Maron V Seder

U got Mr Maron where U want him??

Many working families are finding themselves in trouble with debt—often as a result of predatory lenders. We have a chance to stop these unethical lenders from targeting people who simply can't afford to pay the money back and risk losing their homes.

On behalf of Working America and AFL-CIO members, we're asking the top mortgage lenders to commit to the following practices:

An immediate moratorium on foreclosures associated with all subprime mortgages for the next year;

Conversion of all outstanding subprime loans into conventional 30-year mortgages at fair rates;

Renounce servicing agreements that reward foreclosure and instead encourage refinancing or other workout strategies; and

Commit to publicly reporting on how many subprime loans these lenders are servicing. How many they have reset, how many have been restructured and how many foreclosures are occurring and where.

Please sign this petition calling on mortgage lenders to take the necessary steps to save thousands of working people from crushing personal debt.

Thank you for your action today.

I hope it's smooth

Hillary Vs McCain

or

Obama Vs McCain

And who said the Republicans had no chance this year?

Hahahahahahahaha!

I just hope everyone shows up.

Oh, Sam's on!

a twofer for tuesday

Hillary Vs Obama is going to be a blood-bath!

Hillary has already pissed-off the Black Vote. And she has been ahead all this time. Wait until Hillary starts to slip behind and really starts to fight dirty!

You didn't call Maron!!!

is maron on? I don't see him
or hear him

*here*

:)

one sided convo

:)

in St. Louis right now!

I guess I'm the only one not getting the LA side of cam.

but not on the smaller cam...

I don't see or hear Marc

hmm

I just voted Obama here in Connecticut.

I wanted to vote for Edwards but hey...

am760.net has David Sirota hosting this morning

his volume is almost twice as loud as sams.

*here*

Is Maron off the wagon ?

Is he drinking wine this early ?

restarted and all--not showing up

Same here

both cams are working for me... just keep refreshing until it works i guess

i refreshed several times--still no maron.

bye all

worked---went to Firefox

Mccain vs. Hillary.... Hillary is prez

Who will be the vice presidential candidates?
I have no clue

If delegates dont vote as they should for Obama when he wins and instead vote for Hillary... people will be throwing molotov cocktails.

Leahy and Daschel were against the PATRIOT ACT up until they were targeted with a Military strain of Anthrax?

Should I post this documentary on my Open Mic?

If the whole of Congress has been coerced, nothing they have done is binding.
Right?

i heard or read that VP candidates are rarely

chosen from the Prez nominees - is that why Edwards

dropped out? would he be Hil's choice if & when?

in parts of Oklahoma, across Missouri, into Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and up through PA.

Whoa! I can't believe how well the Sammycam is working - I'd just about given up on this thing coz of the probs, but it seems to be working perfectly now = )

ITS WORKING!!! YEAH

Yay!

It's almost like they are provoking an uprising, huh.

All those KBR/Halliburton Detention centers sitting empty would come in handy.

*drool*

damn, why can't Marc be on AAR with Sammy tonight!

Mardi Gras. I wanna coconut.

clinton will win today.

most of us like obama but the rest of america isnt so cool

theyll vote safer, and go with hillary.

caucuses and super delegates are both anti-democratic

What I'd like to see is an Obama Administration with Edwards as VP, Richardson as Secretary of State, Kucinich as SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. Wouldn't that be great?!!!

Severe thunderstorms in MO. Where I am we just had heavy rain for a period, again. Looks like it will be that way off and on today.

Have Marc read this article from the Boston Globe... Re: Obama being "diplomatic"... Tell Marc to read this article fromthe Boston Globe... http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/01/28/at_harvard_law_a_un...

"Kucinich as SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. "

Hahahahahhahha

i laff....

hell would freeze and get a Disneyland first.

cuz Maron just trashed AAR ownership/mgmnt past and present. Sounds like those bridges have been burned.

Romney is the easiest to beat. Too many flip-flops so the Repiglicans won't show up.

If you're wondering why the market is tanking again, this is it.

Feb. 5 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. service industries unexpectedly shrank in January at the fastest pace since the last recession as the housing slump deepened and consumer spending cooled.

The Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing index, which reflects almost 90 percent of the economy, fell to 41.9, the lowest since October 2001, from 54.4 the prior month, the Tempe, Arizona-based ISM said. A reading of 50 is the dividing line between growth and contraction.
--------------
toniD, dan and others,

The spread between the previous and the current numbers is said to be inexplicably wide. There is some suspicion that the current number might be adjusted in the future.

I don't know one way or the other. I find it interesting because 1.) If the numbers are accurate, they have shocked the experts and 2.) If the numbers are to be corrected by narrowing the spread in the future, bad data caused a lot of trouble.

Maybe Joe Biden as Sec. of Defense?

I am in St. Louis, MO. I'm worried about voter turnout. The storms tend to come and go. I plan to vote after the Maron v Seder show even if it is raining. You can see the storms on the map at weather.com.

Will vote for McCain if Sam thinks he's easier to beat

as long as a democrat is president it will be an improvement.

we either get Obama, and America will repair its worldide reputation.

or hillary, and then bill clinton is back in the whitehouse, and america will repair its worldwide reputation.

if a republican wins, america is history.

red: "what is it? thunderstorms, tornadoes? heavy rain?"
---------------------
The possibilities include snow, ice, rain, hail, severe winds, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and warm sunshine depending upon location and the whims of the westerly cold front versus the southerly warm and wet Gulf winds.

I am in a meteorological sweet spot for the moment. My house is open, the sun is shining and the temperature is nearly 70F. Yesterday the temperature was 76F which beat the previous record of 75F set over 100 years ago (1886, I think?).

I listened to a bit of Washington Journal on C-Span - most were those folks who were in their recliner chair with a bean bag ashtray finishing off a pot of percolated - all Repubs who said they'd stay home if McCain wins the Nomination-everyone who called fit the Zogby demographic profile in terms of their choice.

McCain is never easy to beat.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of caucuses. They seem to keep voter involvement waaay low, and the whole lack of secrecy is a problem for me, as well.

I'd like to see the Democratic Party (1) do away with caucuses; (2) shift to Instant Runoff Voting across all primaries; (3) decrease or eliminate the 15% delegate-allocation threshold.

I'd think it would be worthwhile to decrease the delegate-allocation threshold down to 5% or less in the early primaries, to allow lesser known candidates to accumulate delegates; and then increase as the weeks go by, eventually getting back up to a 10% or 15% threshold.

Can someone post the Audio of this later? I'm not getting any Maron and my connection is slow this AM....

UGH! That was my fear, when my sister told me yesterday that the temp was 65. It was far too drastic, and bodes tornadoes.

There goes my stomach.

My nephew and niece were supposed to be flying-in to St. Louis from Denver. I'm now wondering if their plane will get in.

Off to weather.com ...

Most certainly. But that wasn't ever really in question. Obama's goal is merely to make the margins narrow enough to remain close in the delegate count, to allow him to get back to retail politics.

what is retail politics?

In my political region it is possible to choose a ballot by party (in this primary the choices are Democratic, Libertarian or Republican).

I would add to your wish list: I would prefer one ballot with everyone on it. (It is moot in the primary in my area because only one political race is on today's ballot.)

However, in the midterm election there were lots of races being run. One ballot offering the ability to vote for any candidate of any party would help to put the kibosh to the stranglehold of the (major) two party system.

in Iraq?

Sounds Good,Marc !

Is your Sammy Cam need to be refreshed every min. too ?

"Hello to our friends and fans in domestic surveillance."

(though can always be convinced otherwise)

For party nominations, the choice should be made by party members -- and maybe independents. I'm not sure Reps should be allowed to vote in Dem primaries, and vice versa.

To end the two-party system, Instant Runoff Voting will go a long way, as it would allow you to vote your conscience (i.e. third-party) without enabling your least favorite candidate (i.e. spoiling).

I highly recommend getting involved in pervasive implementation of IRV.

Hehe...

Then explain why the talking heads of the right wing absolutely hate him.

Is Hannity, Limbaugh and Coulter now part of the 3% as well?

You're flailing, POT.

I voted for Obama today.

... other than both Dems calling for an end to the occupation of Iraq. The contractors issue would STILL need to be addressed regardless of our leaving Iraq to insure the situation doesn't recur.

Great analysis, as always.

I forgot to include sleet, freezing rain, and the blue ice that tumbles down out of airline toilets.

and last but not least, ice nine

beaut of a day. Early morning showers, now mostly sunny.

They say the weather is OK right now, in St.Louis, but that they need to get out of town before it is supposed to turn wintry ugly in the afternoon.

Re: blue ice. funny.

Sorry, I left my browser up last night giving the appearance I was still hanging around.

Laugh out loud
During the show MoveOn called to nag me into voting Obama-I told them I had an article to finish- George Packer in NEW YORKER & a discussion to listen to -then I'd go vote. It was the same conversation. I said Obama because he would refresh the electorate, she said kids like him. But Clinton held hearings on environmental justice, while Obama doesn't do hearings, I said. And what about COAL? Then I remembered Zogby said that NM looked to go Clinton because of Latino support - will it make a difference?

yeah, it may be. I'd love to see the Dem. president promote such a thing, though. It may seem a risk to Democratic power, but doing so would engender much gratitude.

i find this talk about ajusting the ism numbers because they didn't come out where they wanted them to be quite disturbing. they need to deal with the fact that the bush crime family has trashed the economy with its tax cuts and illegal occupation.

does primary voting innoculate one from caging? Can you be caged between March and November?

flawless really, just for a bunch of refreshes called for at some point or other

but the pace and content of the show was really good

the comment to marc about bleak was from me, i am glad he liked it (or rather agreed with it!)

my polling place has changed again.
I voted in the same building in 2000, and in 2004.
New building in 2006.
New building this year.

i could i was also in the middle of a cooking adventure, i always try hard on carnival day (mardi gras) to do some traditional italian cooking for the occasion - in this case some type of rice fritters from the Tuscany region - i must say it wasn't the greatest success, the things came out ok, though not as good as i remember them to be while i savored them in italy watching the parades on the beach there - oh well, and the blender which i used to whip up the eggwhites started spewing some black ash and dust - chemical burnt rubber smell in the kitchen - decided to turn it off and throw the whole appliance in the garbage to avoid explosions or further harm - have no idea what the fuck happened and not too inclined to find out - just a cheap black and decker blender - prolly made in china - whatever

A zulu coconut...... what a prize!

doesn't that just torque you. we had one of those hoover wind tunnel vaccums and all the parts were plastic. it lasted about a two weeks before it burned itself up. what good are cheap chinese goods if they catch fire and fail?

I have only read that the one-month spread is so wide as to be difficult to believe. If the spread datum is accurate, congratulations go out to Cheney/Bush for shocking the experts.

i'm afraid i missed out on that this time

actually quite hard to get - you must have connections, they will be handed to you if you know anyone on the zulu float - only time i got one was from one guy i was working with - yeah quite a prize but not fairly acquired but good ol throw me something mister!

is one bogged down blog.... we'll work with it. :D

So does that mean Dean has a cabinet position waiting for him no matter who comes out on top?

I have to mess with you. Better work it out quick!

Super Fat Tuesday. Good time to roll a super fatty....

and we dont know why it was decided in this way except, Howard Dean just said, or mentioned(maybe I came into the conversation late) but that the republicans decided to move in a lemming like unified force, while the Democratic party decided to favor giving voice to the minority party for the greater good and thats what determines that method of diversifying, designating,and appropriating delegates?

Best show yet...and I've liked them all to some extent.
