    OK now this gets interesting!

    it was a great show last night but we didn’t get to hear it. Now here’s our chance!

    But in the meantime we’re blogging with Bob Koehler, and Dr. Robert J. Fitrakis is on deck, so there’s going to be a lot happening at the same time for 6 or 7 of us BradBloggers …

    Nonetheless, we’re here and we’re ready to blog … so leave a comment or a question and we’ll get to you eventually. 😉

    Great interview with Michaeal Smith. Brad is a natural interviewer. Usually when I here an interview I’m always frustrated with the questions that are not asked, but I don’t find that at all with Brad.

    Brad, I hope this show propels you to Air America, XM or Sirrius. The more people that can hear you the better off we will all be.

    I think they are playing an old show (not yesterdays) again, Brad keeps saying that John Amato is coming up next.

    I’ve got to go now. I’ll listen to the rest of the show on archives.

    Richard 23 –

    Peg C has been busy. I know…no excuse. But that blog hasn’t been serving the purpose for which I opened it.

    Thanks for asking. (grin)

    Not serving the purpose is no excuse!

    I used to have a website dedicated to AppleScript while Apple gave free websites to registered Macintosh users. When they got cheap and decided to charge for my privilege to promote their proprietary scripting language, my website went down.

    Now that’s an excuse!

    😉 :drool: :etc:

    The smileys (smilies) don’t work here. Why not ditch ’em. (Paying particular attention to apostrophes, per Winter Patriot.)

    KIRA this was the first time I heard you interview and you did GREAT!! … STEVE this was the second time I had heard YOUR interview and you really were asleep, weren’t you? 😉 But you did great, too!

    After a very touching tribute to Andy and a break, there are now only a few minutes left in the show, and when it’s over you’d all better hurry over to please don’t read my thread!

    I could’ve sworn I’d seen something about Andy Stevenson on Free Republic. It wasn’t very nice. I recall it was about his illness being fake or a fundraiser for his medical bills being bs. Free Republic seems to be down at the moment so I can’t find anything on their site right now. Free Republic down? Aww, too bad. I was banned after one innocuous post. "Free" my ass.

    If my recollection is wrong, I apologize. But considering the amount of hate posted on that site, one could find something equivalently vile to cancel out my mistake.

    Thank you Winter!!

    It was a fabulous show yesterday. Hours 3 and 4 will be archived sooner rather than later (thank you Don), and Brad will get Hours 1 and 2 up without the back and forth problems as soon as he can get to it!

    Thanks all for tuning in!

    Thanks Winter! Brad’s such a gracious "interviewer" – he helps make things a little easier for the slightly nervous folks on the other end of the line!

    Richard 23 (#14) — you are correct about the egregious, disgusting bile spewed by the Freepers, also on Conservative Underground, and a site set up specifically to denounce and accuse Andy. i can’t find the links over there now, but they did claim that Andy’s cancer was a scam to get people to donate money (andy did not have health insurance).

    from what Brad tells me, they went so far as to register a complaint and freeze his Paypal account, so that he had to fight to get to his own money.

    i wonder if they know how awful they made his last months on earth. i wonder if they care. sadly, i would not be surprised at all if they were howling with glee. i have lost faith that any of them have hearts.
