Jobber of the Week

http://www.theonion.com/news/ Hmmm.... -=Jobber ...Who's trying to remember where he's heard this stuff said seriously before.

Well, to be honest, you bitching about this is like me bitching about Hannity. The point may be valid, but the opinion is predictible. I'm only going to get the opening hour of Garafolo because this radio goes back at 6, but I imagine if I got this on regular airwaves that I wouldn't mind making Franken my new morning show. He's gotta have better conversations than what I heard of that last hour, though. I'm curious how bad Rhodes' first "Best of" weekend show will sound, though.

Oh crap. Scultz takes up the whole timeslot. Is this woman you're talking about Garafolo, Slapnuts? I won't hear her until 5PM appearantly. I wanted to hear this stuff, too. Going to try the netstream.... Aaand RealAlternative won't play it. Update 2!!!: Judging by the schedule, this isn't Garafolo. This is some woman called Randi Rhodes. Uh, okay. At least I'm not missing something. Garafolo's live at 5 Pacific.

Whoops. Wrong window

If this shirt seems familiar to you, you might remember it from about six months ago. WWE.com ran a poll asking visitors which shirt they liked more. The choices were this shirt or an identical twin that said "I'VE BEEN BLOWN" on the front. The other time WWE asked the internet for marketing advice was the infamous HLA shirts.

Sounds like this isn't as good as her Crossfire appearances last year. Maybe she does neat a rightie to play the Colmes to her Hannity. I'll find out in 30 min when she comes on. Meanwhile, Cap'n we have found the music! Nothing I can listen to though. I guess I'll be eating lunch to the sounds of "Hey Man Nice Shot."

Well, that Chris Matthews imitation was absolute gold but now it's been pretty dull Now he's talking about athletes making racist statements. I think I'm going to try and find some music on this thing, somehow. See if it's really worth paying for. I'll be back when Garafolo comes on. UPDATE oh crap I turned on a trucker's talk station. I quote: "How wide 'dat res'room doh'?"

"CRAIG DID YOU KNOW I WORKED FOR JIMMY CARTER!?!?!?" "Well...." "COMEON GET TO THE QUESTION DID YOU KNOW I WORKED FOR TIP ONEILL?!?!" "Well, Chris..." "COME ON YOU NEED TO READ YOUR HISTORY BOOK!!! DID YOU KNOW THAT JOHN KERRY IS A BIG CATHOLIC AND HAS ONLY SEEN THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST TWICE?!!?!" (Hardball closing theme)

SCHULTZ IS DOING CHRIS MATTHEWS OMG

Yes, but it meant people were listening to him.

And now Schultz is on. And he's calling Clarke his new hero. Ohhhkay.

Wrong conspiracy. I await your conservative attack ads about my bathing habits.

Is Rush supposed to appeal to anyone besides conservatives and was his TV show just a way for Clinton-bashers to bash Clinton on a regular basis? I don't think so, but I was pretty shocked to see people wearing those dollar bill "ribbons" in the early 90s too.

I'm back. I actually took a shower. I know I said I wasn't, but it was another liberal lie. My lie is now going through CNN this minute because we control everything, you see.

I just ran through the water. And now I leave for.. Uh... Non-shower reasons.

The news updates are nothing amazing but nothing political either.

Script of: OMG911SLOWMOTIONCRASHFOOTAGENEVERFORGETLOL2004 By Mikey Moore SCENE: Two men rush down a stairwell. The sound of a large EXPLOISIONS sounds, and the room shakes. Man #1: When this skyscraper's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'! Man #2: *laughs* DEBRIS falls from the ceiling, killing them both. END But hey, if he uses music other than "Only Time", it'll at least be different than 99.999999999999999% of the other Sept11 movies. Now I'm taking that shower.

No, they had Savage too, until he showed what he's usually like.

Oh, god. It's OMGMIKEYMOOREFATLOL2004. I'm turning this off and taking a shower. Schultz is on at noon. I'll give it a try if there's nothing else happening.

Well, uh, he dislikes the music industry suing P2P swappers. I think most everyone can agree with that. I usually only listen to AM/FM, not this crazy digital stuff. Everything I've read about Schultz's show says it's boring.

By the way, this radio is really weird. When I walked down the street to the neighbor's, I imagined it would look like a larger transistor radio with a tiny dish or something. Instead he hands me this big boxy thing with double speakers and everything. I asked how to change the channel and he told me to push the channel number on the buttons on the front. It has an LED screen or something, currently scrolling "Al Franken" in big letters. Chuck D is on right now. Chuck: I tell youth, voting is as big a responsiblity as washing your behind. You can't walk around wondering what stinks if you didn't wash, and the same with voting. Al: Uh... Yeah... I've said the same thing to my dog before, actually.

Stein jokes about the famous Nixon speech, saying the original draft said "I am a crook" Al said that the Newt Gingrich years were about dismantling things that Nixon had setup, such as the EPA and other agencies. Stein credited him with creating something that he led to affirmative action, and they both agreed the guy was a visionary. Colmes is not actually on the Air America network, but XM is running it on this channel. XM's "America Left" runs mostly Air America content but also runs Alan Colmes and Ed Schultz, two other lefty talk shows that XM already had contracts to and were running on the other talk stations, I guess. Jeneane Garafolo's live show loses an hour of programming on XM so they can run Schultz.

Well, I'm falling asleep over here, but that's because Kerrey's on, and even though he's talking about 9/11, it's still a politician droning on.......

Back on topic, I'm currently listening right now because I borrowed a friend's XM radio. This is because he's conservative, so he'll pay for things like radio, while I'm lazy and expect government subsidies for everything. Only woke up 10 minutes ago and found Franken is on, but so far it's not all that boring. We'll see how it plays out over the next hour. They mentioned they had no SF station but want to soon, and said they are or will be streaming everything online with archives. UPDATE:Well, here's what happened so far. G. Gordon Liddy called, he and Al are friends it seems. They talk about going to jail and putting soap in a sock so you can smack guys in the head with it, and some other stuff. SKETCH: Some phony reporter tries to interview peoople at a shut down UK to New York flight. Of course, he interviews a terrorist. Haw haw. Ben Stein calls. He's friends with Al, too. They talk about Nixon. Al then claims that they invited Ann Coulter to the program, but left her in the green room, locked the door, and turned up the heat. SKETCH: Al talks to "Ann" through the door who shouts about "you should fire that Dominican or Puerto Rican or whatever he was! He was disrespectful!" among other things. Bob Kerrey is next.

I don't get the Hunchback hate. Sure, it's been fluffed up with Jason Alexander and a more modest Quasimodo, but the presence of creepy pseudo-occult scenes and Tony Jay playing a villain pretty much redeems it.
