Sorry for the short notice, but we were just asked to jump in and do the show today at 1:20pm PT (4:20pm ET) for twenty or thirty minutes to discuss the Clint Curtis story on Radio Left.
UPDATE: I was told I’d be on for about 20 or 30 minutes, and we ended up chatting for an hour! About Clint Curtis, about Velvet Revolution, left and rightwing blogging, Jeff Gannon, weak-kneed Democrats, hypocritical Republicans and the state of politics and the country in general. Was a lot of fun!
Since I didn’t know I’d be on that long, my computer stopped recording around the 40 minute mark, so there’s a few minutes missed in my recording and a glitch in the tape right around that point before I was able to start up the recording again.
My thanks to Geoff Staples of RadioLeft.com for inviting me on. And I look forward to chatting with both him and his partner Carolyn again in the near future!
You can listen up if you wish, via one of the following links (NOTE: If there’s any surveillance experts out there who wish to offer an opinion on all of that clicking you’ll hear on my phone line, and if it sounds like a phone tap to you, let me know! If my phone is now tapped, then…Hi Guys!…How are ya?!…I guess I have the radio show I always wanted, but didn’t even know I already had! 🙂
(As mentioned previously, working on several stories I’d hoped to have ready for today…Due to this delightful interruption and a few others, I’ve been set back. As usual. Hope to have a few things, however, later this evening, and more again for tomorrow in any case!)
Go get ’em killer!
Listening now…wow!!
Brad, I am impressed! YOU GO!!!
*BFG*
Brad. for those of us who are "technologically challenged" and can’t download things or do other fancy stuff, please give us an update ASAP. Thanks.
Is it just me, or does it seem that Brad is finally getting some well deserved recognition?
I notice a lot of new posters and the fact that this blog had 25,000 hits the other day is a result of all his hard work.
Way to go Brad!
*&%$#@!!! It would take me all night to download this! How ’bout a summary?
Keep it up, Brad. :-))
It’s worth a listen, ladies, Brad has a sexy voice!
(Did I say that out loud?) *L*
Sorry y’all, brain’s been on overload all week, firing on about two neurons right now, I think my silly cells have taken over.
I’ll be shutting up now 🙂
Hello Brad–Great hearing a voice to attach to your great writing. I was wondering-are you originaly from Oregon, as I am? Just curious. Any other words about the other whistle blower who was let go with Curtis by the FODT?
Keep up the good work.
Peter in Oregon
Great interview, Brad. Seems to me you clearly hit all the important points you could in the time allotted. Keep strong – may the force stay with you!
Brad,
Thank you for taking the time to join us today on Conversations – especially on such short notice.
It’s damned sad that the Clint Chronicles is being ignored. We all know that if it had been a Democrat, we’d have 5 special prosecutors by now.
I do want to mention one thing to you. I know taht the Democrats have been a bunch of week sisters. But, it looks like they are trying. So, I’d like to push the idea that we take the time to thank them when they do right thing and encourage them to do more by telling them that we’re watching their back. (I’m NOT suggesting that anything you said wasn’t completely appropriate.)
It must be down right nauseating to go to work in the House or Senate everyday and have to deal with the Theo-Fascist Republican Greed Party.
My thought is that we work to communicate on a more personal basis with others so that we can get past the propaganda, hatred, and lies that the TFRGP uses to keep us appart. Listen to the interview I did with Vicki Robin that came on rigth after you and you’ll see what I mean.
And for those who are in a more confrontational mood, check out The Amazing Adventures of Underwear Boy in the White House: Cigars, Condoms, and Valerie Plame.
Robert & Peg – Now do ya want me to take the time to type up a transcript or would you rather have me reporting and raking muck? I’m guessing (and hoping) the latter, so I’ll let others transcribe and/or synopsize the conversation. The bulk of the Curtis stuff you guys already know about…though I *did* break a bit of news somewhere in there on one or two points. Which I’ll be covering in more detail on these pages in the coming days anyway.
Beyond that, I invite anyone who wishes to share what they heard, but I shouldn’t 🙂
PeterPont – The "other whistleblower" you are referring to is Mavis Georgalis. What might you like to know about her?
Kestrel… – (blush)
Peggy – Thanks.
And last but certainly not least…
Geoff (host of today’s show!) – Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. For what it’s worth, regular readers know there are a few — though too precious few — Dems who’s back I have and have spent time lauding great (See BRAD BLOG’s 2004 Man of the Year for one of the too few examples). When they deserve it, I’ve got their back all the way. When they don’t, they’ll hear from me.
But I look forward to checking out the interview you mention as soon as time allows!
Thanks again for having me on, and I’ll be happy to return any time you’ll have me!
My stone-age computer on dialup gave me about 15 second snatches, and then I gave up. But I did get to hear that sexy voice…warmth in it, too.
I think following these stories so closely and in such detail, with the help of our great reporter, Brad, empowers us and keeps us from being crushed under these brain damaged brutes.
And Peg C,
Watch your language!!!! We’re in mixed company!
The breaking news that Brad mentioned (at least, hadn’t seen it elsewhere) is that Ray Lemme’s case (originally closed, ruled suicide) has been re-opened. The original police report noted that scene photos weren’t available – I think because the flash memory had failed? Anyway, it turns out there are pictures. I’m thrilled to learn this deeply deeply disturbing case has been re-opened. There are some fishy things about the original report that aren’t obvious right away. This man, Mr. Lemme, was just doing his job, and doing it well. And he gets this? We owe it to him to find out the truth.

Thank you for the major news that the Lemme possible murder has been re-opened.
I had emailed congress woman Cynthia McKinney, since it evidently happened in her district, and asked to to take a look at it.
It could be a federal issue if he was killed in violation of his civil rights …
Is anyone here from Georgia who would know how to do a GA freedom of information act request … or could ask Cynthia if see has looked into it?
Congratulation, Brad! Great moment with you.
