*AA* Morning Sedition thread 4/2

[mouse7]

Morning Sedition opens reporting London Independent reports about Sibel Edmonds.

Reports Ashcroft is slapping a gag order on her using "state secrets" provisions.

1. I need a working link

AA site is nonresponsive & Portland is still playing Randi Rhodes...

[mouse7]

2. Here's a link to WLIB

http://www.wlib.com/

[Paragon]

3. Already there

Blech...not the greatest-sounding stream. Oh, well - better than nothing. Thanks!

[mouse7]

4. Yeah, there's definitely some part of processing missing form feed

This feed is being tapped from some intermediate point before final processing.

[Jim Warren]

5. AA main page listen live link working well...........nt

[mouse7]

7. Oh, that's much better

The WLIB feed is one channel, and sounded like it was coming down a lead pipe all the way from NY.

[mouse7]

6. Micheal Stipe from REM being interviewed

Talked a little about being 20 blocks from WTC on 9/11. Politics and music. Bob Dylan. Gay marriage and seperation of church and state.

[mouse7]

8. They're taking calls.

Well, maybe not.

Okay, well maybe.

[maddezmom]

9. Hans Blix coming up after the break

[Bombtrack]

10. Call your senator this morning to keep allowing free speech on the radio

call 202 224 3121, you can get your senator. The indecency bill that is wiping the republicans ass with the first amendment could be hotlined this morning, from 9:30-10:00, all there needs to be is 1 senator to object and the hotline is stopped, and the bill is at least put on the backburner to be debated.
It's called S 2506, just ask them to stop the hotline.

11. I love Morning Sedition

It's actually my favorite to listen to. Good morning voices, if you know what I mean. No shouting ( not that I disapprove if it is appropriate) and calm, cool news and comment. Intelligent commentary.

Right now....such a good caller: Brad from Manhattan.

[Jim Warren]

12. Hans Blix up now

[mouse7]

13. Hans Blix is on now.... from Sunny Stockholm

Bush was "little boyish." Cheney "impression of overconfident business executive."

[OKNancy]

14. Joe Conason

Talking about the "widows" . Conflict of interest on the 9-11 panel.

[mouse7]

15. Joe Conason from salon.com being interviewed

On talking with "English chic" arguing about the pronunciation of the word "salon," and talking about this column...

16. I STILL can't tune in.

Listened the day before yesterday on Oregon station.

what's the deal. I thought you could use Windows Media. Also have WinAmp

[mouse7]

17. Portland station runs Morning Sedition on delay

It's week one. They've pulled their website and put it back up more than twice to try to deal with massive unexpected web volumn. There are going to be bugs when that happens.

Try the WLIB link if the *AA* link isn't working for you.

[Jim Warren]

18. try this

19. The Christian bashing I hear on Air America is a really bad idea

There are so many issues where liberals can explain their position and find common ground with a majority of Americans. Things like health care, the economy, taxes,and the environment should be easy sells. But going on and making fun of peoples faith is just a huge mistake. I am not religious at all and even I am finding it offensive.

Things like this just reinforce peoples worst notions of liberals.

[mouse7]

26. In other words, we aren't free to not be Christian

I do believe that's what Seperation of Chuch and State was put in the Constitution to protect. The right not to be forced to have Christian rhetoric shoved down ones throat all the time.

[DemNoir]

28. Great, you manged to get my post 100% wrong

Try one of those reading comprehension courses.

[mouse7]

34. No, I didn't get it wrong

What they were going is called JOKES. I'm sorry you have no sense of humor about the topic of religion. You seem to believe that a few jokes are "bashing." That sounds like the standard line I hear out of Bible Belters.

[truthspeaker]

29. What Christian bashing?

Calling Pat Robertson and his followers the hateful pieces of shit they are is not "Christian bashing", it's asshole bashing.

[mouse7]

31. Thank You! n/t

[mouse7]

20. One bummer... Can't see Robbins play "Embedded" in Portland

I'm listening to the net feed about 1/3 of the time because of delay. Therefore, I'm listening to a lot of NY ads.

The Tim Robbins play sounds good. Too bad it's running 3000 miles away :(

[Jim Warren]

21. Advantage yours

Living in Portland is it's own reward

[mouse7]

22. That is true!

New adopted hometown. I love it here.

[Jim Warren]

24. Hear that Mouse

"Cynthia McKinney was right"

(noticed your link)

[mouse7]

27. *GRIN* I most certainly did. Was hoping someone else would post it.

Thank you.

It just wouldn't have had the same effect from me posting it first on the thread. I already post so much McKinney stuff.

[Striker Davies]

23. Listening in Sydney, Australia

I've had problems getting in during the day (my time), but it looks like the site was down a bit.

Now getting "Morning Sedition" and this is lots of fun, hearing professionals NOT sliming liberals for once!

[Jim Warren]

25. G'day mate

or is it night?

[Striker Davies]

35. G'day!

It was after 11:00 pm when I posted, about 8:00am in the US, East Coast.

And it's a drop-dead, knock-'em down, drag-'em out GORGEOUS Saturday morning in Sydney!

[mouse7]

30. They just woke up Robert Reich on West Coast on jobs report

He was sound asleep and they woke him up to discuss employment figures. He's still half-asleep and is having a real hard time with doing math. It's just hysterical.

[Paragon]

32. I'm glad they did

It hadn't occurred to me that 150,000 jobs a month are expected for population growth -- which makes the average "job growth" over the last three months, well...less than average.

Also talked about how the deficit is devaluing the dollar which is causing gas prices to rise. Reich knows his stuff.

[mouse7]

33. Unemployment actually rose 0.1%

Some more out-of-work people tried finding jobs than last month.
