Obviously or beloved MR is experiencing technical difficulties as even yesterday’s show didn’t appear for me until this morning
12:12 pm

And page refreshes are very slow.

Everything should be up and running now. In the event the audio player doesn’t work in the future, click on the ‘iPad’ or ‘iPad’ button and the audio feed will open directly in your iTunes or listen through the SammyCam feed.

Penny Pritzker is from the family that owns Hyatt Hotels.
She is a baker of Emanuel and Obama. But she’s richer than Romney and has the same entitled life.
12:36 pm
Backer, not baker. Sorry. Sticky keyboard.

Didn’t get a chance to hear the show. (Usually listen to the member podcast.) But, I got a notice that majority.fm is suspending my automated membership payments. Anyone know what that’s about?
5:55 pm
have you got a new credit card? They aren’t able to keep taking if you have, you should check into the payment system you use

Mike from Florida said @ the top of his call, “real quick because I know you’re short on time”. Nothing about his call has been “real quick” or even insightful.
Having to listen to “Mike from Florida” is reason enough to not contribute one fucking cent to MR.
“I know you got to run, two real quick suggestions”
Laugh Out Loud!!!
BULL SHIT!
8:52 pm
I like Mike from Florida. You know, half your comments here dont have to be snide and unkind.
12:20 pm
It’s obvious to anyone w/ a decent ability of character assessment that Mike from Florida’s motivations have more to do w/ his own ego and being recognized as an intellectual by Sam than they do w/ progressive action or disseminating truth & facts.

Jet fuel didn’t “pour down the middle of the building”.
That is ridiculous!
The jet fuel ignites on impact.
Just watch any of the videos showing the impact.
2:01 pm
I lost sound again
2:09 pm
Editing my ass!
HORSE SHIT!!!
SHOW ME THE UNEDITED FOOTAGE!
Fuck your random magazine! And fuck you for interjecting all the crazy theories. The bottom line is that the official story is implausible.
THE END
8:54 pm
Heh, I’d say it more politely, but I agree. The official conspiracy theory is bullshit.

sup blog,
Aside from remembering being on Chambers & Greenwich that morning I also remember thinking back to the 1994 truck bombing as well as the military coup in Chile in 1973. Not to mention how much i hated Guilianni

FYI: The podcast feed is showing the MP3 file from Friday instead of today.
3:57 pm
Me too. The title of the show is correct on iTunes, but the download is Friday’s show.
