I like that conbo keeps posting the word verification codes. That's funny! I had a couple of good ones early on and almost did it. She read my mind again. oronypvz
Conbo is hella funny... :) What till she's sees all the library-related porn stories in the news today...
It was weird..there's been a bunch of stuff happening at work regarding porn & kids...then it so happened to be the big topic on one of my librarian newsgroups today too...
I don't think I would have enjoyed being so coddled growing up as a lot of authority figures seem to be trying to enforce on kids these days...
Warning: Cinderella.com is not for kids... so they say...
I can't see anything good in the way of freedom of information in the immediate future...
Plus, I was thinking..unless I'm TRYING to find porn...I don't remember just stumbling on it accidentally...'they' act sometimes like the internet is going to open it's giant mouth and swallow the kids or something...
People I think should teach their kids what is and isn't appropriate info to give out online...like how they're taught to look both ways & not get into strangers cars...I mevn they don't ban streets so kids don't get hurt...so...
And they will say-look at the monster! look! and I will drool.
Reminds me of Boo Boo Runs Wild Not a pretty picture but at least Boo Boo and Cindy seem to be enjoying themselves... I think. :/ The moral of the story is it's far better to choose to be a drooling monster than to be irradiated into one... maybe? I dunno. Totally out of my depth.
Dang, I know you're younger than me but when you reference things like this, I suspect you're my age. [Cue the theme for Twilight Zone.]
I do want to apologize to you for overreacting to something you posted on the blog way back, by the way. Misunderstanding can become a way of life. It's more evidence of damage to me than anything else, and I hope I haven't been too much a shit about it. If I have been an unforgivable shit, I'd like to blame the aging process and general calcification. I'd prefer not to be held responsible for my actions. ;) YMMV
I do enjoy reading you, and have enjoyed reading you, even when I was pissed-off. So there.
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz may appoint a new resident director for Iraq soon, a move that sources inside the Bank say could contradict the institution's policies on engagement in conflict-stricken areas and put his role in the 2003 U.S. invasion back into the limelight. The move by Wolfowitz, the former number two official at the Pentagon and a main architect of the U.S.-led war, likely means the Bank would release new loans to the occupied Arab nation, despite the deteriorating security situation and recent disclosures of massive corruption in reconstruction efforts. "This is exactly what he shouldn't be doing and what the [World Bank] board was initially afraid that he would do, which is to use the financial resources of the World Bank to take some of the heat off the U.S. Treasury and U.S. policy," Bea Edwards of the Washington-based watchdog group Government Accountability Project told IPS.
Does someone know where we can listen to Michael Medved Vs Sam Seder. townhall has the link to the Sam Seder episode, (it simply references to it) but the audio is of other topics. As the links get older the episode recaps are less comprehensive. I must say however Hugh Hewitt and Michal Medved (of Townhall) otherwise have some of the most comprehensive and accessible audio archives. i just wanna here the exchange.
They are both from Staten Island and I recall Doug saying that he is a teacher. One reason HR might not get Social Security is that he has a federal pension which makes him ineligible so maybe he was a teacher as well.
So if Doug and HR met would Doug's depth of knowledge and insight be able to penetrate HR's willful ignorance or would it be like matter meeting anti-matter and cause the universe to end.
Just wanted to mention that the buzz has not only been on Sammy Cam, but on the regular streaming audio, too.
Hmmm, ironically, though, as I type this, the buzz is gone. :-)
I like when you just tasvlk like you are doing right now to Joe. When you don't have a guest, you switch to yell mode which isn't as pleasant. (this is just loving constructive advice - I don't even want this to be viewed as criticism). Just talking rather than shouting at the listening audience would be a definite plus.
Love you Sam! Love the Cam!

Joe Conason is great!. Keep bringing him on. He's really smart and also entertaining and clear to understand.
BTW, with the social security thing... I've been employed and paying my own rent for the past 7-8 years, but I haven't been earning credits for social security during this time. I worked as a grader and classroom assistant at a university, and now I'm a contractor for National Oceanic Atmospheric administration - and at both locations they didn't deduct social security, but did deduct medicare. At the school they were careful to keep me at 49% of full time so that social security didn't kick in. as a research contractor at NOAA they deduct a mandatory 7.5% but put it in a special 401K type account. If I were disabled, I couldn't get social security

as the new york times ramps up reporting on the administrations' (possible) rhetoric on iran, i think we need to remind everyone (including the nyt themselves) of the letter published by their own editors back in 2004, apologizing to the readers for their lazy journalism...

Hey Sammy! Can you speak to one party rule if Dems get elected in '08? Thought I was worried about that, but after the Senate vote on the non binding Iraq resolution over the weekend I think I understand now. Can you speak to this? Thanks Kristen in Houston
Check out the video link. She's right. Teheran looks a lot like Salt Lake City.
From The Utah Amicus Blog:
I’ve been very concerned about the recent reporting on Iran. It so reminds me of the build up to the invasion of Iraq which led to the disastrous mess in which we are so entangled.
I have a family connection to Iraq. My aunt married a Persian many years ago, and my cousin, Mahan and I are very close – almost sisters. Around my home, you’ll find a number of beautiful Persian artifacts, as well as stories and books of poetry from Persia/Iran. At family reunions I have met a number of Mahan’s Persian relatives who are remarkable, witty, and warm people. Many of them were forced to flee Teheran, Iran due to our involvement in the coup that placed the Shah in power in 1953. (You may remember that the US had a hand in that, and look where that has led us.)
This short video dropped in my email box yesterday. I clicked on the link and continued multitasking - had several windows open. When the music began I finished the current task and switched over. The first thing I saw was a city up against the mountains, which I assumed was Salt Lake. More images flashed - urban shots, cultural events, skiing, and soccer. Then, it became clear that I was not looking at photos of Salt Lake at all, I was looking at photos of Teheran. The similarities between the two are striking. Nothing spoke to me as powerfully as this video.
Iran being a completely different country than Iraq, and knowing this administration’s capacity to ignore facts, I decided to do some research and encourage you to do the same.
Polish President Lech Kaczynski strikes again, this time shocking the Irish government on a recent state visit with a comment that the human race "would disappear if homosexuality was freely promoted." Gay Irish Sen. David Norris, who helped to secure the decriminalization of homosexuality in Ireland in 1993, hit out at the president's comments, calling them "ignorant, unsophisticated and a disgrace to the European community."
In their own words: Members of Sunni militia speak out [VIDEO]
Joshua Holland: This short clip says more about the situation in Iraq than a thousand blathering talking heads.
This clip from LiveLeak doesn’t have any action, but it speaks to several issues.
First, it shows how little nuance there is in our discourse about Iraq. These, after all, are Sunni militiamen – the bad guys; the bitter dead-enders; the Saddamists and the violent extremists who hate democracy. But while there are Sunni groups that fit that description, these guys seem to be (and obviously I can’t tell for sure) a bunch of family men trying to protect their homes (the Adhamiya district has been a fat target for Shiite death squads).
So think about these Joes the next time someone’s prattling on about “Islamofascists” and “terrorists” in Iraq. These conflicts, like the Clash of Civilizations in the larger sense, are driven by small groups of maniacs on both sides, and many, many ordinary people (like these guys appear to be) are caught in the cross-fire.
I just finished a 10 year study and concluded [and your sammy cam confirms it] that the more hair on your head the more likely your are to be on the left [yourself - Frankin and Oberman] and the less hair you have on your head you are more likely to be a wingnut[ BillO,Rush and coulter- she is a man isn't she]. Of coarse Hannity is the exception but he is on the all meat eating diet so he will have his own issues in another 1-2 years.
I think it's fair to say that most Australians don't particularly care to be thanked for Iraq, because we don't want to be still there. And if we did want thanks from someone for our ceaseless acquiescence, we certainly don't want it from the Dr Evil of American politics.
Next time can you send Mr Obama, we much prefer his rhetoric..
p.s. Like the sammy cam, come on give us a impression of aussie. i heard your tony blair the other day. not bad
Ok .. Why isnt Air America or the Sam Seder show broadcast in Atlanta? I have to listen online.
All we get is our daily conservative dose of Laura Inghram and Bill Bennet. Yeah Yeah! I am a liberal who listens to conservative radio to get my daily dose of comedy in the A.M.
Also these guys are so homophobic, its ridiculously funny. Bill was on the other day talking about how Salmon makes you gay. hahah!
I am a professional project manager who was amazed at the disgusting stupidity of yet another Bush admistration buffoon out of his element, as I listened to NPR Friday morning 2/23/07. Steve Inskeep had interviewed yet another disaster readiness and anti-terrorism expert who's 4 year study showed the abysmal work that Bush adminstration had done. To be fair, he followed up with a Dept. of Homeland security official. Most of the official's response was NOT operationally understandable in answering the simplest of questions. He appeared to not have done ANY collaboration with state officials, or based his on ongoing work plans being. One could say he did not want to tip off the "terrorists", but he was just clueless. A capabable person as seen on congressional testimonies, could discuss operational and concrete collaboration (if any) without revealing sources and methods that were deemed too sensitive. To make it short, his final TELLING comment about the administration's true philosophy was that "He did not believe that the American Public was willing to pay for the real work and funding levels needed to make significant changes". HOW absurd given the nearly 1 Trillion dollars we've spent or going to spend in 4 years in Iraq alone! Convince me THAT spending was not done for "NATIONAL Security"? Prior to the -08' elections, progressives need to push for coordinated plans to to defeat more Republicans in the Senate and House to get the control that this nation needs to address the criminal neglect on the homefront - see Walter REED Med . Center...- nuff said.
"If you want to debunk the nutjobs who suggest Bush blew up the towers go to..."
You know, there's a site to debunk every type of nutjob. Nutjobs who think Bush blew up the towers, nutjobs who think bush didn't blow up the towers, nutjobs who think everything you can think of.
You're all nutjobs, and your debate is a waste of time. Everyone knows (or thinks they know) what happened that day. Who cares, the results are the same. It's like debating who shot JFK.
Boy, this was complicated to get to today. Sam keep up the goof fight, and I agree with you that the election of 200 was a defining moment in time. It was an official Coup by a faction of the Republican party. PLotted and planned by many in that party. I am glad that you pointed that out.
Pottenger about nutrition & modern diseases NOT homosexuality
He discovered that cats who ate only canned milk & cooked meat got allergies & other modern degenerative diseases like people do today. They all died after the third generation.
Modern processed foods may be doing the same thing to us as it did to the cats.
It can't be proved directly because you obviously can't experiment on people like that...except for the big modern food experiment we're all in.
It's a shame the crazies seem to have picked up on some side comment he probably made (the research is maybe 80 years old) about supposed homosexuality in the sick cats. They always get everything backward.
"when does "Annatopia" take control of THIS blog and start banning people who "talk bad" about Sam?"
It took more than that to get banned by Anna. Anna didn't ban people unless they were caught in the act being extremely vulgar and rude and making an embarassing ass of themselves. Things that wouldn't fly on any blog anywhere.
My, the rightwing moonbats are so caught up in our little blog. Watch that bloodpressure, fellas.
"I'm for law and order the way that is should be Songs about the nights they spent protecting you from me Someone called us 'outlaws' in some ol' magazine New York sent a posse down like I ain't never seen"
I gotta say I'm really glad Sam is having Joe Conason on - the minute I heard him say it I thought, "At last!" Sam has always done better interviews than Al did.
So, will we be having David Brock, or do you reckon that's already covered with Duncan Black (Atrios)?
And Sirota et al.
But, please, NOT Howard Fineman, unless it's to try to get him to apologize for all that crap about how Al Gore was emotionally disturbed because he changed his suit, but Bush was really cool because he had a different costume for every occasion.
And please, don't ever let O'Donnell sit in for you. I couldn't believe Al did that.
He has an insane-- literally insane-- fixation about Reagan. He thinks that every bad condition stems from Reagan's policies. I don't believe that Reagan was a god or anything, but I know that he isn't responsible for 75% of Hartmann's complaints.
Listen to him prattle on sometime about "Why can't we go back to the tax rates under Eisenhower? You Republicans got a problem with Ike?"
Somebody call up and ask him about the guy who ran AGAINST Eisenhower (and his slimy Veep) in 1960 on a "missile gap" (i.e. calling Ike "weak on defense") and in 1962, as President, called for Reaganesque "across-the-board tax cuts" (even for rich people like his dad and family)?
On the matter of the causes of Homosexuality - The statistical assumptions that are the basis of rational empiricism, which produces what we call Knowledge, say the following: IF it were possible to devise a test for the causes of Homosexuality, and - IF that test is *both* Valid (i.e. the test does in fact test what it claims to test) and Reliable (i.e. given similar subjects, the test produces similar results), Assuming an unlimited population from which to draw a representative cross section of subjects, the results of said test will manifest a "normal distribtion".
This means that if the purpose of this hypothetical test is to identify biological factors causing homosexuality, there will be a normal distribution showing relatively few subjects whose homosexuality is most highly corelated with biological determiners; a relatively few subjects whose homosexuality is least highly corelated with biological determiners; and by far most subjects clustered around an average of the scores, i.e. various proportions of biological and other determiners.
... The '23 Enigma', as discovered by William S. Burroughs, presents itself as a good omen for some - disaster for others. Trying to convey the phenomenon to the uninitiated is as easy as describing the night sky to someone who has been blind from birth.
When Burroughs was in Tangiers, he knew a Captain Clark who ran a ferry over to Spain. One day, Clark told Burroughs that he had been doing the route for 23 years without an accident. That day, the ferry sank . . .that evening, while Burroughs was thinking about the incident, a radio bulletin announced the crash of Flight 23 on the New York-Miami route. The pilot was another Captain Clark!
Burroughs began to keep a scrapbook of 23s. When writing about Dutch Shultz, he realized that when the New York City gangster had put a contract out on 23-year-old Vincent 'Mad Dog' Coll, who met his end on 23rd St. Shultz himself died on October 23rd, 1935. ...
A "green revolution" is burgeoning in America's cities and towns.
And it's a surprise. Six years ago, as we exited an economically exuberant but perilously polluting 20th century, the idea would have seemed chimerical. True, by the 1990s we'd begun to talk about community and global sustainability; President Clinton even appointed a White House council on the topic. But the conversation proved to be a tad ahead of its time. It exhibited little of the intensity with which the green ideal is today being talked up, and in some places, truly implemented. ...
... The light wraps you in its mortal flame. Abstracted pale mourner, standing that way against the old propellers of the twighlight that revolves around you. ...
Nova M Radio really has to stop doing these infomercials.
They are really undermining their credibility. You don't know whether you have just tuned in to a run of the mill bs show, or they are trying to sell you healthcare products and services.
Disguise is not a false beard, dyed hair, and plastic surgery. Disguise is clothes and bearing and behavior that leaves no questions unanswered… American tourist with a wife he calls “Mother”… old queen on the make… dirty beatnik… marginal film producer… Every article of my luggage and clothing is carefully planned to create a certain impression. Behind this impression I can operate without interference for a time. Just so long, and long enough. So I walk down Boulevard Pasteur handing out money to guides and shoe-shine boys. And that is only one of the civic things I did. I bought one of those souvenir matchlocks clearly destined to hang over a false fireplace in West Palm Beach, Florida, and I carried it around wrapped in brown paper with the muzzle sticking out. I made inquiries at the Consulate:
“Now Mother and I would like to know.”
And “Mother and I would like to know” in American Express and the Minzah pulling wads of money out of my pocket “How much shall I give them?” I asked the vice-consul, for a horde of guides had followed me into the Consulate. “I wonder if you've met my congressman Joe Link?”
Nobody gets through my cover, I assure you. There is no better cover than a nuisance and a bore. When you see my cover you don't look further. You look the other way fast.
The New York Times The Paper Of Record For The Bush Administration
The New York Times,the paper Of Record, is now only useful to dog owners to be used to pick up their excrement with which the pages of the paper are filled. With the exception of a few columnists and Editorials, the paper is filled with fables not by reporters but by Stenographers. A Secretary with good shorthand skills could easily replace most of The Times' so called reporters who do nothing more than regurgitate the Bush Administration talking points. Judy Miller may be gone but Michael Gordon remains. There is no difference from Tass during the days of the USSR-a propaganda arm of the Bush Crime Family. Other than Columnists such as Bob Herbert there is no reason to read The Times. David Brooks spews out pablum that one would expect to find in the pages of The National Review. Doesn't The American Enterprise Institute have any openings? Tom Friedman could be assigned as the food critic, he surely eats enough. Rather than his words passing through his bowels and into a toilet bowl where they belong he could at least tell us where to chow down. Come to think of it The Times is not only for dog owners, it could save us money on toilet paper. I guess The Times is indeed still useful.
Psychics were recruited by the Ministry of Defence to locate Osama Bin Laden's secret lair, it was claimed yesterday.
Newly declassified documents revealed that the MoD conducted an experiment to see if volunteers could 'see' objects hidden inside an envelope.
It is claimed the ministry hoped positive results would allow it to use psychics to 'remotely view' Bin Laden's base and also to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
However, after running up a bill of £18,000 of taxpayers' money, defence chiefs concluded there was 'little value' in using psychic powers in the defence of the nation and the research was taken no further. ...
Clear, sharp, and loud; the harp is glad to die And give the clarion one note silver-high. It was too sweet for music, and I weave In vain the tatered woof of memory.
Ashes and dust! Cold cinders dead! Our swords are rust; Our lives are fled Like dew on glass. In vain we lust Our hopes are sped, Alas! alas! From heaven we are thrust, we have no more trust. Alas!
Gold hairs and gray! Red lips and white! Warm hearts, cold clay! Bright day, dim night! Our spirits pass like the hours away. We have no light, Alas! alas! We have no more day, we are fain to say Alas!
In Love's a cure For fortune's hate; In Love's a lure Shall laugh at fate; We have tolled Death's knell; All streams are pure; We are new-create; All's well, all's well! We have God to endure, we are very sure All's well!
In such wise rang the challenge unto Death With clear high eloquence and happy breath; So did a brave sad heart grow glad again And mock the riddle that the dead Sphinx saith.
When I am dead, remember me for this That I bade workers work, and lovers kiss; Laughed with the Stoic at the dream of pain, And preached with Jesus the evangel - bliss.

What the hell is wrong with Sam that he or an assistant can't even do the simple task of enabling comments on his little blog at majorityreportradio.com ??
We all know this cheesy kiddy type blog just doesn't cut it. :(
I'm sure Sam knows or someone has already told him that a long time significant Sam Seder blog cast into non-functioning isolation casts serious doubt on his commitment and credibility.
It is sad to watch a dying blog.
C'mon Sam, get with it and get in the game. We are very very dissapointed.
I had a boyfriend who did this once. He said he would be right back. He got in his car and I never saw him again. I sat there there all day waiting for him to come back. I finally went to bed.

Sad to say it but you are right blog mother. I hope the desertion of the blog by Sam is not a predictor of what will happen to his radio show. If so, the show is not long for the very small amount of radio waves & listenership it has.
It is too bad that he is on such a badly managed company like Air America because he deserves better.

============================
I don't want to diss Sam, but if he doesn't want us to think he's ditched us, he's sure not bothering to show it. Maybe our graceless ways embarrass him? Perhaps he thinks his political friends have better bloggers?
It's hard to "keep the faith" with so little given in return. yeah, there's a blog, but in name only, and, aside from the initial effort it took to create it, nothing else has gone into it.
Maybe Sam's just amazed at us, and how we just can't take a hint?
kI wish Sam would have thanked all those people who stuck with him for so many years. Sam could have shut his blog down with style. Those people should have been treated better.
1. Sam forgot his password and user name to this blog.

I'm sorry this kind of blog is disposable like tissue paper. Sam could have started another Blog.
Sam has made the same promise for over a year. I'm sorry, I feel like I have been treated badly. Who here would have let all this happen if they did not want it just this way. Everyone deals with this tech stuff daily. A year? Please!

Im sure Sam is fixing his blog. He seems to like it.
If not, you can still listen to the show, with or without the blog.

Thanks for the reminder, Toni. I used to bitch all the time about Sam's crappy blog (too many trolls, no registration) but I stopped about a year ago when folks accused me of being so negative.
And I've only posted here as Lilith, which is a function of the blog, not me trying to hide my name. I registered Lilith with eblogger long before the MRR blog broke and Sam didn't ask anyone to fix it.
I agree with anonymous concerning the "forgotten password" issue. I forget my passwords all the time (seriously) and have to have them resent to me. Sam hasn't forgotten his email addy has he?
So... Ok, I will keep my thoughts to myself. I can continue to do this, sorry for the brief outburst, Sunshine. But I think I'm right.
Thank you Alice, for the Circe pic, I'll add it to my collection of pictures.
What good does it do to pretend Sam cares. Will that change anything? Some people will never be able to admit what is happening.

Dang, I know you're younger than me but when you reference things like this, I suspect you're my age. [Cue the theme for Twilight Zone.]
I do want to apologize to you for overreacting to something you posted on the blog way back, by the way. Misunderstanding can become a way of life. It's more evidence of damage to me than anything else, and I hope I haven't been too much a shit about it. If I have been an unforgivable shit, I'd like to blame the aging process and general calcification. I'd prefer not to be held responsible for my actions.
;) YMMV

i'm like "huh!?"

let's go to toni's
Yeah, I saw the one on Dogpile, but passed on it it due to low bit rate.
NC does the exact opposite, makes sure even the dial-uppers have access. I look for the higher bit rate stuff.
Listening to it now.

Wolfowitz May Bring Bank Back to Iraq
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz may appoint a new resident director for Iraq soon, a move that sources inside the Bank say could contradict the institution's policies on engagement in conflict-stricken areas and put his role in the 2003 U.S. invasion back into the
limelight. The move by Wolfowitz, the former number two official at the Pentagon and a main architect of the
U.S.-led war, likely means the Bank would release new loans to the occupied Arab nation, despite the deteriorating security situation and recent disclosures of massive corruption in reconstruction efforts. "This is
exactly what he shouldn't be doing and what the [World Bank] board was initially afraid that he would do, which
is to use the financial resources of the World Bank to take some of the heat off the U.S. Treasury and U.S. policy," Bea Edwards of the Washington-based watchdog
group Government Accountability Project told IPS.
Choicepoint (Florida, Katherine Harris), is also getting voter information in Venezuela, and Mexico.

A Greg Palast interview.
Is this where I come to join the Communist Party?
I am sick of working all week. I look around and see lots of people with cash. I would like to have more money.
I see how you guys don't do anything, and I want to be like you. Is this were you joined the Communist Party?
I already hate America, so I am cool with that. Just like you, I would like to see America destroyed.
If we can't share in the bounty of America, then we can share in it's defeat.
Should I tell people I am Communist, or hide it like you do? Why are you afraid to tell people what you are?
Do they make you sign something that says you will not tell? What would they do to you if you told someone you were a Communist?
So when will the old blog be back up again?
Do you think we can destroy America without tell anyone we will make America Communist? When America is Communist what can I have?
I think the government shut down the old blog. But they will never stop me.

Which IM does Seder mean?
Does someone know where we can listen to Michael Medved Vs Sam Seder. townhall has the link to the Sam Seder episode, (it simply references to it) but the audio is of other topics. As the links get older the episode recaps are less comprehensive.
I must say however Hugh Hewitt and Michal Medved (of Townhall) otherwise have some of the most comprehensive and accessible audio archives.
i just wanna here the exchange.
Great to hear you Joe - Sam actually lets you talk longer uninterrupted than Al - no disrespect to Al -
Is HR bizarro world Doug?
They are both from Staten Island and I recall Doug saying that he is a teacher. One reason HR might not get Social Security is that he has a federal pension which makes him ineligible so maybe he was a teacher as well.
So if Doug and HR met would Doug's depth of knowledge and insight be able to penetrate HR's willful ignorance or would it be like matter meeting anti-matter and cause the universe to end.
Good morning fellow Moonbats
Hi Sam!
Just wanted to mention that the buzz has not only been on Sammy
Cam, but on the regular streaming
audio, too.
Hmmm, ironically, though, as I type
this, the buzz is gone. :-)
I like when you just tasvlk like you are doing right now to Joe. When you don't have a guest, you switch to yell mode which isn't as pleasant. (this is just loving constructive advice - I don't even want this to be viewed as criticism). Just talking rather than shouting at the listening audience would be a definite plus.
Love you Sam! Love the Cam!

Joe Conason is great!. Keep bringing him on. He's really smart and also entertaining and clear to understand.
BTW, with the social security thing... I've been employed and paying my own rent for the past 7-8 years, but I haven't been earning credits for social security during this time. I worked as a grader and classroom assistant at a university, and now I'm a contractor for National Oceanic Atmospheric administration - and at both locations they didn't deduct social security, but did deduct medicare. At the school they were careful to keep me at 49% of full time so that social security didn't kick in. as a research contractor at NOAA they deduct a mandatory 7.5% but put it in a special 401K type account. If I were disabled, I couldn't get social security

Hey Sammy! Can you speak to one party rule if Dems get elected in '08? Thought I was worried about that, but after the Senate vote on the non binding Iraq resolution over the weekend I think I understand now. Can you speak to this?

SAM,
Check out the video link. She's right. Teheran looks a lot like Salt Lake City.
From The Utah Amicus Blog:
I’ve been very concerned about the recent reporting on Iran. It so reminds me of the build up to the invasion of Iraq which led to the disastrous mess in which we are so entangled.
I have a family connection to Iraq. My aunt married a Persian many years ago, and my cousin, Mahan and I are very close – almost sisters. Around my home, you’ll find a number of beautiful Persian artifacts, as well as stories and books of poetry from Persia/Iran. At family reunions I have met a number of Mahan’s Persian relatives who are remarkable, witty, and warm people. Many of them were forced to flee Teheran, Iran due to our involvement in the coup that placed the Shah in power in 1953. (You may remember that the US had a hand in that, and look where that has led us.)
This short video dropped in my email box yesterday. I clicked on the link and continued multitasking - had several windows open. When the music began I finished the current task and switched over. The first thing I saw was a city up against the mountains, which I assumed was Salt Lake. More images flashed - urban shots, cultural events, skiing, and soccer. Then, it became clear that I was not looking at photos of Salt Lake at all, I was looking at photos of Teheran. The similarities between the two are striking. Nothing spoke to me as powerfully as this video.
Iran being a completely different country than Iraq, and knowing this administration’s capacity to ignore facts, I decided to do some research and encourage you to do the same.

Polish president: Gays would end human race
Polish President Lech Kaczynski strikes again, this time shocking the Irish government on a recent state visit with a comment that the human race "would disappear if homosexuality was freely promoted."
Gay Irish Sen. David Norris, who helped to secure the decriminalization of homosexuality in Ireland in 1993, hit out at the president's comments, calling them "ignorant, unsophisticated and a disgrace to the European community."

Yep. Justin's a hottie. :)

In their own words: Members of Sunni militia speak out [VIDEO]
Joshua Holland: This short clip says more about the situation in Iraq than a thousand blathering
talking heads.
This clip from LiveLeak doesn’t have any action, but it speaks to several issues.
First, it shows how little nuance there is in our discourse about Iraq. These, after all, are Sunni militiamen – the bad guys; the bitter dead-enders; the Saddamists and the violent extremists who hate democracy. But while there are Sunni groups that fit that description, these guys seem to be (and obviously I can’t tell for sure) a bunch of family men trying to protect their homes (the Adhamiya district has been a fat target for Shiite death squads).
So think about these Joes the next time someone’s prattling on about “Islamofascists” and “terrorists” in Iraq. These conflicts, like the Clash of Civilizations in the larger sense, are driven by small groups of maniacs on both sides, and many, many ordinary people (like these guys appear to be) are caught in the cross-fire.

Wow. I thought Justin had long hair. He's cute.
Sam,
When will you co-host with your daughter? Is she as quick with the rapier wit?
Sam, just discovered the sammy cam - love it.
I just finished a 10 year study and concluded [and your sammy cam confirms it] that the more hair on your head the more likely your are to be on the left [yourself - Frankin and Oberman] and the less hair you have on your head you are more likely to be a wingnut[ BillO,Rush and coulter- she is a man isn't she]. Of coarse Hannity is the exception but he is on the all meat eating diet so he will have his own issues in another 1-2 years.
Great job and please keep up gods work.
hi from an aussie
I think it's fair to say that most Australians don't particularly care to be thanked for Iraq, because we don't want to be still there. And if we did want thanks from someone for our ceaseless acquiescence, we certainly don't want it from the Dr Evil of American politics.
Next time can you send Mr Obama, we much prefer his rhetoric..
p.s. Like the sammy cam, come on give us a impression of aussie. i heard your tony blair the other day. not bad

I am a professional project manager who was amazed at the disgusting stupidity of yet another Bush admistration buffoon out of his element, as I listened to NPR Friday morning 2/23/07. Steve Inskeep had interviewed yet another disaster readiness and anti-terrorism expert who's 4 year study showed the abysmal work that Bush adminstration had done. To be fair, he followed up with a Dept. of Homeland security official. Most of the official's response was NOT operationally understandable in answering the simplest of questions. He appeared to not have done ANY collaboration with state officials, or based his on ongoing work plans being. One could say he did not want to tip off the "terrorists", but he was just clueless. A capabable person as seen on congressional testimonies, could discuss operational and concrete collaboration (if any) without revealing sources and methods that were deemed too sensitive. To make it short, his final TELLING comment about the administration's true philosophy was that "He did not believe that the American Public was willing to pay for the real work and funding levels needed to make significant changes". HOW absurd given the nearly 1 Trillion dollars we've spent or going to spend in 4 years in Iraq alone! Convince me THAT spending was not done for "NATIONAL Security"? Prior to the -08' elections, progressives need to push for coordinated plans to to defeat more Republicans in the Senate and House to get the control that this nation needs to address the criminal neglect on the homefront - see Walter REED Med . Center...- nuff said.

"If you want to debunk the nutjobs who suggest Bush blew up the towers go to..."
You know, there's a site to debunk every type of nutjob. Nutjobs who think Bush blew up the towers, nutjobs who think bush didn't blow up the towers, nutjobs who think everything you can think of.
You're all nutjobs, and your debate is a waste of time. Everyone knows (or thinks they know) what happened that day. Who cares, the results are the same. It's like debating who shot JFK.
Boy, this was complicated to get to today. Sam keep up the goof fight, and I agree with you that the election of 200 was a defining moment in time. It was an official Coup by a faction of the Republican party. PLotted and planned by many in that party. I am glad that you pointed that out.

Pottenger about nutrition & modern diseases NOT homosexuality
He discovered that cats who ate only canned milk & cooked meat got allergies & other modern degenerative diseases like people do today. They all died after the third generation.
Modern processed foods may be doing the same thing to us as it did to the cats.
It can't be proved directly because you obviously can't experiment on people like that...except for the big modern food experiment we're all in.

So, will we be having David Brock, or do you reckon that's already covered with Duncan Black (Atrios)?
And Sirota et al.
But, please, NOT Howard Fineman, unless it's to try to get him to apologize for all that crap about how Al Gore was emotionally disturbed because he changed his suit, but Bush was really cool because he had a different costume for every occasion.

He has an insane-- literally insane-- fixation about Reagan. He thinks that every bad condition stems from Reagan's policies. I don't believe that Reagan was a god or anything, but I know that he isn't responsible for 75% of Hartmann's complaints.
Hartman's myopia about Reagan isn't his only one.
Listen to him prattle on sometime about "Why can't we go back to the tax rates under Eisenhower? You Republicans got a problem with Ike?"
Somebody call up and ask him about the guy who ran AGAINST Eisenhower (and his slimy Veep) in 1960 on a "missile gap" (i.e. calling Ike "weak on defense") and in 1962, as President, called for Reaganesque "across-the-board tax cuts" (even for rich people like his dad and family)?
Hint--he wasn't a Republican.

Randi is off her game today. This is the second time she keeps whining on about the scope of the conversation.
On the matter of the causes of Homosexuality - The statistical assumptions that are the basis of rational empiricism, which produces what we call Knowledge, say the following:
IF it were possible to devise a test for the causes of Homosexuality, and -
IF that test is *both* Valid (i.e. the test does in fact test what it claims to test) and Reliable (i.e. given similar subjects, the test produces similar results),
Assuming an unlimited population from which to draw a representative cross section of subjects, the results of said test will manifest a "normal distribtion".
This means that if the purpose of this hypothetical test is to identify biological factors causing homosexuality, there will be a normal distribution showing relatively few subjects whose homosexuality is most highly corelated with biological determiners; a relatively few subjects whose homosexuality is least highly corelated with biological determiners; and by far most subjects clustered around an average of the scores, i.e. various proportions of biological and other determiners.

The 23 Enigma Goes Mainstream
...
The '23 Enigma', as discovered by William S. Burroughs, presents itself as a good omen for some - disaster for others. Trying to convey the phenomenon to the uninitiated is as easy as describing the night sky to someone who has been blind from birth.
When Burroughs was in Tangiers, he knew a Captain Clark who ran a ferry over to Spain. One day, Clark told Burroughs that he had been doing the route for 23 years without an accident. That day, the ferry sank . . .that evening, while Burroughs was thinking about the incident, a radio bulletin announced the crash of Flight 23 on the New York-Miami route. The pilot was another Captain Clark!
Burroughs began to keep a scrapbook of 23s. When writing about Dutch Shultz, he realized that when the New York City gangster had put a contract out on 23-year-old Vincent 'Mad Dog' Coll, who met his end on 23rd St. Shultz himself died on October 23rd, 1935.

Do Sustainable Cities Have a Future?
A "green revolution" is burgeoning in America's cities and towns.
And it's a surprise. Six years ago, as we exited an economically exuberant but perilously polluting 20th century, the idea would have seemed chimerical. True, by the 1990s we'd begun to talk about community and global sustainability; President Clinton even appointed a White House council on the topic. But the conversation proved to be a tad ahead of its time. It exhibited little of the intensity with which the green ideal is today being talked up, and in some places, truly implemented.

Gore Vidal interview with david bender on politically direct right now.
excellent conversation.
Disguise is not a false beard, dyed hair, and plastic surgery. Disguise is clothes and bearing and behavior that leaves no questions unanswered… American tourist with a wife he calls “Mother”… old queen on the make… dirty beatnik… marginal film producer… Every article of my luggage and clothing is carefully planned to create a certain impression. Behind this impression I can operate without interference for a time. Just so long, and long enough. So I walk down Boulevard Pasteur handing out money to guides and shoe-shine boys. And that is only one of the civic things I did. I bought one of those souvenir matchlocks clearly destined to hang over a false fireplace in West Palm Beach, Florida, and I carried it around wrapped in brown paper with the muzzle sticking out. I made inquiries at the Consulate:
“Now Mother and I would like to know.”
And “Mother and I would like to know” in American Express and the Minzah pulling wads of money out of my pocket “How much shall I give them?” I asked the vice-consul, for a horde of guides had followed me into the Consulate. “I wonder if you've met my congressman Joe Link?”
Nobody gets through my cover, I assure you. There is no better cover than a nuisance and a bore. When you see my cover you don't look further. You look the other way fast.

The New York Times The Paper Of Record For The Bush Administration
The New York Times,the paper Of Record, is now only useful to dog owners to be used to pick up their excrement with which the pages of the paper are filled. With the exception of a few columnists and Editorials, the paper is filled with fables not by reporters but by Stenographers. A Secretary with good shorthand skills could easily replace most of The Times' so called reporters who do nothing more than regurgitate the Bush Administration talking points. Judy Miller may be gone but Michael Gordon remains. There is no difference from Tass during the days of the USSR-a propaganda arm of the Bush Crime Family. Other than Columnists such as Bob Herbert there is no reason to read The Times. David Brooks spews out pablum that one would expect to find in the pages of The National Review. Doesn't The American Enterprise Institute have any openings? Tom Friedman could be assigned as the food critic, he surely eats enough. Rather than his words passing through his bowels and into a toilet bowl where they belong he could at least tell us where to chow down. Come to think of it The Times is not only for dog owners, it could save us money on toilet paper. I guess The Times is indeed still useful.

Psychics 'hired to find Bin Laden'
Psychics were recruited by the Ministry of Defence to locate Osama Bin Laden's secret lair, it was claimed yesterday.
Newly declassified documents revealed that the MoD conducted an experiment to see if volunteers could 'see' objects hidden inside an envelope.
It is claimed the ministry hoped positive results would allow it to use psychics to 'remotely view' Bin Laden's base and also to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
However, after running up a bill of £18,000 of taxpayers' money, defence chiefs concluded there was 'little value' in using psychic powers in the defence of the nation and the research was taken no further.

Clear, sharp, and loud; the harp is glad to die
And give the clarion one note silver-high.
It was too sweet for music, and I weave
In vain the tatered woof of memory.
Ashes and dust!
Cold cinders dead!
Our swords are rust;
Our lives are fled
Like dew on glass.
In vain we lust
Our hopes are sped,
Alas! alas!
From heaven we are thrust, we have no more trust.
Alas!
Gold hairs and gray!
Red lips and white!
Warm hearts, cold clay!
Bright day, dim night!
Our spirits pass
like the hours away.
We have no light,
Alas! alas!
We have no more day, we are fain to say
Alas!
In Love's a cure
For fortune's hate;
In Love's a lure
Shall laugh at fate;
We have tolled Death's knell;
All streams are pure;
We are new-create;
All's well, all's well!
We have God to endure, we are very sure
All's well!
In such wise rang the challenge unto Death
With clear high eloquence and happy breath;
So did a brave sad heart grow glad again
And mock the riddle that the dead Sphinx saith.
When I am dead, remember me for this
That I bade workers work, and lovers kiss;
Laughed with the Stoic at the dream of pain,
And preached with Jesus the evangel - bliss.

endure.

Why Politics and Purity Do Not Mix

been cruising far and wide.
lots of brilliant thinking out there.
rising above the temper tantrums the question remains,
how do we harness this herd of cats to defend themselves?
I'm listening to 'Flawed', by Swervedriver. Probably one of their best songs. Next to 'Last Day On Earth'.
I'd never heard of them, but they've been around since 1990.
War Making & State Making as Organized Crime, by Charles Tilly
What the hell is wrong with Sam that he or an assistant can't even do the simple task of enabling comments on his little blog at majorityreportradio.com ??
We all know this cheesy kiddy type blog just doesn't cut it. :(
I'm sure Sam knows or someone has already told him that a long time significant Sam Seder blog cast into non-functioning isolation casts serious doubt on his commitment and credibility.
It is sad to watch a dying blog.
C'mon Sam, get with it and get in the game. We are very very dissapointed.
Where is Sam? I guess Sam has kissed us off.
I had a boyfriend who did this once. He said he would be right back. He got in his car and I never saw him again. I sat there there all day waiting for him to come back. I finally went to bed.
Do you think Sam is the kind of guy who leaves ya without sayin goodbye?

Sad to say it but you are right blog mother. I hope the desertion of the blog by Sam is not a predictor of what will happen to his radio show. If so, the show is not long for the very small amount of radio waves & listenership it has.
It is too bad that he is on such a badly managed company like Air America because he deserves better.
SAMMY WHY DID YOU DESERT US AND LEAVE US HIGH & DRY WITH NO WAY TO COMMENT ON THE SHOW BLOG???
WHY OH WHY OH WHY???
I think Sam figures he can do much better without us. Too much hassle, too little return.
Sam invited us over to this blog and then he took off. Did they used to call that getting ditched?
Moonlight on the water
Sunlight on my face
You and me together
We are in our place
The gods are in the heavens
Angels treat us well
Oracle has spoken
We cast the perfect spell
The queen is in the counting house
Counting out the money
The king is in the kitchen
Making bread and honey
No friends and yet no enemies
Absolutely free
No rats aboard the magic ship
Of perfect harmony

============================
I don't want to diss Sam, but if he doesn't want us to think he's ditched us, he's sure not bothering to show it. Maybe our graceless ways embarrass him? Perhaps he thinks his political friends have better bloggers?
It's hard to "keep the faith" with so little given in return. yeah, there's a blog, but in name only, and, aside from the initial effort it took to create it, nothing else has gone into it.
Maybe Sam's just amazed at us, and how we just can't take a hint?
;-(
To all of you here that have been asking about Sam and the blog...
1. Sam forgot his password and user name to this blog.
2. The other blog is not working
3. He said, Friday, that he was working on a new and improved blog.
Give him time, he hasn't forgotten us. He even said on Sammy Cam that without the blog to interact with, Sammy cam isn't working.
kI wish Sam would have thanked all those people who stuck with him for so many years. Sam could have shut his blog down with style. Those people should have been treated better.
1. Sam forgot his password and user name to this blog.
---
I'm sorry this kind of blog is disposable like tissue paper. Sam could have started another Blog.
Sam has made the same promise for over a year. I'm sorry, I feel like I have been treated badly. Who here would have let all this happen if they did not want it just this way. Everyone deals with this tech stuff daily. A year? Please!
whine moan snivvel.
mostly anons and mystery nics.
personally, Sam can do what he wants for whatever reasons.
we've got ToniD's blog if you want nice sparkly quick, no word verification posts.
thinking anything has to be permanent shows a real inability to adapt and evolve.
and instead of whineing why don't you come up with something interesting or helpful?
third rate attempts to put sam down is what it looks like to me.
Sam still has his emails. If you are displeased, send him an email.
But don't snivel and put Sam down.
He's got alot on his mind right now with the new owners and his trying to move his program near home.
What cats think.
Hiya, Lilith of Seattle :)
//I had a boyfriend who did this once. He said he would be right back. He got in his car and I never saw him again. I sat there there all day waiting for him to come back. I finally went to bed.//
hahaha!
i know that guy.
Im sure Sam is fixing his blog. He seems to like it.
If not, you can still listen to the show, with or without the blog.
:)
Its true.

To all of you here that have been asking about Sam and the blog...
Thanks for the reminder, Toni. I used to bitch all the time about Sam's crappy blog (too many trolls, no registration) but I stopped about a year ago when folks accused me of being so negative.
And I've only posted here as Lilith, which is a function of the blog, not me trying to hide my name. I registered Lilith with eblogger long before the MRR blog broke and Sam didn't ask anyone to fix it.
I agree with anonymous concerning the "forgotten password" issue. I forget my passwords all the time (seriously) and have to have them resent to me. Sam hasn't forgotten his email addy has he?
So...
Ok, I will keep my thoughts to myself. I can continue to do this, sorry for the brief outburst, Sunshine. But I think I'm right.
Thank you Alice, for the Circe pic, I'll add it to my collection of pictures.
And hiya back, Cat Chew!
eya Lilith
was'nt aiming at you!
sorry if ya caught a little of the scatter.
What good does it do to pretend Sam cares. Will that change anything? Some people will never be able to admit what is happening.

Oh, for crying out loud, the fella has a new home, a new wife, a new kid. multiple creative careers, I mean, give me a break, and him as well! Sheesh! You got no brain or heart? Aiiii!!!
i blame it all on sams addiction to street fried duck.
The "onna-stick" problem is certainly something to be reckoned with... IMO
G'night, fella.

it's communism by duck ingestion!

"how do we harness this herd of cats to defend themselves?"
Sixty-nine
There is a saying among soldiers:
I dare not make the first move but would rather play the guest;
I dare not advance an inch but would rather withdraw a foot.
This is called marching without appearing to move,
Rolling up your sleeves without showing your arm,
Capturing the enemy without attacking,
Being armed without weapons.
There is no greater catastrophe than underestimating the enemy.
By underestimating the enemy, I almost lost what I value.
Therefore when the battle is joined,
The underdog will win.
~~~
Something like that...
Can't stay... night jim, everyone

hey cat chew,
really liked what cats think...
my favorite is still two klibans. don't know where to find the artwork but the captions were:
- cat, one hell of a nice animal, often mistaken for meatloaf
- meow, mao se dung. (two frame illustration poking fun at a certain chinese leader).
A wife, a kid, and a job, wow what a Superman. I had no idea a human could take on such challenges. No wonder he can not call on one of the dozens who have volunteered to fix all his blog problems. No wonder he has his own show. A wife, a kid, and a job. OMG!
WHY IS THE MRR BLOG DOWN?
SAM DOESNT WNT TO PAY FOR BANDWITH?
WHY?
morning gang!
Praise the bloggie gods!
did sam get rid of that wretched verification BS?
Oh baby! He did!
thanks sam! WTG u ol computer geek!
Allowing Mexican trucking is part of a larger plot to bypass American Regulations and unionized ports. I read this article about the "NAFTA Superhighway" last summer.

I don't get this, Blogspot is not that hard. We're commenting to the SAME POST for over a week.
It is making me grumpy. (Although, admittedly, not as grumpy as not being able to post at all.)
So I'm creating Seder in Exile for people who want individual posts for the shows.
Let's see how this works.
so 1135 Comments and this thread is still ticking along just fine.
thats because all it has to do is reload the comments and not all the bells and whistles every post.
Sam you out here?
