The first of many violations yet to come I daresay.

In 4 years people will know what the Democratic party is good for.

I mean, they control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency now.  If
there's a screw-up, there is no one to blame but themselves.

So, for good or bad, now's their chance to show us what they've got.  They
can't complain and point fingers now.  

I have my guess what will show up (besides Ted Kennedy in a bar).

I think you've hit on the difference between the two shows. Steve & Gary
stay very topical, and some of their stuff might take the entire morning to
work out (esp. arguments with the wife & kids). S&G don't do nearly as many
"bits" or "hunks" as Johnny. They for the most part do whatever comes into
their minds at the moment, which is why Laura seems to be doing the news
more or less continuously. Sometimes you have to be a fan for years to
understand some of the comments (Stan, the guy who did the talk Jamaican
course, used to give S&G a "How to Talk Black" lesson every Friday in which
they read a scripted scene with a lot of stereotyped jive and silly accents.
While I don't think the Jamaican was as good, you had to laugh just from
this context). If you like humor way out of left field and people who are
just funny in a general unstructured manner then you'll like S&G. As for the
news bit: this is my favorite thing that they do. Don't you make snide
comments at the TV when someone says something stupid? And political
awareness is certainly a rare thing in any  radio show outside of public
radio.

Johnny has a lot of set pieces {some of them legitimately hilarious; I
listened to him for two years before switching to Morning Edition (and now,
to All Things Considered...)}, and the audience is most of the show. Even
when I listened, I used to turn off in secondhand embarrassment for people
shooting out their windows, chainsawing their furniture, etc. for show
tickets or whatever. Besides that, almost all of Johnny's bits are visual!
What's the payoff of 500 people screaming into a payphone if you aren't one
of those there? Brandmeier is definitely a control freak (ask anyone who has
worked on the show how he treats his producers), and this places him 180
degrees from S&G. There's nothing wrong with this (The ratings of both shows
are to die for as I'm sure even Doug Blair would admit); different people
like different comedy. Take care, PV

I've been listening to Steve and Gary and trying to like them,
but they just haven't tickled my funny bone yet. This morning
they were talking to a guy who was trying to teach them how to
talk Jamacan. Then they were talking to the expedition team
sailing the Tahitian Triangle without navagational equiptment.
I didn't laugh once.

I've listened to Howard Stern a little too. The shock value of
some of the things he said made me laugh, but that's his only
funny schtick.

I like Brandmier because his show goes at a mile a minute. I
feel as if I'm on a manic high when I'm listening. He's
creative in the situations he uses to entertain us. He doesn't
recycle the news through a funny filter. At least not the big
news stories that many of us have hear way too much of. He'll
take a story about a guy who locked himself in his girlfriends
car trunk, and analyze that. Then he goes the extra mile to
call the people, ordinary people who now become characters of
mystic proportions, and get their stories. And all the time,
it's interesting and funny. 

When Johnny goes to work, he's into it. When he doesn't have
you at the edge of your seat listening to an intricate story or
plot, he's rolling with the punches. Cutting up with Buz and
when Johnny does that everything that comes out of his mouth is
a gem. I can't say I've ever heard him deliver a line that just
fell flat.

I wish every radio personality went to work with Johnny's
enthusiasm. I think our airwaves would improve signigicantly.

Even if we assume that Clinton's claims are both true and correct, he will
increase the deficit by about $400 billion if all goes as he has planned.
And it's pure baldfaced bloody hypocrisy for all the ex-Keynesians to act as
if they always opposed deficit spending.  The current increase started under
Carter, not Reagan, no matter how much he screwed up cutting spending.

And, once again, Clinton turned in his own brother for cocaine charges, and
supports increased spending on the Drug War, including concentration camps
for "the enemy," not to mention a Federal police force akin to the SS.

When has Clinton even lied about being critical of the War on Drugs?

How about a short list of what "fell apart" during Bush's tenure, and

No offense, Peter.  But there are those of us in the US (fewer each
year, it seems) who aren't happy with the direction in which our
government is taking us.  I personally don't believe that government
spending has a significant effect on unemployment or crime.  As for
health care, whether nationalizing it would be a good thing is an
entire thread unto itself.

Ok, from yesterday...

S&G were talking about the election and stuff, and it was Kitty Dukakis'
birthday.  They were making fun out of her, and Garry said that for
her birthday they were having "cake and bactine".  It went off from
there into a whole bit on drinking nail polish remover and so on.

And what about the "Mothertruckers"?  Ya know, Stinky and Dirty Lyle?
You don't think that's funny?  

I will say that steve & garry have gotten more mellow in their old
age, but so have their fans.  I don't think that's bad...you can only
talk about penises so much and it gets old.  If you want genital jokes,
you could try Howard Stern.

I've really tried listening to Howard Stern.  I really have.  I thought
his TV show was hillarious.  But his radio show sucks.  All he does is
sell things and whine about the FCC.  Reminds me of that Shortwave show,
RNI.  Do all DJ's from New York whine and ask for money/sell things
non-stop?

Of course I would like to sell to Rentex, but my cautious

Has anyone sold a computer/printer etc. to Rentex?  Are they
good?  I called Better Business Bureau in Boston but they don't sound very efficient and I would like to sell mine very soon.

Or please let me know if you know any good and reliable dealer.

Let me sum up my thoughts by quoting the sign on my parkway....
       I don't CRAP in YOUR yard.

Bringing YOUR dog over to crap in MY yard is a
good example of what is wrong with the world today.

End of quote....

Paying taxes does not give you the right to allow your dog to shit on
my ;property.  Extending this to "public" property just removes the guilt
and increses the shit.
