I like Dave Ross precisely because he doesn't work the party line. I find Goldstein's show a bit annoying. Seriously--we are all very lucky to have Dave in this city.

Fremont

Speaking of annoying....the Head-on commercial wins! It makes no claims, therefore is not liable for anything! But, we all know what it says....brilliant advertising? (Doncha just love YouTube?)

joanie

See what all this religiosity has generated? I wish we lived in a truly secular society. Mike Malloy is so funny tonight! Black humor I agree. I'm listening on-line. I didn't know Las Vegas had made it illegal to feed homeless people.

So much for private charity. I guess we're getting to the point where we should just kill everybody who doesn't fit the Biblical version of saved people. (That being having a roof over your head, enough to eat without asking for charity, enough saved to survive earthquakes and hurricanes, and attending church on Sunday even if you cheat on Monday like Reed and Sweigert.) If Jesus came back and was a homeless person, he'd be effin' out of luck. He'd starve to death if he wasn't lynched first.

And for the record, I admired Jesus. I try to be like him.

Ryder

If Jesus came back today I don't know who would kill him first, the politicians or the church.

snoutcounter

on friday,s dori show he had 15 mins for open air to talk about anything during the week so i jumped all over the chance to call Dori on his feckless interveiw on thur about the harm to children,so when they cone back from break sorry folks no time for calls because Ron and Bomb came in to talk about the cost of milkshakes and burgers. Alas i used my real name so i have no doubt ihave reached ban status on dori's show

Fremont

I'd have anyone named "snoutcounter" on my show any time! Please tell me that's your real name....

Cool Papa E

Hey gang! Anyone hear what is going on with my favorite, Robin and Maynard? Seems a little odd they not being on the air for this long...

joanie

If anybody's out there, John Dean is talking about his book "Conservatives without Conscience" on CSpan now. He's talking about two studies showing that some people will follow without thinking much like happened in Germany during Nazi-ism.

Pretty interesting. Even if you don't agree, listen to see what has to say. He talked about the Madam-gate thing and his wife as well.

snoutcounter

the real name is Rusty ...in tacona

Shiers Calls Joanie an idiot! (T8 News Service) Just moments ago Frank Shiers said the following on his KIRO radio talk program- "Now let me preface my remarks with this, before Joanie or some other idiot rushes to their computer to get on some website and call me a racist...." Shiers made the comments in connection with critical remarks about radical Muslims in relationship to Friday's hate crime shooting at the Jewish Federation of Seattle.

sparky

Darnit Joanie, thats TWICE you got mentioned on Frank's show. I want equal time.

What does rubbing a glue stick on your forehead do to help your headache??

Why does anyone still listen to KIRO?

When religion ruled the world it was called The Dark Ages.

JDB

Blathering Mike:

All day Friday Medved was saying that Dumb and Dumber had the number one morning (either conservative or talk) show in Seattle. Any truth to this? Who the hell tunes in to KTTH and listens to Sytman and Boze unless they want a good laugh?

joanie

Let me know when Dave mentions my name, then I'll know I've made the big time. . . (yawn)

I think Frank is still feeling guilty for giving airtime to that fraud of a climatologist who isn't even respected by his colleagues at OSU! So much for integrity. God only knows what misinformation Frank dispersed today . . .

Thanks, Tommy! T8 = "gr'eight' news service!

joanie

Sparky, perhaps rubbing a glue stick (lol) on your forehead equals a sort-of expensive forehead massage. What do ya think? Maybe it works . . .

Also, did you see the NYTimes online pic? "Evangelical Pastor Disowns Conservative Politics" There's a video that goes with it. There may be some hope afterall . . .

Tommy008

Poor Frankie. He can't hep it. He juast admitted tonight that Papa Shiers used to knock him off his chair for spilling his milk at the dinner table. That's why he's such a mean nasty little rat.

Tommy008

This just in- The Committee to Name the Bastard has called for an extroardinary one-day special session to be held by the Washington state legislature to outlaw Frank Shiers from saying "Craaa-aazy Brian Styble" on the state's radio airwaves. "This proposed law would require Shiers to immediately cease and desist from using this asinine and supremely annoying phrase on the air, under penalty of a six-month jail sentence, in the interest of public decency," a spokesman for the Committee said.

joanie

Maybe that should read "cheap" forehead massage . . .

Better be careful, Tommy, or you'll be the next to be named.

Actually, if you're reading this, Frank, I'm sorry your daddy knocked you for spilling your milk. Sometimes judges are a little stricter than they need to be . . . you should have some empathy for people less fortunate that you. I think liberals must have had very kind forgiving parents. And I think your daddy was a good one . . . would never dis your dad. But a little too hard on ya maybe?

PS: Thanks for making me famous! :)

"All art is nonsense" -- Is this quote something Dori actually said?

Not that I really need anything more to convince myself what a total jerk he is...

Tommy008

I've heard Shiers say he doesn't believe in global warming. Someone said that in the fifties and sixties and maybe even more recently Chinese fan palms ( the only palm tree that survives up here) wouldn't grow in Seattle,but that now because of global warming, you see them all over town here. Can anyone verify this. Being a native, I was here in the fifties and sixties and I certainly don't remember seeing any Chinese fan palms.

Tommy008

Actually Moose Monson said "most art is utter nonsense" , which is really a distinction without a difference. Anyone who would say that is an "utter" fool.

joanie

Tommy, I'm a native too. When was the last time you saw a really good winter snowfall? I miss 'em.

joanie

Surfing some different Arab sites and found "Angry Arab" and this "Palestinian Pundit"

The pundit site shows a street sign in Germany that is provacative to say the least. There is so much to know if people are willing to search. Americans are very protected from what is going on in the world.

joanie

Thanks, James, for the correction of the location of the sign - Finland rather than Germany - in the Palestinian Pundit link. I appreciate it!

Lynne

(We don't like to talk about 2nd tier talker Frank Shiers (KIRO Saturdays, 7-10p; Sundays, 4-7p) much, because we don't like to listen to him much. But we did hear him complain because we call him "smarmy." We won't evah call you that again if you nevah, evah laugh again at something you don't really think is funny. Deal?)

I am glad that I am not the only one that can't stand this dude. If there were liberals in a movie theater, he would yell fire.

lukobe

oh Frank isn't THAT bad

snoutcounter

amazing that so many people who can't stand his show know so much about it.....

sparky

Yep..lucky for me my radio gets other stations! I am not forced to listen to him

joanie

Now, now . . . some of us have KIRO on and just leave it on until we can't stand anymore. We're not surfers. . . we're loyal! But, they do drive us away eventually - at least some of them do.

We are liberals - right? We tolerate until intolerable! Then we finally get up and change it . . .

or if you are lucky enough to have remote control, you change it sooner!

      Games and sports-blabber

    • KUOW FM 94.9
      Seattle's foremost public radio news and talk.
    • KVI am 570 KHz
      Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits. Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear.
    • KTTH am 770 KHz
      Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze.
    • KPTK am 1090 KHz
      Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial.
    • KLFE AM 1590 kHz
      Syndicated right-wing 2nd stringers like Mark Levin, Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt inhabit this timid-voiced neighbor honker for your radio enjoyment (unless you're behind something large like Costco).

      News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
    • Washington State Radio Stations
      Comprehensive list of every danged AM & FM station on the dial.
