On day three of the media circus that followed the filing of I-831 — my initiative to officially proclaim Tim Eyman a “horse’s ass” — I found myself sitting in the KVI studio with John Carlson, debating Timmy over the phone. I was nervous. And a bit stunned. I’m not sure if John noticed, but I was even shaking a little.
But damn, it was fun.
I never much liked listening to commercial talk radio — too many breaks — but I sure had a great time doing it, and I walked out of John’s studio thinking that I’d sure love to have his job. You know… except for the part about being a right-wing partisan.
Well, I never did get John’s job, but it looks like I just got Turi Ryder’s. 710-KIRO’s management was pleased enough with my performance filling in the 7PM to 10PM slot this past Sunday, that they just gave me the show on a regular basis. I suppose it will be called “The David Goldstein Show” or something. Every Sunday from 7PM to 10PM.
Sorry, Turi. I feel bad getting my foot in the door at your expense. And thank you Turi, for teaching me my first radio biz lesson: never call in sick.
I would also like to sincerely thank KVI’s John Carlson and Kirby Wilbur for being nothing but gracious and courteous to me these past few years. They’re totally wrong on nearly all the issues, but they’ve always been fair and supportive both on and off the air. My frequent appearances on their shows not only gave me my taste for the medium, but helped prepare me for my opportunity when it finally came. That said, someday I hope to compete against one or the other in drive-time, and eat their audience.
Sincere thanks also go to the whole Podcasting Liberally crew, especially to Gavin and Richard for being so generous with both their time and their insanely impressive portable audio studio. The past few months of weekly podcasts have allowed me to grow comfortable in the role of host; when I finally got my shot on-air, it felt just like doing the podcast, only without the beer.
And finally a not quite as sincere thanks to our good friend Stefan Sharkansky. It is ironic to note that it was Stefan’s excerpt of Sandeep saying “fuck” on our podcast, and my subsequent defense of it on my new colleague Dori Monson’s show, that initially perked up the ears of KIRO management. Thank you Stefan for everything you have done to promote my career.

DEMOCRATS MOVE TO STRIP ACCUSED CONGRESSMAN OF POST
Nothing could be clearer than the difference between Democrats and Republicans when a congressman is accused of corruption. Rep. William Jefferson, D-LA, who is under investigation for alleged bribery, was asked by his Democratic colleagues to give up his seat on the Ways and Means Committee. He refused. The Democratic caucus is now taking action to strip him of his committee assignments. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/.....gress.html
And what do Republicans do when one of their own is accused of corruption? They cover it up. They block ethics investigations. They lie. They behave like an organized crime family, like gangsters.

REPUBLICANS KILL PORT SECURITY FUNDING
“By KRISTEN MILLARES BOLT
“P-I REPORTER
“Nearly $650 million to increase scrutiny of containers shipping into Seattle and every other U.S. port was stripped out of a national security funding package moving through Congress this week in a move critics say makes the country more vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
“Opponents of the $648 million for port security said it was too expensive and needed to be cut to satisfy President Bush’s request that the supplemental budget … be brought under control.”
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/.....ers08.html
Yeah — it might interfere with their new $70 billion tax cut for the rich.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Republicans have consistently voted AGAINST national security. Here’s their track record on homeland security:
Nov. 14, 2001: Senate Democrats propose $15 billion for homeland security; the White House warns against “permanent spending on other projects that have nothing to do with stimulus and that will only expand the size of government.”
Dec. 4, 2001: Senate Appropriations Committee votes 29-0 in favor of $13.1 billion for homeland security; the next day, Bush threatens to veto it.
Dec. 6, 2001: Senate Republicans reduce homeland security funding by $4.6 billion.
Dec. 19, 2001: Under pressure from White House, House-Senate conferees eliminate another $200 million of funding for airport security, port security, nuclear facility security, and postal security.
June 7, 2002: Senate votes 71-22 for $8.3 billion of homeland security funding; the next day, Bush’s advisors recommend a veto.
July 19, 2002: Under White House pressure, homeland security funding is further reduced by cutting money for food security, cyber security, nuclear security, airport security, port security, drinking water security, coordination of police and fire radios, and lab testing to detect chem-bio weapons.
Aug. 13, 2002: Bush decides not to spend $2.5 billion appropriated for homeland security on the grounds of “fiscal responsibility.”
Jan. 16, 2003: White House reacts to Democratic efforts to increase homeland security funding by stating, “The Administration strongly opposes amendments to add new extraneous spending.” Later that day, Senate Republicans vote against funds for smallpox vaccine.
Jan. 23, 2003: Senate Republicans cut security funding for the FBI, FEMA, INS, TSA, Coast Guard, and National Nuclear Security Administration.
Feb. 3, 2003: Bush submits a 2004 budget cutting homeland security funding by nearly 2 percent.
Feb. 14, 2003: Senate Democrats request money for smallpox vaccine, police and fire radios, and public transportation security; no Republicans support it.
March 21-25, 2003: Republicans defeat 7 amendments to bolster homeland security.
April 2, 2003: Senate Republicans reject Democratic amendment to provide $1 billion for port security.
April 3, 2003: Republicans reject protection of commercial airliners from shoulder-fired missiles and four other pro-homeland security amendments.
June 2003: House Republicans reject Democratic proposal to raise $1 billion for homeland security by reducing tax cuts for 200,000 millionaires by an average of $5,000 each (from $88,000 to $83,000).

Here is the Democrats’ homeland security plan:
1. Improve our ability to gather, analyze, and share information so we can track down terrorists and stop them before they cause us harm.
2. Better secure our airports, seaports, and borders.
3. Harden likely terrorist targets and critical infrastructure.
4. Improve domestic readiness.
5. Win the war on terror without losing the values of freedom and justice for all that make us proud to be Americans.

CONFIDENTIAL PSYCHIATRIC REPORT
This rabbit presents with multiple personalities. He used to be a Goldwater Republican, and still exhibits some conservative tendencies, such as being in favor of a balanced budget and competent management. However, he reports consistently voting Democratic for the last 40 years.
DIAGNOSIS: Latent schizophrenia with some confusion as to ideological identity; however, this condition appears to be fully resolved, in that the rabbit consistently votes in favor of a balanced budget and competent management. In view of the passage of 40 years with no remission, no treatment is necessary at this time.

Franken Signed Air America’s Payment Pact
By DAVID LOMBINO – Staff Reporter of the Sun
September 7, 2005
The Air America radio network’s biggest star, Al Franken, and its former chairman, Evan Montvel Cohen, were among the signers of a confidential agreement last November that said the network would repay $875,000 to a Bronx nonprofit organization, the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club.
Transfers to Air America from Gloria Wise, for which Mr. Cohen worked as a fund-raiser during the period when he helped launch the liberal network, have surfaced as part of the probe by the city’s Department of Investigation and the state attorney general into “inappropriate transactions” by Gloria Wise. The city has frozen all grants and contracts with the organization, which had an annual budget of $20 million, and many of its programs have been reassigned to other Bronx organizations.

The CIA consistently called attention to the fact we could take him out just about any time to Dickless Cheney and the Chimpster, but they Cynically and consistently refused to. . .he was part of our justification for an illegal invasion of a sovereign country. We gave this terrorist the opportunity to commit atrocities and murders. We created a monster, and finally managed to take him out.

[Proof that the Democrats are racist and hate blacks!!!!!!!]……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..WASHINGTON — Democratic leaders worked to strip embattled Rep. William Jefferson of his committee assignment on Thursday after the Louisiana lawmaker rebuffed repeated calls to step aside pending completion of a federal bribery investigation. Jefferson, at the center of an increasingly complicated legal and political controversy with racial overtones, insisted he would not go quietly. “I can guarantee” he will not voluntarily step aside, said Melanie Roussell, his spokeswoman.

[In Milwaukee Democrats only destroy van tires and then go to court and lie about it!!! Now, Democrat in Colorado,………………………….] Greeley, Colo. (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave’s re-election campaign was already heated, and it just got smelly as well: Her staff accused a Democratic activist Thursday of leaving an envelope full of dog feces at Musgrave’s Greeley office.
Musgrave spokeswoman Shaun Kenney said someone stuffed the envelope through the mail slot in the door on May 31 and then sped away in a car. Kenney said most of the preprinted return address was blacked out, but staffers used the nine-digit ZIP code to trace it to Kathleen Ensz, a Weld County Democratic volunteer.
Ensz told The Associated Press she left the envelope at Musgrave’s office but said it “wasn’t in the office doors, it was in the foyer.” Asked what she meant by the act, she declined comment.

Roger what you support and believe in is what they hate and fear most in life. The only house that could be burning down will be yours and that will be unfortunate for then they will win.

[This report orignally posted to Jesus’ General.]
General, Sir!
As as loyal operative of yours, reporting from here in the treacherous Northwest forests– sylvan glades thoroughly infiltrated with Frenchmen– I must make sad confirmation of your news.
However, the situation here looks even worse than your report suggests, sir! You note that this “Goldy”– who should really be called “Frenchie”, sir– has infiltrated our sacred Talk Radio via the intrigue of one Stephen Sharansky (sometimes known by his false nom de blog, “Stefan Sharkansky’). I know that Mr. S. actually denies the divinity of Our Lord Jeebus, and ignores the Gospel as Given to Saints Thurmond and Helms! That is correct– Mr. S. actually co-habitates with a BROWN woman, who has defiled our pure race by spawning a sortabrown offspring! If those traitorous Francophile ‘Justices’ of 1967 had not inflicted their ‘Loving vs. Virginia’ treason upon us, we would not have to recognize Mr. S.’s foul miscegenation as a ‘marriage’. As you well know, sir, true marriage should be between one man and one woman, until such time as Our Most Holy Lord directh the man to procreate with a nubile young thing, half his years and most guileless. (As you will well recall, Sir Newton of Gingrich lived his life by our most holy ideal!)
My efforts to force Mr. S. and his ‘family’ to relocate to holy cities in Mississippi, Alabama, or Oklahoma have failed, victims of his desire to live the good life in Seattle. The French-loving scoundrels here in the Emerald City have no scruples, and actually WELCOME his abomination of a ‘family’. The perfidy of liberals knows no bounds, sir! We can only hope that the imminent Rapture visits plagues and demons upon this city of sin, prior to toppling that phallic ‘Space Needle’ as a warning to un-believers everywhere!
As a loyal member of your engineer corps, I remain your humble servant,
Paddy Mac

Conservative radio shows tend to attract an older audience ( the O’Geezer Factor ) whose only purpose left in life is to sit on the couch and be outraged, as they can no longer affect anything. The audience for Liberal and/or Conservative radio is what it is. Air America has lost points in NYC, but they are still way ahead of the O’Geezer Factor and the Fathead.
The way to increase audience, then , is by increasing stations that carry your shows. Air America has , in a short time, gone from 5 stations nationwide to 53 stations nationwide. Arbitron ratings will rise and fall, but as lomg as Air America adds stations, their audience ( of active 18 to 54 year olds ) will continue to grow.
