Guys - a calimary KPFK update - I MAY be preempted.

They told me in advance, in the event that there was something like the live hearings.

In which case, hopefully, we'll do it next month.

Here's the original thread:

Shit - forgot to say thank you - I CANNOT tell you how much your support here on DU means, and has meant, to me. I feel like the cat that just caught a rat and then brought the prize home to her humans (that would be YOU guys).

:patriot: :hug: :pals: :toast: :headbang:

1. So . . .

Are you going to forget about all yer DU pals when you win your Peabody?

Artist's rendering of Calimary as a political commentator in the present climate of Lilliputians like O'Reilly, Russert and Matthews: Think "Attack of the 50-Ft. Woman."

2. What was really funny, and excruciatingly appropriate was the part of my son's

song where the lyrics went "...she is a wrecking machine..." And they faded up on THAT part when I brought in my first guest, Ellen Snortland of "Group Hillary" in Pasadena. Felt kinda like it applied to me, too!

And NO I AM NOT going to forget anybody here. Are you kidding me??!?!?!?!? All the time I've spent here getting to know people and reading/watching some really world-class debates, discussions, and rants - it's certainly smartened me up and broadened my scope. I think I posted elsewhere here that I spent a whole lotta years as a news reporter/anchor/writer/producer - and the watchword was always OBJECTIVITY. You had to swallow your bias. And I always tried really hard to be vigilant about that. HERE, especially at DU and my own website et al, I have the privilege of exercising some new muscles and becoming comfortable being openly opinionated - something I was NOT used to doing when I was still working. And I certainly never had a vehicle for it. DU helped me get to this point. Like, for example, I wrote down a line from stellanoir regarding mccain - riffing on his smarmy "my friends" blather - "friends don't send friends to die for a war of lies" (I'm paraphrasing). I don't know when I'll be on next, but they did give me an assignment - to find a mccain person and some generic Democrat to come in on the next round. It's a weekly show with a revolving series of hosts, and evidently I get to be one. So it might be another four to five weeks before the next one, but apparently there WILL be a next one! Yay! And when that mccain person comes in, I plan to quote our stella's line and ask about that.

My hero is Rachel Maddow. If I can someday touch the hem of her garment (professionally speaking), I'll be doing just fine!
