They keep knocking you down and you keep getting up.  My kind of guy!

Smithers requested his cremated remains be spread along Pierce Brosnan's receding hairline. Thanks for everything guys. Don't stay away too long.  I depend on you.

After all the talk of possibly getting ms back, or working with Sam, the best outcome I can imagine would be keeping tmms just the way it is and finding a better network. The show is constantly improving and would, if given the chance, surpass ms. (it's close now). Syndication isn't a sign of quality (look at franken), many works of genius go unnoticed at first. Monty python bombed when it was first shown in england. Oh well, at least we had Marc and Jim for a while.....

In a time of universal deceit saying firetruck is a revolutionary act

No real reason, just wanted to share some of this since I got it in email.

Today marks the birthday of Henry David Thoreau (b. 7/12/1817)
“Men talk about Bible miracles because there is no miracle in their lives. Cease to gnaw that crust. There is ripe fruit over your head.”

and the birthday of R Buckminster Fuller (b. 7/11/1895)
“Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.”

It is also the birthday of George Eastman (1854), George Washington Carver (1861), Milton Berle (1908) and Bill Cosby (1937)

On this day in 1799 Britain passed the Combination Act, which prevented groups of workers trying to improve working conditions.

On this day in 2002 The Superior Court of Ontario ordered Ontario to recognise same-sex marriages.

We saw the latest lineup of the Platters and then the russian comic Yakov Smirnof(sp) and some generic patriotic shows. I love lots of kinds of music but how many times do i need to hear about how God isnt in schools. AHHH!
I was really well behaved because my husband had just gotten back from Qatar. He is now in Iraq due back in December.

I just submitted a winning late entry :) or my name isn't Matt "In Like Flint" Helm!

p.s. Smithers requested that his remains be mixed with cocoa butter and smeared all over the buff body of ... Felix Leiter.

In a straw basket covered with beets? LOL
But you're wrong about none of us liking skinny. To quote Calista Flockhart from Letterman a few years back, when she talked about how cruel people were to her about a physique with which she is very happy, "If you don't like the way I look, you can kiss my skinny white ass."
Just grant me that one wish! Please!!!

To make something sweet out of her sour beginnings. LOL!

Seriously -- Sirius Left could use some better programming -- or get a show on Sirius Raw Dog. To think I originally got Sirius to listen to Air America when it first came out... and they go with XM!!! I bet the management would have stuck with BETAMAX instead of VHS...

Hi Marc (and please say hello to Jim),

It's tragic enough that Air America corporate is pulling the plug (yet again) and that it appears there's nothing loyal listeners like me can do anything about it. Or is there? Please advise. However, your show's podcast for last Friday and Monday aren't working through AAR's so-called premium service. So, I can't even catch up on your programs before the sad, final broadcast. I understand you don't handle this technical aspect of your show and I have already e-mailed AAR about it. I just wanted to add to the bitching I'm sure you're rightfully doing now, and say how much I've enjoyed all the interviews, comedy bits and antagonistic banter between you and Jim. So, where do I send your next farm basket to now, when our crops are ready for harvest?
Please keep us harmless stalkers posted on your next move. All the luck in the world to you, Jim and everyone associated with the show.

Sincerely,
Reformed Jewish American Princess Farmer Gillian

Oh my DOG this is hysterical. (It's a 45 page pdf document at the NY Times website and it's a hard read but worth it.)

Among the sites various states listed as potential terror targets are petting zoos, insect zoos, a popcorn factory, one state's right-to-life headquarters, several local festivals, oh gosh it goes on and on!!!!!

It looks like what happened is Homeland Security asked each state for a list, each state turned around and asked cities and towns for a list, and as the lists came back in they were entered into the database without any critical (or even sensible) review. (While it's true most data entry people can enter without reading the data for context, I can't believe not a single one stopped for a moment, say to sneeze, and didn't see something like "the Groundhog Zoo" and think, "Maybe I ought to show this to my boss just in case.....") These people running our poor country are supposed to have good business sense. If this is the kind of shit they teach at those big expensive business schools, I fear for the future of GAAP, too. (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.)

He reminds me of the late 70's version of David Letterman, right before Letterman became ueber-famous.

I say get Danny Goldberg in the studion on the last day.

Worse comes to worse, you can start turning up in the MARIJUANALOGUES, getting tons of psycho-fans to pack your shows, and sell locks of your hair on eBay.

Please have Lawton make an appearance.

I've written Air America and told them to expect me to drop my Premium subscription if they drop you, Marc. Your show is the reason I bought the damn thing.

Let us know what happens next.

after Friday night..

I'm just listening to the show now. I know I'm too late to enter in the big contest.

Woah! I was just watching Jean Michel Cousteau on PBS and all I could think was, didn't your dad do all the documentaries that neeeded to be done on sharks? Except for maybe how global warming is affecting them, I guess.

thanks for the reprise of the intro to marc's old website. i was thinking about it the other day and wishing i'd saved it.

also, i'd love at least one more of your reconfigured poems or perhaps, in this case, lyrics. i was thinking of "johnny i hardly knew ya" rewritten for billy, charlie and andy. you wrote some great ones during the demise of ms.

On PBS right now.
