[arcos]

;)

[mountainvue]

2. I know.

[0007]

5. The lies that Prince Bandar told on "Meet the Press"

Replays some of his responses to Tim Russert.

[nostamj]

4. well, she IS a smoker

[krkaufman]

37. good one..!!!

Need those pics on the front and back of a T-shirt.

[krkaufman]

46. here ya go

p.s. I liked your comparison so much, I tweaked it into a single image:

thanks.

[BlueEyedSon]

47. Nice....thx!!!

[Failure]

48. That's cool.

I hope everyone gets to see that. If that were in a 30 sec. spot, it would put this questioning of military records shit to bed.

[seabeyond]

6. screw that shit

if she wants to smoke back off. i am so d*mn tired of the self righteous b.s. all over the place about every d*mn thing in life. you all want to restrict here and there and the fundies want to restrict here and there and then we have another group restricting. who the h*ll are you to judge her and her smoking. is it coming thru the radio and contaminating your very little space

i am so tired of this cr*p

[notadmblnd]

11. NEWSFLASH! No one gets out alive!

nt

on edit: I didn't direct that at you, It was directed to the self appointed PC cop.

[sendero]

35. I tend to agree...

.... smoking is bad for you, but then I'd rather live a short honorable life than a long one of infamy. :)

Full disclosure: I smoke one cigarette a day. It isn't helping my health but I doubt it's hurting much either.

[Donkeyboy75]

38. Die young, make a beautiful corpse.

Rather die a few years younger having fun and enjoying myself than live a long life of worrying what the hell is going to happen to me.

[seabeyond]

40. die young my *ss

what smoke a cig and you keel over to death............or are we talking 65, 70, 75, 80???????????

lets be real. this is just another cult like feeding of our society. we have convinced the children, one drag and you are dead

bully for us

[Donkeyboy75]

41. Yikes! You misinterpreted my post.

I'm saying that we shouldn't be held hostage by the fear of hurting our health all the time. I'm a runner, like to exercise, but I smoke anywhere from 0-15 cigarettes a week.

Believe me, I'm firmly in the camp of 75% of your health is genetic anyway. Almost everyone on my dad's side up to my great-great grandparents have lived to 90, and almost all of them smoke. Most like their wine too.

Now, go be healthy and cut your carbs! That is, until the newest health fad comes out.

[seabeyond]

43. reason

someone with reason. thank you

i go out into the sun without fear too..............

[sendero]

44. Yeah...

... the sun.

It's amazing how man has lived on earth in the sun for 10,000 years without sunscreen.

Now, if you get 10 minutes of sun your life is over. Not.

IMHO, sunburns are bad. Repeated exposure will make you leathery. But a little tan here and there is probably health-inducing.

[Donkeyboy75]

45. People make a lot of money off of scaring the masses

about their health. Quite a racket.

[0007]

50. When do you smoke your one cigarette a day?

First thing in the morning. After dinner? After sex? With your one beer?

[rucky]

7. she's smokin' hot!

18. that's a stupid assertion----why is an assertive woman assumed to be

on her period whenever she shows aggressiveness?

[BlueEyedSon]

22. Whoops... I had a feeling I would get busted, probably by you!

I meant that expression figuratively, not literally.
Anyway I think the text explains my point.

Are you listening to her? She is VERY testy today (as opposed to assertive). Maybe too much caffiene...

:)

PS I promise not to use the word "bitch", even as a verb.....

[yankeedem]

25. Would you have used that expression

figuratively, not literally, about a man?

Too much caffeine? Maybe she is truly outraged at what Prince Bandar said yesterday?

You probably didn't mean anything by it, but those type of statements are what are used to dismiss women's legitimate heartfelt, emotions.

Think about what you would feel if people said you were on the rag, or that you just had too much caffeine when you presented an impassioned case.

[BlueEyedSon]

29. She is outraged everyday, as you and I are (I hope!)

Hard to single out one day when the Bush admin's reign seems "better"....

Poor choice of words on my part. And yes, I use that expression about men too (even if its origins are not consistent with that). But probably less insulting than the suggestion that she is on crack today.

[yankeedem]

30. It's like they say

If you're not mad, you're not paying attention :)

[0007]

42. I use that expression on men all the time that are cranky

and cantankerous, why not?

[slinkerwink]

36. I can't hear her on the radio since I'm deaf and all....

[0007]

39. Your eyes are your savior, I can understand your position

Hang in there!

[rbnyc]

9. maybe crack.

I'm sorry. I do like and agree with a lot of what she's saying. But does she ever listen to her callers or let them complete a sentence? And does she have to scream the whole show? Honestly, she's driving me nuts. I just screamed at her to shut up. I think she has a serious ego problem. There's so much truth in what she's saying, but it's lost in her practically incompetent way of saying it. I don't think she's serving the cause very well today, IMHO.

[mountainvue]

10. The stone owl

guy that just called was whack. She's pissed off at Bandar and she's right. We should all be pissed.

[rbnyc]

13. She (we) should be pissed...

...but she's barely coherent right now. I guess I'm just not used to all the yelling and commercial breaks and my nerves are fried.

[freeminder]

19. I recommend the archives

at www.randirhodesarchives.com , which have no breaks. great listening.

She can let her genuine passion overrun her. It may not always be what you want but I think we all can imagine how it feels.

then again, I'm biased since I started a love Randi thread :-)

[rbnyc]

24. Cool, thanks.

I'm glad that Air America is a commercial station, but it's been the hardest thing for me to get used to.

[freeminder]

28. Welcome!

Over here we are even less used to commercials. Watching CNN with 3 minute breaks every 7 minutes is really killing me.

Then again, I wonder if we'd be counted in Randi's listeners usinf archives like this. Her show deserves support.

*feels slightly guilty*

16. Bohemian Grove

He was referring to an exclusive club called the Bohemian Grove that many Republican presidents have belonged to. That owl think is true.

http://www.fair.org/extra/best-of-extra/bohemian-grove.html

"Walter Cronkite, now on the CBS board, hangs out at the same lodge at Bohemian Grove as George Bush and the former chairs of Procter & Gamble and Bank of America; Cronkite's voice has served as the voice of the Owl of Bohemia, a fixture in the club's mock-druidic rituals."

[0007]

31. Thanks for the link Wheaty

[mountainvue]

51. I never said it wasn't true.

The caller presented it in a fahsion which made him sound extreme tin foil hat.

[dennis4868]

12. I don't like how she....

hangs up on people after they took the time to call her show....but what she says is the truth...there is just a better/nicer way to go about it.

[0007]

14. Did 'ya hear the trucker that called?

[rbnyc]

15. There were a couple...

...but the most recent one was an idiot.

She's calming down now. There was just about 15 minutes there when she was all at top pitch, and I just thought she must be losing people.

[yankeedem]

21. Let me tell you how call-ins are regarded

At best they are to be used to make the show- if that means a caller has to be humiliated, so be it, if a rambling caller has to be dismissed, so what?

At worst, they are considered kooks. Either way, no matter how many callers the host pisses off, there will always be another.

No offense to those of you who call, I've heard some great calls, but the show isn't for you, it is for the 99% of people who will never call. So if some poor sap has to be humiliated for Randi to make a point, or if you aren't moving the show in the direction she wants, so be it.

My experience comes from a well known talk radio station in NY now dominated by cons.

[robbedvoter]

17. I was anticipating this yesterday, during MTP

I wasn't disappointed. Too much for ya? Listen to Molly ivins or the guy who wrote "Fraud" saying "he(Bush) means well, just thinks secrecy is a good thing"
Loved when she told the woman who said: "We were lazy" : "What's the matter with you? We won! They stole it!"

[orwell]

20. Randi Rocks

Randi knows Radio. She gives great air. I love her show.

The Left/Progressives need more kick ass and less kiss ass. Bring on Malloy next and take no prisoners. Kick Bush/Cheney to the curb.

You go girl!

O

[0007]

26. Sometimes she can grate on me, but for the most part

she is right on and I do like her.

I don't think I could live with her!

[mr blur]

23. So what?

It's not against the law over here in Europe - is it against the law in the US? I wouldn't be surprised.

[robbedvoter]

27. If I sound strange to you, there is a problem with the media

because I am a regular person" - gee, made me thing of the strange comments on this thread.

[skooooo]

32. You WILL obey Randi !!!!!

And read Orwell's 1984. Just like I admonished you all yesterday, Randi was listening and she agrees with me!! Read the book -- it's even online if you don't want to pay for it.!!!

[tridim]

33. A caller just said, "It's cut to the chase day"

and Randi agreed. That's what I like about her, she doesn't want to talk about bullshit and she doesn't want to chit-chat about stuff that's off topic. Her show is pure substance, yet Randi always manages to make it entertaining. Genius.

[patricia92243]

34. I love it when she says "shut up, shut up, aw shut up" which is a

throw off on O'Reilly.


Randi does talk like it should be done.

[Poor Richard]

49. I love Randi

She is the best show on AA and the best talk radio EVER. I am thinking of ditching XM because Sirius plays her whole show. I hear her streaming mostly.
