Tuesday: The Revolucion Begins
We're counting down the final days of the Sam Seder Show as you know it, and today we're heating up the studio just a bit. The forecast calls for romance, as Sam welcomes his wife Nicole Cattell, who will talk about her new documentary, REVOLUCION: Five Visions, which airs tonight on PBS. Plus we'll have two attorneys-turned-bloggers, Christy Hardin-Smith from Firedog Lake, and Glenn Greenwald from Unclaimed Territory. So open up a nice bottle of champagne, put on something a little more comfortable, and get ready for the Sam Seder Show.

Tom Oliphant - has there ever been a bigger suckup? Probably. But he takes the cake - and is symbolic of the Imus problem. And if you have not yet read the David Carr articles re Imus you should.
ITA with James Wolcott. He is a disgrace to dweeby liberals everywhere, Tom Oliphant that is:
-
"I'm Sticking with You, 'Cause I'm Made out of Glue
Sweet chocolate Jesus, is there a bigger suckup than Tom Oliphant?
He's a disgrace to dweeby liberals everywhere. I heard him this morning on Imus, preening his little feathers (to quote Norman Mailer about Dick Cavett) as he pledged eternal loyalty and managed to prostrate himself even as he was posturing as a standup guy." ... read on

That's right. Sam didn't have the background to succeed in radio, he was just an entertainer, and that's not the kind of talent you need to entertain.
You get into radio the way Lionel did - by having nothing better to do than to call in to shows repeatedly until they give you your own.
Like Dewey, for example. Dewey could be the next Lionel.
need quote marks bridge.
took me two reads to figger out you were'nt describing Tom Oliphant as a suck up.
Just wanted to say
Kudos to Keith Olbermann :)
He didn't put Imus on his worst person list as he should have IMHO -
BUT yesterday he said on his show that he has not been on the Imus show since 1998 (I think that is the year he mentioned) because he didn't like the remarks Imus is making about certain people. And you all know who they are. BIG DEMS. Most of all Gore, the Clintons, Jimmy Carter.
Didn't seem to bother liberal dweebs like Oliphant and Rich, Begala et al - and all the Imus fans like Dodd, Ford, Lieberman (Gore's 2000 running mate if you can believe it), Biden, Kerry who held the Imus guest record in visits in 04. And yes, Edwards, Dean and Obama have visited, too. Hypocrites, the whole lot of them.
Again. Kudos to Keith Olbermann :)
I'd Just Like To Say Hello To My Uncle!
sorry, Jim
sometimes things are v. confusing on the net to me too - Its OliphantOliphantOliphant and I mentioned it in the first two sentences to make sure its Oliphant
the Wolcott quote starts at the quotation marks and everything becomes clear as a bell in his blog post -
thanks for reading my precious words ;-)
Like Dewey, for example. Dewey could be the next Lionel.

.Goodby Air America for me!!!
You have made my days!!!
Dude, you're the best!
i'm playing phone tag right now with a supplier.
can tap my foot or typewriter keys, my choice.
Here's what I just wrote to Air America management: I'm absolutely stunned. I've been a loyal listener from day one. I've been a loyal monthly premium member from the first week it was offered. I've tried to support Air America every way I can. But of the many bad decisions Air America has made, getting rid of Sam Seder's daily show is the one that will probably make me cancel my premium subscription. When you look back at how utterly amateurish a lot of your first year of programming was, it's pretty clear that Sam has been your only person on the air who had a sense of what it was going to take to do the kind of radio we were promised – entertaining, informative and professional – and then did the work to actually develop a show that finally delivered what was promised. None of your other shows come close - Rachel's pretty good, Randi's great but doesn't have the variety I enjoy with Sam, and your nighttime lineup is really dismal. You'd think if you wanted to make a change, you'd get rid of one or two of your really weak shows and then jockey the lineup around. You'd think that new management wouldn't make mistakes as bad as getting rid of Morning Sedition and Mike Malloy and killing off Marc Maron's show just as it was beginning to show some promise - but now you've made an even worse decision. Since I listen (or maybe listened) to the podcasts, I don't much care what time you have Sam's show on, I'd just like to hear him every day -or should I just assume that Air America, even with new management, still doesn't have what it takes to develop and maintain great radio shows and my $10/month will probably be spent better elsewhere? Sam's become a really good broadcaster and he either deserves better treatment from Air America or should find a new radio home for himself and for his listeners who still want what Air America promised.
Lionel?!?! You've got to be f---ing out of your minds.
"always, they're worth reading for many reasons."
I bet. LOL
Things are pretty intense on the net these days - so I am wishing for some fun times in future. Haven't written a haiku for so long. Remember all the haikus we wrote on election day 04? Loved it.
;-)
Our response to Mark Green's lastest newsletter:
Dear Friend (?),
Take your whole DLC package and stuff it! New Air America? Like the New Democrats? -- with Slick Willie's NAFTA, CAFTA and WTO? And let's not forget Welfare "Reform". Lionel, huh... And Sam Seder tucked away out of sight on Sunday? What a joke! And don't think we've forgotten your Rove-like campaign against Freddy Ferrer. Just keep your right hand on your Crain's Mark, while you swear to purge the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth from the airwaves.
Best,

Roots of suicide terrorism
Nationalism, and not religious fundamentalism, drives suicide bombers, as this book shows with the help of detailed research.
...
However, one of the world's foremost authorities on the subject holds that "the taproot of suicide terrorism is nationalism" and "at bottom suicide terrorism is a strategy for national liberation from foreign occupation by a democratic state". Therefore, "the West's strategy for the war on terrorism is fundamentally flawed. Right now, our strategy for this war presumes that suicide terrorism is mainly a product of an evil ideology called Islamic fundamentalism and that this ideology will produce campaigns of suicide terrorism wherever it exists and regardless of our military policies. This presumption is wrong and is leading toward foreign policies that are making our situation worse."

Both: Boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, hah! Boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, boo-boo yah, hah!
Billy Ray Valentine: Oh, memories!
I cant believe Lionel Joesph from Trading Places is taking Sam's spot. That sucks! Still he was the Director of Cultural Activities at the Haile Selassie Pavilion...that's gotta mean something.

Sam,
When I first read about the moving of your show to Sunday, the only word that could describe me was despondent. I was shocked that AAR was not just moving you to a different time, but also cutting your air time dramatically in order to lessen the amount of "substance" you were producing over the airways.
However, I think this may end up being a blessing in disguise as more opportunities lay ahead for you and your style of radio talk. I hope you take advantage of this opportunity and continue to mature into the mouthpiece you are becoming. For you to do this, I think you must consider the biggest strength of the Majority Report and the Sam Seder Show: their use of the internet and the blogosphere.
When I began listening to the Majority Report, I knew little about blogs. After just a week, I was reading DailyKos, LiberalOasis, Atrios, etc. on a daily basis. You should use this new format of media to continue your show as a podcast/blog combo.
I assume many of your listeners are like me, they cannot commit to a specific time to listen to your show, we are part of the TiVo culture. We need the flexibility to use podcasts to listen to you, and many of your most important callers were not able to transition to the new morning time of the Seder Show. As an independent podcast, your show can take advantage of internet freedom.
I am ignorant of production costs for your show and how much time it takes to prepare the 1:50 of content, but the cost of distributing your show as a podcast on the blogs you have associated with would be almost nothing. If you were to simply post a podcast to Podcast Alley, I guarantee you would be in their Top 10 from day 1.
Adjusting to a streaming, blog based show where only callers need to be present during taping would be interesting, but I bet you could maintain your famous blogger callers, many of your favorite listener callers, and more senate/celebrity callers than you would expect. You could expand your listener base especially if you mention the idea of continuing a podcast over your final few days.
Take advantage of the technology and freedom of the internet! Make a podcast that is at least half an hour long, shorter ones are annoying.
Maintain the format of your show, it works for you.
Additionally, you could charge a menial fee for each podcast, $0.25 per day is the cost of an AAR premium subscription, get ad revenues, sell kitschy crap. Look at Jack Clarks Blast the Right podcasting at therationalradical.org , he does a great job and you could do even better.
Also, do get the blog in better shape, that may be the most important thing you do.
Good Luck, and thanks for all you've done.

PS, I have recently come into some money when my uncle died in Scotland last year. Unfortunately his money is being held up due to international banking rules. If you could help me shuttle money through your bank account, I could give you a cut... ;)
Mark, et al,
If replacing Sam Seder with Lionel represents your programming direction for AA2, I'll be spending a lot more time streaming CSPAN, Pacifica, Nova-M, and MLB archived games. Awful, awful move.
What does Air America 2.0 mean?
Software crashes? Overheating? Better graphics? (On the radio?!)
No! You drop one of your most popular hosts.
Sam Seder will be missed, immensely.
He is by far the best host AAR has ever had. I cannot justify renewing my subscription to AAR premium without a daily dose of Sam Seder. Hundreds of my friends on the internet feel the same way. I'm certain there will be at least an unofficial boycott of the new Lionel (who?) show by most of the listeners of Sam's show. We cannot help but feel the cutbacks to Sam Seder's schedule will result in huge losses to Air America, both in respect and profits. Our local affiliate KPOJ, recently played Sam's show regularly twice a day! You folks really need to think this move through. Seder was the only reason AAR was still here for you to rescue. Ask Mike Malloy. There are other venues for Sam's show to be heard. These kind of actions only result in the trash talking of Air America by its competitors and former employees, usually on its own airwaves! (Ed Shultz is a regular, Janeane Garofalo and Marc Maron have chimed in many times, too.)
Sam Seder's professionalism on the subject only proves what an enormous loss to the liberal radio world Sam's move will be.

good advice, a good alternative
and funny to boot!
only thing is Sam don't read the blog anymore.
try emailing him.
a bridge less traveled
but all the more pleasant so,

i want to use a local supplier but they have a shit 'get back to you system'
they get another coffee cup of time and then i'm moving on.
wonder what time "bed time" will be in the concentration camps?
Quote from Eric Alterman's blog today:
"On my way out the door, I ran into Sam Seder and learned that Mark Green had dumped his daily show on Air America and moved him to just Sundays. Not that anyone cares what I think, but to me, that's crazy stuff. Sam is perhaps Air America's greatest discovery and one of the smartest radio hosts I've ever heard. Maybe "smart" is his problem. He is being replaced by someone named "Lionel" who apparently has no last name."

A.A.R. is F.U.B.A.R.
I hope we can change this thing. Sam needs a bigger audience. He has such great subtle wit. He doesn't hit you over the head with it. He invites you to play along....
What does AAR think of its listeners? We're the punchline...?
...or the punching bag?
What a joke.
Wow Sam your wife is a dynamic woman. It looks like Seder lucked out BIG TIME.
Okay, so who's LEFT on Air America that was there back in 2004, pounding their shoe on the table saying "We will bury you" to me?
LOL!!!!
I've got some advice for Sam
too -
oops, must brush cat now!
i can see that the AARgh! factor is extremely high today.
International Campaign in Defense of Autonomous Indigenous and Peasant Lands and Territories of Chiapas, Mexico, and the World
Within the framework of their departure for the Second Phase of the Other Campaign, and facing a new offensive against the Zapatista Base Communities, by paramilitary groups, by agrarian institutions, by the Mexican army and by public security institutions, the Sixth Commission, through its Comandanta Kelly, called on all of us to join and to begin the Global Campaign for the Defense of Autonomous Indigenous and Peasant Lands and Territories, in Chiapas, Mexico and the World.
In the framework of the Global Campaign for the Defense of Autonomous Indigenous and Peasant Lands and Territories, in Chiapas, Mexico and the World. and facing the threat of eviction of Zapatista communities from their land and territories, several member organizations of the Other Campaign -- as first action within this Global Campaign --, are inviting all willing organizations and peoples of this planet, members or not of the Other Campaign, to sign with us a document which will be submitted to the agrarian institutions in Mexico. This month of April the Mexican agrarian authorities will dictate a sentence in the land trials against Zapatista Base Communities; we feel that it is critical and urgent that you join efforts with us in this initiative.
...
The undersigned of this document, will publicize those responsible. The actions, omissions and decisions of the Agrarian authorities, as part of a counter-insurgency strategy, are having serious social consequences in a major escalation of State-sponsored violence toward the civilian population, particularly indigenous peoples, of Chiapas.
Attentively,

I'll miss you--I looked forward to you daily. Looking at the website for that other guy--it's scary!!!! The Greens are ruining AAR! Maybe you could look into Sirius left?
I've been listening to you and AAR since the beginning! The only really good moves the station has made was putting you in daytime and Rachel Maddow in early evening. Oops, shouldn't have said that. Bet she'll be the next to go!

I can't believe. I just can't believe it! The people running Air America must either be world-class idiots with absolutely no judgement or taste--or too beholden to the corporate/DLC/Aipac wing of the party (probably a combination of the two).
What a sad day! Sam is one of the very best voices on the radio, right up there with Hartmann and Malloy (and Ring of Fire). And he has really been coming into his own the last few months, too. Sam has this unique, playful wit and he's amazing at broad, synthetic thinking--tying the big picture together. The fact that AAR is dumping Sam Seder constitutes exhibit A in how the corporatists and interventionists that hide behind the upper echelons of the Democratic party will do anything they can to subvert or snuff out AUTHENTIC liberal progressives like Sam.
Even Thom Hartmann (another genuine progressive god love him) seems slightly more tempered and cautious since he took over Al's seat compared to how he was when he
was merely syndicated by Air America and broadcasting a la carte from KPOJ in Portland.
I beseech you Sam, you can't stop! Too many people love you and depend on you every day. Please join Mike Malloy over at NovaM radio so we can still hear you daily, even if it's via streaming. We'll become a nation of streamers

The Lionel Show won't be live!!!!!????? Is that true?
On the website it says the Lionel show is on 7 to 10 PM MT. So I get to listen to a re-broadcast in the morning? Huh?
Let's See Morning Sedition, Unfiltered, Al Franken, Majority Report/Sam Seder, Mike Malloy... Why should I listen to Air America?
Actually, I still will listen, but perhaps not as much.
sheesh!
Randi still going on about Imus...
what? we got "talking points"?
hate giving him any attention
this like the troll issue.
oops! looks like peeps

Jim,
its a bubble problem
more often than not I tend to get a tiny bubble either at the top or bottom of the liquid. I have a hard time making it disappear even when pushing needle back in and out or knocking on needle ... tried all kinds of way to draw the insulin.
http://mediamatters.org/altercation/200704100012

this is a bubble in the syringe you're talking about?
draw the fluid slightly over the mark and with the needle pointing straight up get the bubble on top and squirt it out.
snapping the hypo with your finger usually gets it to move.
if not visit the vet and get instruction, theres a knack to it eh?
whenever giving injections, inject slowly, it reduces muscle bruising quite a bit.
that any help?
yeah I'm really hoping Sam will go to Nova M. I just found them a few weeks ago and I'm already a fan of their lineup. I think he will, though. A person can only stay pushed into a corner for so long before his pride/morals get the better of him. Good luck, Sam.

* EXCLUSIVEŠTwo Explosive Books Tell the Inside Story of the Forged Iraq-Niger Docs That Helped Build the Case for War *
In his January 2003 State of the Union address, President Bush declared the infamous sixteen words: ³The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.² The claim was central to the administration¹s claims that Saddam Hussein was seeking weapons of mass destruction and served as a basis for launching the Iraq invasion less than two months later. Bush¹s declaration was based on an intelligence document that provided evidence about Iraq¹s purchase of uranium from the African country of Niger. But there was one problem: the document was a fake. In a Democracy Now! broadcast exclusive, we speak with the authors of two explosive new books. Carlo Bonini is the Italian reporter who broke the Niger story. His new book is called ³Collusion: International Espionage and the War on Terror.² Peter Eisner is a veteran foreign correspondent and is currently an editor at the Washington Post. His new book is ³The Italian Letter: How the Bush Administration Used a Fake Letter to Build the Case for War in Iraq.²

yes in the syringe once I've drawn the liquid
"draw the fluid slightly over the mark and with the needle pointing straight up get the bubble on top and squirt it out."
You know I used to push the needle back into the bottle to get rid of the bubble -
so I am to take the needle out and squirt out the bubble in the air? Have to be pretty precise on the mark then, right? Or do you sometimes add more insulin from the bottle?
But good idea, Jim. Makes sense.
Question:
What do you do with the bottom bubble? If snapping doesn't do it which it never does for me.
its a knack for sure - we are learning - we are still in process of finding the right dose, too - could take months doc said
I usually try to give the injection fast before the cat moves away esp. when she has eating problems like now - but I'll remember the muscle bruising advice - thank you
Has anyone gotten any response from AAR? I've been emailing every contact and calling that stupid phone/vm since Friday with no response. Although I too got that blank page which I guess is their autoresponse that they received my emails.
I said when Sam goes I go and that I was cancelling my premium subscription. I also em'd them today now that "Lionel" has been announced...great another right winger in NY, like Armstrong isn't enough?! Green et al's definition of liberal and progressive are laughable.
I even left my phone number etc but so far nothing. You would think that since I want to cancel my subscription someone would have to get back to me right? This is soo disappointing. :(

Evening all. I missed Bobby Kennedy.
I'll have to listen to the third hour over again.
Hi Shell, Jim, Brdige, and anyone else I missed.
whoo!
just had a good workout loading some stuff out.
ya bridge a lil over is fine and then the "squirt out" to the mark in the air. should be just a tiny bit and you can catch it in a paper towel if you position the towel right.
bottom bubble? well if you have the protective cap over the needle you can try to whip the syringe so the fluid ends up in the right place...
you know centrifugal force?
i'd try tying a foot or so of string to the needle end and whir it in circle for a bit. make sure it's the kind with a twist lock needle cover before trying that one...
Hi ToniD.
waiting for paint to dry.
That sounds like fun Jim :)

Rep. Cantor Launches Partisan Smear Campaign Against Pelosi For Syria Visit
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), the chief deputy minority whip in the House, has launched a partisan smear campaign against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for visiting Syria. He writes in the National Review:
The Speaker and many of her Democratic allies have become so drunk with grandiose visions of deposing Bush that they break bread with terrorists and enemies of the United States. The Speaker’s words and actions carry consequences for U.S. policy, and they certainly did our allies no favors last week. Instead of standing united with the president and Congress against the Syrian menace, Mrs. Pelosi chose to needlessly divide us.
Nowhere in his 700-word diatribe does Cantor mention the fact that five Republicans “broke bread” with Assad last week: Reps. Frank Wolf, Joseph Pitts, Robert Aderholt, David Hobson, and Darrell Issa.
Meanwhile, on his blog, Cantor is conducting a campaign to “Stop Pelosi.” He writes that Congress has “remained silent on Pelosi’s misrepresentation of Israel’s position. They have remained silent on her assistance to Syrian propaganda efforts.”

bare in mind that i get away with stuff like that becuse i fidget with a tremendous amount of 'stuff'.
be careful! take precautions like wearing eye glasses of some sort.
Bush invites Congress to White House for non-negotiations. AP reports, “President Bush will invite Democrats to the White House to discuss their standoff over a war-funding bill, but he will not budge from his opposition to troop-withdrawal deadlines in Iraq.” When a reporter asked White House spokeswoman Dana Perino why lawmakers should attend the meeting if Bush won’t negotiate, Perino replied, “Maybe they need to hear again from the president about why he thinks it is foolish to set arbitrary timetables for withdrawal.”
UPDATE: Statement from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV):
The President is demanding that we renew his blank check for a war without end. Despite the fact that the President persists in trying to score political points at the expense of our troops, congressional Democrats have repeatedly reached out in the spirit of cooperation. We renew our request to work with him to produce a bipartisan bill that provides our troops and our veterans with every penny they need, but in turn, demands accountability.

Think Progress?
lemme take a look.
Breaking: Missing Justice Dept. documents subpoenaed. MSNBC reports that the House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed the Justice Department for a series of additional documents, revealed last week by The American Spectator, that have not been turned over to Congress.
UPDATE: Several senators sent a letter yesterday to Alberto Gonzales requesting these documents:
Justice Department officials have previously said they turned over all relevant materials, but held back sensitive personnel information about most prosecutors other than those who were removed last year.
Among the missing documents the senators mentioned was a chart cited in a Feb. 12, 2007, e-mail message from Monica Goodling, a former aide to Mr. Gonzales, to other department officials.
The senators suggested that other documents had been withheld, like biographies of each of the 93 prosecutors in briefing books provided for Mr. Gonzales in December in preparation for a meeting of United States attorneys. The meeting was held to start an initiative against child exploitation.
UPDATE II: You can read the full subpoena HERE. Christy Hardin Smith explains exactly what House Judiciary Committee is requesting.
Pelosi and Reid respond to President Bush’s request for a non-negotiation: “The President is demanding that we renew his blank check for a war without end. Despite the fact that the President persists in trying to score political points at the expense of our troops, congressional Democrats have repeatedly reached out in the spirit of cooperation.”
UPDATE: Reid assails Bush during a press conference:
The president is inviting us down to the White House with preconditions. Things are not OK in Iraq. As the Pope said on Easter Sunday, a slaughter is taking place in Iraq. The Pope further said nothing good is coming from Iraq. The president must realize that. He has to deal with Congress. We are an independent branch of this government, and by our Constitution we have equal say that he has. And he’s got to listen to us. Because we are speaking for the American people; he isn’t.

White House Cites ‘Experience From September 11th’ To Justify Staying In Iraq »
In today’s White House press briefing, spokeswoman Dana Perino tried to justify President Bush’s escalation in Iraq by stating, “The terrorists that are seeking a safe haven in Iraq, if we were to leave, would find one, just like they had one in Afghanistan.” When reporter Helen Thomas asked how she knows that statement is true, Perino replied, “Well, based on experience from September 11th, that’s how we know it.” Thomas then quickly said, “September 11th had nothing to do with Iraq.” Watch it:

Lantos: Cheney Would Prefer Pelosi Stay ‘In The Kitchen’ Than Travel Abroad »
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA) just held a briefing on their bipartisan delegation to the Middle East last week.
Lantos, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a Holocaust survivor, was sharply critical of attacks on Pelosi over the trip to Syria. “I do not know whether it was more pathetic or more hypocritical,” he said, noting the various Republicans who also visited Syria last week. “I was appalled at the attempt by the administration to minimize and to mischaracterize the nature of the mission.”
Pelosi addressed Vice President Cheney’s remarks on the Rush Limbaugh show about her trip. “I think he accused me of bad behavior, sounding sort of father figure-ish,” Pelosi said, suggesting that Cheney would rather have her “stay home.” Lantos interjected, “Maybe in the kitchen.” Watch it:

hep.
just sayin whut oop.
hope everythings going good for everyone.
still reeling over the cheney-broken arrow revelation at wayne madsen the other day.
I've become progressively more grouchy in the last three years....
eya A'!
i say joy in self defense is well justified.
I hear ya, Shell. Me too!! Real grumpy.
Hey Ja!!
Jajajaja!
what's up with u and radio?
BOB,
Ive heard richard bandler treated psychosis by cleaning out the body on dialysis.
It's probably not too good for me health-wise....
It could be worse - you could have you could ahve been replaced by Carrot-top .... These AAR guys should be ashamed. Got one of the millions of ideas people are offering you ... I think both Amato and Marshall would benefit from your hard won radio and cam skills. I really think the on air off air stuff makes for two shows in one its so strong as a format. And more broadly speaking Marshall just intorduced video as you know and the lava lamp in the back ground is only amusing for so long. Similarly Crooks and Liars does the best job with video but needs custom video and audio content. Basically I am saying sit down with these guiys and figure something out. Their content is migrating toward each other - maybe you bring a piece which could make something spectacular happen. And if you would like to talk more about it be in touch - email sent also with message title "could have been worse" If not go in peace ...
eya jkirk
good stuff. definitely heading in the right direction.
"Their content is migrating toward each other"
i'm hoping for a huge amount of that type of web evolution.
Very sorry to hear about this, the loss of one of Air America's best shows. The turnover at the network is not helping, and decisions like this annoy listeners, which is also not wise.
sunshine - our sun was born in Maine so eya back to you - unless thatsatypo and whats your take on the evolutionary path here
heyp.
wnyradio should kick off on apr 28th with a live show from this cool bookstore, couple of bands and some open mic political stuff hopefully. should go out live, but we're still workin out the kinky's.
been working @ the buffalo library, pretty nice easy stuff,
missin journalism tho.
freakin A.A.R.
send me a show jim!
you could do a weekly.
we need lots of programming.
not you toni,
I'm stealing all your stories for my show.
pace.
lo all!
not here for awhile but been following the latest aar psychotic break.
-----
moving sam to the afternoon would have made sense perhaps. ---
then bringing in lionel against steph might make sense -- somewhat similar listeners with different demographics...
-----
but dropping sam's show and listeners is stupid. most would follow him to another time slot. if the greens were really machiavelian, they'd put him up against mike malloy.
if i was rich liberal corporate asshole, that's what i'd do.

hey jim, youve been doing insulin too long to remember what you learned to do without thinking.
BRIDGE:
the first thing you do when you pull the syringe out of the ten pack is pull off the cap on the pusher end. then you push the syringe all the way to the end (it comes with a small space but i think that's for manufacturing/storage life reasons).
then get the insulin out of the fridge. take the cap off the needle. then gently shake the insulin, turn the bottle upside down & insert the needle thru the rubber seal and draw out (while bottle remains upside down. squirt out extra.
i use 3/10 cc for my cat too & i've found the short needle works best for my skinny cat. i then pull up a fold of skin and shoot it straight down. cat's have very loose skin. when i've pulled up skin and gone in sideways, sometimes it squirts out the other side of the vold. i always feel afterward to make sure there's no wet spot. (gawd i know i'm old when "wet spot" means a missed dose of insulin for my geriatric cat...
---
anyway, i think maybe you're not pushing the extra air out of the syringe before drawing in the insulin...or maybe not keeping the insulin bottle upside down. hope this helps.

Check out your new AAR host, Lionel. From drinking liberally.org, Oakland CA on Dec 22, 2006,
Tekstone wrote
"As I was listening to the radio last night, the Lionel Show on KQKE to be precise, I was irked by something the host, Lionel, was saying to a caller. He was insistent that he hated being labeled and was giving the caller all kinds of grief for calling himself a "Progressive". The caller argued back that Lionel himself has referred to himself as a "Progressive" - correctly or not I do not know - and Lionel denied this, claiming that he believed that when describing one's beliefs, one should lay them out and avoid any kind of labeling - or rather any kind of 'subset' labeling. In other words, Lionel believes it is okay to say you are a Democrat, but not a Progressive Democrat. Beyond that first level of identification, he would prefer everyone spell out their beliefs one-by-one rather than adding another layer of categorization.
I take issue with this. When you have a party such as the Democratic Party that is a self-described "big tent" party with your Blue Dog Democrats and New Democrats, it is a pretty fucking important and powerful thing to be able to identify with an alternative to these right-wing factions of the so-called "big tent" party. I don't know of any official congressional coalition of "progressive" Democrats.
In fact, there is NO official representation of the Liberal cause in this country except for the marginalized Green Party. The Democratic Party is centrist at times left-of-center at times but mostly right-of-center. The Republican Party is just left-of-Nazi. I think that it is absurd to have a population of citizenry in a so-called 'democracy' with largely liberal social values yet not have a viable political party that represents those values.
That is one of the sickest, saddest, most dysfunctional things about this country of ours. But let's not get going down that road...
So when you have a talk-show host that jumps all over a caller for calling himself a "Progressive Democrat" in this kind of stifling, right-wing-dominant political environment, I have to take issue with that. To Lionel, I say shut your fucking piehole, asshole!! I am a Progressive and proud of it. What's that you say? You don't know what that means? Here is some help for you, you helium-voiced little runt:..."

Here's the new post:

When a Progressive Radio Network fires their progressive radio hosts, I guess they are no longer a progressive radio network. Now are they???
You know what..???
This Lionel may work out after all...
You know I thought I would be done with AAR if Sam got the boot..
But this Lionel might be OK..!!!

Van Den Huevel on Colbert. Heh!
Katrina! Heh!
The Nation editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel sparred with The Colbert Report's Stephen Colbert Monday night and made a case for withdrawing from Iraq, indicating that Americans serving in the country "are perceived as occupiers in a civil war."
Colbert rejected the idea of pulling out of the war, indicating that only by pulling out would the U.S. lose the war. "It's like the stock market," said Colbert. "You don't lose any money until you sell your stocks. That's why I'm still holding onto my Pets.com stock."
Vanden Heuvel went on to defend the magazine's early stance against the war. "The Nation magazine opposed this war from the outset because we understood what a disaster it would be," said vanden Heuvel. "We never lost our head while too much of the media gave head."
Watch it here
Now I like Sam...
He if my Favorite Liberal...
But if he is gonna get the AXE anyway...
Why not replace him with someone with which I can approve..????

In my pile of art supplies I found a 75 page booklet from 1885, titled "Recent American Socialism" By one Richard T. Ely, Ph.D. . It's part of a series of Historical and Political studies from Johns Hopkins University. When I get a chance I'll post some choice selections. You're going to get a kick out of it.

"We have no way of knowing if there ever was a historical Jesus," says Copenhagen archaeologist Thomas L. Thompson in discussion with Arno Widmann. "But we do know: the Gospels are not in the least interested in such a Jesus. All we know about Jesus comes from allegories and fictional stories that are firmly rooted in the ancient literary traditions of Asia Minor ... We haven't the first idea who Jesus was, if he did in fact live in the first century AD outside of stories that were told about him, that is. All we have are these stories, and all of them are considerably older than the first century."
How can this be? Next you're going to tell me there's no Easter bunny, either.

6-Year-Olds Under Arrest
By BOB HERBERT
Avon Park, Fla.
When 6-year-old Desre’e Watson threw a tantrum in her kindergarten class a couple of weeks ago she could not have known that the full force of the law would be brought down on her and that she would be carted off by the police as a felon.
But that’s what happened in this small, backward city in central
Florida. According to the authorities, there were no other options.
"The student became violent," said Frank Mercurio, the no-nonsense chief of the Avon Park olice. "She was yelling, screaming — just being
uncontrollable. Defiant."
"But she was 6," I said.
The chief’s reply came faster than a speeding bullet: "Do you think this is the first 6-year-old we’ve arrested?"
The child’s tantrum occurred on the morning of March 28 at the Avon
Elementary School. According to the police report, "Watson was upset and crying and wailing and would not leave the classroom to let them study, causing a disruption of the normal class activities."
After a few minutes, Desre’e was, in fact, taken to another room. She
was "isolated," the chief said. But she would not calm down. She flailed away at the teachers who tried to control her. She pulled one woman’s
hair. She was kicking.
I asked the chief if anyone had been hurt. "Yes," he said. At least one woman reported "some redness."
After 20 minutes of this "uncontrollable" behavior, the police were called in. At the sight of the two officers, Chief Mercurio said, Desre’e "tried to take flight."
She went under a table. One of the police officers went after her. Each time the officer tried to grab her to drag her out, Desre’e would pull her legs away, the chief said.
Ultimately the child was no match for Avon Park’s finest. The cops
pulled her from under the table and handcuffed her. The officers were not fooling around. In the eyes of the cops the 6-year-old was a criminal, and in Avon Park she would be treated like any other felon.
There was a problem, though. The handcuffs were not manufactured with kindergarten kids in mind. The chief explained: "You can’t handcuff them on their wrists because their wrists are too small, so you have to handcuff them up by their biceps."
As I sat listening to Chief Mercurio in a spotless, air-conditioned conference room at the Avon Park police headquarters, I had the feeling that I had somehow stumbled into the middle of a skit on "Saturday Night Live." The chief seemed like the most reasonable of men, but what was coming out of his mouth was madness.

Afghanistan: The Other War
Apr. 10, 2007 at 9pm
Inside a secret underground bunker in Kabul, NATO soldiers monitor daily attacks from the Taliban, which has re-emerged as a major threat to Afghanistan's weak national government. FRONTLINE/World's Sam Kiley confronts the reality of the West's struggling campaign, with exclusive access to the NATO command in Afghanistan and provocative reporting from the front lines in the run up to a major offensive the Taliban has promised this spring.

Congradulations to Mark Green for continuing in the tradition of all AAR bigwigs and showing up and doing a bunch of stupid things right out of the gate. You lose Sam on weekdays and you piss Maron off to the point where he won't even appear as a guest to promote his own stuff on your network. I still miss Liz Winstead and the original Unfiltered, Marc Maron and Morning Sedition, Sam Seder's Majority Report, Al Franken, Mike Malloy, Marc Maron (again), and now the Sam Seder show. Replacing Sam with Lionel = replacing Unfiltered with Springer.
sunshine - right on! all the rest of you all ... been listening for 3 years and never blogged - I missed a lot - peace to all of you - See you around -
Hey - Has anyone started a campaign with a petition? Or better yet - We should start a campaign to Abrams @ MSNBC - Dump Bow tie boy and put Sam in. He would be excellent....
I was also thinking about Center for American Progress - maybe start a campaign to them to recruit Sam for their radio voice. They had started a progressive radio contest...

i did not know that!
makes sense...
Let’s meet radio personality, “Don Imus.”
Don Imus and his brother Fred both claim to have had parents, a mother and a father. I have never seen them. Have you? Parental absence coupled to the Imus brothers’ pathological behavior fetishes, have led to a thesis that both spawned spontaneously in dust clots accumulated behind the laundromat dryers where Don would spend many of his formative years.
As nearly as the date can be fixed, Don’s birth – however it occurred – took place in the late 18-hundreds making him a contemporary of such noted Americans as Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, Chester A. Arthur and Grover Cleveland…all U.S. Presidents.
Don spent the normal twelve years in public school and emerged with no formal education…a product of automatic social promotion. His secondary school experience was limited to carrying a cracked, faded rubber in his wallet and binding a female classmate to a tree with electrician’s tape. He graduated with no honors and no skills.

It turned you it was you who failed the test..
All the other political wings supported their radio hosts..
Only far left dropped the ball..
It makes perfect sense when viewed from that perspective...

AAR is going to limit it's focus to people with money..!!!

it totally ruined the blog.
i think Sam has settled for the sunday seder show.

in memory of the MRR show i'm thinking about hiring 30 New York Wino's to pee in their cars ventilator slots instead.
Who knows, maybe the Lionel will strike just the right balance of patriotism and progressive radio to make a profit..

They also had to kill their quota of small animals and eat them raw in order to . Soon, the inventive Imus discovered he could roast the animals over a campfire. King and Imus began a discreet relationship that began with a single sleeping bag.

With a week to take notes and prepare, he should put on a good show..
And Sam can have another job..
