A few years ago to be patriotic it was "go shopping."

what... you have a problem with that?  you want the terrorists to win or something?  commie.






tee hee.

that is both tragic and hysterically funny

one of the reasons it's funny is because you're not allowed to think it is.

the two threads are now merged here.

Frankly, I am not a fan of drawing Corporate Attention to this site.

i wouldn't sweat it.  there is nothing wrong with encouraging people not to purchase a product.  it happens everyday, and premiere radio networks isn't immune to it.

i feel like they shouldn't have given it to the computer when it answered "mickey" rather than "mickey mouse."  seemed like a misstep.  no human would answer with only "mickey."

ok boss.   

haha, yeah... look like you're working, marc.

nah, i think i'm going to let this one fly.  at least he responded when people called him out. 

another pebble amid the mountain of reasons why i think fox news sucks:

...many of these countries that cry now have benefited greatly from US entrepreneurs.

i'm curious as to why these countries, given the details of what's coming, don't just... uhh... say "no thanks."

Oh, and MV, please tell us you archived Lena's avatars...

since she posted so frequently, i'm sure a google image search for "coastgab" will get them for u straight away.

The bribe might have been what triggered Watergate, in that the paranoid Nixon was afraid there was evidence of the Hughes in that safe. 

definitely a fascinating tale.  i just wish it could have been told by someone other than drosnin.  i found him to be perhaps the most annoying guest i've ever heard on the show.  he incessantly interrupted art and came across as a dismissive dick who wants to talk and never listen.  i wanted to punch him through my MP3 player.

...this crap is like replacing The Messiah Being Interviewed By Dennis Miller On Acid Broadcasting From The Dark Side Of The Moon, with Britney Spears Live From Pasadena Huffing Paint Thinner While Forming Little Shapes From Play Dough, and I don’t like it!!!!

haha, holy shit... talk about painting an image.

Also sorta like saying that Wikipedia is an on-line encyclopedia and therefore credible, ...when in fact it is just a giant blog. 

i find wikipedia to be very credible... particularly when stacked against sources who are routinely given a pass just because of who they are (britannica).


check this out.

tonight's show about NASA holding ET hostage in Dubbya's basement ...

George said something like ... "It's like these fossils on Mars.  And people are saying there aren't any fossils.  These people have missed the boat.  Literally"

LITERALLY?! is there a Prince Cruise to Mars?  i don't think so.

it would seem he thinks the word "literally" means, "i feel really strongly about this."  dummy.

aldous, you are now officially a soldier in our cause.  thank you, sir.

So because there is no threat of harm protesting in the US, it has no validity? Only those in a totolitarian give credibility to dissent?

i never used the word "credibility."  i don't think any of us can determine the credibility of one's dissent.  however, i don't respect those in america who continually point the finger in the mirror.  i think it generally comes from a place of personal guilt and a need for acceptance, neither of which are traits i share.  perhaps the lesser evolved, immature, teenage version of myself shared those traits, but not the 31 year old version of me.

We as Americans have a standard of living that is incomparable to 70 percent of the world... shouldn't that give us pause?

this is the difference between people like you and people like me.  you look at our quality of life and inherently assume we must be culpable in some way or have done something wrong.  that's so ass backwards to me.  i see our standard of living and conclude we must have done something right.

I find the cognitive dissonance here to be painful. On one hand we should never talk this country down. On the other hand we have a corrupt government that has nothing but bastards doing nothing but evil manipulations to enslave us.

don't confuse the country with the government.  they are not one in the same.

(Personally, the only soda that crosses my lips is the Mexican bottled, pure cane sugar coke, in the glass bottle)

hey, me too!

just finished watching a documentary called don't you forget about me.  it's about 80s teen film director john hughes and his mysterious departure from the hollywood scene in the early 90s.  these douche bags from canada spend the entire film NOT getting an interview with hughes...


and then hughes dies.


what a shit film.

It takes no bravery to be a dissenter in the USA.

this is what's at the heart of my disgust for americans (or those IN america) who incessantly talk this country down or look to it first as a probable cause of any global problem.  it's just not impressive to do so in a society rooted in the belief that you should be able to do so.


in north korea, a cameraman was nearly ejected from the country for lying down in front of a statue of the "great leader" so that he could get a better shot.


point made.

yikes.


and, needless to say, i voted for me.

i voted for bush twice.  by the end of it all, i missed clinton.  can't believe i'm saying that.  actually, i think what i missed more was the combination of clinton and the republican house/senate who forced him to move right of where he started.


gridlock is a healthy thing.  it means nobody can easily pass laws that screw with your life.

I'm two weeks late, but I love Ron and Fez.  I used to listen to them on FM radio, so it's startling to hear them curse!

i don't know when you listened to them, but these days, fez is basically a basket case who remains quiet during the entire show and contributes nearly nothing.  his personal psychological issues have REALLY affected his show performance.

For me it is always "yes sir" "no sir" "that's not mine sir".

     Somebody calls Ian on Saturday night talking about how our musical tunings were changed in the early twentieth century as part of some plot to drive humans crazy (but weren't we crazy before that?), and Ian blew it off as being "too complicated", but I thought it was interesting, and then Rob Simone does a whole show on frequencies, which was kind of synchronicitous,  so I'm thinking maybe there's something to this, and tonight George had on NASA conspiracist Nick Redfern, who somehow managed to link our treasured space agency with Chupacabra, and I didn't understand any of it, but he does sound a whole lot like Mark Steyn, who is the only "fill in" for Rush that I can tolerate.

yeah, he's a good fill-in host.  when the others are on?  click.

PS. I hope to god that WASN't your "best one so far."

HAHAHA, unfortunately, as drunk karaoke goes, it was.

anagrammy... i both understand and share your convictions on this issue.  believe me, i do.  however, there are a few problems:


1) my website is hosted by someone other than me.  if i refuse to take down the material, premiere radio is simply going to move up the food chain and threaten my hosting company.  do you think for one moment my hosting company is going to fight for me?  a customer who pays them $10 per month?  hell no.  they are going to pull the plug on my server LONG before any of that comes to pass.  it's not in their legal or financial interests to do anything other than that.  if my server were to be shut down, the lack of functionality on CoastGab would go far beyond simply not being able to post c2c shows.


2) many moons ago when i used to ask for donations to help defray the costs of the stream, very few people ever donated a cent despite the fact that there were thousands of people listening each day.  if this is indicative of the kind of financial backing i could expect from supporters in an expensive legal battle with premiere radio networks, i'll pass.  furthermore, to depend on donations to some sort of legal fund would be to assume that a majority support my position against premiere.  i don't know that to be true.  also, if there are attorneys using this site who are so eager to represent me, where are they?  why have they not come forward?  i think the answer is clear:  nobody really gives a shit about this, and if they don't, why should i?  i have real life problems/concerns/responsibilities/obligations to attend to.  furthermore, i'm not so sure premiere is legally incorrect in demanding the shows be taken down.  it might make them assholes, and for that i do not forgive them... but i'm not so sure they're incorrect legally.

Fortunately, an art connaisseur passes by and deems it "genious" and a new style of art called Jib's freestyle is presented in all upscale trendy metropolitan nightclubs.

unfortunately, on the first night the public visits these nightclubs, they come to their senses and acknowledge the fact that they're drinking their martinis only three feet away from canvases sprayed by liquid shit.  they are nonplussed.
