Tonight on “The David Goldstein Show”, 7PM to 10PM on Newsradio 710-KIRO:
7PM: The Stranger Hour with Dan Savage
Stranger Editor and nationally syndicated sex columnist Dan Savage joins me for the hour. Rumor has it Dan might be gay, so perhaps we’ll talk about gay issues (you know, antiquing, musical theater, anal sex… stuff like that,) or maybe we’ll do our usual recap of the week’s news and other issues of the day. We’ll see.
8PM: Everything I need to know in life I learned from television
Parents want to give their children every advantage, so no wonder so many put their babies in front of “educational” videos like Baby Einstein and Brainy Baby that promised to give kids a leg up. Now a new study shows that babies who watch these videos actually learn fewer words than their counterparts. Is TV an educational tool, or just an electronic babysitter? Did TV make you and your kids stupid, or better informed. American Academy of Pediatrics spokesperson Dr. Ari Brown joins us to give us her take on the new study, and why the Academy does not recommend television for children under the age of two.
9PM: What’s up South and East of the border?
Julie from Idaho’s Red State Rebels and TJ from Loaded Orygun join me for the hour for a round table round up of regional news and politics.
Tune in tonight (or listen to the live stream) and give me a call: 1-877-710-KIRO (5476).
PROGRAMMING NOTE:
My show will be preempted by Seahawks preseason games tomorrow and next Saturday.
I’m calling in
Hey Goldy – I DARE you to talk about the “Fairness Doctrine”. Hillary Clinton and Trent Lott’s assault on the First Amendement.
Let’s take a specific example… let’s say that Rush Limbaugh plays a clip from Ted The Swimmer and then refutes the idiocy of what TTS says.
Is that a perfectly balanced presentation? Or does that require that station owners let some fucking idiot like you present the kookball perspective.
Or let’s say that you do your usual dicksucking of “No Rocket Scientist” Murray or of Baghdad Jim. Should KIRO then be forced to give Mark The Redneck-Goldstein “equal time” to tell the actual truth?
Hey Mark the Simpleton, I’ve been waiting for more engineering analysis based in headlines. Impress me with your PE.
I’m guessing you’re a gym teacher.
you know, antiquing, musical theater, anal sex… stuff like that,
Perfect for Stamn and many Republican these days.
Example.
Especially perfect for MTR the bet welsher.
K – I have no need to “impress” you.
Part of being a Professional is to disregard the musings of unqualified dumshit amateurs like you. My credentials speak for themselves.
Dumfuckingass…
Part of being a professional is acting like one. You certainly do not. You make wild statements based on incomplete reports. Your most frequent conclusion is to blame women. You present half facts or blatent inaccuracies and when called on it you ignore it.
You, sir, demonstrate no evidence of being a professional.
You do exhibit the characteristics of a simpleton.
K, P. E.
K – I blame incompetent people such as Tamara Hardy who was hired to fulfill a vagina quota rather than being force to demonstrate competence in the field. In that case, an innocent white man in Bellevue died.
Yeah, I have a problem with that.
dumfuckinshit…
K@7 MarktheRetarded© is a professional, Professional AssHole!.
WHat data do you have? Do you have any direct experience with the media? Do you know how they put together the reports upon which you base your opinion? I expect not.
A professional engineer’s first obligation is to his or her profession. You are a disgrace to yours.
Hardy was the Safety Director. Our organization also has a safety officer. That individual has absolutely no responsibility for design review or construction oversight. I expect neither did Hardy. We have professional engineers responsible for design and construction management.
Mark the Simpleton @ 8
Would you have been as outraged if a woman, or non-white male were killed?
Just wondering
you know, antiquing, musical theater, anal sex… stuff like that,
It’s the latest lasting craze among Republicans. However it has a Republican flavor to it – authoritarian and non-consensual.
In short, it’s rape.
Again, example.
My credentials speak for themselves.
1) Head up the ass
2) Bet-welsher
Ask Dan Savage, America’s favorite cocksucker, if he feels any personal responsibility for the carnage in the Iraq War that he so enthusiastically promoted.

re 14: He’s a space cowboy, bet you weren’t ready for that?
Where have all the cowboys gone, these days? Well, they’re with the cows.
Makes sense if you don’t have a head to contain a brain.
@15
After reading the Stephen King book Gerald’s Game you just can’t listen to the song Space Cowboy any more.
“Where have all the cowboys gone these days” Paula Cole? Or am I on some other planet with my guesses?
re 16: Well, why don’t you apply your abundant grey-matter to this idea?!?1

It’s the battle of the Larry’s over in I-d-hoe and my-o-my are the R’s going to have to spend their grand-daddies legacy cash to hold on to that seat.
Senator Craig is queer as a three dollar bill, btw. So much for family values… Google it if you don’t believe me.
@2 “assault on the First Amendement”
How do you figure that? The public owns the airwaves, so the public has the right to regulate what they’re used for.
Mark, don’t forget the next Bund meeting. We’re choosing a new Fuhrer. Be there.
Joel Connelly, I understand the Print media antipathy to the blogosphere. It was evident from your assignment at YearlyKos, and you had nothing to say. Nothing. And to your response to Goldy’s thread about Reichert’s very special environmental initatives, which are, well, suspect. Very suspect. Joel, don’t be such a frickin’ moderate. You, above most, know better.

In Month Before Labor Day, Pointless ‘Filler’ Columns Abound
Lazy Columnists Pad Out Stories by Quoting Experts, Experts Say
In a phenomenon that occurs every year in the month before Labor Day, national columnists across America file pointless, content-free “filler” columns, enabling the lazy scribes to hit the beach earlier, according to observers who have been following this trend.
The “filler” columns are churned out in a matter of minutes with no loftier goal than meeting a deadline and filling up space — meaning that columnists will often resort to using the same words or phrase again and again and again and again and again.
And rather than doing any original writing, the slothful columnists will rely on so-called “experts” to supply them with quotes to fill up space, experts say.
“They’ll often quote people you’ve never heard of,” says Harold Crimmins, an expert in the field of filler columns. “It’s pretty shameless.”
The typical “filler” column is often a reprint of a previously published column, but the writer will later plug in one cursory reference to current events, such as the DUI arrest of actress Lindsay Lohan, to disguise this fact.
And in order to fill up space even faster, Crimmins says, the lazy beach-bound columnist will compose his summer “filler” columns with short paragraphs.
Many of these paragraphs will be as short as one sentence, he says.
“Or shorter,” he adds.
There are other telltale signs a reader can look for in order to determine whether a writer has, in fact, filed a so-called “filler” column, according to Crimmins.
One of these is a tendency to repeat information that the reader has already read earlier in the article, with columnists even stooping to using the same quote twice.
“They’ll often quote people you’ve never heard of,” Crimmins says.
Another tip-off is if the column ends abruptly.

Cool, when are we going to get rid of NBC,CBS,ABC,CNN,MSNBC and PBS. While we are at it, we need to ban all liberal teachers from all public institutions. Then, and only then, we can talk about the (un)fairness doctrine. When do we start.
The (un)fairness doctrine is a lost cause anyways. If it is ever passed the radio shows will all be named News shows and will be exempt from the (un)fairness doctrine. It’s just as well, the liberals call their propaganda news, why can’t we.
When ‘Dan Rather’ shows up, you know the thread is dead.

ah, there I am. Just being moderated. Thanks,all.
SeattleDan,
Sorry about the delay in freeing your comment. I wasn’t near a computer until a little bit ago.
#4 YLB says:
Only a homophobe would consider being gay an insult. I wonder why YLB uses it so often.
#33 Dan Rather says:
Isn’t headless lucy biker an admitted socialist teacher?
I’m not surprised she lives in Issaquah, which ranks 25th of 522 areas in the state of Washington for affluence. Of course the racial mix is what I would expect for a socialist to live in, 87.98% white, 0.88% African American. Typical of the left these days, above average $$ and lives in white neighborhoods.
Only a homophobe would consider being gay an insult.
Hey Stamn. I was just reporting. Republicans are forcing gay sex on other Republicans. It’s in the news. It’s not only illegal, it’s hypocrisy.
But all of that is lost on you.
It’s none of my business what consenting adults do behind closed doors.
#41 YLB says:
If it’s illegal, put the offenders in jail for life. I welcome that.
Since you called me out by name, do you have any proof I’ve had gay sex of forced gay sex on anyone. Or hell, that I’m even a pulbican? Of course you don’t, you simplemindedly assume I would have the same aversion to gay people you do, sorry, I don’t. All you did was expose yourself for being a hater. Shame on you.
Stamn. You support the Republicans. You do this in two ways.
1) You attack Democrats, the same people who will be tasked with cleaning up the Republican’s mess. You say you criticize Republicans but all we have is your word which is worth almost less than nothing at this point.
2) You work to split the Democratic vote so Republicans can get elected.
By reporting the crimes and hypocrisy of Republicans, I’m only pointing out the moral bankruptcy of your actions and the views you’ve expressed here.
Make no mistake YOU have chosen to support the Republicans.
Stamn in effect you have behaved EXACTLY like any other right wing Republican troll on this comment board.
You’ve promulgated smears against the Dem-leaning people here and promoted pro-Republican talking points.
You are a morally bankrupt tool of the Republicans. I’m calling it as I see it. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out if you’re paid to carry on this “independent” schtick of yours.
I’m through with you tool
#43YLB says:
For one, it’s not a given that democrats will be in the white house. It was blue dog democrats that propelled the dems into a majority in the house, add on that the democrats haven’t done much so far except more of the same old crap the publicans were doing, their base is starting to erode. Ratings for congress are at an all time low, even lower than bush’s ratings. Hillary will be the greatest recruiting tool the publicans have. The democrats climb back into majority were on slim margins, there were no blowouts, thus the country is still split pretty even between the 2 major parties. Good news about the war is starting to filter in on the liberal channels, no doubt to help hillary win the general election but like clyburn said, good news about the war is bad news for the democrats.
So if you were to report on the democrats crimes and moral indiscretions, you would be working to dividing the democrats. Ouch. Sounds like your party feels they can’t take criticism. Well, welcome to the real world, your party is as corrupt as the publicans.
My actions? Once again the personal attacks. What is it about your beliefs that cause you to fear an opposing view?
My posting of the democrats crimes and moral bankruptcy prove that both parties are the same.
#44 YLB says:
Damn, I’ve been exposed, there goes my commission. No more checks from URS Corp.
45 – More talking points! You get paid by the point?
Both parties are not the same. Not even close. That’s a lie.
You’re living in a total dream land about the Losertarians. So divorced from reality a sane person can only conclude it’s a lie.
Have a great life Stamn. I’m not getting paid for this like you are.
For the sane among us, the following is a link to a picture of an ad for an outfit who hires tools like Stamn:
http://img107.imageshack.us/my.....ollmu5.jpg
#47 YLB says:
Let’s see, the talking point you are alluding to is URS Corp, owned by the husband of Diane Feinstein. The company profited from both the war and from Dianne Feinstein’s position on the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee.
And that’s different from cheny/halliburton because??? Besides the fact she’s a democrat.
Stamn is just another moron. Just scroll past him and save all the space. Likewise Dan the religious nut posing as Jane’s dog, etc…
They just want us to interact with them. Not only is it a total waste of time scolling past them to see what real people have to say,they just stir the pot with he same inflammatory shit constantly. Why give them the attention they crave?
Why encourage vandalism?
Why give them the attention they crave? Why encourage vandalism?
Because otherwise this would be a boring (much more boring) insignificant little site with a bunch of no-brain leftys screaming dirty words at each other and high-fiving over the perfect recitation of Kos talking points. You need Conservatives and Christians and pro-lifers and the patriotic America supproters to give your meager little existance a reason for being.
Why give them the attention they crave?
Well I hope my interaction shows what hollow shills they are.
I’m getting the impression that paid trolling is getting more sophisticated and better compensated. One troll here (not Stamn) is a pretty hateful and slippery character maximizing and optimizing his bile over multiple targets.
It’s a worrying trend but the end is always the same – shooting the messengers whether it’s the advocate like Goldy or his loyal readers and commenters.
It’s getting uglier and I’ve noticed it happening in other places like the Daily Kos.
DigginDude! Hey in another life you were a liberal commenter here.
In reality you’re an old timer troll stealing DigginDude’s handle. You’ve now long been on the receiving end of the failure of right wing politics.
Why can’t you use your old right-wing handle? Is it Proud Ass? Xmas Crank?
C’mon give it up. We’ll relive old times. The election contest. I-912. David Irons Jr. Nov 2006.
In other words:
We win.
You lose.
#52 YLB says:
Not me? Damn, I gotta try harder. Did you know headless lucy hates me, really hates me, doesn’t that give me any troll cred?
#50 chadt says:
Scroll past to see how someone else writes “bush sucks” or maybe “publicans sucks?” It’s all the same hate, nothing new, not even creative ways of saying “I hate you” like headless lucy. Even you calling me a moron, typical childish name calling like so many others on here.
Admit it, if it wasn’t for us trolls it would be hard to top the hate of the other posters.
I will admit that on local issues the viewpoints are better thought out and not of one train of thought. Kudos.
I’m sure this is going to give a lot of you grief, I own about 40 acres outside Ione. If it wasn’t for Beleize, I would retire up there, beautiful country.
Doesn’t give me any grief at all. It’s fictional. If you were able to retire to either place you wouldn’t need to be telling everybody. It’s a dead giveaway that you’re a loser trying to spin some fantasy life here to get attention. Why else come here to antagonize the regulars?
You’re just a psychopath trying to have a little power by vandalizing the joint.
#56 chadt says:
Fictional, okay if that makes you feel safer. After you, you again resorted to name calling, calling me a psychopath so whatever you can do to make yourself feel safer go ahead. I’m telling you because I know some on this board will be upset by it, thinking someone like me might be moving to their state. Too bad I can’t afford to live in the lily white affluent suburb of Issaquah. Did you know that Issaquah has a black population of 0.88%? That just about covers the parking valets and wait staff at the restaurants.
I come here to share a viewpoint that is not represented on this board. Of course, a differing opinion is called antagonizing by you.
Something I find funny, I don’t remember resorting to name calling or telling anyone I’ve never met that I hate them on horsesass. Too bad your ilk can’t say the same thing.
#52 YLB says:
It’s much uglier at dailykos. And they don’t allow opposing viewpoints. Post a non-traditional democrat talking point and your ass is kicked off, ala Cindy Sheehan. Kudos to horesesass for letting us trolls post.
And they don’t allow opposing viewpoints. Post a non-traditional democrat talking point and your ass is kicked off, ala Cindy Sheehan.
Three lies in one sentence.
letting us trolls post.
Better go to your right-wing doctor, Stamn. You’re coming down with some kind of truth bug.
doesn’t that give me any troll cred?
Not a drop.
