Sam Seder Joins Ring of Fire Radio!

mornin gang!
11:27 am
Morning SJ! And everyone.
Frustration abounds on the Bush Tax Cut Issue.
I say let them expire for all. Problem is the GOP is holding Hostage:
Unemployment benefits extention
DADT
START
and numerous other bills that have already passed in the House.
Maddening!
12:19 pm
Can’t unemployed go on welfare? The only jobs coming “back” to the economy are indentured cotton-pickers!
11:28 am
Morning Jim, how’s the eye?
11:32 am
pretty good!
i’ve always been nearsighted and now i’m farsighted
180 degree change eh?
11:29 am
Maddening as hell, but typical.

WH will argue deal with tax cuts for wealthy was best it could get. Maybe. But this doesn’t absolve it of decisions that led to this point.
11:31 am
its time for the white house to do some scorched earth. let the tax cuts expire. tell the conservatives to go pound sand. and then start issuing executive orders.
obama must know that the drive to impeach him starts as soon as the new house is seated.
12:20 pm
Better to have a 1-term president that fights for the middle class than 2 terms of USA of indentured servant middle class and poor!
11:32 am
and where the hell is the music leading into the show? its frustrating to have to keep hitting the play button over and over and over and over and over and over
11:32 am
Good morning everyone we have snow flurries here today – extra marshmallows in the hot chocolate for everyone !!!
Coffee bar is open! Help yourself.

Hey Sam, are you into This Is Hell? It’s a weekly four-hour radio show/podcast done by a little group of smart people in Chicago. I’ve been listening to it for a year now, and it’s pretty impressive; seems like a show MR people would be into.
11:41 am
It is a good show. Been listening since 2004.
Good guests too!
11:44 am
excellent show.
11:50 am
Oh cool, glad to hear people are into it. I have no idea how many listeners they actually get.
12:26 pm
I’m still looking forward to that naked interview. You know the one…

they rearranged the studio and Sam has some light on him!
tell ya what would be cool, is if we could have the IM’s on these threads.
12:24 pm
yes I can’t get a good experience going with that IM..i’m still on twitter, fb, & blog here! (am not subscribing to U stream but viewing there)
11:45 am
didn’t the conservatives invent the term judeo-christian values to take care of this?
11:53 am
Haha, totally. If you’re going to invent an awkward phrase like that, you might as well use it. I guess they’re…past it? They no longer need help from Jewish politicians/voters?
12:12 pm
this will help them splinter apart, but the war machine in the middle east is always hungry for more conflict.

Sam hosts Hannity…That would be FUNNY.
3:08 pm
WTF. I spend one day being too busy to listen to the show, and Sam goes and announces that he’s going to host Countdown? Luckily I wasn’t hearing it live, because I’d probably cheer if I did, which is frowned on in a business setting.
3:10 pm
The interview with Bill Scher was illuminating and disappointing. As SS said after the interview, “Bill Scher is a thoughtful guy”, but his comments showed him as stuck thinking inside the beltway framework — it was sad hearing his familiar voice again. Talking about the current situation as something to be gamed to maximize political advantage and framing Obama’s sellout-du-jour in terms of party electoral strategy means nothing to me as I watch the cubicles around me gradually empty out to outsourcing and downsizing.
I really don’t think starting another foundation or group or whatever and creating petitions to the President mean anything at all anymore, if they ever did. It was if I was listening to a podcast from 2004.
I’m glad Sam had him on but perhaps it was best seen in the context of a “Whatever happened to …” segment. The new reality is better captured by Sam himself and his newer guests like Matt Taibbi.
7:13 pm
wow Sammy!!!!
8:05 pm
Sam, you’re doing great! Like it was your show.!
Probably nervous as hell
but sounding good!
8:06 pm
Sam seems to have relaxed and is now in the groove.
8:21 pm
OK. Feel free to keep liveblogging. I gotta wait a couple hours.
Go Sammy go!! !
8:43 pm
Sam nailed Jared with that SS question. He danced around with that answer. Can’t wait to hear Sam tomorrow on this!
9:10 pm
I nominate Sam as benevolent Dictator of the world!
I’d nominate myself but nobody would for me. ; }

I checked out that Straus feller. He don’t look TOO jewey.
