I’m running off for a casual-yet-so-chic haircut and may be a few minutes late… so don’t say anything interesting until I get here….
That 99. What a bitch…
What a chic bitch, you mean! 😛
Anybody successfully streaming the show? I’m having trouble getting it to stream.
Seems to be a popup blocker problem.
Working great for me on the KTalk stream…..
It takes its time loading…..
Thanks, 99. That’s what finally is working for me. If others are having trouble, try KTLK.
Oh, my, I can spend these commercial breaks admiring my new and ultimate chictude….
Slim, chic, gorgeous… OLD. So uplifting….
Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.
You can move the planet into a single payer plan and it doesn’t make it harder.
The hitch is getting the insurance companies to lay down and die.
Dammit! 🙁
“Oh! It’s a big, big show….” Made me think of Ed Sullivan… “Really, really big shew….”

Watch Sicko again….
Brad stinks. 😉
I want to know – and nobody, not a single person has been able to give me a satisfactory response – where it is written that insurance companies have an INHERENT RIGHT to any involvement in our health care?
Perhaps you can pose that very direct question to Congressman Kucinich (of whom I was a vociferous supporter for president.)
Kucinich was on at the very beginning…. He’s trying to keep it open for individual states to do their own single payer plans right now, since the president and the corporatist congresspersons have made it into a dead letter on the national level.
So that’s what I keep smelling…. Brad, you should remember to bathe before you go on the air.
I was really hoping you’d get to this with Governor Siegelman….
If a state gets single payer, businesses will relocate there because they save $$$ on health care. It will start a domino effect. Saskatchewan started it in Canada, and the other provinces followed suit. I was talking to Carl Romanelli of the Green Party, and this is what he told me. Romanelli ran against Casey and Santorum for senator, and he knows Ralph Nader. And Cynthia McKinney.

The “spending” includes health care industry profits.

Mayors, rabbis arrested in corruption probe
NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) — The New Jersey officials and their associates charged in a federal probe of public corruption exchanged hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in parking lots, restaurants, boiler rooms and bathrooms, an acting U.S. attorney said Thursday.

Oh, so the DoJ is doing something after all. I thought they’d just given up completely….
Sign me up for that depression study….
Sorry Niners! I FORGET again to thank you!! So…thank you!!! Forgive me, and come back tomorrow! 🙂
(Engineer Tony sez I *tried* to thank you, but he turned off my mic as I did…Of course, he’s a liar) 😉
Gotta get outta the studio. Thanks guys!
Did you really just say you’re “Bradcasting” from LA? How cheesy are you? Aren’t you supposed to be a professional? Can’t you come up with a better tag line then that?
No wonder no one takes us seriously… come on man!
Brad’s proud of El Lay….
God damn it, I missed the whole thing.
Dear Brad — where are the Malloy podcasts of your show? I’m a subscriber of MM’s show, and the last show that we podcast subscribers got was July 21. Last time you guest hosted we got all the podcasts. Please make sure you are putting the podcasts of the shows up! Nothing for 2 whole days!
Thanks.
Shelly – I believe Wed. was a “Best Of”, so I don’t think they post podcasts. Thursdays podcasts are now posted above! So you should be all up to date.
Lori – I’ll be ‘Bradcasting’ from L.A. again tonight (Friday)! Hope you’ll join in, and feel free to hold me accountable for anything ya like!
Thanks for the downloads. Couldn’t listen last night so now I can.
Heartfelt thanks to Brad and Ben, from followers located in exotic climes (read: time zones)!
re Igor and Center for American Progress. He sounded good… but isn’t CAP — like MoveOn — one of the orgs that Jeremy Scahill outed as having been chosen by the White House to promote the White House’s message? Igor kind of changed his tune after one questioner really pressed him about something which I don’t recall now.
Thank you, Kim.
Yes. Thank you.
