[Now updated with audio archives…]
I finish up my week-long Guest Host stint on the The Mike Malloy Show LIVE tonight, Bradcasting from L.A.’s KTLK am1150 from 9pm-Midnight ET (6p-9p PT). My great thanks to Mike and Kathy Malloy for allowing me to make noise on his loud microphone from coast to coast all week!
Scheduled guests for tonight’s show include:
- MARCY WHEELER, author and master blogger at the indispensable emptywheel blog, on all matters of Bush Administration corruption, whether we’ll ever see accountability under Obama, and the sorry state of our mainstream corporate media. (Marcy was appropriately recognized today in Dan Froomkin’s final column for WaPo for her “fine investigative blogging”.)
- ELLEN THEISEN, founder of VotersUnite.org and publisher of the ‘Daily Voting News’ on Rep. Holt’s election reform bill in the U.S. House, and other late election integrity issues.
- BARRY KENDALL, Executive Director of the progressive Commonweal Institute, on their new Fellows and Progressive op/ed program.
- SUE WILSON, filmmaker of Broadcast Blues, the new documentary on the epic fail of the corporate media, the rise of hate-speech radio and more!
PLUS: Today’s breaking news (including an update from DESI DOYEN on the Climate Change battle on the House floor today), my rants, your calls (877-520-1150) and anything damn other thing we feel like!
Malloy’s show is nationally syndicated on a number of air affiliates around the country, also on Sirius Ch. 146 & XM Ch. 167, or listen to the free online stream here or here!
This item will be tonight’s Open Show Thread, hosted, as always, by the ever-affable “Agent 99“. See ya tonight!

Keeps me affable as heck! 😛
Hi, this is Brad, you have 30 seconds…
Posh
Hi, this is Brad, you have 15 seconds…
Bacterial terrorists in your fridge
Hi, this is Brad, you have 20 seconds…
Posh
Hi, this is Brad, you have 10 seconds…
GayGo
Hi, this is Brad, you have 5 seconds…
This has been Brad…
ROTFLMAO….. Oh, shit, I gotta take my preëmptive ibuprofen…. 😛
[word] 🙂
[word] 🙂
OK – how you do dat?
Oh no – there she is already!
Oh God – Posh Supermarket shopping tips…..
You gotta do it after a word, and not on its own line. 😎
WordPress is very parsimonious with the smileys. 🙁
The other good news is that it’s always a short trip for Brad or 99 to be driven insane. The trick is to keep us from doing it at the same time….
Michael Jackson rises from the dead at his star on Broadway, but is struck down by falling debris from three colliding news helicopters.
Oh, no, the software is becoming over-anxious again… keeps putting people on moderation without any warning. Not happening too frequently… yet….
Re: MJ, I just wonder if they found him dead in his coffin….
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Where’d that come from?
You messing with me?
No! The software is messing with me!
Oh, guess you already answered the moderation thingy.
Be prepared for the “Yes We Can” hype to keep up for at least the next three and a half years…. 🙁
What were we talking about, I don’t remember anymore.
I think it might only happen while I’m in the middle of doing mass deletions of our idiot nuisance spammer. He never gets through, but keeps trying to fill up the server with gobbledeegook. Working himself stupid for bubkes but maybe putting people on moderation momentarily….
Jackass.
What were we talking about, I don’t remember anymore.
Really! You totally lose track in those breaks!
At least finally we get some Desi!
Better yet, CHANGE THE BILL TO SAY 2010….
But now I have hungry people hovering at my door
I need to make a store run.
Okay, go have a life……………
Dry clean?
Sheesh I don’t own anything that needs drycleaning!
Really, how last century working class can they be!
I am so excited about this Lefkowicz and Jones stuff horning in on the glam posh woman! Relief.
I spoke too soon.
“Green Beaches” sounds perfectly awful to me. Maybe better than sludgy bruise-colored ones, but, well, not much….
I know what he means by that! It won’t be a moment too soon for those of us who cannot endure the posh princess….
Precisely Brad!
You must look back!
Dress looks better on the mannequin?
Kill the mannequin!
Just do it poshly…
I had to turn off the sound to avoid suicide….
The United States releases and pays reparations to any people detained illegally for any reason, even if they might have been found guilty had the authorities not broken the law.
Why is that so hard for any American to spit out?
Hi. I would have messaged earlier, but I was busy. In the fun way.
Just a few things:
1. I’m sorry that Michael Jackson is dead. I really am. Yet, I have to wonder why no one is mentioning what a effin’ weirdo he was — I mean, come on — Liz Taylor? Trying to look like Diana Ross? Holding the kid over a 3rd story balcony? Tongue-raping Lisa Marie Presly-Jackson on live TV to “prove” his heteroness? The cancer kid? macauley Culkin? Bubbles the Chimp? Naming his kid Prince? We’re talking major woo-woo here.
2. FOX News labeling adulterer Sanford as a democrat — anyone else remember that they did the same thing to mark Foley (R-FL) when his sex scandal broke? “FOX News — one vowel off from what we really do the the news!”
3. Hello, everyone! Farrah’s dead too. Could we possibly mention her and what a courageous woman she was to document her fight against cancer? And why the F don’t we have a cure for cancer yet?
“There’s a reason in this country that, before we have a cure for cancer or AIDS, we have a hair pill and a boner pill.†— Bill Maher
4. And another thing — the whole “MJ is dead” thing — good excuse for avoiding real news.
Healthcare reform? Forget it. MJ’s dead!
Energy bill in the House? Who cares! MJ’s dead!
44 alleged Dems (now outed as republic*nt lite) voted against the energy bill? So what! MJ’s dead!
Hey! They’re still shooting us, beating us, and abducting us over here in Iran! Big whoo! MJ’s dead!
They stole our election over here in Iran! Oh, well! MJ’s dead!
Then again — at least we’re not being hypocrites about the Iranian elections. We didn’t give a flying F when our own elections were stolen in 00 and 04, and we sure don’t care about Iran’s elections now.
Valerie Plame lawsuit thrown out by SCOTUS (I call conspiracy!), MSM falling down on the job (big shocker there yawn), and North Korea getting their Irish up in a fit of paranoid nuclear machismo — F*CK IT ALL!!!
MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD!! WE MUST MOURN MOURN MOURN AND GRIEVE!! I vote not, but hey — that could just be me.
♥♥♥

Oh, and Robin Moreno, The Posh Princess, seems to be monopolizing the market on Peppy, Happy, and Perky. Where’s the ad spots for ME?????
BRING BACK THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE!!!!
BONNIE BITCH WANTS EQUAL TIME!!!!!!! (and a latté, if someone would be so kind)
Hey, Bonnie. Glad you showed up, and sorry that the software is throwing some people onto the moderation queue for no good reason. I’m trying to keep up with it to make sure nobody gets stuck in limbo too long. Only happening once in a while.
Sorry it’s not a double….
Hello, I ***AM*** mingling. AND I’m in a good mood tonight, too.
hey, where did he go?
I’m at KTLK – the feed is dead!
Hi 99 and BluBear! Just sending a message because Brad just said to say hello to you guys 🙂
Brad, you are doing an AWESOME job!
Big Gay Hey, 99! Was in queue for about 3 minutes. No biggie. It was that long “MJ is dead” post, anyway. It needed to be proofread before being presented to the public.
Hi Jim! Can I get you a canapé? A latté? A double scotch with a tequila back? Some LSD?
Reboot, BB2!
I tried restarting Firefox – still nothing. The player won’t finish loading.
Trying IE [shudder – fear] next.
I got it back with IE – had to install flash for IE first.
Dinnertime now…
Arghhhhhh
Mimi Kennedy’s message for Brad:
Posted on my blog accidentally… I think.
Missed it, was out. Caught the first 3 shows, though. Excellent, Brad! You should get your own show! Or were the guests great, because Malloy picked them, and you would’ve picked lousy guests?
😉
Can I call in on replay?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrlS9_n8GX4
Damn. You. Big Dan! I’ve been dying for you to call in all week! 😛
I consume at least a cup of blueberries a day.
And will try the almond butter on apple gig….
Healthy, healthy, healthy, with Camel straights on the side.
♫ … until we meet again…. ♫
Brad –
Great shows this week. Thank you.
You so need your own show. I hope they give you free copies of the shows this week so that you can use them as an “audio portfolio” to market yourself.
I’ll be back —
♥♥♥
Bonnie Bitch
Wow, kewl dingbats, Niners!
Alright, gotta get out. Thanks for a great week cats! Until we meet again, indeed…
Dear 99 —
You were a fab hostess. Thank you!
Brad needs to give you a raise.

A casual friday question for anyone who thinks they might know and if it even matters:
Re the Al Frankin senate seat…
I recall hearing a few years back that Tim Pawlenty had declared his intention to run but that he received a phone call from the then fraudulent/illegitimate vice president who told him that he wasn’t allowed, that Cheney decreed Norm Coleman was “his pick” and that he was in fact bankrolling Colemans campaign.
So, okay, my question:
what’ch’bet Cheny is behind the tug-o-war in Minnesota? And lets face it Cheney has as much wealth as twelve small countries combined. Couldn’t he bankroll this INSANE recount like, for-eva?
J-
an Alex-Jonesian afterthought,
And if his tentacles reach there- where else do they reach? The Pentagon, well duh, but (in alphabetical order) Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Pakistan, Palestine, Peru (oh that’s Chevron not Exxon Mobile), Venezuela? Really, isn’t he just sitting back toying with the planet and if so- well, I dunno, if so gawd help us all.
Thanks, Bonnie, but he just tripled it a couple months ago and well three times nuthin’ is still nuthin’…. 😛
gawd help us
Indeed!
Brad,
I was channel surfing and heard the Glenn Beck tell his audience that if his representative in congress voted for the Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 tonight he’d personally canvas against him. (it passed)
According to Wikipedia (yes, I know not citation worthy) he resides in New Canaan, Con; therefore, his US. Rep. in Congress is Jim Himes, a supporter of the bill Jim Himes.
Hannity said he’d be waterboarded –he didn’t. Beck said he’d canvas if his rep. voted for the bill –probably won’t.
Another Fox Lie.
He said this in todays telecast. Why is nobody talking about this?
um, maybe cause
Glenn Beck = CIA Operative_Government Shill-NAZI Globalist

Hey if nobody’s busy.
Why not mark this +1 Insightful, and then keep it there? Or if you don’t agree maybe you can change it some, wouldn’t that be cool too? Who knows you could just change history.

You had on somebody who is an expert on “hate-speech radio” while you were filling in for Mike Malloy?!? Hey Freidman, here’s a quick rundown of filth that Mike Malloy has spewed on his show: “Matt Dudge should be hung by his entrails…Bush administration members should be drowned…the founder of the Blogs For Bush website should get the crap kicked out of him…Sarah Palin is a whore…” and so on ad nauseum.
Hypocrisy. Total brainlessness. The left strikes again. Way to go, Friedman.
Cyber-Warfare polymorph viruses. ;o)
They’re fun fun fun!
I bow to thy master!
