Mid-morning Wednesday and he's doing a show?

Well, sort of. I'm cleaning the office back here, had WinAmp on random play and it's doing some fine tunage, so I thought I'd share it with you lot.

Note: the requests are off, but I dare say you'll enjoy.

If you need notes on how to, look at my show announcement from last Friday.

*Insert profuse swearing here*

Main feed's down again. I'm on it. Thus, I have to shut down my feed so I can deal with it.

EDIT: Okay. Main feed should be back in a couple hours, max.

Remember that guy who wanted the fetal death reporting?

Apparently, his poor widdle feewings are still hurt. As the wise and holy Eschaton puts it:

"Anyway, basically Cosgrove is upset that Maura actually told people about the bill he introduced without first running it by him. He seems to believe that's actually an obligation."

MORA KUEHNE (misspelling by ABC on MORA)

I don't think that any citizen should have to wait for a legislator's permission to share her concerns about legislation. I mean, it's - once you introduce a bill into the legislature, it's part of the public record.

JOHN COSGROVE

I've dealt with newspapers and radio stations and television media. And I have yet to have one reporter just run a story without running it by me.

(Also, as Eschaton puts it, the Nightline reporter seems to sympathize!)

JOHN DONVAN

(Off Camera) Well, Kuehne did send Cosgrove one e-mail. The one he explained he didn't see for several days. But beyond that, there is something of an ethical question. Kuehne is, as she says, a private citizen whose blog never attracted more than a few hundred readers on any regular basis. But if she has the power to be read around the world, as this episode proves she has, is she still just some private citizen? Does she have an obligation to tell someone she's writing about that she has an audience?

I've got your answer, dimwit: no. Not just no, but FUCK NO!

*insert incoherent noises here*

Bill O'Reilly has officially lost his mind.

"So look, I'm declarin' war on the ACLU. I think they're a terrorist group. They're terrorizin' me and my family. They're terrorizing me. I think they're terrorists. Can I get some lawyers to help me out here? Can we sue 'em? They're puttin' us all in danger."

But that's okay, Bill. We're liberating those Iraqis real good, you betcha!

WASHINGTON: US Army soldiers in Iraq filmed themselves kicking a gravely wounded prisoner in the face and making the arm of a corpse appear to wave, then titled the effort “Ramadi Madness” after the city where it was made.

Florida National Guard soldiers filmed the video made public on Monday. They edited and compiled it into a DVD on January 2004, with various sections bearing the titles “Those Crafty Little Bastards” and “Another Day, Another Mission, Another Scumbag.”

“According to the investigations, it didn’t rise to the level of criminal abuse,” said Lt Col Jeremy Martin, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon. “Clearly, the soldiers probably exercised poor judgment and I’m sure that they were admonished by their command for their actions.”

POOR JUDGMENT? Those miserable scumbags and their "poor judgment" are a disgrace to every last damn person who died on That Day, not to mention every last American casualty since Pee Wee Bush's Big Adventure got started!
