This weekend, you can catch me on This American Life. Or on Wait Wait. Or both. Your choice.
And if you need proof that I’m better heard than seen, The Next Big Broadway Musical is still running.
Of course, it’s still possible to enjoy your weekend in a Felber-free fashion. But I’m working on that.

1“Enjoy….Felber-free”?????
Mutually exclusive, my friend!
We’ll all be glued to our radios - which could put some pretty dangerous drivers on our nation’s highways. But at least we won’t be talking on our cell phones…and that will keep the Car Talk guys happy.

3Adam,
I just heard your piece on This American Life about the Defense of Marriage Act, otherwise known as The Preserve Marriage for Straight People Act… And, I had to write to tell you I laughed my ass off. You’re great, brilliant, hilarious and right on the nose. I’m glad you’re out there doing what you do!
All the best,
Kym Tuvim

5Your piece on This American Life was exactly what I have been saying for months. How can gay marriage lessen what I have with my wife?!?
I need to get a copy of the transcript and send it too many friends.
Thanks.

6Like Kym, I lauged my ass off at your piece on TAL… or I thought I did, but then I turned around & there it was, still following me around like Carson Kressley in the fitting room after one of the straight guys on Queer Eye. Now there’s proof that their kind shouldn’t be able to marry. Someone like him would totally destroy the sanctity of marriage. NO straight guy would ever act like that……

7Adam,
Really happy to find your blog… Your piece on TAL this week had me, too, immediately looking for a transcript/recording to send around. Very nicely done…
Angus.

8So Adam’s taking over Public radio, huh?
I was wondering who was going to supplant Bob Edwards.
Talk about of all media.

Just go to the archives and bring up July 31. If you have several hours you can go through the 186 comments.
Adam, great as always.

10Hey Felber.
I’ve been waiting for the talking points memo from your corporate office for about a year and a half now. I really could use some direction here. You talk over my blog, then you leave me high and dry. If I’m to become the next Fox, I need the daily talking points memo. How about you help out this poor pathetic blogger?

13I used this post to place a bet on the panelists of Wait Wait. I was a bit surprised at the new panelist though.

14Great job on this American Life! Brilliant piece! How can I get a copy of the transcript?
The roots of racism
September 8, 2005 at 12:38 pm
15Program on the emergence of civilization.
“14 species of large animals capable of domesitcation in the history of mankind.
13 from Europe, Asia and northern Africa.
None from the sub-Saharan African continent. ”
Favor.
And disfavor.
They point out Africans’ failed attempts to domesticate the elephant and zebra, the latter being an animal they illustrate that had utmost importance for it’s applicability in transformation from a hunting/gathering to agrarian-based civilization.
The roots of racism are not of this earth.
Austrailia, aboriginals:::No domesticable animals.
The North American continent had none. Now 99% of that population is gone.
AIDS in Africa.
Organizational Heirarchy
Heirarchical order, from top to bottom:
1. MUCK - perhaps have experienced multiple universal contractions (have seen multiple big bangs), creator of the artificial intelligence humans ignorantly refer to as “god”
2. Perhaps some mid-level alien management
3. Mafia (evil) aliens - runs day-to-day operations here and perhaps elsewhere (”On planets where they approved evil.”)
Terrestrial management:
4. Chinese/egyptians - this may be separated into the eastern and western worlds
5. Romans - they answer to the egyptians
6. Mafia - the real-world interface that constantly turns over generationally so as to reinforce the widely-held notion of mortality
7. Jews, corporation, women, politician - Evidence exisits to suggest mafia management over all these groups.
Survival of the favored.
Movies foreshadowing catastrophy
1986 James Bond View to a Kill 1989 San Fransisco Loma Prieta earthquake.
They can affect the weather and Hurricane Katrina was accomplished for many reasons and involves many interests, as anything this historical is::
1. Take heat off Sheenhan/Iraq, protecting profitable war machine/private war contracts
2. Gentrification. New Orleans median home price of $84k is among the lowest in major American cities, certainly among desirable cities.
