Yeah you're high. I didn't erase any PCP comment. Fuckwit.

Umm, you did.  Your quote is embedded in one of my posts.   Get your lube and your Noory dildo.  Call Tommy and talk dirty to him. Have at it.  I'm done with you.

There could be a ton of reasons but I can only speculate.

Art had planned on doing this from a couple years back, right? perhaps he hadnt a  clue about the COPD at the time. The network itself and its success was totally contingent on the Art bell name and without Art there was little to no chance to break into terrestrial imho and expand.

-In this scenario Art was helping to get the network going and was going to use his legacy to break into mainstream radio while staring to promote other hosts and shows while having a slow exit strategy to acclimate the stations to the slow change. Something happened (the big ?) that changed things and hastened the exit.

All we have is speculation but honestly this answers alot of the questions I have and explains alot of the shit. I can even...Kinda...Understand the stalker story in this instance but i'm not going to go into the reasons why it could have been an advantageous way to exit.

personally, I think we very close to the truth right now. Not that my opinion means anything except to me but I hold my own opinion in great esteem so thats my story and i'm sticking with it.

I don't know. I just don't know. I've seen copd take 2 people- but they definitely had a clue, long fair warning. Perhaps it would have been best if Art had just started a school for budding talk show hosts, instead of 1. taking on Sirius and 2. doing MITD with all the hype. But sure! He could have started MITD with a variety show of different hosts easily - I think that would have done well - all with paranormal interest of course. Had that been his plan at any point , it'd have been on its way by now, instead of pushing his legacy off this way. Well, just a dream, right? It was all just a dream.

Jesus Christ-on-a-crutch, you are one stupid motherfucker. My original "PCP" post is still there. Embedded or not. I never erased the original comment. You need to learn how to read. You must not learn much from your scripture, with such a severe learning disability.

I see what you did.  You quoted me twice and I thought you changed your comment.  My mistake. At least I will admit to mine.

I have COPD, have smoked  for 40 years, carry an inhaler, and work in a foundry. It does not mean "cancel all activities".
Just another excuse.

Yup.  My grandfather smoked a ton in his life and spent the last year and a half barely being able to get out of his chair to get to the bathroom or his bed.  I think that until Art reaches that point, hosting MITD should be his priority.  anything else (like wanting to spend his remaining healthy days with his family) is "just another excuse."

[paladin1991]

Having worked in the industry for almost 20 years in both on air and on the sales side, I thought about tossing my hat in the ring after reading the post just for shits and giggles.

You know, I've listened to radio all my life.  Maybe I should try for the gig.

[Value Of Pi]

Marines never try for a gig so that they can be forced to admit defeat and have to surrender. That's what you'd be in for with this deployment. Even the Army isn't interested in this one. Right, rekcuf?

You sure ARE done with them, aren't you? At least when I said I was leaving for a while long ago I meant it and stayed away for a while. And I'm not back here permanently, I see that this is still a majority wing nut haven here.

Thing is, people bully liberals here and they go away, but you guys are supporting the jerks, Trump and Cruz are racists and rabble rousers. Trump "I love the Blacks" my god, how patronizing and racist, "the blacks". Jesus H...

And he uses the a-ok symbol while he talks, he uses all of Hitler's tactics in speaking. You wingnuts are suckers, you are suckers for Bell and his hucksters and suckers for billionaires who only want to screw you all. Foolish foolish people.

Bernie isn't promising free lunch, you aren't listening to him, because you are too biggoted to pay attention, at least *I* watch the debates and listen, I watch the rethuglican debates and pay attention to everything, I read, I know where they stand and hear the lies.

Bernie is saying we all need to roll up our sleeves and we need to stop the billionaire executives from robbing the middle class. He's talking about Wall Street income being taxed so our roads can be fixed, so college is possible for the middle class, so taxes and deficit don't go out of control worse. Billionaires are paying less than at any time since before the great depression per capita yet are 3 times richer than ever. Bernie is talking about all of us bringing sanity back to the economy again so that we don't have another great recession or depression. It's not rocket science. Get a clue guys.

Trump and Cruz are racists, Art is a racist, how many black guests does he ever have? Art keeps having the same tired bullshit guests he's had for decades. He's in the same rut as George. I, for one, suggested a whole slew of non political topics that would have breathed new life in the format, and he ignored all of it, despite asking for it.

And this bullshit of not wanting to pay for music, c'mon, the guy is a millionaire and his show was supposed to have 100's of thousands of listeners, you mean to tell me that a bodunk small town radio station can afford music but he can't? He can't afford to pay employees? Bull, he, just like Trump and the billionaires, want corporate welfare and a free lunch, and so far, they are getting it because of you suckers.

Keep the government out of ARE medicare, right? (quoted from wingnut sign.)

what is it with MV's ads? What the heck is this heart ad with the man's hairy chest with what looks like a boner in the middle of it? MV, please get better ads, I don't like ad blocking!

I must say, this place does have its share of right-wing agitators. As a card-carrying moderate, or moderate wannabe on certain issues, I say that we can use a good left-wing agitator. It's a volunteer position to start, so no pay, but if you prove yourself worthy, you could earn a permanent place.

We should have some balance in our BellGab wingnuttery and rekcuf has volunteered to fight to the death to ensure that we keep this delicate balance safe for our grandchildren. Paladin is thinking about committing to defend balanced wingnuttery too, but it's going to be a real bitch getting the Army and Marines to cooperate. I'm thinking of having them trade uniforms to sort of get in the spirit.

Just prepare for continued and relentless attack. If you need to call for air support, be sure to mind all of us civilians in the target area.

It is but I make sure to fly the Socialist flag  Some people say it interferes with me being the Queen/Empress of Bellgab but I make it work with my delicate skill of balance and love.

Any level of higher education requires the ability to communicate effectively through written language.  You dismissing this basic fact only shows how full of shit you are and only underscores your own attempts to prove to people you are someone you are clearly not.

Hmmmm. On this point (and I have no liking for Laserjock) you're wrong. My younger brother works for Sony in the UK; he was on the very small team (and it's main engineer) that wrote the low level firmware for the Playstation 3, first Blueray player and later recorder, and currently TV projects. He's previously worked in writing military software applications to a very high level of security...

His writing is almost illegible. Not everyone is a polymath, and a high proportion of technically trained people have a block with the written word, although they're able to do their job very well indeed.

And Trump is a dangerous megalomaniac, and if he is elected Pres, I'll give it about three months before his advocates start distancing themselves from their catastrophic decision to vote for him.

I'm typing from a small screen right now, but I find it hypocritical to be the focus of language arguments when so many wing nuts here have no grasp of homonyms and basic grammar yet get a free pass from him and others...  I did take a language/journalism class two years ago and was one of only three that received an A for my efforts.

Back in technical school my professors said I was the top student with lab reports, and at the job, I was the one they chose to write concise procedures for the entire lab.

LJ; stop. You're digging a hole and you're making it deeper. It's irrelevant if you're telling the truth or not, those who don't like you will pile on you regardless. Up to you, but that's my advice.

[laserjock]

Advice taken! I know how to listen and do accept data from others...

I'm also very hungry right now, and when I'm hungry I'm a bear.

I don't think that I ever said much when people called Arts woman a "child bride" or almost any other crap.  I only bothered this time because it is fun to observe somebody who used to live up Arts ass suddenly decide that he is a racist nazi with a child bride who is a greedy horrible person all because he likes Trump (for the record, I said yesterday here that Trump may be the worst thing that could happen to America and the world.)

I am not a Trump supporter- but damn... it is a whole different level of fucked up to believe that you have all the answers and outright hate and despise those who disagree with you (isn't that what we are supposed to generally accuse Trump supporters of doing to those who they disagree with?  Being blinded by rage and hatred and not listening...)

I love laughing at both those on the left and the right so blinded by their hatred of the other that they hate at a personal level those who disagree with them.  It's kind of amusing...

Have you noticed how much better George sounds these days?
I think he gets better every day.

[albrecht]

He gets back from "big events" and can sound better. He definitely sounded better when he found out Art quit and he has had a few new callers. But, nah, not much. You missed out on the mortician, George. Imagine the questions and speculation possibilities!

The bolded part represents one of the major problems of Liberal thinking. You got an 'A' for your effort. Not for the outcome of your work but for...Effort.

everyone wins. lets have a tropheys for all and now racial quotas for talk shows .,..Just because.

By you're line of thinking how does
"Black entertainment channel", 'Black miss america" , "national association of BLACK journalists", Black only scholarships and racial profiling to hire BLACKS and give them college entrance not based on merit but skin color.

Oh yeah...Evil white man. Wanting people to be judged on merit- Thats racist. Liberals will tell us we MUST judge by skin color (or whether they are a man who sucks dick or wears a dress )because of ...reasons.

The only places slavery still exists today is in what Nations? The white ones?

Motherfucker, you libs are the most racist group ive ever seen. Your only argument is "thats racist..Thats sexist"- We try to defend our jobs and borders and its racist? Fuck you and fuck being nice anymore.

Thats why many of us have given in and started saying faggot and racial words I wont repeat since itll piss MV off. because were constantly accused of it anyhow so fuck it. the reality is we are the non judgmental ones- Over trivial things like sexual preference and race. Your entire political belief structure is based on identity politics, sex and race. Without you have no leg to stand on.

[WOTR]

I suppose one last thing on this long, pointless subject.  You really ought to register under a new name if you are going to hate somebody over politics and then attack them personally after loving them openly.  At least if you don't want to come off as screwed up.  I was looking for a couple of examples of the "we both love great women, Art" but gave up after finding a few other gems... I suppose that the offer to meet Art at the airport has been withdrawn based on his endorsement of Trump?

Art, congratulations and best wishes on your venture.  Thank you for caring about us as much as we care about you. If you ever decide to go to Cebu my wife there will most assuradley meet you at the airport and show you around if you aren't familiar with the city...

Art:  I think the fact so many people care and want to help you with your back suffering speaks about how important you are to us...

I love Art and hold him in very high estimation...
He found a good wife after losing the wonderful Romona (he's really twice blessed), he's very lucky about that, but he's paid his dues having been in other marriages...

Art, I messed up my back too, hurts, but hopefully mine is temporary...
Finally, Art, if I start a shortwave/HAM thread, would you be willing to discuss HAM hardware, methods, and such?  My dear BIL just got his license and we'd love to know about that stuff and how we can catch you (when do you come on for CQs).  I don't have a HAM but my BIL has gotten me really interested in it, so I'm at least extremely curious about the technology.

By the way, I still have not figured out what a BIL is...

Oh it goes further than that, almost to an art form; "You like/dislike a,b and c, so that means you must also like/dislike x,y and z"  I've never known where that comes from. Is it an American thing?

On a political level, I accept that any side (we have more than two in the UK) trying to convince the electorate to vote for them, may have valid points on certain topics. It doesn't mean I'd vote for them. I try to weigh up the law of averages; but with certain potential politicians (or even sitting ones) I have absolutely no time for.

Before Tony Blair was elected leader of his party (Labour), was a widely respected (by all sides) leader by the name of John Smith (yes really); a softly spoken Scot of great intellect and principles. It was one of the very few times I was choked at the death of a politician, Mo Mowlem was the other, now she was a giant of politics. When John Smith died, the then PM, John Major said in an emotional address to parliament "Yes, we had our battles, but there were no bruises"

Churchill, was for me the finest PM this country could have had at the time he was PM.
