Podcasting Goldy

by — ,

Missed last night’s show? Starting last week, 710-KIRO is now podcasting my eponymously named “David Goldstein Show” so you can listen to me rant and rave at your leisure. Each commercial-free hour comes in at a manageable 35 minutes.

Hour 1: Is it time to stop electing judges? Former WA State Insurance Commissioner Deborah Senn joined me to discuss the hundreds of millions of dollars the US Chamber of Commerce is spending to influence local judicial races, and what we can possibly do to stop a corporatist takeover of our courts.

Hour 2: Tunnel, rebuild or no-build… can we afford to replace the Alaska Way Viaduct? The Stranger’s senior political correspondent Erica C. Barnett joined me in the studio to discuss the stunning new cost estimates on the Viaduct and 520 Floating Bridge replacement projects, while represents from the People’s Waterfront Coalition and the Sierra Club phoned in to present the case for a surface-street option.

Hour 3: Is torture an American value? National blogger Dave Neiwert joined me to discuss pending legislation that would permit the US soldiers and intelligence officers to commit acts of torture banned by international law and accepted norms of common decency.

We will soon make full archives available online at PodcastingLiberally.com, where you can always find my weekly podcast for the Seattle chapter of Drinking Liberally.

    One fact: The dead Muuuuuuuuuuslim terrorists are no longer a problem. The Muuuuuuuuslim terrorist solution: Use Trident subs rather than 18 year old Marines. One Trident will solve the Muuuuuuuuslim terroist problem in one day.

    “Is torture an American value?” [Goldysteinburg]…………………..No, But using “nukes” to kick the shit out of our enemies to end a war is!!! It works EVERY time it is tried!!!!!

    Now that republican generals are saying that chickenshit chickenhawk George is full of shit in Iraq, I can’t wait for the traitors on the right to start spinning this.

    Fortunately, most Americans are NOT the children of brother and sister like most republicans are and most are NOT going to believe that ALL this information from the latest NIE to the generals to Bush’s own party distancing itself from him is a fluke. The GOP is going down hard and I can’t wait until we get control of the House. Then maybe we can get a law that lets us hunt right wingers like the dogs they are.

    When the Mars rovers Opportunity and Spirit reached their distant destination in early 2004, NASA scientists hoped the vehicles would probe the planet’s frigid landscape for 90 days before they pooped out or were undone by the harsh Martian environment. More than 900 days later, however, both robotic explorers are going strong– and Opportunity is on the cusp of what is likely to be its greatest accomplishment.

    republican generals are saying that chickenshit chickenhawk George is full of shit in Iraq

    Actually they said Field Marshall Rumsfeld was full of shit in Iraq which those of us with any functional brain cells knew several years ago. The fact that Geo. Bush couldn`t fulfill his contract with the armed forces of the U.S.A. (TexAS Air Guard) just demonstrates he is also a chicken.

    Oh, and for all you whiney trolls ranting about military service (which you don`t know jack shit about), don`t bother your little ejaculate stained hands because I served my contract in full; NOTE the Honorable Discharge with the Eagle, Globe and Anchor at the top

    Geo Bush & all his little fratchild chickenshit buddies are SCUM

    Comprende ?

    So Darcy still gets her $4000 and at the end of the day, we’ll know whether or not the Mansion can be used by Dems or Repubs (if they ever manage to steal the office like they tried to do last time.) I see only Dem winners here.

    And by the way, Dickey looked like the kind of guy that you’d expect to see on McNeil Island. What a fucking freak!

  14. 14

    I’m not a fan of Rumsfield, but I haven’t seen any Republican Generals slamming him either.

    There were several Democratic Generals slamming him…… sponsored by Democratic legislators.

    Democratic grand-standing – nothing more – nothing less!

    I have one question for all the right wing tools that post here. Do you, or do you not support Donald Rumsfeld?

    Here is what GENERAL BAPTISTE had to say about North, South, East, and West of Baghdad Rummy.

    ““Secretary Rumsfeld ignored 12 years of U.S. Central Command deliberate planning and strategy, dismissed honest dissent, and browbeat subordinates to build ‘his plan,’” retired Maj. Gen. John Batiste told several senior Democratic senators and Republican Rep. Walter B. Jones (N.C.), who attended the hearing.

    “Bottom line: his plan allowed the insurgency to take root and metastasize to where it is today,” Batiste said.
    ”

    When it comes to causing disasters, you support our leaders 100% right?

    Don’t worry. Your children will all be coming home in coffins for generations from the stupidity of the Bush Administration.

    If you don’t mind burying your children, vote Republican. The undertakers need the business.

    Freaks.

    I’m not a fan of Rumsfield, but I haven’t seen any Republican Generals slamming him either.

    There were several Democratic Generals slamming him…… sponsored by Democratic legislators.

    ———-

    So I see you call Generals “Democrats” when they tell the truth right? I guess the lying ones would all have to be Republicans right? Just remember Last Throes Cheney. Someone that stupid could only be a Republican. And in charge.

    Just shut up and start planning for the funerals of your kids in the service. No victory could ever be possible with the Bush Crime Family in charge. Total Chaos.

    And to think 5 years ago the world respected us. Now we can’t even put the American Flag on our soccer team’s bus for fear “regular people” might attack it in Europe. (not terrorists)

    Did I really look that bad? I haven’t watched King 5 yet, but I have tried to look at the video clip from their website, but it won’t play for me for some reason.

    So, where did you find your information about them being Democrats? I remember Shinseki (sp?) saying he had always voted Republican but there he was on stage with Kerry. . .

    So, I’d like to see your proof that they are all Dems. Not arguing cause I don’t know. But, I’d like to know . . .

    Any objective comments from people who aren’t Richard Pope haters already? Did King-5 edit out the comments that I said which were the most supportive of the Governor? Probably did. I was really nervous, since I wanted to be fair and objective in my comments, and not overly critical of the Governor. I really think she made the right decision. And Darcy Burner’s supporters deserve a LOT OF CREDIT for allowing the Governor a dignified resolution of the situation. The Governor was a bit defensive, but she made the right decision — which is what counts.

    Can someone PLEASE save me a videotape of the 11 pm KING-5 newscast, since no one can get their videos to work on-line?

    JCH at 46,

    You know, JCH, you are personally responsible for 25% of the posts here at HA. Of those posts, hundreds really, you mention my husband in 95% of them. What is your fascination with him? How he must invade and control your thoughts. Just like with proudass.

    You come here bragging about Doctor JCH, Lt. JCH, rich man JCH, driving a Vette JCH. (penis compensation car, by the way)

    I think it is time you understood just a little about the man you are trying to aggravate, intimidate, denigrate harass and annoy, both personally and professionally.

    The first thing you need to know is that you don’t succeed at any of the above. This mans character is absolutely unshakable. He considers this blog entertainment. His favorite part of this entertainment is using swear words and then sitting back waiting for the folks on your side of the political isle to go nuts. You never disappoint. You and proudass in particular focus on the cursing. Something he rarely does and never, ever in front of me. Always a gentleman in public and private. Some see him as a formidable adversary. You and others on this blog fit the latter category.

    This man I married is humble, strong and honor bound. His character is unassailable. All of these qualities you seem to be, judging by your posts, missing.

    Professionally he is/was a soldier. I come from what some would call privilege. My husband did not. Yet, in this marriage, I am the one who married up. College graduate, MBA, Army Ranger and Navy Seal team training. There is more training that he does not talk about. All of this as an officer, JCH. He volunteered for all of his assignments, never once did he refuse a request from his country. Never once did he beg off or back down from a challenge. Did you know that the Seal Team patch is the only insignia that can be worn cross-branch in the military?

    He saw, what he calls combat theater and what I call killing, in Panama, Afghanistan and Iraq. Multiple times, JCH. He did not throw-up in his mask and quit. I see the scars on his legs, arms, back and chest. I see the man you don’t. The one you are not fit to stand next to. The one who would like to meet you, not to hurt you as you clearly fear, but in an effort to understand you, with open discussion and exchange. I see a man torn by not being with his men. I see a man who wants to change the world, still. He never thinks he has given enough or done enough. I love him more than life, JCH. You have a singular ability to traduce a lone sentence of a post. Have at it, JCH. Make fun of my devotion to him. Make fun of his swearing. Make fun of his animals. Make fun of what you don’t know, JCH. when you do this, you are only making fun of yourself, showing everyone here the truly depraved, tortured. addled soul with which you are blighted.

    You can mock us all you want, JCH. It is just petty jealousy. We live a fairy tale life. We are thankful for it. We give back, but it is always in the back of my mind that my husband has given enough for two lifetimes. I have made it my mission to convince his son to leave the military, this family has given enough. He is so much like his father. He calls me ma’am and mom. This man that I met when he was 18 and already in the Army, calls me mom. And you scoff at my defense of my husband. You are foolish, JCH.

    The next time you want to attack his politics, try leaving the personal attacks out of it. You have no canon with which to base your attacks. You have no right to speak to anyone the way you do, let alone to one of this country’s heroes, indeed, my hero.

    I am so happy and fortunate to have met my husband at that baseball game. My only regret is that I had not met my husband years sooner, to have even more time with him. I hope he feels the same.

    So you see, JCH, no matter what you say here one thing never changes. No matter how much we wish it would, JCH, the truth never changes.

    Enjoy your evening.

    clap, clap, clap, teresa… you make me gag.

    he may be a gentleman in front of you but I doubt it because he’s a such pig here.

    it’s awfully darn hard to compartmentalize that particularly nasty brand of piggery as you claim he does and I would go so far to say that his behavior anonymously is a fairly good measure of his behavior publicly.

    Until you can reconcile his words that you so courageously defend and blythely dismiss as “entertainment”, you have little room to condem someone as a “depraved, tortured. addled soul”.

    “Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother let me pull the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thine own eye, and then chalt thou see clearly to pull the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.” Luke 6:42

    “The next time you want to attack his politics, try leaving the personal attacks out of it.”

    live what you preach lady:

    You come here bragging about Doctor JCH, Lt. JCH, rich man JCH, driving a Vette JCH. (penis compensation car, by the way)

    Do you honestly think that nasty man you call a husband is the only person here loved?

    Do you honestly believe that the people he attacks and that YOU attack have no honorable history behind them, children, wives, husbands, parents that equally adore them? Do you not think those that love them aren’t evewn the tiniest bit hurt or offended by the words he’s used?

    You need to grow up lady. And carl needs to get a thicker skin and stop sending you to carry his water.

    22, From what I can find here, you are proudass.

    A person who makes empty threats. A person who now quotes the Bible. This same person who tried to cast my husband as a child molester. (Again, this is road you do not want to go down with me). The same person who accused him of threatening her children. The same person who claimed to never have used the term “anything untoward”. The same person who just ignores the proof that you did use the term “anything untoward” and drops the subject when caught.

    You are as full of sanctimony as anyone I have ever had the misfortune to interact with. In addition, you missed the entire point of my post. Your logic is flawed too.

    Online, people can be anyone or anyway they want. It can be an extension of their true personality, or, it can be an alternative personality, wholly made up for your benefit and their enjoyment. You are fond of researching on the internet, maybe you could look up some of the psychological studies that address this subject. I assure you that the latter is case with my husband. I am educated, confident, self-aware and I would have nothing to do with a man who treated me as “less than”. I have the opposite difficulty with my husband. I find it unsettling to be upon the pedestal he has placed me.

    I made no such allegation that others here are not loved. I merely expressed my love for my husband. I am tired of the way people on this blog constantly degrade each other, so I spoke up.(I know my husband has toned his posts down). If you are in a relationship where your partner is not able or willing to express publicly their love for you, that is your disappointment. Making it not my cross to carry.

    JCH has no history, honorable or otherwise, behind him. You don’t know him anymore than you know my husband. You choose to defend him because his politics mimic yours.

    I know that my husband called you some names. I would suggest he is not the one with the thin skin. Do you know the proverb about those living in glass houses should probably not cast stones? As for his skin, he did not ask me to answer for him, I am up late working and decided on my own to post. When he reads it in the morning he will be perturbed with me and my well known stubborn streak, but he will just shake his head and mutter “that’s Teresa”.

    As for you having my name, employer, address, etc. etc… Please, do not make yourself giddy. You have incorrectly deduced, from limited and wrong information, a conclusion that you wanted to find. You did not allow the information to take you to a conclusion regardless of the outcome. Researchers need to be dispassionate, neutral seekers. You certainly don’t qualify.

    As my husband said, you can’t play cards you don’t have.

    By the way, how about posting the WSBA number you have for “me”. It would be my pleasure to let the attorney, whose info you published, know that you have done so and exactly where to find it.

    Sorry, mrs sweetcheeks, I’m well known as a Catholic and Catholics are well known for knowing Catholicism rather than the studying the Bible. From what I can find here, you are proudass A person who makes empty threats. A person who now quotes the Bible.

    Your proof poofed, sweetcheeks.

    Nice try.

    Is it really so hard to imagine there are more than a few that consider your husband a vile ass?

    It shouldn’t be.
