7. i think you should do ONE show....

w/o another that 'jeff from brooklyn'...

log OFF and back away from the laptop.....

;-)

have another GREAT one! (btw, didn't get a chance to mention, your follow-up RANT to "Mary" was stunning and made me cry again.

DUers, if you haven't heard that call.... go to the archives!

[jab105]

8. I was a little disappointed with Friday's show....

Don't get me wrong, I love you Guy...

But when that Republican called in asking why he should vote democratic, and you gave him the unemployment numbers during Democratic and Republican administrations, and he still wanted more...

I REALLY think you could have gone into that the Republican economic policies are to let the rich get richer by their tax plans as well as their business policies, whereas the democrats tend to have tax cuts for the middle class and the poor...and the important thing is that when we have a strong middle class and when all the income groups in a society are going up at approximately the same rate...THAT is when we have economic prosperity...that is why the unemployment numbers go down with a democratic administration...because it leads to a larger middle class and that grows the economy and democracy!!

In economics there are two terms called the propensity to save and the propensity to spend/consume (MPS and MPC). If you spent every penny you make you would have a 0% propensity to save and a 100% propensity to consume. And if you save every penny you have a 100% MPS and a 0%MPC. You can represent this by doing a XY chart and labeling the X axis 0, .1, .2...1 and the Y axis 0 to 1,000,000 where X is MPS and Y is income. Now draw a 45% angle starting at 0. Of course this is not an exact real world representation but as you can see how the higher your income the higher your marginal propensity to save and conversely your lower marginal propensity to consume. So what is the driver of our economy???? Spending/MPC. And in an economic slow down and you want to stimulate the economy would you target MPS or MPC??? MPC. This is the central weakness of Republican’s economic plans...it targets the wrong area of the economy.

I just really think that needs to get out!!

[nostamj]

9. guy guy guy....

10. What I love about Guy James!

His voice: he is so soothing when he speaks (as he puts forth those zingers) and he never yells (as in Limpbaughs, Inannity, etc.), but gets his point across with such finesse!

[Frank_Person]

28. I'm multitasking...

Watching those a-holes on Fox and listening to Guy. I love the way they use a cross-eyed, pale, picture for Colms and a photoshopped teeth-whitened, tan enhanced picture of Ins-hannity. Fair + Balanced...

[Frank_Person]

29. Fox loves Sharpton.

They're crying about the attacks on Bush by the Dems.

[Frank_Person]

30. Sharpton called Bush a gangster and Hannity started crying.

[Frank_Person]

31. Bill Bennet gave commentary...no not on how to win the slots...

the dems.

[Frank_Person]

32. Sharpton as Press Sec. YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Go Guy.

[Frank_Person]

36. While Ins-Hannity was crying he got scared of the terrorists...

said Dems won't defend us from them.

[Judi Lynn]

62. Guy James is really getting around! His name is getting out

there among the freepers. I voted in the poll for Guy on the defendingliberty.com (I think) site and he won, at the time I voted. Haven't gone back to see if it was freeped.

[kaitykaity]

:kick::kick::kick:

[Frank_Person]

39. Everybody go nite-nite?

Air Traffic Controller lady. She sounds
like she's gonna kick booty.

Dawn

[Robbien]

41. Just got home and tuned in to a commercial.

Is there any more Guy James to listen to?

[kaitykaity]

42. One more hour, til midnight Eastern nt

[prolesunited]

43. I'm here

In response to your question, my screen name is taken from Orwell's 1984, a book in which I find chilling parallels to the current climate. Here's a pertinent passage:

If there is hope, wrote Winston, it lies in the proles.

If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there in those swarming disregarded masses, 85 per cent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflexion of the voice, at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it? And yet-!
http://www.online-literature.com/view.php/1984/7?term=proles

So, clearly, I think the proles need to be united. I guess if you read it quickly, you would think I'm a Pole. :D

[Frank_Person]

44. Very cool. Thank you. I need to revisit 1984.

[prolesunited]

61. You definitely should!

Here's another great passage:

The proles, normally apathetic about the war, were being lashed into one of their periodical frenzies of patriotism. As though to harmonize with the general mood, the rocket bombs had been killing larger numbers of people than usual. One fell on a crowded film theatre in Stepney, burying several hundred victims among the ruins. The whole population of the neighbourhood turned out for a long, trailing funeral which went on for hours and was in effect an indignation meeting. Another bomb fell on a piece of waste ground which was used as a playground and several dozen children were blown to pieces. There were further angry demonstrations, Goldstein was burned in effigy, hundreds of copies of the poster of the Eurasian soldier were torn down and added to the flames, and a number of shops were looted in the turmoil; then a rumour flew round that spies were directing the rocket bombs by means of wireless waves, and an old couple who were suspected of being of foreign extraction had their house set on fire and perished of suffocation.

If you don't have a copy handy, that link will take you to the entire text online. What makes it even nicer is that you can search it.

[Vadem]

63. I love your moniker! If only the proles would unite with the

rest of us proles!!

(As a side note, I tried to look up a cute smilie and it didn't work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't...can anyone explain it?)

[prolesunited]

68. Thanks!

Not sure what the issue is with the lookup table. It opens in a second window. Could it be minimized or popping up behind the one you're working on.

The smilies are pretty easy because they are basically what you would do in a regular e-mail ; - ) but when they are put together, it comes out as a graphic. ;-)

[Vadem]

71. Thanks, prolesunited! Another question: how do you PM?

eom

[prolesunited]

72. If you want to PM someone

either look them up in the directory which you can access under profiles in the lobby. When you find their name, it will give you a profile and there should be an option to send them a private message.

If it's someone you just saw on a thread, look for the piece of paper thing with the squiggly lines running through it next to their name and click on it. You get a screen similar to the one you use to compose posts.

I'll send you a PM and you can send me one if you want for practice. Hope this helps.

[Vadem]

73. Thanks so much, prolesU!

eom

[Frank_Person]

45. Interestin ATC caller. I said the same thing at work that day.

Where in the hell is the airforce!?

[kaitykaity]

47. Could we get some ATCs to talk off the record

about this? The official story is nonsense, we all
know it's nonsense, how in the world do they justify
it?

She was very, very good. I wish she were a DUer.
Then we could TALK.

D

[Frank_Person]

56. Apparently she IS a DU-er "Corgigal "

[Frank_Person]

46. www.flight93crash.com I think.

[Corgigal]

48. ATC caller was me

I know this shit and I know its not right.

[Frank_Person]

50. Very impressive.

Great call.

[Frank_Person]

53. http://www.9-11commission.gov/

[kaitykaity]

51. No Shit???

Gail, can we talk???

[Corgigal]

52. Yep

We can talk.

[kaitykaity]

54. I'd like that very, very much.

I can PM with my email?

[Corgigal]

55. that works

Gale

[kaitykaity]

58. On it's way.

Thank you.

[Robbien]

49. Gail sounds informed and is pretty convincing

I am glad I was an uninformed citizen when 9-11 happened. It would be horrible to have thought those thoughts that day. Much easier to handle now, but that day I was pretty fragile. Too fragile to deal with doubts on what may really have been happening.

Good call.

[prolesunited]

57. Hi, Michael!

:hi:

[JanMichael]

66. Want to know something funny?

It's less stressful for me to co-host in the studio than call in.

It went well though I guess.

[prolesunited]

69. You sounded great as always

It's good, though, that you get a chance to experience what the rest of us go through. :D

[JanMichael]

70. I almost started in on an anti-Oligarchy (now I can't spell it) rant but..

...I found that I was having trouble pronouncing it!

Yes, I've always respected our callers because I'd done it before a few times and know how freaky it can be.

[kaitykaity]

59. My feed just died and I can't

connect. :wtf:

[Corgigal]

60. well give me a email

that isnt something you normally use and I can contact you.
Unless it's a question I can answer here.

[kaitykaity]

65. The audio goofed.

:grr:

[Corgigal]

67. well I got your message

and I emailed you. If I can't get it all answered tonight then I will tomorrow.

[Robbien]

64. Good show, glad that I could get in on the end of it. n/t
