4. Thank you.

[JanMichael]

3. Kick

I imagine Michael will call in---Jeff's death really shook him up; they used to talk on the phone on weekends while I was down there visiting.

So sad--that guy had more talent that most of us put together.

[bvar22]

5. I'll be tuning in!

Recommending for greatest!
Need another nomination for greatest!

[soup]

6. you've got it.

:kick:

[Catshrink]

7. Kick for Jeff!

:kick:

[Jacobin]

8. OMG

I didn't know about Nostamj. One of my all-time favorite posters.

He will be very sorely missed.

Rest in Peace, N.

[krystine]

9. I knew it. I knew it.

Now that his numbers are plummeting, Bush is going to give a speech on terrorism. Will that help prop up the little emperor?

[Dudley_DUright]

10. Link about the speech?

[soup]

11. on the news before the show started.

Fort Hood Tuesday.

[krystine]

13. Faux News

I heard it on the news preceding Guy's show.

[Dudley_DUright]

15. Thanks

I guess I was tuning out the Faux news feed before the show. Here is the only link I could find about the speech.

http://www.kltv.com/Global/story.asp?S=3155034

[krystine]

17. Thanks for the link.

I am not sure about this, but I do not remember Bush ever sitting in the oval office looking the American people direct in the eye and giving a speech like his predecessors or his daddy.

[guajira]

12. Sound coming in good tonight - from Central FLA!!!

[BeachBuckeye]

14. No calls about Jeff?

That REALLY sucked!!

[soup]

16. Beautifully done, Guy.

My condolences to all who knew and loved him. It can't be easy putting yourself out there with emotions flowing, but you held it together and did a really good job.

and the lady who called? Don't think I absorbed one word she said. Was she even listening to the program?

[Cha]

18. That was a wonderful tribute

to Jeff, Mike!

Sounded so like him..

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

20. When that lady called Guy and did the commercial for her web site...

...I had to call. That part of the show wasn't finished.

Thanks for your kind words. Jeff WAS a good guy. It needed to be said.

:toast:

[Cha]

21. I would be blubbering...you

did great job! :toast: to Jeff!

[soup]

22. Glad you called.

I know this isn't the photo you were talking about, but did find the 'Connecticut Cowboy' in a black hat-

23. This was the photo:

"The Connecticut Cowboy." Jeff and I posted it on the same day, in separate threads, and then we did the dueling "you stole my idea" joke threads in The Lounge.

To Jeff.

:toast:

:grouphug:



:toast:

[soup]

25. the power-window pretzeldent.

Yes, to Jeff.

:toast:

:grouphug:

[Dudley_DUright]

26. Looks like the Connecticut Cowboy

needs a ear-piece transmitter out on the ranch too so he won't forget which way to the bunkhouse. Nice call about Jeff BTW.

[krystine]

19. Will just Delay fall?

I wonder if any one else will fall with DeLay. Since he financed every other Rep in the the house, could there be a large number of them being smelled out. I am sure he bribed all of the Reps and some Dems. If the Democrats had a crook like DeLay in the party, I would become a Republican.

[bvar22]

24. Guy is "in the zone" today!

:kick:

[Judi Lynn]

27. Oh, puhleeze. The lady's sensibility is traumatized!

And she's a REPUBLICAN?

[Desertrose]

28. She was independant? NOT!

[Judi Lynn]

30. Maybe she's UNCONSCIOUSLY Republican! n/t

[Dudley_DUright]

29. Funny, I was thinking about the same photo

listening to that last caller. That lady has drunk deep of the purple Kool-aid.

[krystine]

31. Moron

This guy would make a great date for Barbara

[soup]

34. Guy handled him brilliantly. I just love when he does a

I just love when he does a smackdown like that.

Too funny.

On edit: Welcome to DU :hi:

[krystine]

37. I know.

I can not quit laughing. No one can handle a moron like that like Guy.

[guajira]

32. One Anchor (don't remember which one) showed a porta-potty

in the Square. Don't know how many there were altogether.

[krystine]

33. Bet there was a long line.

[Dudley_DUright]

35. *Smack*

Consider yourself smacked up side the head (and don't let it happen again). :spank:

[soup]

36. LOL!

Makes for good radio, though.

[JanMichael]

38. I can't really agree that the Pope was, on balance, "good'.

Guy acknowledged the huge social problems that this Pope has assisted with archaic birth control opinions but what about hiding pedophiles?

Like this one?

In my most humble non-Catholic opinion this Pope was an irresponsible reactionary. Reactionary? Yep, to the Vatican II, and those pesky forces for the Poor, the Libertation Theology folks.

Oh, well, I guess that the MSM has convinced most everyone that this guy deserves the accolades...

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

39. Plenty of morans calling in tonight. Good L-rd!

[Judi Lynn]

40. All this brilliance is bound to rub off on us!

Another fine Republican caller

[krystine]

41. Pesticides for children

Here is a link to what the previous caller was talking about. This is sinister

[Ladyhawk]

42. Will this be archived somewhere?

Like everyone else, I am pretty torn up over Jeff's death. Every time I see his name or screen name, I tear up. I want to hear this, but I want to wait until I'm a little less emotional...capische? :( :cry: :(

[krystine]

44. whiterosesociety.org

Guy has all his shows archived at

http://www.whiterosesociety.org/

[Dudley_DUright]

46. You are too fast for me tonight Krystine

BTW, welcome to DU. :hi:

[krystine]

48. Thanks Dudley DUright

[Dudley_DUright]

45. Yes, DUer Ben Burch archives Guy's show at

http://www.whiterosesociety.org/

[Ladyhawk]

49. Thanks a lot.

I should have looked there first before asking questions. I've never listened to Guy James...I've heard he's pretty good.

[Dudley_DUright]

43. NYT article on EPA and Boxer

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/07/politics/07enviro.html

Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study - CHEERS??????

This has got to win the award for the world's most inappropriate acronym.

[Dudley_DUright]

47. LOL

...other than Ann Coulter of course. Guy, that goes without saying.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

50. "Anyone who talks the way you do should be sent to Russia...

...or Mongoloid areas."

If Guy ever does a "Republican Love Greatest Hits" show, THAT one needs to be on it!

:evilgrin:

:toast:

[Dudley_DUright]

53. Truly the highlight of the show

Also liked the the recording of all the wingnut memo accusation retractions. *chirp* *chirp*

[Judi Lynn]

51. What WAS that?

Mongoloidal areas?

[krystine]

52. Sluts on Welfare

Doesn't that sound like an X-Rated flick?

[eleny]

54. What a compassionate conservative

Lunch programs are his burning issue. I wonder what he would have said to Jesus when he multiplied the loaves and fishes? Not that I believe that story. But this guy would no doubt have marched up to JC, jab him in the chest and start a snarky lecture about responsibility.

Hang up, Guy! It's almost like he's been planted to waste time. Oh! A Libertarian! Now I get it. Never mind.

[Dudley_DUright]

55. I hate to inject some facts into this school lunch "discussion"

but that joker was so misinformed that I could not belive my ears.

8. How many children have been served over the years?

The National School Lunch Act in 1946 created the modern school lunch program, though USDA had provided funds and food to schools for many years prior to that. About 7.1 million children were participating in the National School Lunch Program by the end of its first year, 1946-47. By 1970, 22 million children were participating, and by 1980 the figure was nearly 27 million. In 1990, an average of 24 million children ate school lunch every day. In Fiscal Year 2003, more than 28.4 million children each day got their lunch through the National School Lunch Program. Since the modern program began, more than 187 billion lunches have been served.

9. How much does the program cost?

The National School Lunch Program cost $7.1 billion in FY 2003. By comparison, the lunch program's total cost in 1947 was $70 million; in 1950, $119.7 million; 1960, $225.8 million; 1970, $565.5 million; 1975, $1.7 billion; 1980, $3.2 billion; 1985, $3.4 billion; and 1990, $3.7 billion.

56. I'm sorry I missed this show.

I'm out of state the last few weeks, with minimal access to a computer. When I get home Tuesday night, I'll check in the archive at White Rose and hear the whole thing.
