Where it stands

yes, i'm #1

thank you, america

thank you

&

goodnight!!

hmmm.

for the update. i'm sure you're exploring options, and i hope you're considering the option of a completely web-based blog/vidcast/podcast integrated webcast 'syndicate'.

the AAR experience has given you the chops to pull it off.

a true 'market-place of ideas', instead of a 'market-place' where ideas are incidental or subordinate to profits.

this is an opportunity to develop a whole new business model. this will be interesting.

the state of play, from the front page of air america:

//FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Beginning Monday April 14, Air American Radio will present a month-long series of celebrities who guest host all week during the 3-6 PM ET period.//

guess not.

Looks like you've been left out of the loop once again.

Just go to the AAR website.

It's going to take them a month to figure out how to fix the mess? When it's so obvious?

you guessed right

: )

It's always Friday at my place.

they might come to their senses in a month

and give el sambo the slot

For your professionalism this past week.Most people would have walked the minute they heard about Belzer.
you didn't and that says a lot about you.

I did notice that AAR is saying they are having a month long celebrity series in Randi's time slot si i'm not sure if you know something different.

If they dont give you an answer soon I think you could do well with you own web based radio show.We would all be happy to pay for it so keep that in mind.

Keep us posted on whats happening.the silence about Randi was unbearable.And iv'e written to pcollins plenty so maybe that will help.

I have a feeling this will all work out.Thanks for all you do.

whaddya expect from the bubblehead management that the network has had since the drobneys left?

you're slow to realise what's been happening there.

no biggie, but i would'nt hold my breath waiting.

I think Air America is done.

Keep putting yourself out there to the networks. No one has a future there.

Progressive radio is not done, there will be plenty of opportunity.

You GET the new media, you should consider applying to Rev 3 or Leo LaPorte. Leo is doing a new TV/vidcast startup out in Petaluma, CA. He's looking for show ideas right now.

Just a couple of thoughts.. I wish you all the best, hang in there, man.

They've been face farters since the gitgo. The way they

dumped Sirius Satellite subscribers was a drag. Whenever any

of their on air talent started to get a following, they

dumped them. They've shit right down Sammer's neck.

//a true 'market-place of ideas', instead of a 'market-place' where ideas are incidental or subordinate to profits//

what's their ultimate goal...

maximum profit

does derivative light amusement generate greater profit than real political discourse that redresses media distortion

if it does

is it worth the cost to democracy

i can't see this new guy doing the hard yards necessary to keep on top of the issues with the same knowledge and depth that sam does

whats that mean?

zonked laughing as loud as a whore once again...grover was just too funny, he had 2 beers and was equally as poonged..awright awright im fine now!

What about having Sam take Lionel's spot and kicking L. to Randi's old time? That's my favorite solution. YAY! I would sign back up for premium to be able to podcast Sam every day. YAY!

Good idea. I just sent the VOD link to Leo.

these are desperate times, sam

threaten to walk around the air america offices naked

(don't even wear a sock)

until your demands are met

and they suck your cock

You can goof off for a while?

What happened?

One answer is that some whistle-blower inspectors for the Federal Aviation Administration disclosed that they had been discouraged from cracking down on Southwest Airlines for maintenance problems, and they found a sympathetic audience with some Washington lawmakers.

That prodded the F.A.A. to order a national audit to check whether airlines were in compliance — and to propose a record penalty of $10.2 million against Southwest.

Then F.A.A. inspectors discovered the mistakes that prompted American to cancel more than 3,000 flights last week. Delta, United, Alaska and others also canceled hundreds of flights.

But more broadly, the turmoil is better understood as a reaction — or overreaction, in the eyes of some in the industry — to a long-term shift, over two presidencies, in the way the F.A.A. oversees the airlines.

In the 1990s, the agency was more of a cop on the beat, handing out penalties to those who broke the rules.

If it means that we set up a bank account in New York let's do it. Sam has done great things for the progressive movement. He is not just another talk show host. He is a humanitarian. It was his show that raised money for the Fighting Dems as well as other candidates. He almost unseated Joe Lieberman. It was Sam who put the blogosphere on the map. Daily Kos owes the popularity of his site and his new gig at Newsweek to Sam.

Continue to put the pressure on AAR, PLEASE!

Leo is in Tasmania on photo shoot the rest of week, then, he'll get back to setting up his studio.

(What, you think I only have time to 'stalk' Sammy? No, Leo is much closer to my age. LOL)

Leo is liberal, always gets a sly comment in on politics even though his main emphasis is tech. He and Sam should get on like crazy.

Not my first hair-brained scheme of the day, I assure you!

Its nice to see all this support Sam is getting. You guys are doing a good job here.

Always appreciate how available you make yourself to your audience, Sam. I've been a fan for a while and will follow The Sam Seder Show wherever it lands.

Fuck mainstream coorporate America, just like the guy in the info-mercial we've heard a bazillion times who "had to get out of corporate mainstream America, you can to. Don't ask me how but I'm sure the same dynamic that fueled Dean's campaign and now Obama's can work for you. All you gotta do is build it and we will come. We'd all invest in it too in our own small way. If Obama can do it $100 at a time, you surely can Sam.

Just do it!

It's so "netrooty" it gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.

This new owner Kireker sounds like he is just finding out the politics of the AA environment. Sounds like it was Green who leaked the information and Green who Sammy went balistic on. (I bet Green has never been so scared in his life, the little sh*t! Ha!) Kireker might not have been happy with Green doing this either. A good sign that Sam calls him "Charlie".

I want to hear Sammy on the radio 5 days a week. But, I also want to support Randi. I guess I'll have to switch back and forth. If Sammy gets his show I bet it will be Kireker overruling Green.

Administration Set to Use New Spy Program in U.S.
Congressional Critics Want More Assurances of Legality

The Bush administration said yesterday that it plans to start using the nation's most advanced spy technology for domestic purposes soon, rebuffing challenges by House Democrats over the idea's legal authority.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said his department will activate his department's new domestic satellite surveillance office in stages, starting as soon as possible with traditional scientific and homeland security activities -- such as tracking hurricane damage, monitoring climate change and creating terrain maps.

Sophisticated overhead sensor data will be used for law enforcement once privacy and civil rights concerns are resolved, he said. The department has previously said the program will not intercept communications.

"There is no basis to suggest that this process is in any way insufficient to protect the privacy and civil liberties of Americans," Chertoff wrote to Reps. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) and Jane Harman (D-Calif.), chairmen of the House Homeland Security Committee and its intelligence subcommittee, respectively, in letters released yesterday.

"I think we've fully addressed anybody's concerns," Chertoff added in remarks last week to bloggers. "I think the way is now clear to stand it up and go warm on it."

War-Weary Pa. Voters Wonder About Exit
April 12, 2008 9:15 AM EDT
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - For Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, vital to getting the edge in military service-oriented but war-weary Pennsylvania is figuring out how to pull U.S. forces out of Iraq without dragging the flag in the process.

Trailing in delegates, Clinton has staked her candidacy on a strong showing in Pennsylvania's April 22 primary. Obama has eroded Clinton's lead in several state polls and an upset could irrevocably damage her candidacy.

Both candidates promise to end the war, but in a state with a remarkable history of venerating military service, how that end should be achieved weighs heavily with many voters. Polling shows Democratic voters overwhelmingly disapprove of the war. What divides them is a quick withdrawal versus a longer drawdown of troops.

For many voters, the anger over the war that helped push five Pennsylvania GOP lawmakers out of office in 2006 has turned to almost a resigned acceptance that little will change quickly.

"It's much bigger than one person. Whoever gets to be president, I've been telling everybody, will have an uphill battle to climb," said Krista McKeon, 37, whose husband is with a Pennsylvania Army National Guard unit serving in Iraq.

Imprisoned Black Panther Ed Poindexter was absent from his day in court

Ed Poindexter missed his day in court. Confined to a maximum security cell in the Nebraska State Penitentiary, the former Black Panther leader was absent from his day in court. Poindexter's court date was scheduled in the austere but stately Supreme Court chambers on the second floor of the Nebraska State Capitol a few miles away from the prison where he is serving a life sentence.

Poindexter was convicted in April 1971, along with Mondo we Langa (formerly David Rice), for the 1970 bombing murder of Omaha police officer Larry Minard. Officer Minard and the seven other police had been lured to a lethal trap by a bogus call about a woman screaming in a vacant building. Instead of finding a crime victim, the police triggered a bomb-rigged suitcase killing Minard and injuring the others.

Sentenced to life imprisonment, Poindexter has not been eligible for parole and remains incarcerated 37 years after his conviction, along with Mondo we Langa who suffered a similar fate. Poindexter earlier asked the Nebraska Board of Pardons to reduce his sentence to a number of years to make him eligible for parole. Finding no support for his request, Poindexter filed a pro se appeal in Lancaster County District Court in 2006 seeking a determinate sentence.

Poindexter's legal pleading before the Nebraska Supreme Court argued that the merits of his claim should be heard in spite of the fact he is not a "skilled, school-trained attorney". The Supreme Court has not had a prisoner personally appear before them for 30 years so Poindexter did not bother making a request to be present. However, Poindexter did ask the court to consider his claim on the basis of written submissions.

One thing I got wrong. It didn’t come from Afghanistan. I got the country wrong," Mukasey continued without specifying the country where the call originated.

Mukasey, who used the phone call as an example to highlight the intelligence shortcomings before 9/11, did not explain why he included the comment to argue for expanded surveillance powers in a question-and-answer session after his speech on March 27.

"No FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] application should have been necessary to monitor a foreign target in a foreign country," Leahy reminded Mukasey. "We didn’t need it then. And we didn’t need it today."

http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/linkframe.php?linkid=56787

sorry my laughter is so much more cuter, you will fall in love with it not out of love!!!

What the hell are doing awake!

For the love of God go to Bed!

The drugs must have worn off and you can't sleep..!!!

Senator Leahy: You gave a speech at the commonwealth club. You made reference to pre-911 phone call from Afghanistan to the United States. Here's what you said, this was an open meeting, "That's a call we didn't know about. We knew there'd been a call from someplace that we know to be a safe house in Afghanistan. We knew it came to the United States, we didn't know precisely where it went," and you indicated that failure to intercept this was responsible for the deaths of more than 3000 people on September 11th. You also suggested we didn't intercept it because the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act prevented it. Now I've gone back through all the 911 commission report. Nobody else seems to know about this call you made or that...
Mukasey: I didn't make the call.

Leahy: hm?

Mukasey: I didn't make the call. I mentioned..

Leahy: No, you mentioned the call. But nobody else seems to know about this. So, can you tell me what the circumstances were on that and why FISA would have stopped it? Because nobody else seems to know about this call from Afghanistan that you talked about. We do know about the Department of Justice failing to even listen to their own FBI agents who told them about these hijackers who learned to fly, agent Bill Kurtz, among others, and was told, "We've got this under control." We do know the Department of Justice wanted to cut the budget on counter terrorism on September 10th. We do know that a lot of those signals were missed, but nobody seems to know about this phone call you talked about.

Mukasey: The phone call I referenced, which by the way was not in the speech, it was in the question and answer session following the speech, relates to an incoming call that is referred to in a letter dated February 22nd of this year from the DNI and me to chairman Reyes of the House Intelligence Committee with copies to the principle members and chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The underlying reference is contained in a joint intelligence report of the House Intelligence Committee and the Senate Intelligence Committee. I'm happy to provide you with a copy of that reference.

Leahy: Would you please?

Mukasey: The one thing I got wrong was the geography. It did not come from Afghanistan. I got the country wrong, but other than that it was spot on, and I will be happy to provide you with the page. And the point to be made there was not that we could not have monitored it under FISA, but rather that no FISA application should have been necessary to monitor a foreign target in a foreign country. I was speaking generally to the desirability of getting a bill passed, as you know we've been having a lot of trouble with that, but I'd be happy to get you the reference. You're right it's not in the 9/11...

Leahy: Then we don't need FISA to monitor a foreign source.

Mukasey: We shouldn't need it.

Leahy: We didn’t need it then. And we don't today.

Mrs. Clinton, now a senator from New York, rarely mentions the issue as she battles for the nomination, despite the emphasis she has placed on her experience in her husband’s White House.

But now the issue is back, pulled to the fore by an economy turning down more sharply than at any other time since the welfare changes were imposed. With low-income people especially threatened by a weakening labor market, some advocates for poor families are raising concerns about the adequacy of the remaining social safety net. Mrs. Clinton is now calling for the establishment of a cabinet-level position to fight poverty.

As social welfare policy returns to the political debate, it is providing a window into the ways in which Mrs. Clinton has navigated the legacy of her husband’s administration and the ideological crosscurrents of her party.

Clinton: Americans Love to Get Crapped On & Obama Is "Elitist" For Saying Otherwise
by: David Sirota
Sat Apr 12, 2008 at 14:45
Here's what I don't understand about the "controversy" now brewing about Barack Obama saying people are bitter when they get thrown out of work and sold out by politicians: Is Hillary Clinton saying people are totally psyched they've had that happen to them? Sounds that way.
I really don't get this. Obama is supposedly an "elitist" and "out of touch" for stating a truism: that when people get treated like crap by corporations and politicians, they get bitter. But I'd say the elitists and the out of touch are Washington insiders who are so comfortably insulated from accountability that they have convinced themselves that when they crap all over Americans, Americans respond with an elated "thank you, may I have another?"

Has the political discussion in this country become so cartoonishly absurd that it is "controversial" to say that when people get taken advantage of, people get upset?

trow in the Penn and the colombian trade deal...make a stink in PA about dan lets see what happens after that! who's bitter now?

MIAMI — The six teenage girls accused of beating a classmate and filming the attack for the Internet made their first court appearance on Friday, looking down and occasionally covering their faces with their hands and hair to avoid a gaggle of cameras.

The six girls were seen by the judge via video uplink from the jail where they were being held. They and two male classmates were charged as adults with battery and kidnapping in the March 30 attack in Lakeland, a lower-middle-class town in Central Florida. The girls’ sudden display of shame — like the order against talking to the news media that Judge Angela Cowden placed on local officials — could hardly offset the case’s mutation into a media juggernaut.

hell ja....how old?

The accounts of other U.S. troops interviewed by attorneys for Omar Khadr suggest that someone other than prisoner could have thrown the grenade that killed the soldier, said the lawyer, Navy Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler.

The U.S. government insists Khadr threw the grenade that killed Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer, who is from Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Canadian, who was 15 at the time of the firefight, faces life in prison if convicted of charges that include murder.

Kuebler said he knows of no physical evidence that would confirm that so-called friendly fire killed Speer, but other U.S. soldiers recalled throwing grenades around the time the he was killed in July 2002.

"When Sgt. Speer was in the compound, these witnesses say that they were throwing hand grenades into the compound," Kuebler told reporters.

The chief prosecutor for the tribunals, Army Col. Lawrence Morris, declined to discuss the defense theory in detail, but added, "I am quite confident that assertion will be proved groundless should it be raised in court."

Paceman Morne Morkel grabbed two big wickets in successive overs to boost South Africa's hopes of restricting India to a modest total in the third and final Test here on Saturday.

The 23-year-old dismissed well-set Venkatsai Laxman and former captain Rahul Dravid before the hosts reached 165-4 in their first innings at tea on the second day in reply to the tourists' 265.

Sourav Ganguly was unbeaten on 26 with Yuvraj Singh 21 not out.

South Africa lead 1-0 in the series following their victory by an innings and 90 runs in the second Test in Ahmedabad. The opening match ended in a draw in Chennai.

Laxman (50) and Dravid (29) put on 78 runs for the third wicket, but found it tough to score freely against South Africa's pace-spin combination on an uneven pitch.

Morkel, playing only his sixth Test, was sharp and unpredictable in his opening four-over spell after lunch as he tested both Laxman and Dravid with variations before removing them in quick succession.

The Olympic torch was to emerge from a protest-plagued odyssey through Europe and the Americas Saturday for a low-risk albeit drastically curtailed African leg.

It was due to arrive at around 10:00 pm (1900 GMT) in Tanzania, where an official statement said Dar es Salaam "is determined to be the first city to host a trouble-free relay and will be looking to follow in the footsteps of Buenos Aires."

After stumbling through an obstacle course of pro-Tibet protests in recent days, controversy again preceded the flame's arrival in China-friendly Tanzania as the highest-profile member of the torch relay pulled out.

Kenya's Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai cited concerns over China's role in conflict and human rights violations in Tibet, Myanmar and the Sudanese region of Darfur for her no-show during the only African stop in the torch's journey to Beijing.

"I have decided to show solidarity with other people on the issues of human rights in Sudan's Darfur region, Tibet and Burma," she told AFP on Thursday.

Man faces jail for smuggling iguanas in fake leg

A Californian man faces jail after being convicted of smuggling stolen rare iguanas into the United States inside his prosthetic leg, justice officials said Friday.

Jereme James, 34, was convicted on two counts of smuggling and possessing endangered animals and is due to be sentenced on July 14, a statement from the US Attorney's Office in Los Angeles said.

Prosecutors said James stole three baby Fiji Island banded iguanas from an ecological preserve while on a trip to the South Pacific islands in 2002 and smuggled them by concealing them in the compartment of a prosthetic leg.

The iguanas are threatened with extinction because of habitat loss and are considered an endangered species.

Regarding Bill Clintons repeat Bosnia cover up, Nancy Pelosi said:
"I can't for the life of me figure out why the president would have said it except he may have been having a late night adult moment,"

Talking about Bill Clinton's adult moments means too many things to too many people so was Nancy hitting below the belt?

TPM

For months, TV viewers have been told by government, by industry and by the media that if they already subscribe to cable, there's no need to worry about the coming transition to digital broadcasting.

So cable customer Doris Spurk was surprised to learn that thanks to the transition, she would have to rent a converter box for $5.95 per month, per television set, plus pay for a $60 service call to install it. With five televisions in her home, the conversion would increase her bill by 75 percent.

"It really ticks us off," the 63-year-old central Florida resident said. "If they are in the right and can do this — charge these prices — then the educational effort that the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is doing is really misleading everybody."

Thus far, government and the broadcast industry have focused their consumer-education efforts regarding the transition on viewers of over-the-air television programming. But information about how the transition will affect cable subscribers has been scant.

The congressionally mandated transition requires all full-power television stations to broadcast only in a digital format starting in mid-February. Anyone with a non-digital television who uses an antenna will need a converter box. The government is giving out two $40 coupons per household to subsidize the cost of the boxes, and about 10 million coupons have been requested so far.

After what AAR has done to Sam, i feel sorry that he has to take this crap in order to try to support his family. Hopefully the publicity from all that is going down will open a door for him somewhere. As mad as Sam must be at AAR for not offering him Randi's slot, why would he not want to go anywhere else.

That guy looks like he would be the last person to want violence .. looks more like a bleeder.

DORGAN SAYS U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY'S BAKKEN SHALE STUDY SHOWS DRAMATIC INCREASE IN RECOVERABLE OIL
Thursday, April 10, 2008
WASHINGTON, D.C.) --- U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) said Thursday’s release of an eagerly awaited U.S. Geological Survey report, which found that the Bakken Shale formation in western North Dakota holds an estimated 3.65 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil, should give a significant boost to North Dakota’s already-booming oil industry.

According to the USGS, the Bakken Shale is the largest “continuous” oil accumulation the agency has ever assessed. It is larger than any other USGS oil assessment in the contiguous United States.

And i think it was at the end of the vodcast that he mentioned something about going over to Nova-M in a heartbeat, if he got the offer.

that's my recollection, anyway.

thank you, i know i was not bugging--did not get the above, so ja i do apologize!

..the Young Turks? I would say no one ,when I've listened they are always running repeats of yesterdays broadcast. I seems they are trimming the talent to 9 hours a day or so.
makes you wander what,if any, plan they have. In any case,it would seem they would have several openings...Sam should eventually find a weekday slot. But, maybe they are cleaning out the house, before they set it ablaze, trying to collect some insurance. All will be revealed, eventually! Didn't Sam say BURN IT ,burn it all down! in a Hunteresque fasion yesterday?

It is beautiful here in northern Nevada 72 degrees with a sweet little breeze. Steve is out planting fruit trees and readying the garden for vegetables. The house is quiet and the sun is shining.

So much to be grateful for...

Sam will get his own show one way or another. I bet Randi will pull strings for him too. She loves him and Marc very much.

Does that go to explaining why Morning Sedition was canceled?

Drivetime programming is unnecessary?

That's one hell of a way to run a radio staiton

It has become apparent to me that the owners simply want to promote themselves and their own political agenda

AAR is nothing more than an exercise in vanity

get off the dam blog and help the poor man!! what is wrong with you? does he not work enough in the week? geez!

Steve told me to tell you he loves you and appreciates your compassion for a hard work ethic....

meanwhile I will sit on a velvet pillow and push bon bons in my mouth

The seemingly far-fetched theory that Leonardo da Vinci was of Arab descent has been given new backing in a study, published this week, that suggests his mother was a slave.

The study casts light on slavery in Renaissance Italy. At the research's launch, Alessandro Vezzosi, a Da Vinci scholar and founder of the Museo Ideale at Vinci, said: "A lot of well-to-do and prominent families bought women from eastern Europe and the Middle East. The young girls were then baptised. The most common names were Maria, Marta - and Caterina."

Last year, a study by an Italian academic of a fingerprint left by Da Vinci found that it included a configuration normally only found among Arabs.

AAR is all done, time to consider euthanasia.

Randi loves no one but herself, I doubt she knows how to help anyone but herself. I can't see her putting any energy helping Sam or Marc.

Sorry. Be realistic.

Although, I think I envy your optimism in this regard.

Have a weekend.

.... is Fran Drescher's week, if I heard Richard Greene correctly on his show/Friday/4-11-08/last portion of the first hour. He had a caller, Ken from Hawaii, who was wonderfully pro-Sam/anti-AAR as it is now, discuss the turmoil and lack of ethics at AAR. Richard responded with the "plan" by AAR by bringing on celebrites to broaden the base of AAR to challenge the Fox base. I empathize with what Richard/Mark Green/e are saying: They need to broaden their numbers/base. But bringing on the celebrities going to do it? What I got from Richard, he's saying we can't handle the heavy stuff - there's too much of it and we need to lighten up. I thought that was the reason Lionel was hired? So, we're getting celebrities to lighten our load - to go in a different way to draw in more people - catch more people, draw them in. It's not that I don't understand that thinking ....

But, AAR had some of the best comedic/political minds doing the same at the very beginnings of AAR and what happened to them? AAR still has 1-2 of them, don't they? Like, Sam?

It's too bad we all can't buy-out AAR - turn it into a community-owned radio company. You can tell I know nothing about radio/businesses/etc. :) :) We owned a greenhouse once but went bankrupt. We gave our employees health insurance, vacation, etc. but we couldn't fight off the bank and Wal-mart.

Good luck, Sam, whatever you decide is best for you and your family. We've always enjoyed your voice/perspective!!

Takecare, :) :) :) :)

Pelosi on Bill Clinton's Error-Riddled Excuse: a 'Late-Night Adult Moment'
April 11, 2008 8:34 PM

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was asked about former President Bill Clinton's error-riddled defense of his wife, regarding her Hemingway-esque accounting of her 1996 trip to Bosnia.

"I can't for the life of me figure out why the president would have said it except he may have been having a late night adult moment," Pelosi told CBS's Bob Schieffer, "but let's leave it at that."

Kind of harsh for a House speaker to say about a former president.

And ABC News' Sarah Amos points out that Bill Clinton's comments were hardly "late night" -- having been uttered at 3 in the afternoon and again at 5 pm.

Somebody buy these Democrats some watches.

Mrs Clinton jumped to the conclusion that he was taking a stand. “I wanted to commend Prime Minister Gordon Brown for agreeing not to go to the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Beijing,” she said.

Downing Street said that Mr Brown publicly accepted an invitation from Wen Jiabao, the Chinese Prime Minister, to attend the Games when he went to China in January.

WWRL's web site www.wwrl1600.com Lists on it's schedule "Sam Seder Progressive PM" weekdays 3pm to 6PM

"Sam now shares his insightfulness daily 3 - 6 pm"

I don't see any mentions of WWRL on this site.

So what's up?

I like Sam Seder better than any of the other hosts they have, based on this criteria

political insight
humor
topical and relevant subject matter
tightly paced show
great guests

For example I think Thom Hartmann is good, but why is he obsessed with the Ayn Rand people? Why does he give those folks so much airtime?

The only Air America show I thought was better than Sam's was Al Franken's show. Even though Al Franken is not as liberal as I wish he was, his show was tightly paced, incredibly entertaining and smart (see my criteria above). Franken probably had a huge staff (and budget) to help make that happen. Sam Seder appears to be doing that same caliber show on a shoestring budget.

(Note to Lionel: using big words is not what makes a show "smart")

Lu' not to numb out your brain, but there are 4 schools of Tibetan Buddhism Ngingma is the oldest and most esoteric lots of really wild yogi's who live in caves for 20 years of meditation and have their long long hair wound up on top of their heads. Ningma's wear the robes during practice(I can't run around in Nevada like that). In Ningma ethical sex and lots of fun and goofyness are part of the practice

In Gelug...the newest school, the monks are the only ones who dress and do formal practice...there are tons of nuns and monks and lots of monastic celebacy. The Dalai lama cherishes all four schools. My myspace page has some info and lots of good Tibetan Buddhist friends where there is more info:

Sam,

A very wise person once told me that you are not required to stay in dysfunctional relationships. Perhaps you can't walk away for monetary reasons but I hope you are looking! One thing for sure is AAR is part of the dsyfunction junction.

i smiled...i suck and you get healed!

streams....I have too much trouble adjusting to new radio personalities. It took me a long time to warm to Randi....at first I thought she was just hateful and angry...then I realized how smart and funny she was..

Sam at first put me off by saying Rapepublicans but then I listened and fell right in love(like a mom of course)....

fucked up........help me Scott.

If they aren't going to give Sam afternoons, then it seems like a no brainer to put him on in the morning before Lionel or take the lackluster Richard Green off at night and put in Sam!

difficult circumstances...what a wonderful person, no lie!! they all are though can tell you stories...with momz being me one would expect different----and i speak for today dont know about tomorrow!

This is unbelievable rdplum. This coming from Richard Green. I don't know if people remember when Sam was filling in, I guess for Rachel Maddow, right before Richard's show. The sammycam was still on. And, you could hear Green say he wanted Sam to stick around to appear on his show. We all could hear the audio of Richard talking to his staff frantically minutes before he was to go on the air. It was embarrasing. He sounded like he hadn't done any show prep. I also learned more about Green when I listened to him talk to Roseanne Barr before she was to fill in for him. I found out he is a close friend of Tony Robbins. Yeah, that Tony Robbins! And, he met Roseanne when they both went to a comedy club where Roseanne was performing. He said she then performed at Tony's Wedding.
So, I guess I'm not surprised he would want celebrities to fill Randi's time slot. (btw I used to like Roseanne but she has totally wigged out about this election).

Sam,

Appreciate the detailed account of the behind the microphone at AAR over the last two weeks.

Hopefully, AAR will offer you a daily timeslot. You've more than earned it. But the powers that be seem to have an uncanny ability to make the choices which alienate loyal listeners and degrade the quality of the programming

If in the future you need local affiliates to be lobbied to pick up your daily show; I'm sure if you post such a request that it will happen.

i was born in johannesburg...kicked out when i was a year old..raised most of my juniour (sp) life in a commonwealth country....guess what? we used to get him on the radio every saturday and whole family listened in!! funny shit huh!

It has really turned out that way.

That isn't how AA started out, though.
That original lineup was awesome!
Looking back now, it's unbelievable.
Marc Maron says that it was Liz Winstead that first approached him about doing radio.
And, Janeane Garofalo, approached Sam to co-host with her.

If only very wealthy liberals had stepped forward with enough money to fund that original lineup with no allusions about making money, but a goal of just getting content out over the airways.

freezing up!!

is Randi's old contract.

Did you guys see on Larry King where she said she had a contract that didn't allow them to fire her, and they didn't like it?

If you didn't see Rhodes on Larry King,
Fernando has something for you:
http://www.samsedershow.com/node/2859

I posted a link to an MP3 of Maron talking to Rhodes (shortly after her appearance on BFW King's show) in the comments.

Flutecake, glad you posted it anyway. I'd been meaning to link to the Garofalo clip but kept forgetting about it.

Good evening my blog buddies and welcome all new blog buddies to be.

I am in serious major migraine, so I do not know how coherent I will be, but altho I just came by to share something funny I found, I wanted to add my 'remembered" comments to the rest of what we have already since we all know information is KEY,

RCTOWN's is correct in his recollection - Sam did say that it is not in NOVAM's budget/business plan right now for them to hire him at this time. AND from what Mike Malloy has said as well as Sam, It really seems like its not in their budget to hire ANYONE at this time...Finding a way to hire Randi was probably done with some serious "creative" accounting work and the public comments have said "at ALMOST" the current monney/salary she was making at AAR. So that means she isn't taking a HUGE pay cut but is take some sort of pay cut in this process...but as we who are aware of whats going on at NOVAM - they are NOT yet in a giant finanical overflow cash position right now, so they had to FIND a way to be ABLE to hire RANDI keeping her CLOSE to where she was $ wise to make sure HER standing in the radio biz didn't drop. Something majorly important industry wize...
SO
While they NovaM would probably want to hire SAM, now is probably just not the time they can do so.
That means that Sam, who has the chops of proven on-air talent AND ability to sit in for anyone at any time of day - ie meet the needs of the widest range of marketplaces - can and if given the chance COULD and WOULD develop his own following beyond his existing one at any time of the day, including the now open 3-6 AAR time slot.
THIS is what he is asking us to write to AAR about, and all of us who beleive in him have done so, will do so, and will continue to do so. Sam has said in his post today, and on the Sammy Cam many times that even tho he doesn't lke the fact of what has avnhappened with Randi and the entire situation, that he now and has always even before all this happened has ALWAYS wanted a 5X a week show again, he really missed being able to fully expand on stories and talk to all callers and basically do what he has come to love to do AND does better than just about everyone else in radio. And he wants to stay at AAR because it is where he got his start - and we all know he has proven his loyalty in two BIG stints of filling in all over the timeslots at AAR when and where ever needed.
NOW is the time for him to be rewarded for his quality of work and for his dedication and team spirit. That is what merit-based work and life based enviroments are supposed to be about. He has earned his place even in this incarnation of AAR and their version of having to market test and prove yourself. I just hope that like most others, that he is rewarded with what he has earned.

NOW - the 6-9AM AAR timeslot
From what I remember - When TYT left AAR - mutually friendly agreed up on split with good terms still existing between TYT and AAR.
AAR decided not to fill the drive time slot with a national show - but instead chose to have their local affilates choose who and how to fill that slot. Many local stations choose to have a local show during drive time in the mornings and from what I remember that is what AAR had been doing even with TYT available, and now this part is JMHO - it may be that AAR business only thinking could have decided that it was more cost effective to allow their affiliates to have local programing during early morning drive...or to choose their own programming since drive time is different time zones across the country...and then to put their money into the other shows - maybe to try and get more original programming for weekends rather than repeats or best ofs from during the week.

So, thats the info that I have from all I have been watching and reading and a bit of my opinion based on all that.

Hope this helps, My meds did kick in so I could write this...but now I am going toward the kite flying feeling which I hate, so I will paste in my link for the funnie in a seperate post and bid you all a good night.

The way all of this has been handled is dumb, dumb, dumb. Rhodes leaving is one thing but how Belzer came to take her place was really crappy. Doesn't AAR management understand that his chances of success are now greatly diminished because of all of the bad feelings surrounding his arrival?

Like someone else has said, liberal/progressive radio isn't dead but Air America sure feels like it is on its deathbed.

Workin' Toward a Grand Unified Theory of Pseudonymous Blogging
-----------

A colloquy betwixt Sam Seder 'n a ever’day MSM reporter on the subject of that new-fangled practice alla kidz're doin': "Bloggin'"!

When the right puts up a Charlton Heston, it's patriotic and cool. When the left stands up a Roseanne, it's kooky and commie.

Besides the whole progressive movement is "roots" based, whether it's netroots or grassroots.

You mean you want to see Randi rehired !

I thought it was going to be fixed that night. You prolly told me otherwise but I had a Hillary/Billary moment and it slipped my mind. ;-)

nurseries have them, very inexpensive.

Thanks for stuffing me in that rabbit hole :)

I typed this only once but rebooted and edited before posting :)

You're too good for them Sam. I'll be over listening to Randi. I suspect most of the affiliate stations will switch to keep her. I hope you and Marc M will join us soon!

Don't blame me, Peter Dragon and maggiesboy put me up to it! ;)
If only more bloggers were as well grounded in the classics.

Later, Fernando.

I'm late to this discussion, but I agree that Sam shouldn't let himself get fucked over by AAR. He & Maddow are the only shows worth listening to there. I no longer recommend my local station, because my friends listen to the other shows and are turned off. If he gets the slot in 30 days great. Otherwise he should take off, because it ain't gonna happen.

From Sam's Sammycam comments, it sounds like it isn't in the cards with Nova M at the moment, but there's gotta be an opportunity with them down the line. They surely are smart enough to recognize Sam's talent.

I like the idea of an online show, though I don't know how well that's working out for the Young Turks. But if Sam had a morning online show to go with their afternoon slot, how cool would that be? I would gladly pay for that!

Hang in there Sam. You're the best thing on the air. Period.

.... wear their heart/soul on their sleeves and can get by with it, while most of us would get fired if we spoke/acted the same way at our jobs. I admire womyn like Roseanne and Randi, maybe even a bit jealous and envious, althou I rarely listened to Randi's show anymore, I realize she had a huge fan base. I listened to Roseanne when she substituted for Richard when he was on the boat trip and she was very good. I agree with you, she was intense about Hillary/election and I'm starting to wonder if this issue is a womyn "thing." It may be difficult for a man to understand completely .... or, I maybe completely off-base. But, I empathize with Roseanna about Hillary, which doesn't mean I agree. :) :)

Richard said during his show on Friday, he has a Masters' degree (?) in Spirtual Counselling, along with his law degree. He has a vast and electic work/educational background that brings a different favour to his show.

I have dial-up so I don't get to see/hear the sammycam. Sadly, I miss some of that "action." :) :)

Takecare .....

Peace

2,240 people have responded to Sammy's survey - Which we know - a majority of his listeners are not even represented in this survey.

A observation - Sam with your ties with heavy hitters like Markos - Alterman - Bobby Kennedy - Pap - Center for American Progress and your loyal listeners you need to really look into buying a base station (there is one for sale in upper new york) and start your own broadcast.

Have it as a "listener / owner " set up to begin with where people can invest and buy shares for $100 (but limit the amount of shares any one listener can purchase). Limit the purchase to individuals - no organization. If you just get at a minimum of the amount of people who responded to your survey @ 100.00 = $224,000 you could have a down payment for the station.

You obviously have the ability and tech savvy to do a web base program like the young turks - But new listeners have got to hear you over the celistial airwaves.

Partner with local / state / national blogs - give the local and state premier blogers the ability to do hour shows - etc.

>Does anyone know who replaced the Young Turks in >the 6-9am EDT time slot on AAR?

They were running reruns of Randi. Our local affiliate picked up Bill Press (zzzzzzzzzzzz) so I went back to listening to sports talk if I'm near a radio at that hour.

It was great to hear Sam on the radio again but I suspect our local affiliate's switchboard is going to be lit up with callers demanding to hear Randi in the afternoon and by the time AAR pulls their head out of their ass the switch will have become permanent. Randi is the 2nd most listened to show here after Ed Schultz. She beat out Limbaugh years ago.

You are wildly intelligent, versatile, humorous, and even cute :) ...AAR's loss for taking you for granted.

I like Guy Fawkes' idea about a web-based radio show for you, Sammy. But I love the idea of you leaving AAR and completing the set with Randi, Mike, Manzo, et al at Nova M Radio Network.

I just watched the video... that's not how you run a business. Going behind the backs of an employee (a loyal one at that)
Besides the money problems, now you add the politicking. never mind the fact that loyal listeners (of Maron and Seder) are being ignored...
Sheesh...
Sam is an important voice... funny and intelligent..
------------------------------------------
i'm not beyond shameless self-promotion. visit punditfight.com to see Sam battle it out with the rest of the pundits. left and right!

I knew from the first second I heard of the 'suspension' that she would tell them to pack sand. They have jerked her around so much in the last...is it 6 years??? What ever. I have been listening to you guys since the very beginning, on satellite radio..since I live in repub hell. I know all about "Peaches". I actually heard that interview...should go down as one of the most bizarre ever.
You, Sam...deserve the time slot. I have no idea why Beltzer is there, he is a comic, not a political commentator. We need you, a political commentator that is also a comic. Perfect.
The people who run AirAmerica are all, without exception, the most moronic dumb-asses ever to try to have a radio station. Ah, well...what choice do we have?? We will stay with you, no matter what. We love you, Sam!!!

Leave AAR Sam.

They don't respect you.

Maybe they'll do something really smart.

But if you can use history as indication of what will happen in the future, then I don't have high hopes.

For illustration of Air America's problems, watch the documentary "Left of the Dial" (Netflix has it). Air America's problems have always stemmed from bad management, not from the on-air talent.

A lot of the same people are still running the show... I just read that Danny Goldberg is still on the Board of Directors. Umm, how is that possible? When you do a bad job running Air America, you don't step down, you just step sideways? And Mark and Richard Green are still involved in management, and who knows who else is being carried over. New owners, but same old management... and same old problems, I assume.

On the positive side, I might have a lot more free time, if I'm not tethered to the radio. Maybe I'll take up a hobby.

Thank you very much for this information.
I like this site.
