the vicinity of the Kleiaat airbase (also spelled Qlei-at) during the evening of May 20. Fath al-Islam laid road traps to prevent Lebanese army units from Tripoli from reaching the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp on the outskirts of Tripoli, the scene of fighting between the Lebanese army and Fath al-Islam that resulted in the killing and wounding of tens of Lebanese troops.

Why no information on AAR webpage?
Why no information about Seder's show?
Are the suits getting even for ALL the seder fan's emails, especially the slamming ones.

It's the only place I'd live outside of Europe.

It's MUCH cheaper than either Europe or NY, though!

Relatively speaking, its still much greener than most states, though it used to be a alot greener.

I highly recommend Portland or nearby. Stay in the Willamette Valley (Will-ham-it)(Val-eee)

No sales tax, you can't pump your own gas (like NJ?) and there's more adult entertainment per capita (Portland) than any other U.S. city.

Oh, and Portland is the most Vegetarian-friendly city in the world!

nope. was formerly blah blah blah. new blog, so i came out...

new blog! now with more blah! or less, i forget!

I'm listening to Thom Hartmann, and all of a sudden two individuals are jabbering on about local politics in New York.

I think that's Mark Green hogging Thom's space

gottit!

everyone changing names i now pretty much let slide.

i figger if it's important i'll eventually figger it out.

Eugene would be my choice for Origun, fuck stinky ol timber baron portland

get a hold of me before

ya decide to cruise the Pacific Northwest

and we'll set up a good tour! 604 864 9649 sofrajones@telus.net

Listening to Thom Hartmann and all of a sudden Thom is playing a "special piece" - a boring Mark Green interview of Elliott Spitzer.

So like Green - to hijack Thom's show to promote himself. I don't think Sam would have allowed it - hence Seder on Sundays.

I turned it off - am now listening to Beatles radio.com on Itunes.

perhaps. the blog seems to have a lot more life than the old one did a week ago. perhaps because seder walks among us...

welcome to the bloggie!

same with anyone else new here i have'nt mentioned by name!

(ignore the screaming)

doing yer own radio... a piece we did with Jajajaja's buffalo NY radio show! Cubby Bubba calls in after me and sandbags me good! the snortbutt!

we were backing off and doing spring chores across the nation.

i'm hoping for a Dar happy dance!

hope she checks in!

I know I'm biased but man did Green sound crappy! And then Thom Harmann says, "Great interview Mark!" Wow. What was that?
Did anyone notice that Mark Green was talking about the "great new line up" at AAR but DIDN'T MENTION ANYONE??? Don't know but I'm wondering if he didn't want to mention the vaunted "Lionel" because of all the negative feedback he's gotten.
He spent most of the time talking about the new AAR website and how great it is. He also said that the blog is up and he welcomed people to comment (check this one out) on "topics of the day."
I bet. So remember bloggers, just stick to topics of the day!
We'll see how well that goes. I guess he'll just have any other comments removed.

Doris

Have you guys been checking out the comments on the Blog on Air America main page?

Everyone misses Sam.

It's a major suburb of Eugene.

VERY regressive. Birthplace/main supporters of the OCA. Oregonians won't soon forget that little screw-up.(It's been almost 20 years)

Portland's public transportation is amazing, though Eugene's is comin' along.

And I do believe Eugene won Best Vegetarian 'smaller city'.

So yeah, Eugene is nice, too. I'm ideally more urban, though. Like I said before, though. Stick with the Willamette Valley. Anything outside that and you may as well move to Idaho.

Portland is alot like Seattle, or Vancouver BC. Big NW city. ( I know...Vancouver is actually a big SW city )

One could always pick Salem, the capital of Oregon. It's where "Kettle Chips" are made. They have an amazing environmental program. Solar power on the roof, and a MAJOR supplier of waste vegetable oil for BioDiesel.

blah blah blah

that's all I got.

Yeah, I'm starting to get worried about that, too.

I mean, locally, Carl Wolfson's funny and all, but to cut into Hartmann's local mornings is a crock...

Thom Hartmann moved from Vermont to save Air America, after all. This is the thanks he gets?

On another note; I found last nights' Sopranos very difficult to watch. Just like last week's.

i was waiting for the Portlander's to orginize a lynch mob after my comment.

truth is the Pacific Northwest has wonderful spots throughout and you can find a "good holt" if ya cruise around a bit.

personally i like the University hoods everywhere here. always hopping and fun.

think seattle is still my fave big ass city, Queen Anne my old hood.

now that i think about it...

Ballard Docks was my first seattle 'hood'.

the advantage of living on a boat is having LOTS of good backyards!

Green's interview was terrible with Spitzer. I was very surprised that Hartmann did that much brown nosing on day one. Very disappointing.
I just wish Sam would put up the audio from yesterday.

catharine - not much more too it. i changed names when sam brought out the new blog.

Paris, France

Portland IS a University town! They have two! Sara (my wife of 11 years) graduated last year from Portland State University with a Bachelor's of Mechanical Engineering.

Intel is in Hillsboro/Beaverton (suburb of Portland) and for comparison's sake, AMD is in Houston. (I know which community I'd support) That's how we got to Europe last year, on Sara's 8 week sabatical.

We got back, she quit; she works for a small start-up now, with UV curing and other stuff I don't understand. They've sent her to Alabama, New York and next month, Berlin Germany! (I'm going with on this one)

I say again, Oregon rocks.

unfair to not expect him to deal politely with the moneybag boys.

for all the bitching about the greens, nobody including

hartman or sam has done any poking around

into their last few operations...

we're so gaddam naive...

makes me wanna puke

sometimes.

wheres the PODCASTERER!

(bet his mind is a million miles from here, his sweeties probby got him planting trees and "mulching"!

(shudder!)

Origun ROCKS bigtime!

when are we going to Paris?

clearly its the left coast. i'm partial to san francisco / berkeley and the bay. that being said, downtown seattle rocks. never had a chance to check out oregon, assuming the portland airport doesn't count (it was deltas jumping off point to japan - now there's a big ass city: tokyo)

I live in Springfield, but grew up in Eugene. I do feel like an outsider in Springfield. I went door to door for Kerry, working with Move on. It was very frustrating. That being said the Mckenzie Valley, going up 126 is very scenic and has some great fly fishing.

The advantage of Portland is that it has more jobs. But the nice thing about Eugene, Springfield is that you can be at the coast in an hour, or the central oregon lakes in one to two hours.

KOPT in Eugene did carry Sam on one hour delay for his sunday show. It was the first good move they have made in quite awhile.

the Mckenzies a beaut ain't it!

early afternoon at a good pool with the sun sparklin!

don't get much better. we did a lot of STEP program stuff therewith the Mc flyfishers

for President. So that gives me pause. Then again, the frequent riots and strikes always did, too. The language thing isn't a big deal, as long as you don't mind being insulted occasionally.

Paris is one of the cheapest ways into Europe, flight-wise.

..is the LEFT WOODS. Moved here two years ago after 25 years in California, 11 in Long Beach and 14 in Walnut Creek (bay area). Loved it there, but the weather got wayyy too expensive to even think of buying a place. So here we are in beautiful Buxton, 12 miles from Portland, and on a 12-acre farm that cost less than the 700sq.ft. condo that I rented in CA sold for...go figure! Being 12 miles out of Portland and having the nearest grocery store 6 miles away boggles my mind in a positive way. Living in the Bay Area, you had to drive over an hour to see anything remotely rural. Slice of heaven here! I wonder if the Portlands are sister cities. Portland, Maine, reminds me of Berkeley in some ways.

Well, there's one for Eugene, definitely.

one of the fun things with AARgh

was all of us left coasters on what they thought was gonna be a

"center of the universe NY city" radio network. hahahahahahaha! what a suprise! INFIDELS! TREE HUGGISTS and NAKED-ERERS!

The officer, Raphael Lora, fired five times, hitting the driver, Fermin Arzu, once in the back, the police said. The minivan Mr. Arzu was driving then careened two blocks down a quiet Bronx street, sideswiped a car, jumped a curb, slammed into a church wall and burst into flames.

The medical examiner said the officer’s bullet perforated his lung, heart and severed his aorta.

I'll have to ask my husband if it's still there...He grew up in Camden. Haven't been up there for a few years, and especially not since we moved to Maine. Camden is very pretty, and has become quite the destination tourist place I hear. There are sooo many things I want to see here, and so much to do with our place, it's hard to find the time...plus my hubby travels a lot...works in air cargo.

Take care guys.

Jim Whitehead (R), a former Georgia state senator running in the special election to succeed the late Rep. Charlie Norwood, is making a concerted effort to avoid discussing the war, claiming “Iraq has not been a big thing in our district“:

When it comes to Iraq, Whitehead has picked up right where Norwood left off, standing firmly behind President Bush.

But even in this heavily conservative district in rural northeast Georgia, Whitehead has decided that showcasing a stay-the-course position is not a good idea.

Whitehead’s press releases have not mentioned the war for months. His new campaign ad does not address it. The first use of the word “Iraq” on Whitehead’s Web site is buried in a summary of the fight against terrorism in a section labeled “other important issues.”

An April poll by the conservative polling firm Strategic Vision found that “52 percent of Georgians disapproved of Bush’s handling of the war in Iraq and only 33 percent approved.”

I read on the Greens page that they would be doing these interviews for this week. It's like they won't allow the regular hosts to do these interviews when they have been doing them for years now.

What makes them think they can do better interviews?

Really, I think it's an ego thing. I'm the owner so I get to do these interviews of the big names!

We won't be getting Air Americans here in New York City from 8 - 11 p.m. It was announced today that Alan B. Colmes will be filling that spot. Can you believe what WWRL has done?

I see her site is linked. He's on now. He is doing everything he can to take the goodwill of all time slots down? Who wants to listen to this crap? MTV is more relevant.

Why doesn't Sam do as the Young Turks? They seem to have a pretty darn good model for owning the content of their show.

This really is rediculous now.

Green's got a show. Can't he do these interviews on his show. He can tape them and run them when he's on.

What a megalo-ego this man has!!

Last year, the “Smithsonian Institution toned down an exhibit on climate change in the Arctic for fear of angering Congress and the Bush administration, says a former administrator at the museum.” AP reports:

Among other things, the script, or official text, of last year’s exhibit was rewritten to minimize and inject more uncertainty into the relationship between global warming and humans, said Robert Sullivan, who was associate director in charge of exhibitions at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.

Also, officials omitted scientists’ interpretation of some research and let visitors draw their own conclusions from the data, he said. In addition, graphs were altered “to show that global warming could go either way,” Sullivan said.

Plugging my blog: Ya Think?

Zinsmeister: ‘I’ll Never Hire Another Woman Because They Just Get Pregnant And Leave’
Karl Zinsmeister is currently President Bush’s chief domestic policy adviser, hired when Claude Allen stepped down after being charged with shoplifting.

Before joining the White House, Zinsmeister was editor in chief of The American Enterprise, the conservative think tank’s magazine. In a piece he wrote in 1996, Zinsmeister stated, “[C]olorblindness has become a real risk today. … The penalty for the person who, ignoring race, turns down the wrong street today can literally be death.”

A new article in The New Republic shows that Zinsmeister was also hostile toward women. A former American Enterprise editor, Karina Rollins, remembers that Zinsmeister constantly attacked the magazine’s art director, Jo Roback-Paul, criticizing her for going to a doctor’s appointment and for taking maternity leave:

But the biggest grievance harbored by the magazine’s staff concerned Zinsmeister himself. “He went to his son’s basketball game, and then he would give Jo [Roback-Pal] a hard time about a doctor’s appointment,” Rollins says. … While Zinsmeister frequently complained about Roback-Pal to other staffers at the magazine — telling [then-business manager Garth] Cadiz that she was “useless” and “never there” — her former colleagues say that she never missed a deadline and that he was “abusive” toward her. When she angered him by taking a four-month maternity leave, Zinsmeister told Cadiz, “I am never going to hire another woman because they just get pregnant and leave.”

Unfortunately for Zinsmeister, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act states that employers cannot discriminate on the “basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.”

The Bush administration has a track record of using pregnancy as an excuse to not hire women. It’s unclear whether Zinsmeister has lived up to his no-women pledge while at the White House.

Fmr GOP State Senator Arrested for Child Rape, Molestation of Pages
By: Nicole Belle @ 12:59 PM - PDT John prefers that we not swear in our posts, so I'm going to let the links speak for themselves, since if I do any more than that, I'm liable to unleash a tirade of profanities that would make a sailor blush.

A)t least Mark Foley never physically acted on his nefarious impulses. Former South Dakota State Rep. Ted Klaudt did, however. On multiple occasions.

Klaudt had to exit the state legislature in 2006 due to term limits, after having a lost a battle for state senate in that same year–but he sure had a doozie of a time while he was there. I learned of this particular piece of distasteful debauchery from Howie Klein's fantastic post on the subject at his blog Down With Tyranny. As Klein says:

Like so many tightly wound repressed and mentally ill Republicans, Klaudt was preaching the moral superiority of the far right while he was abusing molesting children– his own foster daughters and 2 state legislative pages! He "faces a long list of charges: eight counts of rape, two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, two counts of witness tampering, sexual contact with a person under 16, and stalking." emphasis added

Tristero and Digby add their two cents as well. Don't neglect to look at the kind of legislation this hypocritical slimebucket backed.

This is Him:

is having a difficult time hiding her derision for Green and AAR 2.0. Maybe because she recently got signed on a 3-yr. contract, she can be a bit more expressive? Oh how I wish Sam or Randi or anybody there could really let loose on a RANT.

Hmmm?

Bush Wants Full Control Of Government During Catastrophic Attack
By: Logan Murphy @ 10:02 AM - PDT Via The Progressive:

With scarcely a mention in the mainstream media, President Bush has ordered up a plan for responding to a catastrophic attack.

Under that plan, he entrusts himself with leading the entire federal government, not just the Executive Branch. And he gives himself the responsibility “for ensuring constitutional government.”

He laid this all out in a document entitled “National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD 51” and “Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20.”

Other than a discussion on Daily Kos led off by a posting by Leo Fender, and a pro-forma notice in a couple of mainstream newspapers, this document has gone unremarked upon.

The subject of the document is entitled “National Continuity Policy.” Read more…

re: the simpsons video

Heh! Love the Simpsons!!

Is there truth to what's implied in the Simpsons video???

This OWNER is completely OUT OF HIS MIND. If he just wanted to be on the radio himself why didn't he just buy the damm station and put what ever junk he wanted on it and not pretend that he purchased it as a liberal talk radio station. Just listened to his "interview" with George S. ( won't even try to spell his name")and it was NOW WORTH THE TIME. I just wanted to hear for myself how nuts this guy (Green)is. Since at least 99.9 percent of the people say he is not really listening to the people who supported AAR. PLEASE SAM, RANDI, RACHEL,LAURA LOOK INTO GOING TO NOVA!!!!!! Let the Greens have their toy.

so finally, the groundwork has been laid for a coup by the neocons.

MSNBC has an article on this very topic today:

I think that's exactly what he is done, and is doing... ;D

New Gore Book Slams Bush: "[He} Has Repeatedly Violated The Law For Six Years"
ABC News | Jake Tapper | May 21, 2007 11:43 AM

When former Vice President Al Gore hosted "Saturday Night Live" in December 2002 he appeared in a skit that compared his vice presidential selection process from two years before to the dating reality TV show "The Bachelor." In one scene Gore appeared in a hot tub with a faux Joe Lieberman, both of them shirtless, drinking champagne, arms locked, romance in the air. Anyone then looking for clues to see if Gore would run for president in 2004 probably had no trouble discerning that an exploratory committee was not in the cards.

Almost five years later, Gore still says he has no plans to run for president, but his latest book, "The Assault On Reason," is so searingly critical of the Bush administration it's hard to discern what his plans may be.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Story?id=3195676&page=1

i don't recall where that has bothered these * at all.

Randi has a new contract so she's at AAR for at least the next three years. Don't know where the other's stand contract wise. And I don't know the terms of their contract.

HOwever, If I were the Drobneys right now, I'd be looking into every way to fill up the day with AAR talent and also into a home base radio station for them and start pushing sindication at all their affiliates.

666! 666! Beast within...

Giuliani Slips To Third In Iowa Poll

Pentagon Making Preparations To Keep Tens Of Thousands Of Troops In Iraq For ‘Decades’
In testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee this month, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Peter Pace uttered a “carefully worded” statement revealing that the Pentagon had no plans to fully withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq if legislation passes Congress mandating troop redeployment:

PACE: Sir, we have published no orders directing the planning for the overall withdrawal of forces. We do have ongoing replacements of forces, and we do change the size of the force over time so that that system is available to either plus-up or draw down, but we have published no orders saying come up with a complete plan for total drawdown.

NPR investigated Pace’s statements and found one scenario being considered within the Pentagon would maintain a strong U.S. military presence in Iraq for several decades into the future.

This so-called “lily pad” strategy entails keeping a “series of military installations around Iraq,” with tens of thousands of U.S. troops remaining in the country for as long as a few decades:

[W]hat it essentially envisions is a series of military installations around Iraq, maybe five or six of them, a total of maybe 30-40 thousand U.S. troops in Iraq for a long period of time, lasting, maybe a few decades. And the idea is that these bases will be somewhat hermetically sealed, that U.S. military forces won’t be leaving them, they won’t be conducting presence patrols and the patrols they conduct now. Ground convoys won’t be driving into them.

Airplanes will be essentially landing in to deliver supplies and these sort of lily pads will be in various strategic areas in Iraq … And that will enable the U.S. military to maintain a presence in the country, perhaps…for a few decades.

The Pentagon’s goal with the lily pads is to preserve U.S. interests in Iraq for years to come “in the event that Congress or the administration pushes this [withdrawal plan] forward.” As NPR details, those interests are at least three-fold: 1) Training Iraq forces, 2) Preserving economic interests, as “Iraq obviously [sits] on the second largest reserve of oil in the world,” and 3) Providing a U.S. military “presence” to deter Iran and Turkey from “getting involved” after withdrawal.

While 60 percent of Americans are calling for a withdrawal of the U.S. from Iraq, the Pentagon is instead making preparations for an unending occupying presence.

I bet Romney gets the nomination. he may win the presidency, too. Don't forget nutjob Reagan in 1980. In our narrowly focused political system, Republicans have several advantages.

Was Gonzales’ hospital visit illegal? “[C]ongressional sources tell U.S. News that Democrats will ask the Texas Bar Association to determine whether Gonzales violated his code of professional responsibility or broke laws by bringing up the NSA program in the hospital in front of Ashcroft’s wife, who lacks security clearances.” More HERE.

No timeline in latest Iraq bill. “In grudging concessions to President Bush, Democrats intend to draft an Iraq war-funding bill without a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops and shorn of billions of dollars in spending on domestic programs, officials said Monday.”

The legislation would include the first federal minimum wage increase in more than a decade, a top priority for the Democrats who took control of Congress in January, the officials added.

While details remain subject to change, the measure is designed to close the books by Friday on a bruising veto fight between Bush and the Democratic-controlled Congress over the war. It would provide funds for military operations in Iraq through Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year.

Democrats in both houses are expected to seek other opportunities to challenge Bush’s handling of the unpopular conflict later this year.

Stephen A. Schwarzman of Blackstone called China's $3 billion stake "huge."

The deal, which is set to coincide with Blackstone's $4 billion initial public offering this year, will give China a roughly 8 percent stake in Blackstone, which owns companies that have 375,000 employees and $83 billion in annual sales.

Bush: ‘I stand by Al Gonzales.’ President Bush says a Senate vote of no confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales would be “pure political theater.” Bush added, “He has got my confidence. He has done nothing wrong. … I stand by Al Gonzales, and I would hope that people would…get the job done of passing legislation, as opposed to figuring how to be actors on the political theater stage.”
