4. time to switch to XM.....
I would be pissed off with Sirius, So much that I would let them know I am switching.


Just my two cents though.


You could get a Roady system for a little over $50 now :shrug:

10. Rupert Murdoch has an interest in XM
You could switch to XM, if you're into subsidizing Rupert Murdoch. Hughes Electronics/ DirecTV owns a good bit of the stock at 7.268 million shares.

Not my cup o' tea. The man is a propagandist... shame on AAR!

Cheers

12. XM has 4.2 million listeners
sirius has like 1 and a half.


Rupert Murdoch doesnt OWN xm, just has stock in them just like every other rich bastard in the world has stock in everything.


Hell, I would be willing to bet that he has stock in the company that makes your underware.......are you not going to wear underware becuase murdoch has a vested interest in your fruit of the looms?


Sirius Sucks


There I said it.

5. I have SIRIUS too.. Streaming is doing it for me in the mean time
until XM decides if they want to honor their exclusive deal with AAR and actually broadcast the full schedule.

11. She made some good points in between the laughs
She repeated the fact that Rove and the GOP are following the usual modus operandi in this sense: they victimize someone (Valerie Plame) and, when confronted and chastised, they try to turn themselves into the victim and accuse the other side of playing mean spirited politics. Randi made particular fun of the fact that the Wall Street Journal and the newly released GOP talking points both coincidentally make the point that Rove is a "whistleblower" regarding Wilson. She then made fun of the fact that Rove "blows", but he doesn't have a whistle, and continued with variations of the thought. She also scoffed at the fact that Karl Rove would be an innocent victim, discussing his various nefarious activities throughout his political career, such as bugging his own office and blaming a political foe, and the campaigns again John McCain, Max Clelland, and John Kerry, turning heroes into seeming madmen or losers through propaganda. She also made fun of the fact that Rove used to be the President of the college Republicans but had himself dropped out of college. She also brought attention to the fact that Rove and Valerie Plame attend the same church in Washington and so he must have known exactly who she was and what she looked like. Amid the laughter on her show was repeated reference to the very real fact that the Right Wing does this again and again: they will transgress and, when caught, will try to turn the victim into the bad guy and themselves into the perceived victim.
