Death of talk radio in Pittsburgh, take 2

The Post Gazette did not even note it, But more than WAMO ceased to exist as of last friday.
Clinging by her finger nails to the crashing radiozeppelin, was Lynn Cullen.
Lynn had talked her way back on the air with Wamo managment, battled a poor time slot, a signal not as strong and further north than that of 1360 but still had an audience building and advertising on the up swing when a 3.8 million dollar purchase by religious broadcasters short circuited the comeback.

Lynn deserves credit for her tenacity in landing the WAMO gig and for the great years of radio she brought to Pittsburgh. It was nice to have a talk show with some class and culture (imagine a Marty Griffin interview with Sam Hazo). Problem is, that there aren't many options left, station wise for Lynn, or anyone proposing talk radio of any serious intellectual caliber. Commercial radio needs to be scrapped and turned into micro and regional broadcasting with the required condition of "serving the public interest as a public trustee"until then, good luck with a parade of tent preachers, Chiropractors,snake oil salesmen and right wing gassbags.

A force has turned broadcasting in to the "vast wasteland" predicted, that force is un-bridled, deregulated capitalism.

nutty gun nutz

This was originally posted at Matts blog, but being as it came out so well, I aint writing something new, other that to say that this dumbassed mother of the pittsburgh cop killer needs to take her complaints on to "The Jerry Springer Show"......

"Sorry for denying predictability, but I believe in the whole bill of rights and see no reason to mess with gun laws.

What we need is bullshit control.

We have the mother of this asshole all pissed off at the post gazette for its timid reporting on the "less than stellar" path of his life, threatening to sue them.
She has seen her son flunk out of North Catholic, recieve a PFA for threatening his girlfreinds life and physically assaulting her, get kicked out of the services for assaulting his drill Sargent, stockpile an arsenal of ammo and guns including an AK-47, hang out with fellow "shiftless white boys" reading " the turner diaries" and "protocols of the elders of zion" and books by David Duke, and to be standing by for the police to execute the upcoming "Obama gun ban" (prying his gun from his cold dead hand).

With all this in mind, she calls 911 to have the police evict her son because his dog peed on the floor.

In a perfect and omniscient world, the dispatcher would have said,"sounds like a complex circumstance, you are the expert, we aint commin'"


....Also for the mental giants who soak up the afore mentioned nativist bullshit stated in the form of computer logic

IF the "Jews" control the media

THEN why is the "Mainstreamlbbral Media" being so timid in reporting what a neo-nazi, anti semite racist nutbag this guy was.

The "Goldwaterization" of Pat Buchanon

Have the sands shifted under my feet? or is Pat Buchanon becoming more reasonable?

A video clip of "McLaughlin Group" shows what i am talking about; that no matter how much practical damage had been done in the Nixon and Reagan administrations by Buchannon, he is a paragon of reasonabilityness compared to the new breed of conservatives.

In this instance it was Monica Crowley blathering like Ayan Rand on acid, while Buchanon points out that" regulated" companies (such as PBS sponsor MetLife) are not in trouble, while post Glass-Steegle unregulated AIG showed the self restraint of an NFL 1st round draft pick in a jewelry store.

Buchannon has, at least, been successful in the sphere of public policy, the industry of politics, if you will, while Crowley and Tammy Bruce and Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh propagandize the ultimate fictitious figure of americana; the network radio listener,strung out on Clariton, lying on their Craftmatic adjustable bed, gazing at stars named after themselves in a national star registry( certificate of authenticity suitable for framing, use only as directed), filling their labour fatigued souls with truthyness from a pack of BS specialists who never held a real job in their lives.

Ice down the Jack Daniels kids, it gonna be a loooooong halucination!

The Existentialist Cowboy: Teaching Darwin to Voodoo Evangelicals & Other Darwinophobes

Darwins birthday

The existentialist cowboy has a great tune up on the evangelical frenzied "Darwinism Vs God" bruha-ha.

Nothing differentiates grown up Christianity from the AmericanEvangelical brand like this issue.It has earned the Catholics, Anglicans and other Litergical churches criticism for over a century.

Good find

Found a new resource called "Newshoggers"

Was first drawn by an article of how Pakistan has lost a province to the Taliban.

Also saw anouther where a widely read neo-con gives a favorable comparison of the U.S. and the Roman Empire!

What did that Santayana guy say about repeating history again?

Shit yer brains out on Salmonella tainted peanut butter!

Slather up a slab of wonderbread for fatass Rush. Peanut a pita for Billo, a nice French baggette for Hannity, Khubz Arabi for Savage and Pan de Muertos for Lou Dobbs.

For while they have spooked their followers with tales of evildoers in the guise of A-rabs, Mexicans,frenchmen and Regulators they will be smitten by the plaque they helped perpetrate.

May their spews and gas and howles combine to the approximate notes of "God Bless the USA" in full tribute to the masquerade.

Meanwhile, back at the "Liberal Media" an insider had a documented story of how FDA regulators were called in from the field, but was turned down by the New York Times and Boston Globe.

If you kiss on an airplane, the terrorists have already won!

200 of our fellow citizens have been convicted of Terrorism, the war must be going well!

Although, when I see domestic arguments on busses, ridiculous active (and passive) child discipline, gross discourtesies by customers against workers and drunken, loutish behaviour in general, i wish people could be charged, convicted and punished for being an "assh@1e in public". But we have tied up 200 jail cells and given people Federal Felony convictions on their records for terrorism? This is absurd!

I appreciate the aircraft to be a closed and dangerous environment, as opposed to the North Versailles Wall Mart.But on visits there; my blood ran cold as people treatened fists, death and f#^%ing each others boyfriends. My daughter shivered in fright none the less, is this terrorism?

Interfering with the duties of a flight crew; yes, terrorism? lets stop the silliness.

History.....drudgery

Here I sit, 1:04 A.M. of a history making day, too kicked in the ass to expound on this great moment, for the labour of my meanial but important job.

Though I, and most of you, will not experience this event directly we can imagine the excitement of these events,presented on the stage which is our nations capital.

Here are 3 events of note, set there, in this beautiful city, where the aspirations of a weary, work-worn people are kicked squarely in the nuts by the force of corporate greed on a regular basis.

Barak Obama will not stop this occurring, but perhaps the nut crunching can take a few days off.

#1
3 cheers for uppity Negros and uppity women;

Opera Star Marion Anderson sings at the Lincoln memorial after being disallowed the use of constitution hall by the daughters of the American revolution.

#2
I have a dream, no explanation needed or given

#3
Corporate censorship, The prayer of Eugene Robinson, openly gay Bishop of the Episcopal Church clipped from the air by HBO (purveyors of every slutty piece of shit Hollywood ever made, but they cant have a prayer by.....you get the point!....)

Arterrorist

Every time I pick up a guitar, every time that I arpeggionate the the one chord of a Christmas Carol so my Autistic son can figure out the rest of it on his own, every time I open Anvil to orchestrate a tune swimming about in my head, I turn in to a F#$%in Communist.

Because artists are leftists and leftists are artists, they want tax money to put a crucifix in pee, and take glorious large format black and whites of bullwhips up butts.

Even worse than that, there are rumours that the Obamanation will be sponsoring do-gooder ,socialist, stirr up the working class, folk song and oral history collection ( a la Roosevelt).

God forbid we should have recorded the story of some old millhunk, who looked on as the "Coal and Iron Police", kicked the shit out of his father for union organizing, aint no oligarchy in Amerika, dont need no Commie bastards on the dole sayin' so. Damned trouble makin' libbrelz!!

I just whistled "God bless America", gotta go firebomb a Hummer.

Mideast turmoil

Despite the sympathies which would naturally arise for Ehud Olmert; having grown up 300 miles north of Vladivostok and North Korea in the Chinese city of Harbin ( His family Leaving Czarist Ukraine because they were Jews) Leaving Manchuria for Palestine just in time to miss the Japanese occupation and the subsequent occupation of Harbin by the USSR (where thousands of Russian exiles there were sent back at gunpoint) and despite the sympathies I have as a leftist for the only socialist Democracy in a sea of Capitalistpig Monarchies hiding their crass opulence behind the skirt of severe fundamentalist religion, I must protest.

Olmert has boasted that he called president Bush off the stage in the middle of a speech to tell him to vote no on the UN resolution for cease fire in Gaza.

It could be said that this was a lame duck prime minister blowing some bluster to secure his place in Israeli history, the Busheviks may be telling the truth when they say Secretary Rice busted her butt negotiating this agreement, planning all along to abstain on final passage but it must be likewise considered that we have, again been given the "dog shit on the shoe" treatment.

Juan Cole has this angle

From the folks who brought you Iraq!

Okay ye semi-passive consumers of the "War on Terror"

Time for the "War on Piracy"

Same baloney

Different baloney wrapper

God gives me people for the holidays!

Cool people are everywhere, I meet a lot of them at work. A local guitarist had heard that i played in various bands and suggested a visit to You-Tube for Johnny Winters "Keys to the Highway" (which was good). I countered that the only thing i had to offer was a theological website that provided a Catholic/Orthodox/Augustinian refutation of modern american fundamentalist protestant anti-evolutionary claptrap, to which he counter offered this: Chris Smither origin of species

Great stuff!!!
