[JanMichael]

1. Kick!!!!

Kick neo-con asses.

[nostamj]

2. oh, AS IF we're going to turn off SCHIAVOMANIA

to listen to a 'talk show'..........

yeah right. some people say that Harry Reid is going to tongue kiss Tom Delay as they cram manna into TS's mouth

/ EXTREME SARCASM off

[Dudley_DUright]

3. As a FL resident, I have had quite enough of Shiavomania

years ago, thank you. This situation has long past slid from tragedy into farce.

[krystine]

5. I am believing that the entire state of Florida is a distraction.

Not only is TS a distraction, the state of Fla is. Yesterday W. wheeled out Mama Bush saying that SS is safe for senior citizens. The only question being that that why would she need social security? I notices she has not pawned her pearls like Jr. will have all of us doing if he has his say. This is all a distraction for his budget and Iraq and oil prices. Guy, I hope you give TS and SS a cursory treatment and talk about the real issues.

[nostamj]

4. and now.... a tribute (in song!) to the lovable TOM DELAY!

TOM DELAY
(To the tune of "Tom Dooley" with the usual apologies!)

YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, TOM DELAY
YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT AND LIES
YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, TOM DELAY
BUG BOY DESERVES TO FRY.

TOMMY'S UNFAZED BY ETHICS
HE'S ABOVE ALL THAT
WE'LL JUST RE-WRITE THOSE ETHICS
AND HE'S A SWEET POLECAT

YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, TOM DELAY
YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT AND SLEAZE
YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, TOM DELAY
DELAY, JUST SHUT UP, PLEASE!

YOU CANNOT DENY IT
HEARD YOU ON TV
PROVED YOU WERE QUITE UNFIT
THE PRINCE OF LUNACY

YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, TOM DELAY
YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, YOU STINK!
YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, TOM DELAY
AND WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK?!

ON SCHIAVO'S CORPSE YOU WILL
FEED ON LIKE A ROACH
BUT THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA
KNOWS YOU'RE BEYOND REPROACH

YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, TOM DELAY
YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT AND LIES
YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT, TOM DELAY
BUG BOY DESERVES TO FRY.

[krystine]

6. Great Song.

Too bad I can not sing a single lick. Do you think we can get Guy to sing the song on air?

[nostamj]

7. well, the chorus would get him fined, big time.

but, welcome to DU :hi: and the Guy James Show!

from... "The New York Bureau"

[krystine]

8. Thanks.

Thanks for the greeting. I found where the thread was last week. I have been listening to Guy James since last Spring

[Dudley_DUright]

9. Billmon at the Whiskey Bar Blog just posted a fake news story

(and who can tell the difference anymore anyway?) titled "Brain Dead"

Brain Dead

Washington D.C. (AP) (Dateline April 1) -- In the largest legal action of its kind to date, over 500 doctors in the Washington D.C. area have asked a federal court for permission to withdraw food, water and other forms of life support from their patients -- the entire membership of the House and Senate Republican caucuses.

In their brief, the doctors contend their patients have lapsed into a "persistent vegetative state," and have shown "absolutely no signs of cognitive brain function" for the past six years. All hopes for recovery are gone, they add.

10. I will be able to listen tonight!!!

this time change makes me forget to tune in

[proud patriot]

11. Hi everyone

Happy Saturday

[nostamj]

12. whoa! off the front page WHILE

the show is on??? yikes!

[Dudley_DUright]

15. My fault

I had a post about John cued up, and I got so entranced listening to him that I forgot to hit the "post message" button. ;-)

[Swamp Rat]

23. If you're talking about the DU homepage, I'm wondering the same thing.

There should be a link to the stream near the top of the page. :shrug:

[nostamj]

24. i didn't notice that...

i was referring to falling off GD's page one. but, it certainly SHOULD be there... :shrug:

[Dudley_DUright]

13. I would love to have taken a civics course in high school

from John. He actually knows what is in the US constitution.

[StephanieRocks]

14. radio

Check out WBAP in Dallas/Ft Worth for more info

[mandyky]

16. Did the web stream go out?

I just lost it - silence,,,

[nostamj]

17. nope! continuing here

do a re-connect.

[mandyky]

18. OK, back!

LOL

[nostamj]

19. GUY! do you know that we can hear your producer

occasionally during the News breaks? we just heard "she doesn't sound like a friendly caller" but usually, it's something like "one minute"

[FreedomAngel82]

41. Yeah

I always thought that was kinda strange. I love the little intro music! Especially the Kennedy part! :loveya: That's a great mix!

[Swamp Rat]

20. Yaay! I made it home in time for the Guy James Show!

:)

Judges writing new laws... this lady is an idiot.

[Dudley_DUright]

22. Fauxnewsbot

I get so tired of listening to these mindless talking points. On the otherhand, Julio makes an excellent analogy with the Elian Gozalez case.

[Judi Lynn]

21. Another yay. Just flew in, too. Tired arms.

Glad to hear Julio from Florida again.

[krystine]

25. Shiavo

Part of the reason that the right is interested in Teri Shiavo is that they feel they can use her to challenge Roe V. Wade. That is one of the reasons that I heard, but I have not heard a legal explanation as to how this would happen. The Supreme Court will not look at her case.

[Judi Lynn]

28. Thanks for the information. That's diabolical, isn't it?

I can't quite see the angle, yet, either, but you can be sure they'll stretch it, somehow, to include embryos.

Welcome to D.U., krystine!

[krystine]

29. Thanks

Thanks for the welcome. I hear this angle on Air America. I wish I could remember who said it. Of course, I do not believe that the right will ever seriously challenge Roe V. Wade. That is the main issue that keeps those on the religious right in the Republican Party.

[FreedomAngel82]

44. I never thought about that

I hope they don't! This will get the pro-lifers going after Roe V. Wade. I'm nervous about that!! :scared: And if Bush gets those judges.....

[Dudley_DUright]

26. Idiotic John McDougal quote from a local FL news story

Terri Schiavo can breathe on her own, but needs food and water to survive. John McDougal argues a baby needs food and water and we don't let them die.

"This is not an issue about letting someone die. This is an issue about killing someone," said McDougal, a right to life advocate.

http://www.abc-7.com/articles/readnews.asp?articleid=2662&z=2&p=

Brilliant analogy there McDougal. :eyes:

[nostamj]

27. babies who can neither suck nor swallow

get tubed.

[FreedomAngel82]

46. That quote is kinda strange

Strange indeed. :shrug: It isn't about keeping someone a live? Huh?

[Dudley_DUright]

30. Looks like Dean is true to his word about visiting the grass roots

and listening to our concerns, even into the very "heart of darkness". :scared:

[krystine]

31. National Broadcast Guy James

Has Guy ever talked to Air America about taking his show? He would fit in on Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

[napi21]

43. I don't know if he's talked to AAR, but I hate this Say night thing!

I keep forgetting to listen!!! I have to pick him up on the net, and I was a faithful listener and contributor when he was on in the afternoon. I must write myself a note as a reminder!!!

I really love his show!!!

[nostamj]

49. AAR basically snubbed him.

and they are CRAZY. his original programming on the weekend would be HUGELY successful in place of the re-runs.

[FreedomAngel82]

52. Aww

Why did AAR snub him? I love his show! I never miss it and if I do I listen to the archives on WRS.

[krystine]

56. Guy could make it on AAR

I was not sure if AAR would make it through this first year. Only Laura Flanders and Randi Rhodes sounded like they knew what they were doing at first. Every one there has improved greatly. The only disappointment is that they got rid of Lizz Winstead on Unfiltered. Her and Rachael had great chemistry. I wish they had gotten rid of Chuck D instead. I am sure Guy could do a great show on the week-ends instead of the re-runs.

[napi21]

60. How much more would it cost them to air his show instead of re-runs?

Obviously his salary would be an added expense, but what else? I would love it if Guy was on both Sat and Sun on AAR, heck, I'd like him to be on during the week! But I understand they are still considered a start-up org. and although they seem to be doing very well, they still have to watch expenses.

Does anyone here know anything about how much $$ we could be talking about?

[krystine]

62. Cost to AAR

I do not believe that AAR has turned a profit yet. Salary-wise, Al Franken and Randi Rhodes make $1,000,000 a year while Mike Malloy makes $100,000 a year. So, you could extrapolate what the salary for Guy would be. I have no idea what the production costs would be for Guy though.

[nostamj]

63. no cost

guy makes nothing. it costs him to do the show.

and, all thet would have to is pick the stream

[FreedomAngel82]

47. I would love that

So far the only good shows, to me, on AAR on the weekend is Laura Flanders. I think it'd be good to have him on there!

[Dudley_DUright]

32. Total capitulation by Harry Reid on the Schiavo case

“I am pleased Senator Frist and I were able to pass the bill that protects the life of Terri Schiavo by allowing her parents to go to federal court.

If the House Republicans refuse to pass our bipartisan bill, they bear responsibility for the consequences.”

33. NINE BILLION $$$ MISSING FROM IRAQ AUTHORITY

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=540&e=17&u=/ap/iraq_funds_summary_box

Summary: U.S. Iraq Authority Missing $9B

Sun Jan 30, 4:16 PM ET
By The Associated Press

THE REPORT: The U.S. occupation authority in Iraq was unable to keep track of nearly $9 billion it gave to government ministries lacking financial controls, security, communications and adequate staff, a government audit has found.

TIMEFRAME: U.S. officials relied on Iraqi audit agencies to account for the funds. The offices were not even functioning when the funds were transferred between October 2003 and June 2004, auditors found.

[krystine]

34. Right wing debate Guy

Juan was referring to Randi Rhodes, who Rush does not like her following him in West Palm Beach. As for debating Guy, Hannity has debated both Al Franken and Jeanine Gurafalo. However, Hannity must feel he has control. Further Mike Malloy use to debate Boortz on CNN before he went to Air America. I never saw them, so I do not know what the rules were. I believe it was point/counter-point style. I would love to hear Guy debate either of them in a neutral place.

[FreedomAngel82]

50. On Mike's site

you can go on there in the media section and see a video of Mike on Fox and they didn't let him speak or anything. So he just got up and walked. It's so disgusting how they treated him. Oy. I was so pissed off. I don't see how Colmbs can be on that show. Especially when Ann Coulter is on there.

[krystine]

57. Malloy walks

Mike is real proud of that. He mentions it quit often. Alan Colmbes? I keep forgetting about him. Doesn't he claim to be a liberal?

[Judi Lynn]

35. Great to hear this new caller/Democrat! He has learned quickly

how things operate here. Cool. Robert. n/t

[nostamj]

36. kick

[FreedomAngel82]

37. Hi!

I love your show tonight Mr. James!

[BeachBuckeye]

39. we're going to "kick it up a notch"

Give us a call on this next subject. I KNOW you have strong opinions about it.

Need calls for an interesting show.

[nostamj]

38. hmmm.....

bet this is relevant... White Rose Leaflets

[BeachBuckeye]

40. bet you are correct sir

Thats when it all started isn't it?

[nostamj]

42. well, no. tyranny did not start with Hitler

but, bushco did learn from the Nazi's how to use tyranny more effectively...

[FreedomAngel82]

53. They learned in deed

After all Bush's grandfather funded them.

[mr_pique]

45. Patient's ABILITY TO PAY Keeps Him Alive

http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/3073295

March 8, 2005, 12:33AM

St. Luke's notified Jannette Nikolouzos in a March 1 letter that it would withdraw life-sustaining care of her husband of 34 years, Spiro Nikolouzos, in 10 days.
A patient's inability to pay for medical care combined with a prognosis that renders further care futile are two reasons a hospital might suggest cutting off life support, the chief medical officer at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital said Monday.

Dr. David Pate's comments came as the family of Spiro Nikolouzos fights to keep St. Luke's from turning off the ventilator and artificial feedings keeping the 68-year-old grandfather alive.

[mr_pique]

48. Where is Tom Delay and 5 Star John McDougal ???????

Shouldn't they be rushing to the bedside of this man who may have his
life support turned off? Why no media circus and women on bended knee
outside the hospital?

[FreedomAngel82]

55. Yeah!

I wonder why Schivao? What's up with it? How did they get this woman? I think something is missing from this story. Some reason they are using her. Why not that little baby in Texas? Why not this guy?

[FreedomAngel82]

51. I'm glad you're talking

about Bush and Hitler and these fake news stuff. Ugh. Imagine if this was Clinton, Gore or Kerry and what people would do. Of course I couldn't ever see them doing any of that b.s.

[mr_pique]

54. Read George Orwell's 1984 Online

http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/1984/

1984 is a must-read. The belief that we have complete freedom and privacy in this country is a dangerous fallacy. I apologize if this posting digresses from the original point of this board but it seems a good place to do so. As alluded to in 1984, such a place as Oceania would not be possible without technology or, at the very least, would be much more difficult to establish. While I understand and embrace technology, I feel that most people have very little understanding or respect for it. How many people really contemplate what actually happens when they send an email, talk on a cell phone, purchase online via credit card, etc, etc. The same technologies that grant one more freedom have the same capacity to harm and to enslave if not respected. Like many, I used to think 1984 was simply a great work of fiction with little chance of actually becoming a reality. The frightening truth is that to a large extent, it already has. The terabytes of information compiled on every citizen already exist. All that is required is the motive to abuse it, as surely it has been for those individuals that have "popped up" on their radar screen as meriting surveillance. For those that haven't already familiarized themselves with it, look up the "Homeland Security Act" recently passed by congress. On the surface, it's a great idea for protecting the country from terrorism after 9/11. In reality, it gives the government carte blanche to acquire and use information on ANY citizen at ANY time and for ANY reason without anyone's knowledge or consent. The ends don't justify the means if, in the process of defending our "beacon for freedom", that beacon is threatened. Also look up "TIA" (total information awareness). 1984 might have been prophetic afterall.

[nostamj]

58. Condi & Wolfie?

<insert Munch's THE SCREAM here>

[krystine]

59. Silent Scream

I can't scream. My jaw just dropped a foot. Condy and Wolfie are more scary than what we have in the White House now.

[Dudley_DUright]

61. Good show Guy

Sorry I had to bring up the bad news about Harry Reid's statement, but I thought you would like to know ASAP.
