1. The WNUR stream fills up quickly -- get in now

[Robbien]

2. Wow, Kathy Kelly!

Thanks for the heads up.

[alcuno]

3. Love it!

What a smart show. Chuck is the one who should be on Air America (a stupid name, by the way.)

[Robbien]

4. I think Chuck has a great interview style.

He seems to always ask the questions that I wonder about when listening to the guests.

Ha, a listener is starting a campaign to get AirAmerica pay attention to this show. They must be reading your mind.

[Bozita]

5. This is the gold standard of college radio

Nothing else is close.

Even some old folks tune in.

[Robbien]

6. The way they joke around between guests make

you think these guys are stoned goofs. But then when they interview their guests they msyteriously turn into knowledgeable professionals. The mix between the two is great.

They must work really hard to get the quality guests they have.

[alcuno]

11. EXACTLY! I think Kevin is pre-med.

I remember the first time I listened to the show I kept wondering what had happened to the host. Then I realized he was listening. A novel concept.

If you ever go into the archives, read Dorchen's slaughter of Bill O'Reilly from last year.

9. hehehe

i'm enjoying it and i must be consdered old, at 57, i guess! :-D

[alcuno]

12. I always have a hard time believing that NU students are up at

9:00AM on a Saturday listening to politics and world affairs.

[Bozita]

7. "Appointocracies" -- They're growing in number

Saul Landau

[Robbien]

10. Wonder if US money is funding the riots in Taiwan right now

Chen is no friend of Bush.

[Bozita]

13. Chen should find a supersized partnership for brother Neil

Something like China did.

Problems would vanish.

[Bozita]

15. Hey, that was Aristede's big mistake ... Democracy is ineffective...

... unless the Bush family and friends make a big profit.

Aristede shouldda hired brother Marvin for something big.

[Robbien]

8. Good Chuck brought up that off the wall Iranian interview last week

What the Iranian man said came out of some Bush&Co policy statement. That was strange.

[bvar22]

14. Tuned in a couple of minutes ago.

No trouble getting in the stream. Great show!

[Robbien]

16. Yes, the people started the anti war movement

Dean is given the credit, but he only picked up what was happening already and made it a part of his platform. Yes, he greatly helped the movement, but he did not start it.

[Robbien]

17. It is too bad that the email they received sounds like crank mail

The one on the end of cheap oil.

It detracts from the seriousness of the Peak Oil issue. Don't know who those people are, but they are doing more harm than good.

[Bozita]

18. Kathy Kelly of "Voices in the Wilderness" is on now

[Robbien]

19. It is hard to believe this well spoken

mild mannered woman is going to jail just because she spoke her mind in public and was hurt while being body searched.

[Bozita]

20. She needs to be jailed in order to intimidate the rest of us...

... but it aint gonna work.

She really sounds like a terraist to me.

[Robbien]

21. Yep, she is asking us to cut back on our energy consumption

That is a real threat to Exxon and Shell, no wonder she is being locked away.

[Robbien]

22. Kathy is a hero

She has a great attitude where she wants to learn Arabic while sitting in jail.

The idea that the School of Americas sponsored mercenaries to overthrow African governments is sooo wrong. And she is the one going to jail!

[alcuno]

23. That was a funny point she made about the US saying that the

military personnel they are training are expected to treat their citizens as our military is treating our citizens.
