Liberal Talk Radio

O. Casey Corr has a good run-down of what’s been going on at KUOW-FM in the wake of Ken Vincent’s surprise resignation. As Seattleites spend more time stuck in traffic, expect KUOW to do even better.
I’m one of those (annoying, pretentious) people who listen almost exlclusively to public radio (KUOW and KEXP), mostly because [...]

My extremely subtle effort to register my annoyance with the City of Seattle’s bureaucracy through careful selection of postage stamps continued today. I got a parking ticket for parking in front of a curb ramp last week, which was annoyingly placed mid-block, and, even more annoyingly, apparently not a crime unitl last week. [...]

I’ve been meaning to link to this smart Allawi critique on Americablog. There’s one part that bothers me:
Most importantly, and quite simply, Allawi has virtually no support in Iraq. In the last elections, in December 2005, his party won a piddling 8 percent of the vote, earning just 25 seats in the 275-seat parliament. [...]

I’m having a hard time understanding this:
In two separate segments yesterday, Fox News attacked CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric for reporting from the ground in Iraq, calling it “a desperate move” and asking if it was a “ratings ploy or legitimate journalism.”
On Your World With Neil Cavuto, guest host Dagen McDowell featured Janice [...]

Earn money by purposely idling in traffic — ask me how:
Some companies pay millions to have their logos on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s racecar, but others prefer to pay Brian Katz $500 or more a month for space on his Ford Expedition.
Mr. Katz, 32, of Manhattan, is one of the tens of thousands of motorists who [...]

I’m sad to see IraqSlogger going subscription-only. I found it to be a pretty great aggregator of Iraq news. It’s clearly a high-end site for contractors, diplomats and the like, so I guess it’s no surprise that it’s shutting the free door. Clearly I won’t be spending $60/month on a subscription.
So, before [...]

I’ve been up since five trying to figure out a way to get my mom from SEA to FNT before noon tomorrow. Yes, that’s right, she’s got a confirmed flight reservation, and yet as of 5a today, we knew she wasn’t going to make her connection in ATL, and thus wouldn’t get [...]

I know it’s August and everyone’s on vacation, but yesterday’s Meet the Press was a disgrace, one that should make NBC News bow its head in shame. David Gregory, who thinks he’s hot shit for his tough questioning of the President in the briefing room, had Karl Rove on for a half hour. [...]
