The World Needs More SEDER!!!

words cannot express .....I'm so verklempt right now
but there is still a glimmer of hope for 3-6 , right?

(sorry for the subject copy PBtrue but it was perfect)

The World Needs More SEDER!!!

sniff sniff sniffing along

the moments you're proud of are also the ones that make us so proud of you but so many more to add to the list and so little time left

i am also confident we'll hear you again soon - wherever...........

love and hugs

mirella

In this economy AAR can not afford to lose you. We will keep fighting to keep you on the air, or get you back. We love you Sam and thanks for helping us get through the last four years feeling like we do have a chance to turn things around.

speech against obama from the republicans and hillaricans

to be expected and let's let them enjoy it because.........

........the swetest part of the obama presidency will be watching the fascists worms squirm and moan under their own principled "no criticism of the president will be acceptable in a time of war"

ah, that'll be fun to watch all these pigs reposition themselves and and and great fodder for utubers, croksandliers and jon stewart/colbert of course

WRONG! And you're modest, too :)

It's sure been a wild ride, though, hasn't it.

Get a rabbit hutch and raise earthworms beneath them. Worm castings are like gold.

Thanks for all you do!

Sam is what the world needs. I posted the following on the AAR site, as if it would help, keeping the faith.

If the world were fair and just, and reason ruled, Sam Seder would be the afternoon host for AAR. He could include Marc Maron and Janeane Garafalo as he (and they) saw fit. His loyalty, his past success, and his talent should give him that-it's a no-brainer. Marc Maron would also be a wonderful addition, he brings an honesty and an off the radar perspective, not to mention some great comedy. But, he is not Sam Seder, and he is not what is so deperately needed in this country right now, let alone on AAR: clear headed, unapologetic progressive analysis, entertainingly presented with humor and integrity. Bring the Sammy. And give Maron a show too. The progressivesphere would heave a sight of relief.

Regardless of what AAR does or does not do, Sam, you've made a positive difference in the world and who can ask more than that. And many of us will be watching and waiting for your next incarnation in the public square.

that was a bone thrown to crank, where is he this morning? originally mispelt but I forwent (sic) the correction as so much more a propos!

Will always be loyal to you Sammy.

AAR is retarded in not recognizing and rewarding your efforts and outstanding achievements in both broadcasting and connecting talk radio with the blogs that have been instrumental in shaping the American progressive and political dialogue. Anyone doing so in radio today has you to thank for blazing that trail. You saw the importance of this when no one else did. It is your legacy and I would argue, yours ALONE.

Excecutives at AAR, like the Democratic Leadership, mainstream media and of course the hideous Republican party have and continue to scoff at the viability and importance of the blogs ignoring completely that we are the American citizenry. We voice our concerns and frustrations daily against the tide of xenophibia, ignorance, apathy and greed that threaten our republic.

Thanks so much for all you've done and we'll all be here awaiting your return to the ariwaves after tonight.

When you are outspoken you are reasoned and truthful. Take care okay.

Budweiser to be Belgian?

InBev close to $50 bln financing package for Anheuser-Busch bid - report

Sun Jun 1, 2008 10:19am EDT

LONDON (Reuters) - Belgium's InBev NV is close to securing a $50 billion financing package to enable it to launch a takeover bid for Anheuser-Busch Cos Inc, maker of Budweiser beer, the Sunday Telegraph reported.

The paper said InBev, the world's second-biggest brewer, had held talks with banks JP Morgan, Santander, BNP Paribas and Merrill Lynch about a financing package.

Once it has guarantees from the banks, InBev could write a formal letter to Anheuser-Busch's board, a move expected as early as this week, the paper said, quoting market sources.

A source familiar with the situation said last week that InBev was still considering whether to bid for the U.S. brewer and had not yet begun merger talks.

Mirelli do you sometimes watch Lydia's kitchen. Italian lady that makes easy dishes and has a recipe book out...i catch her on the PBS channel

posted this comment over @ the other cross-post:

**Love the Sam Seder = )
The book shows have been absolutely stellar! I'm in awe of Sam's ability to find such important & interesting work/authors - & his interviews w/ them are simply spot on.

& his integration of broadcasting w/ internet technology has been unique & exciting - not to mention he's a funny, funny guy = )

Mr. Smartypants Seder definitely belongs on the airwaves as much as possible - if AAR brass doesn't give him another program ASAP, they're kookoo = P

P.S. I am SO gonna miss hearing Jon Benjamin's spots - they always make me grin.**

& on another note - still relevant too - I've been unable to get Bill Scher's Liberal Oasis podcasts lately(I know he updated the site recently & now iTunes won't work). Thanks to Sam for introducing us to Scher & his always informative show - now I hate missing it = (

Does anyone here have an inkling about that sitch - or a link to an alt. source for LO podcast download?( I tried all the links @ LO site already, as well as re-subscribing - & I don't think it's a firewall issue)

TIA

Anyway, I will remain and am very appreciative to AAR for letting me
continue as the online editor for AirAmerica.com. We are building an
important online component to progressive talk. That said, I am
confident this will not be the last opportunity for you to hear/watch
me on political talk.

its getting on my nerves now

Many of us watched as Sam grew in his job. He deserves the best. Too emotional to write more.

My best wishes for you Sam!

your turn to fix me now!

Follow you where ever Sam.

from being italicized soooooo...too earlyyyyyy

Trying to fix the bold

Maybe strong?

I think I messed up the bold and italics.

Didn't know what I was doing.

I'll go back and fix it.

Just checked WHMP's sched. & no Liberal Oasis - did they cancel Bill's show?

Itunes podcast page has May 31, 2008 listed, but I can't get it to play.

Is there no more Liberal Oasis? The website still sez there is.....

what a petulent little tool

Follow Sam wherever he may go
There isn't a podcast that's too long
Or segment too deep I won't get
For he is my talk show host.....

Lydia's kitchen..Lu, she has a great show...she is so peasanty.

Someone please inform me becasue I wasn't here and am a little fuzzy on this.

Did Clinton not speak out against the whole notion of the "popular vote" being viable when it was first thought that superdelegates might decide the election back a couple of months ago? Weren't people angry that superdelegates were going to nominate her and subvert the "will of the people" by ignoring that Obama had more of the popular vote?

I realize that given the caucus states, this is a non-issue, but just curious.

was she on donna reed? or father knows best...I think it was donna reed..

our PERFECT theme song for Sam....

worm. HERE is why 5 Democrats removed their name from the ballot. To reinforce the DNC rules. They were supporting Harold's rules. Now that it is politically convenient he talks like he's not also culpable. That's despicable especially with the expressed view of Hillary herself who clearly said Michigan did not count.

Whenever a candidate changes their minds like that to manipulate a vote, especially at the end of the competition, I think of George Bush. Another worm.

Thank you so much for all of the great work you've done and continue to do. I'll follow your radio and internet career no matter where it takes you. You will go far, and if AAR doesn't seize this opportunity to sign you on weekdays, well, that will speak volumes about AAR's lack of progressive values.

Sam, here's to hoping that AAR will FINALLY stop its self destructive behavior and keep you on. Any of the following slots would be acceptable to me: 6-9am, 9-noon, noon-3, 3-6pm 6-9pm, 9-11pm, 11-2am or 2-5am.

NOT 5-6am though cause that's when I sleep.

But what about Harold Jennings?

I had to pop in here to say s'long to my Sammy baby. Take

it from an old fart like me Sam, you have your shit

around the corner.

Let it come, let it come, don't dream it's over..........

PD

Missing him. And Cat Chew.

Don't leave!

Missing you too!!!

Sam will be back on the air somewhere in some manner.

This is a pain in the ass, but we've come to expect this from AAR right? Until then, my membership is canceled and I'm waiting to take my business wherever Sammy and Maron turn up.

why are there no news clips this morning?

Australia's Iraq Combat Operations Have Ended

SYDNEY, Australia — Australia, a staunch U.S. ally and one of the first countries to commit troops to the Iraq war five years ago, ended combat operations there Sunday, a Defense Department official said.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was swept into office in November largely on the promise that he would bring home the country's 550 combat troops by the middle of 2008.

Rudd has said the Iraq deployment has made Australia more of a target for terrorism.

COLUMBIA -- Glenn McCall won a milestone intraparty election here during today's state GOP convention to become South Carolina's first black Republican National Committee member.

"It's time for the Republican Party to get out of the foxhole. We need to go on the offense," McCall said. "We need to come out and build bridges to new people. As a party, demographically, we're hurting if we don't."

McCall, a retired Air Force officer who works for Bank of America in Charlotte and lives in Rock Hill, defeated interim RNC member Drew McKissick, a Columbia public affairs consultant with ties to the party's Christian conservative wing. McCall is the York County GOP chairman, the state party's only black county chairman.

Katon Dawson, the state Republican Party chairman, said McCall's election was a "historic" one for South Carolina Republicans who have enjoyed only modest success in wooing blacks from the Democratic Party which usually gets 95 percent of their votes.

"There has been no leader in our party during my time as chairman who has been more passionate or authentic than Glenn McCall in living out the conservative ideals we hold dear," Dawson said. "I couldn't be prouder of his historic election as Republican National Committeeman from South Carolina. I look forward to serving with him."

http://www.greenvilleonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080531/NEWS...

I think this line of thought started at the Code Pink moment in 2002 with Hillary. But Dana nails it in his prescient piece HERE.

Great read compares Hillary's campaign to Nixon's.

Perhaps Mark Green wants air America to fail.

Other than Ring of Fire, there isn't a progressive show left. I stopped listening to Rachel since the simulcasting-of Race To The White House. I respect Rachel, but I can't take that awful show.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KACQuZVAE3s

Thanks for the great shows, Sam. Whatever happens, we'll follow your career.

Note to business types at AAR:

I have NEVER written to any radio station exec in my life...until the past few weeks. Why not? Despite being a radio junkie, no particular host has ever inspired, made me laugh or made me yell out "Yeah, that's right, damn straight," the way Sam Seder does.

Don't get me wrong. Thom is terrific, Randi was top notch (oops, probably shouldn't bring that up, never mind), and Al Franken brought me on board as a paying customer. I signed up again just a few weeks ago on the hope it would help Sam.

Did you catch that, crafty business-type capitalist person(s)? A paying customer asking: "Please, sir, I want some more. Here's me tuppence. I'd like a bit of Sammy Cam, please?"

Here's my promise: If Sam is on, the next time my subscription comes up, I'll pay more money. If he's gone, so am I, and you lose your tuppences.

Is that clear?

what is this? no applause?

Democrats See Cuba Travel Limits as a Campaign Issue in Florida

MIAMI — Baltasar Martin Garrote desperately wants to see his mother turn 86 in August at her home in Cuba. But an American law will not let him.

Cuban-Americans can visit the island of Cuba only once every three years, so because he spent 12 days there last October, he must wait, hoping and praying that his mother, who has cancer, lives until 2010.

“It doesn’t make any sense,” Mr. Garrote said. “If you have sick relatives, you should have a right to see them. That’s not political.”

Miami being Miami, however, the policy is political and always has been. President Bush tightened the travel rules just months before the 2004 election at the behest of Cuban-American hard-liners, and this year, Democrats are trying hard to exploit growing frustration with the law’s impact.

Obama Hits McCain Again: "We Don't Need More Leaders Who Can't Admit They've Made A Mistake"
By Greg Sargent - May 31, 2008, 12:47PM
And now for some real political drama.

On the trail today in South Dakota, Barack Obama will keep up the pressure on John McCain for wrongly saying that the troop numbers in Iraq are now at "pre-surge" levels, using McCain's refusal to admit error over the gaffe as yet another way to strap him to George W. Bush. From the prepared remarks sent over by the Obama campaign:

We all misspeak sometimes. I've done it myself. So on such a basic, factual error, you'd think that Senator McCain would just admit that he made a mistake and move on. But he couldn't do that. Instead, he dug in. And the disturbing thing is that we've seen this movie before -- a leader who pursues the wrong course, who is unwilling to change course, who ignores the evidence. Now, just like George Bush, John McCain refused to admit that he made a mistake. And that's exactly the kind of leadership that we've had through more than five years of fighting a war that should've never been authorized, and should've never been waged.
We don't need more leaders who can't admit they've made a mistake, even when it's about something as fundamental as how many young Americans are serving in harm's way.

I see that nic and with the news in NYC lately I think of "CranesAreFalling"

OK what I popped in for was to share a joke ......

A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.

"Not a chance" says the husband, "it is 3:00 in the morning!" He slams the door and returns to bed.

"Who was that?" asked his wife.

"Just some drunk guy asking for a push" he answers.

"Did you help him?" she asks.

"No, I did not. It is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!"

"Well, you have a short memory," says the wife. "Cant you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him and you should be ashamed of yourself!"

The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pouring rain.

He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?"

"Yes" comes back the answer.

"Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband.

"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark.

"Where are you?" asks the husband.

"Over here on the swing" replied the drunk.

Sam is not merely a talk show host. I've said this before. What makes Sam so great is his advocacy. He gets things done. The entire blogesphere should be hounding Green about this horrible decision. After all the prominence that they now enjoy is due to Sam.

If you recall, the Majority Report raised so much money for fighting Dem- Paul Hackett, that he asked the audience to stop. He nearly unseated mean Jean Schmidt in Ohio. Well, she won according to Diebold. Furthermore, we need Sam's analysis during this critical election. I have really missed him on radio. He doesn't play that dishonest triangulation, kum ba ya- bullshite like Rachel and Thom.

McClellan 'naive' to believe Bush was 'uniter': Byron York

In his new memoir, Scott McClellan said he believed President Bush's 1999 campaign promise to bring bipartisanship to Washington and be a "uniter, not a divider."

That was "amazingly naive," Byron York told Fox's Chris Wallace.

York said, "I think the thing that distinguishes McClellan, he was amazingly naive in his belief that George W. Bush could bring us all together, which is why he comes to Washington."

Bush made promises of unity several times in his campaign. "I showed the people of Texas that I'm a uniter, not a divider," President Bush said in a May 1999 interview with Salon's David Horowitz.

He also claimed status as a uniter in a November 2000 editorial published in USA Today.

This video is from Fox's Fox News Sunday, broadcast June 1, 2008.

Pinning the blame for 9/11
Special Report: A Phila. law firm wages an epic legal battle to win billions from Saudi Arabia.
By Chris Mondics

INQUIRER STAFF WRITER

Less than a mile from the mournful place in Lower Manhattan where the World Trade Center came crashing to the ground, in a hushed federal courthouse, a small band of Philadelphia lawyers is prying loose secrets of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

It is here that the Cozen O'Connor law firm has filed an 812-page lawsuit on behalf of U.S. and global insurance companies alleging that Saudi Arabia and Saudi-backed Islamist charities nurtured and financed al-Qaeda, the author of those deadly attacks.

Led by its flinty chairman and founder, Stephen Cozen, the firm has invested thousands of hours and millions of dollars to scour the world for witnesses, documents and other evidence in its attempt to hold the oil-rich desert kingdom liable for more than $5 billion in damages.

Among the companies represented in the lawsuit are Chubb, Ace, Allstate, One Beacon, and nearly three dozen other insurers.

"Our concern was whether there was a viable case to be made against the defendant," Cozen said, "and whether the defendant could pay."

Round 1 in this titanic legal battle went to the Saudis and their high-powered lawyers three years ago when a U.S. District Court judge removed the government and Saudi royals as defendants.

Defense lawyers have declined repeated requests for interviews, citing the pending litigation. But in court papers, they describe Cozen's allegations as "fabrications" and note that the 9/11 Commission found no evidence of official Saudi involvement. Moreover, they point out that Saudi Arabia itself has been an al-Qaeda target.

Australia ends combat mission in Iraq; Iraqi govt has differences with US over security deal

SINAN SALAHEDDIN
AP News

Jun 01, 2008 10:37 EST

Australia ended its combat operations in southern Iraq on Sunday, while the Iraqi government said it has differences with the United States in negotiations over a long-term security agreement.

The official statement by government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh comes amid growing opposition to the deal among Iraqis who see it as a possible violation of Iraq's sovereignty and are worried about an extended presence of American troops.

Talks "are still in their early stages and the Iraqi side has a vision and a draft that is different" from those being presented by U.S. negotiators, al-Dabbagh said.

He was not more specific about the points but insisted the Iraqi government was focused on "fully preserving the sovereignty of Iraq ... and will not accept any article that infringes on this sovereignty and doesn't guarantee the interests of Iraqis."

The spokesman also said it was too early to discuss dates for an agreement and said each stage of negotiations would be presented to the Iraqi national security council.

His comments came two days after tens of thousands of followers of anti-U.S. cleric Muqtada al-Sadr took to the streets to protest the deal. Al-Sadr and his loyalists have called for the issue to be put to a public referendum.

U.S. officials insist they are not seeking permanent bases but have not otherwise commented on the negotiations, which the two sides hope to complete by July. The agreement is to replace a U.N. mandate for U.S.-led forces that expires at the end of the year.

Chicago priest apologizes, says episode has been 'painful,' generated angry e-mail

Staff
AP News

Jun 01, 2008 12:02 EST

The Chicago priest whose comments about Hillary Rodham Clinton reignited the controversy over Barack Obama's former church has apologized to his parishioners.

At his own church Sunday, the Rev. Michael Pfleger said he isn't racist or sexist. He said the past few days have been the most painful of his life.

Pleger said he's received more than 3,000 angry and threatening e-mails since he was a guest preacher at Trinity United Church of Christ last Sunday. During that sermon, Pfleger, a Catholic priest, pretended he was Clinton crying over "a black man stealing my show."

In the apology, Pfleger said the sermon included theatrics he often uses while preaching.

I'm listening to Laura -- and have read the bottom part of the blog...and stopped to make Harold and Sara a flickr contact (I'm http://www.flickr.com/photos/kateannenyc/.)

Peace hugs!

Yes, there is little doubt- If I remember Dusty Springfield, I are very old..

More seriously, I do believe in miracles. I have to. I root for the Mets. And for many of these same reasons, Air America has the talent "in situ" to still make great progressive radio, in the persons of Sam Seder and Marc Maron.

Ultimately, these two could make inroads into the progressive talk radio market. They certainly could compete with Randi. But I don't think the head sheds at AAR are much interested in filling this time slot with the native talent anymore. Tis a shame!!!

Good Luck and Godspeed Sammy.. I am following your "Meteoric Rise" and will be listening.
I love you, man!

.....In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make...

since I don't have teevee at the moment...

was Hillary on any on the sunday talk shows defending her supporters disgraceful behavior yesterday?

Did she take any responsibility?

~-~-~

Sammer, you know I loves ya more than my luggage. ;-p Wherever you go, I'll follow. And I hope that's far far away from AAR, but, that's just my personal wish.

Okay... i remember yesterday hearing about a clinton supporter who said that if FL & MI delegates were NOT FULLY seated that she would vote republican this year.

This statement is flawed in numerous ways, but what I would have liked to hear the reporter tell the lady and get her response, is that the RNC already penalized FL, MI & SC with 1/2 vote status for moving their primaries up... but the RNC didn't have any debates or meetings....

So what why would she vote (R) when they did the same thing!

The Office of President Bill Clinton responded with fury Sunday to a Vanity Fair article that attacks the former president and suggests he is out of control personally and consumed by “cavernous narcissism.”

The article, which hits newsstands next week, was distributed to the media and online in advance of its publication. The author, Todd Purdum, has covered Clinton for 16 years. He is married to former Clinton Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers.
“A tawdry, anonymous quote-filled attack piece, published in this month’s Vanity Fair magazine regarding former President Bill Clinton repeats many past attacks on him, ignores much prior positive coverage, includes numerous errors, and ultimately breaks no new ground. It is, in short, journalism of personal destruction at its worst,” reads a statement from the office of the president.

“Though (Purdum) researched the piece for several months, his first contact with President Clinton’s office was several weeks before he closed the story. Most revealing is one simple fact: President Clinton has helped save the lives of 1,300,000 people in his post-presidency, and Vanity Fair couldn’t find time to talk to even one of them for comment,” the statement continues, along with several pages of argument refuting the article’s main points.

Purdum suggests that in the years since Clinton left the White House $12 million in debt, he has been caught up in a world of rich friends, adoring fans and borrowed jets. The article quotes one former aide calling Clinton’s current associates like billionaire Ron Burkle and movie producer Stephen Bing “radioactive.”

The aide says Clinton’s associates are compounding worries that the 61-year-old former president is running with a fast crowd

One source close to Clinton even suggested he has never been the same since quadruple bypass surgery in 2004.

“There’s an anger in him that I find surprising. There seems to be an abiding anger in him, and not just the summer thunderstorms of old. He has been called into question repeatedly by top staff,” a former aide to both Bill and Hillary Clinton told Purdum.

More devastating is Purdum’s claim that about 18 months ago, a former Clinton aide tried an intervention with the former president because he was hearing so many complaints about inappropriate behavior. According to the article, the aide believed “Clinton was apparently seeing a lot of women on the road.”

Purdum wrote that the aide was rebuffed by advisers close to Clinton, never got to speak directly with him, and the attempted intervention was not well received by either Clinton.

The article also includes questions about the millions Bill Clinton has made since leaving office and notes the troubles for Hillary Clinton’s campaign attributed to him.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran warned Sunday it may limit cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog, expressing disappointment over the agency's recent report that was critical of Tehran.

The International Atomic Energy Agency, in a report to the U.N. Security Council last week, suggested Iran was stonewalling investigators and possibly withholding information crucial to determining whether it conducted research on nuclear weapons.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said Sunday the IAEA "could present a better report," adding Iran may have to set "new limits" on its cooperation with the agency.

Iran's newly elected parliament speaker Ali Larijani made a similar threat on Wednesday. Parliament on Sunday elected Larijani, formerly the country's top nuclear negotiator, to the powerful post of speaker for a year.

Looking forward to your future endeavors Sam. I'm sure if you don't get the slot you'll be on the air somewhere else soon.

Gotta say, I wouldn't be too upset to see you cut AAR loose...

Until then, consider doing a Sammycam show on your own once in a while. I'd be happy to pay to watch.

McClellan promises to donate portion of book profits to Iraq veterans.Filed Under: Iraq
By Amanda at 11:26 am McClellan promises to donate portion of book profits to Iraq veterans.
Yesterday, MoveOn launched a petition calling on former White House press secretary Scott McClellan to donate the proceeds from his new book to veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. This morning on NBC’s Meet the Press, McClellan promised to give a portion of the profits to these men and women. Watch it:

Because you are all JEALOUS!

Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on

'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun

Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun

You know when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I want you to always remember

Yes, there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone...

Seriously, WTF is wrong with these people?

Just said that Puerto Rico will have a low vote count. Maybe as low as 400,000. This does not bode well for Clinton.

The pundits are analyzing the heck out of this.

Lets put Lanny Davis and Harold Ickes in a room together. They can bore the heck out of each other comparing who like Hillary more.

I will miss you! My 85 year old mother will miss you too. You are terrific and a class act. Intelligent, thoughtful, polite, funny and cute! You deserve to be on TV! Best of Luck to you and I will keep an eye out for you...

For the Dewey segent YouTube link -- what a hoot!

And for enjoying my pix, including the Drama Queen photos. (Silly, but late one night I took a stab at it :-)

Personally, I am proud of some of my celebrity catches -- David Sirota, Randi, Cindy Sheehan, Thom Hartmann, Mark Crispin Miller....etc., leading up to the very recent Bobby Kennedy Jr., Kevin Bacon and Dan Aykroyd in the Shad Fest set. I may have a teeny Sam findable in the Town Hall picture I took of The Nation impeachment talk he hosted. (I will have to look to see if I posted it on flickr, but it is on my blog here: http://kateannenyc.blogspot.com/2006/03/is-there-case-for-impeachment.html. Sammy is on the far left :-)

He is still in the running for the 3-6 spot. He may or may not get it or something else could happen so lets not rush.

I read that wrong and thought you were referring to Hillary not Sam. I took a double take in shock and got it straight.

Sam's not done with this administration.

Hi, Sunshine Jim,
I'm typing up my students' final and dancing to blueroots. (Everyone gets an A). How will we all know where go if Sam is schnorred again? But it is a beautiful day in NYC.

And all the more for us AAR posters to stay up beat and polite because Collins and Green will be reading and they need to see the value of Sam's true fan base. Some of these celebs did some decent shows but they weren't consistent. Sam can produce good shows consistently and his book shows in particular show how excellent he is at interviewing.

I want more of Sam and Lauren LIVE.

I would say she's correct. She means nothing to me.

so you agree that the democrats are throwing away the election because of "an inadequate black male"?

and that Hillary is "the best candidate possible"?

my little phoenix is so cute, she always puts a smile on my face...i love kids man

So, stop me if you've heard this one:
A White Sox fan, a Red Sox fan, and a Yankees fan are walking through Central Park together. They discover an unconscious,naked woman. The White Sox fan takes off his cap and places it over one breast, the Red Sox fan places his cap over the other breast, and the Yankees fan places his cap over her crotch. They call the police. The Sergeant, inspecting the scene, picks up the White Sox cap, and puts it back down. He picks up the Red Sox cap, and puts it back down. He picks up the Yankees cap, puts it back down, picks it up again and stares. The Red Sox fan asks: "Whadayou? Some kind of pervert?" The cop replies: "No. This is the first time I've seen a Yankees cap on anything but an asshole."

Unburying the Evidence of Biggest ‘Dirty War’ Massacre

It was not hard to find the remains of the victims, some of whose bones were actually exposed to the elements. But it took 24 years for the people of the highlands village of Putis in southern Peru to get a response to their insistent requests for exhumation and identification of the remains.

In 1984, 125 men, women and children were shot to death by army troops after being tricked into digging their own mass grave.

The biggest single massacre of civilians in Peru’s 1980-2000 civil war is just now coming to light, thanks to the unflagging efforts of the victims’ families.

Since May 17, 60 bodies have been found, including those of 10 children between the ages of six and 10.
...

...the military ordered all of the men, at gunpoint, to dig a large ditch; some were told it was for building a fish farm, to raise trout, while others were told that houses would be built there."

"When the supposed fishpond was ready, the troops brought together the roughly 100 villagers around the pit, including men, women and children, and without further explanation, shot them to death," it adds.
...

It's only personal if you're a Yankees fan. In which case it becomes acceptable.

Iraq cites problems with US security pact By ROBERT H. REID, Associated Press Writer
2 hours, 5 minutes ago

Iraq's chief spokesman acknowledged differences with the United States over a proposed long-term security agreement and pledged on Sunday that the government will protect Iraqi sovereignty in ongoing talks with the Americans.

Australia became the latest member of the U.S.-led coalition to pull combat soldiers from Iraq, fulfilling an election promise that helped sweep Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to power in November.

Opposition has been growing in Iraq to the proposed security pact with the U.S., which will replace the current U.N. mandate and could provide for a long-term American military role in this country.

Much of the opposition comes from anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, but statements critical of the deal have also been issued by mainstream Sunni and Shiite figures who fear it will undermine Iraqi sovereignty.

Chief government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the Iraqi negotiators have a "vision and a draft that is different" from the Americans but that the talks, which began in March, were still in an early stage.

"There is great emphasis by the Iraqi government on fully preserving the sovereignty of Iraq in its lands, skies, waters and its internal and external relations," al-Dabbagh said. "The Iraqi government will not accept any article that infringes on sovereignty and does not guarantee Iraqi interests."

U.S. officials have refused to comment on the talks until they are complete but have insisted they are not seeking permanent bases. The agreement is to replace a U.N. mandate for U.S.-led forces that expires at the end of the year.

President Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said they were hoping to finish the negotiations by July to allow time for the Iraqi parliament to sign off on the deal.

But Iraqi officials said last month that talks were unlikely to wrap up by July because of wide differences over several issues, including immunity enjoyed by U.S. troops from prosecution in Iraqi courts and rules governing U.S. military operations.

In recent weeks, Iraqi forces have taken the lead in operations against Al-Qaida in Iraq and other Sunni militants in the northern city of Mosul and against Shiite militias in southern Basra and in the Shiite district of Sadr City in Baghdad.

But the government appears to be following a policy of negotiating with militants — a strategy that calmed the situation in the three cities but probably enabled some hardliners to slip away to fight another day.

During a press conference Sunday, Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, a Kurd, spoke out in favor of the U.S.-Iraq security agreement, saying Iraq's forces still needed the support of the U.S.-led coalition.

"Our forces and capabilities haven't reached the level of self-sufficiency," Zebari said at a joint news conference with visiting French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner. "We need this strategic security agreement ... for the time being. But this is not open-ended."

why does the new thread link lead back to this page?

N-kitti gave me the keys to the liquor cabinet so everything is topshelf AND on the house. As always turn your keys into N-kitti when you get to your 3rd drink. We've rented a bus to drive everyone home after the show, pbtrue1 has offered to drive (she has a CDL!).

So bottoms-up peeps. Let the party begin!!

my bad...too many tabs open on the browser...

Sam, I know you'll end up on your feet doing what you do best. Your show was about the last one I needed my premium membership for... Thom and Rachael I can get elsewhere. Will miss you soooo much till you end up doing something awesome on the air again!!!

Freedom isn't free...

Dana

How about a reunion at some point, some day, some where....

I have listened to you since your first Majority Report with J. You're the best.

I'm sick and tired of AAR treating you like poopie. You are a good host and you think fast on your butt (seated) and promote the brand of politics I like to hear. AAR keeps doing you, and you keep waiting around for more. Mike Malloy was calling for you a few months ago, when Randi went over to NovaM.

Don't you get tired of being an office boy at AAR?

I'm not giving up yet. You are just about the best there is on radio. I hope that you will be resurrected on AAR, although it seems like nearly every program change they make is worse than what it replaces.

I'll follow you wherever you go, as I have Randy and Mike.

Perhaps XM 167 will carry your show, at least. I wouldn't miss Lionel at all, for example.

Be well and Prosper.

Other than Ring of Fire I don't listen to Air America since Randi left. Most of their "afternoon guests" are unlistenable unless it's Sam or Marc. It seems like their web stream is never working during Laura Flanders on sundays. Nothing much else there worth listening to. (yeah Hartmann but my local station tape delays him and runs it opposite Malloy) Sam please go somewhere you'll be appreciated!

... and my heart. Whatever comes next, Sam, thanks for what you've given me these last 4 years.

p.s. Please do make the Myla audio clips available for download. They crack me up (and "poopy poopy poop" had my 5-year-old nephew howling, as well)
