Ace, End of first paragraph, "length" spelled wrong.

Free, probably slightly annoying proofreading service!!

Ace...you should ask Lowry about the return of the now-defunct 9/11 Commission? Does he know whether we're paying these a-holes any government money?

I hope not.

Ace, me again, "Hoist the Black Flat"?

So are you discussing paint matching? I tend to prefer gloss black myself with a coat of flat varnish myself...

Thnk there's a pair of black flats in my closet that I never wear anymore.
If Ace wants to hoist a shoe in the air to make some arcane political statement, he can use mine.

"Hematite", you effing moron.

Now get back to comparing modern political figures with 80s movies lest I have to work.

Mancrush.

Loose shit. Bush was 77, Kerry 76.

Mancrush?

I would say more like man in LOVE...

Ace does impressions!

Am I the only one listening?

I was just wondering the same thing.

Woo hoo! F-bomb!

I'm listening. Ace just said "fuck"! hehehe

Whoops. Missed that.

Do you guys have access to, you know, ratings?

ace:

I liked last weeks show very much, thank you.

This week, too much talking over each other and laughing, making it difficult to hear. I will admit that I don't have the best speakers on my laptop, so it may be my problem - except for the cross talk.

A little too much talking over eachother.

Sound bites a little ill-timed.

Otherwise another good show.

Please forgive me if this posting seems inappropriate. I need a favor from Conservative political blogs. If you have a moment, please read this posting on my blog, and then let me know when I can return the favor. Thanks.

Best show yet, very interesting and funny. Karol needs a bleep button though. I think I'm starting to get this whole 'South Park Conservative' concept.

Karol needs a bleep button though.

She's already got one: her foot.

So, does the replay have ace saying fuck in it? If so, where? I don't want to miss it twice.

I just got home, so haven't been able to listen to the Ace show yet, but wanted to offer up a radio-related tip for sometime in about five weeks' time (estimated): NPR should be broadcasting the City Arts & Lectures talk with Christopher Hitchens that I went to this evening. In the heart of San Francisco, in a theater filled to the brim with mostly middle-aged leftists, Hitch was on f'in fire.

Many highlights, but my favorite was his response to a question that raised a favorite meme among liberals - namely, that America is so hated overseas, and isn't he concerned about all the anti-Americanism and all the new enemies that we're supposedly creating through our recent foreign policy? Hitch countered with his account of all the new friends and allies the US is making in places like Iran, free Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and elsewhere; and told the audience to stop acting embarrased to be Americans, not only because we're currently on the right side of history, but because the posture they were taking was pathetic and unbecoming. I was one of about 20 people clapping madly at the end of that passage, while the rest of the theater just sat there and stewed. Priceless. Also nice was his calling out of our mayor for his idiotic line about how the money spent on Iraq would be better spent at home.

Anyway, check your local NPR station's schedule in 4 or 5 weeks for the broadcast.

I love Ace's commenters and I check in here during the show to read what you guys are saying. I'd love to get some criticism/advice from y'all. I'm soliciting it here: http://www.alarmingnews.com/archives/003115.html (sorry to link to myself in the comment section but I figure if Goomba up there can do it, I certainly can too.)

I sat on hold for a while (and I would gladly have said "Long time listener, first time caller," had I made it through), like through the middle third of the show, meaning I got to listen to Ace & Karol banter with the producer/engineer? during the commercial breaks (and scream my lungs out, for they could not hear me).

I was going to ask you to riff on the smart guys = bad presidents thing from the beginning. Eventually it dawned on me that in this business of show, you gotta keep your shit fresh, and that you wouldn't want to talk about something you mentioned off-the-cuff in the opening minutes by the time the end of the show came around. So I hung up.

Where's ace? No after show appearance and no where to be seen the next day. Has he succumbed to his man-crush?

He's recovering.
After that F-bomb he was savagely worked over by the non-Southpark Republicans.

I think 'Rob and Amber's Wedding,' really wiped him out. Yesterday Karol found him playing and replaying his now fuzzy tape, curled up on his couch, ' surrounded by empty Hagen Daz containers and used tissues.

*red eyes, tears streaming down face*"...dress... so pretty.... so pretty... so pretty..."

Lucky they even got out a show.

Caught the repeat a day late.

Good show, you guys. Heavy on the funny, good guests. I like the new mix a lot.

Heh.
