You know, I'm just that kind of a guy. Things get so overly complex these days. It's great when you can burl it down to just the essentials. The nub, the absolute nubetry of it, of it all. And so it is this week after the UN weapons inspectors said they found something, something as UNPIN in Iraq. They found, as you know, 11 or maybe 12, empty warheads. And so the debate has gotten very, as I say, very simple.
It's on the one side, people saying, warheads. And on the other side, people saying, empty. So just take your choice, empty or warheads. A public service from Hello, Welcome to La Show.

they said they were there before we were here eating rice all day while children play you see he believes in the family just like you and me oh yellow man we understand you know we understand da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da a da da a daaaa da da da da di da da da yea he keeps his money tight as hell
whoa whoa With this yellow one, he's a yellow man. God's a happy yellow one, when you're a yellow man. Well, maybe we owe an apology to Kim Jong Il for that, or to Yao Ming. I missed Shaq's apology to Yao Ming last week, ladies and gentlemen. My apologies to you from, hello, I'm Harry Sheer from the Edge of America, from the home of the homeless welcome to another edition of the show. The big guns went on the Sunday Yacht shows this week. Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Don Rumsfeld.
I don't know if Cheney surfaced, but the rest of them were out there. Pedal in the war, peddling the imminence of something as you MPIN. We haven't decided or anything. Goodness knows. But Colin Powell, who probably is the biggest backstage genius since Flo Zigfeld at this point, but in public is reduced now to saying, basically stay tuned. Oh, we got some info coming up. Because, well, you pay your money, or actually, yeah, we are paying for this. And you take your choice. You can believe Donald Rumsfeld, who says the coalition of the willing to sign up for a war against Iraq, if it should become necessary, is growing, or the Washington Post, which says that at the United Nations Security Council,
because of changes in membership and trends in public opinion in member countries, the United States is finding it hard to get support, even from Britain. That was in great swell. Give them their tea. So you can believe either one you want. The coalition is growing. The coalition is shrinking. But as I say, Colin Powell, he has the job of basically coming out and saying, stay tuned. Oh, information coming out that'll knock your socks off. He's basically doing a promo for an upcoming date line. The country that exploded Friday. So we'll see. We are staying tuned. I don't think we can help it. Now, totally unrelated, except sometimes news stories are metaphors. If you're too cold or too hot at the office, you can always adjust the thermostat. If you have access to it, but it turns out that even if a thermostat is within reach,
it may be a fake. The Wall Street Journal quoted air conditioning experts this week as saying a lot of office thermostats aren't connected to anything. They're just there to give employees a feeling of control. And perhaps to shut them up about how hot or cold it is. Chris, are you warm? No, I'm fine. Sometimes the employer who's leasing office space doesn't even know that the thermostat is a fake. Other times, it's the employer who arranges for it. One specialist in Illinois estimated that 90% of office thermostats are dummies. Well, that's to equally the personnel ratio. No, although others say the figure is less than 2%. Okay, now the issue is joined. It's either 90% or less than 2%.
Talk about a crossfire episode. He said that sooner or later, you just this specialist in Illinois said that sooner or later, you just get tired of the complaints and just attach a phony thermostat. And he said, they quit calling you. As I say, just a new story, unless it's a metaphor. And I have no idea what it would be. A metaphor for. But there it is. I don't know if this is really a tale of some sort of security. A New York man with graves disease, a thyroid disorder, set off radiation alarms, and man happened subway stations after he was treated with radioactive iodine, according to a recent note in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The man was stripped searched by police who were on the alert for nuclear armed terrorists. This patient's experience indicates that radiation detection devices are being installed in public places in New York City. And perhaps elsewhere.
Hey, here's hoping. Patients who have been treated with radioactive iodine or other isotopes may be identified and interrogated by the police because of the radiation they emit. A doctor says he called the terrorism task force of the New York City Police Department to determine how to prevent detainment. I would have thought detention, but I'm no doctor. Of this group of patients, the terrorism task force of the New York City Police Department recommended that treating physicians' physicians provide such patients with letters describing the isotope used at its dose, its biological half-life, and the date and time of treatment. The letter should also provide the physician's 24-hour telephone numbers to allow the police to verify the content of the letters. If a person who has been detected as emitting radiation provides such a letter of the police would then verify the letter's authenticity. Even in the best case scenario, however, the patient would have to wait during this verification process. Patients should be informed about this potential problem after treatment with radioactive isotopes.
They may choose not to use public transportation to avoid this inconvenience. This is from a couple of doctors at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine. Oh, what are they? They're regular Einstein, huh? No, they're regular doctors at the Einstein. Life just gets more complicated, don't it? And this, ladies and gentlemen, from, I think this is going to be, I'm smelling a new regular feature. I don't know, but no, that's not that. That's not what you're smelling yet. But this is what I'm smelling. A regular feature called, maybe we shouldn't use humor. Because, you know, there have been some apologies and other things, shacks apology, basically. Shaquille, in any case, you don't aware, apologized for basically doing a less clever version of yellow man when asked about Yao Ming. And then said, well, you know, I'm an idiot prankster.
Sometimes my jokes are good, sometimes they're bad. And we've had apologies here where people have said, you know, maybe we should think twice before using humor again. Well, all right, here's another one. But this isn't an apology. This is just, maybe we shouldn't. Dateline Yellowstone National Park. Suzanne Lewis, the superintendent of Yellowstone National Park and the chief steward of the park and its geysers, was shocked when she sat down at home one recent night to watch television. On came a commercial for Metamusel, the laxative. Showing would look like a national park service ranger pouring a glass of Metamusel down old faithful and announcing that the product keeps the famous geyser regular. The park is in the public domain and available to all takers, although companies that want to film need a permit. Ms. Lewis said she was partly upset because of the implication that the geyser needs help to keep going. To suggest that it's not natural that it's enhanced by a product as a little disconcerting, she said. The park began receiving letters from other viewers who were offended. One was the manager of the Lake Bronson State Park in Minnesota.
Kenneth Anderson, I suppose he wrote that in an era when people sell naming rights to sports arenas. And when we hear that some even propose selling the naming rights to the Golden Gate Bridge at some of the national park service, would see nothing wrong with selling the image of a national park ranger. For the marketing of a product promoting by all the regularity. The park responded to complaints with a letter saying that proctor and gamble had not filmed the real old faithful or an actual park ranger. And that the company was therefore within its legal rights. The letter added. Quote, this advertisement goes against all of the national park services efforts to encourage people not to put foreign objects into the thermal features. Unquote. So old geyser, old faithful, is a thermal feature, ladies and gentlemen. It's not a neck enhancer. It's a thermal feature. Ms. Lewis also wrote to proctor and gamble explaining that throwing things into the geysers could cause irreparable harm. A number of the park's geysers and hot springs have already been destroyed, she wrote. Is that true? God.
We're good people. We realize it is too late to stop the damage already created by the metamusal commercial, Ms. Lewis wrote, but she asked to be put in touch with someone at the company to discuss suggestions on appropriate messages for any future projects. Projects. It's a metamusal commercial. It's not a project. Proctor and gamble had not responded to Ms. Lewis when the New York Times asked this past week, but says Dr. Greg all good. Bet he's getting a lot of jokes these days. Hey, Greg, it's all good. Stop that. Dr. Greg all good, associate director of Proctor and Gamble's Health Sciences Institute says, you're kidding. He said the company thought the commercial was so over the top that everyone would laugh. He said the company had not received Ms. Lewis's letter or heard of the complaints. Another reviewer complained to Proctor and Gamble and received this reply. Quote, consumer review groups gave this ad positive ratings before we released it. Because of those previous study results, your reaction is a surprise to us. Unquote.
That's a nice reply. Dear complainer, you're wrong. Focus Group said so. That's really what that's saying. Next time, join a focus group. If you want to have an opinion. Dr. All good. A toxicologist who wrote his doctoral dissertation on the thermophilic bacteria found at Old Faithful isn't that a coincidence. That's like the tree deal. He said he had not made the connection to viewers might get the idea that the geysers eruptions were enhanced or that it was all right to throw things into it. The vast majority of people we've heard from like this ad, he added. Clearly, when you try humor, not everybody gets it. Unquote. That's it.
That's it. That's it. The man who murdered love, yeah, what are you afraid to die? I am, the man who murdered love, yeah, what are you afraid to die? I put a bullet in his sugar head, he sank me kindly, then he laid undead Phony rose his boss and where he fled, then all the cheering angels shook my hand and said I am, the man who murdered love, yeah, what are you afraid to die? I am, the man who murdered love, yeah, what are you afraid to die? I am, the man who murdered love, yeah,л
Guilty, Guilty, Guilty, yeah I let up turns and shit, There will be no more things from broken hearts And no more love is to be told apart Before you saw me in your dungeon dock You're all I've got, been putting statues up in every corner The man who murdered love Yeah, what if it's a lie? The man who murdered love Yeah, what if it's a lie? So dear public, I'm here to confess I'm the one who freed us from this mess Love won't be calling at your address
Because what you never had, you never missed I guess I'm the man who murdered love Yeah, what if it's a lie? Oh, the man who murdered love Yeah, what if it's a lie? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh If you never ever used a word You know you're gonna lose a word If you never ever used a word Are you ever gonna miss a word? Yeah, what if it's a lie? What if it's a lie? What if it's a lie? Close enough for journalism from an email correspondent

And announced the alligator, ladies and gentlemen, those are the apologies of the week Copyrighted feature And we're extending the copyright We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Other body boat was one as we sail into the mystic Parking our gear, the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And wear that fog-horned blues, I will be coming home And wear the fog-horned blues, I wanna hear it I don't have the fear that I wanna rock your gypsy soul Just like we're back in the days of old Yeah, magnificently we will fall into the mystic And wear that fog-horned blues, I will be coming home

congressional extension of the length of copyright terms by another 20 years, a step that was taken by Congress basically to protect Mickey Mouse from going into public domain where he'd be immediately involved in a lot of pornography that the Mick rather would not be involved with. Well, I don't know about the Mick, but the mix handlers would rather he not be involved in the corner. So, Disney went to the Congress, Congress extended copyright for another 20 years, so it's now 96 years or something if a corporation owns the copyright and of course this is Hollywood, corporations on all the copyrights. That's the name of the game. And as I noted in the email newsletter, I sent out to selected listeners this week. My question is copyright and patent, as I understand it, both originated in the same provision
of the Constitution. That is to say, that's provision that the Constitution has authorizing the Congress to give these monopolies to encourage innovation and invention, artistic and scientific for limited periods of time. I think the Constitution specifies limited periods of time. My question is patents are only good for 20 years. We read about this all the time, drug companies scrambling to reinvent their drugs because the original version is losing its patent protection and is going to go generic. Does this mean the drug companies are less powerful lobbyists than Disney? And it possibly mean it? Anyway, so yes, the drug companies are, you know, we talked a while back about them having to reformulate or repackage actually, Prozac, to get a new patent because the patent was running out. And that of course drives up all the costs and everything and the costs of researching new medicines and
you know, we're in a healthcare crisis. And based on, I don't know, recent research we've discussed on this program, it seems to me there's another way for a pharmaceutical companies to go that's a win-win for us all. My asthma attacks, they're a thing of the past. So I told my friends about placebo. My chronic back pain was driving me crazy, but no more. That's why I'm telling my friends about placebo. My allergies have calmed right down. You bet I'm telling my friend about placebo. At least as effective as the leading prescription drugs when it was free. Now you can pay more, laboratory proven to make it even more effective. It's today's little white bill, placebo. If I need more, I just take more than that safe. My friends don't need. And over 50 years of testing, placebo has been shown to produce only one side effect. Relief
for my sports injuries, it gets me back in the game without interfering with other medication I may or may not be taking. I'm telling my buds, placebo is a new more potent form, a smaller little white bill. It's double strength, which means there's more of what you take up for. My two-take was driving me nuts. My dentist recommended placebo. Now I'm telling all his friends. placebo is most effective when used as part of a rigorous program of belief in medicine. People who should not not take placebo include nursing mothers, pregnant women, and those with the history of heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, or persistent pain. I need more right now. I'm telling my pharmacist. Ask your doctor if placebo is right for you. A hundred million says it is. I asked my doctor. Now he's telling my friends. placebo. Nothing is the real thing.
I can't hit by a main car, hit by a main car, driven by a guitar. Hit by a main car, driven by a guitar And the solar chauffeur says that it's all in your head When you're 20, forget it, damn Damn
My dream, she's reaching last my local event Her smile calls me over the sign of an apartment store I go hit by a main car, driven by a guitar And the solar chauffeur says that it's all in your head When you're 20, forget it, damn Ladies and gentlemen, all the anchors are going to Baghdad
Dan's there now, Peter's headed there, Tom's just back This is serious, they haven't gone anywhere in years But there's other media news as well As you know, starting back I think in December, Tom Dashel, Democratic Senate leader started it Talking about the drum beat of conservative talk radio And how the Democrats were being hurt by that He was actually blaming it for the Democrats' loss and the November election But it's becoming an increasing concern to people on that side of the political aisle That talk radio is a notoriously famously conservative medium Conservative say, well, that just helps counterbalance the liberal slant of CNN
And the New York Times and Washington Post Liberals say, hey, you got talk radio and you got Fox News You control everything now And that's a good debate, that's almost as good as weapons, empty So the buzz in liberal circles has been, we've got to find a liberal Rush Limbaugh We got to find a guy, they've tried with Mario Cuomo and Jim Hightower To find somebody to be on the radio to have the kind of influence that Democrats think Rush Limbaugh has And the demo tapes are already flooding in From the massively impressive fairness in media building Here in the heart of booming Nashville, Tennessee, I'm Al Gore
Welcome to the Gore Room Lots of requests for our, what's the Rush bumper stickers? They're going to go out there, I believe this weekend I still prefer Crush Rush Now Al Franken, we don't want to crush him, we just want to crush his ideas I want to crush him Okay, coming up this hour on the phone from the campaign trail My former running mate is one of the bright, bright prospects for 2004 Joe Lieberman Did you see this Al? President Bush I mean President Idiot Be respectful Al, he's a man who stole the presidency Down boy, we may have to put you in the lock box Anywho, President Bush declared last Thursday reverence for life day Of course that's code for, we're going to try like hell to get you born And then you're on your own
I did that right, didn't I? Yeah, pretty good Al's been giving me pointers on timing Yes, and he's giving me timers on pointing What does that mean? It means we're on radio, we got two hours to fill Yes we do So today, let's see who we're putting in Al's lock box That should be boom Let's try to change that card, okay, Karenah? Got the whole family in the control room today There's a tipper in there, somewhere She chooses all our bumper music, of course, making sure that there aren't any lyrical lapses But they're just instrumental vamps, I think Yes, but when you hear the vamp, there's an associative reaction Your brains are playing the rest of the tune in your head And you hear those lyrical I think she's on the right track there And know that is not junk science anyway The lock box today Yeah, this has got, today we're putting in the banana industry
Did you see this for narrowing down the genetic structure of the banana So narrowly, I guess the word would be, that the spread of a single, fungal disease threatens to wipe out the entire fruit of the whole banana thing I feel like I'm talking to Ed McMahon here Yes, yes, yes, we would have no bananas as the old song never did have it So for an industry that's so, so short-sightedly in danger is the world's supply of dietary potassium into the lock box Those are fun, I like those And that's true about the bananas We check this stuff out, I'm like, some other people you hear on the radio Of course, I started out as a newspaper man, that's what we were trained to do Check out the facts You know, that's why if you think the media is liberal, you know that may be why Because they check the facts and they know that we're right
Now that's weird in a way because I'll tell you something else when you run for president You find out all the media around the country that don't necessarily bother to check the facts Hey, hey, hey, Senator Lieberman's on the line right now Hello, Senator Hello, who am I speaking to? Is this Al Franken or Al Gore? You have a company of Al there This is Al Gore, Senator, I'm going to call you Mr. Vice President Welcome to the Gore Room Oh, it's great to be a part of something that's been necessary for so long A sane rational but yet entertaining outlet for what I like to call the principled opposition Oh, absolutely, and let's get right into it because we've only got a couple hours The war in Iraq Yes How does the liberal movement think it's inevitable and does the liberal movement think it's necessary? You know, I don't feel as though I speak so much as a part of a movement
More as the spearhead of a campaign, maybe even a mission to bring something back to this country that we've been sorely missing By the way, Hadass and I are so proud that the tipper is in there making this program at least one place on the air waves where you can take your children when they're old enough Well, you know, when the conservatives just crank out the same talking points all day long, I think liberal people and open-minded folks out there just really want to know whether this war might not be a mistake Well, Al, you and I may not seem eye to eye on this but I voted for the resolution in the Senate I'd do it again and I pray that I don't have to do it again Okay, let's talk about this moves the alleged president It's making to put a cap on pain and suffering rewards and medical malpractice cases So if I get this straight, Joe, the price is about to go down for committing a possibly disastrous medical mal-something
And that mean more screw-ups by our admittedly overworked physicians Well, Al, the insurance industry was getting sucked with these ridiculous $1 billion, $1 billion damage verdict by these These runaway juries who like to see themselves on the news, they did the only thing they could do in the situation Raise the cost of malpractice insurance for everybody I think the administration is on the right track here Well, they're not on the left track, that's for sure What do you think, Joe? Should I put Al in the lock box? Oh, don't get me started I don't get me started If I could ask the Senator a serious question here Al Sure, go ahead Senator Lieberman, it's so hard, as Al said, to avoid getting drowned out by all the voices from the right But when you hear Pat Robertson in these guys talking about a culture war, it's like...
Isn't that just a bad joke? I mean, Pat Robertson's idea of culture is the museum of clown paintings Yeah, yeah, where is that now? No, I mean... Oh, sure I keep telling you Al, don't kid a kidder You know, Hadas and I have been blessed with enough children to form their own Klezmer band And as parents, we're on the front lines of that war every day And our only weapons are the remote control And in a pinch the master fuse box for the whole house So we feel the way I think millions of parents across this country feel that we wouldn't mind getting a little help from the government and from Hollywood with that particular struggle You know, I wish everybody listening can see those kids, they are such beautiful kids Maybe if we're gonna TV show Hey, listen, I don't think I'm prejudiced or anything But I think that the goal room would be just as good on TV as on radio Little thing we do here every day, Joe, as you probably know, here's today's
Hero of free enterprise Donald William Crandell, Chief Financial, Chief Financial Officer of Tensity The company who stock is plummeted by about 80% in the last couple of years It gives himself a $20 million bonus and then lays off 500 employees No, I know Don, he's a good guy, a terrible golfer, but a good guy Joe Lieberman, I wish we had the whole two hours with you today But thank you for coming on and showing folks that there's a common sense side to the liberal world view Well, thank you, Al, the show sounds great I can't wait to listen to it again Thank you for having me I hope to all the Democratic presidential candidates that's only on the fairness and media network I think we should put Joe in the lockbox Alan is more liberal than now as you'd all love it
We'll be right back You're listening to the fairness and media network One night long ago, by the light of the moon An old music master sat composing it to him His spirit was soaring and his heart was full of joy When ride out of nowhere, step the little hip-cat boy You got to jump a music master, you got to play that rhythm faster You're never going to get it played on the happy-cat hip parade You better tell your friend, Beethoven And Mr. Reginald, Lake Koval, they got to do the same as you Or they're going to be corny too Long about 1917, jazz will come upon the scene Then about 1935, you begin to hear swing boogie-woogie and jive You better tell a big broadcaster that you're a solid music master And you'll achieve posterity that's a bit of advice from me Now the old music master, simply sat there amazed
As wide I'd an open mouth he gazed and he gazed Now how can you be certain, little boy? Pray tell me how Because I was born my friend a hundred years from now He hit a chord that rocked the spinach and disappeared into the infinite And up until the present day, you could take her from me He says why it's going to be But I'm just happy that way He says why it's going to be But I'm just happy that way

From deep inside your radio. Boy, this was a tight one, ladies and gentlemen, don't get excited, it was just getting the show on the air. There were guys here making arrangements and making new arrangements, just dried up until the last minute, very exciting. Ladies and gentlemen, starting off, because it's going to get grim, you know that, a couple of items from the lighter side of the file, don't you know, the file pile. You've seen those commercials that try to make marijuana smokers feel guilty for funding terrorists, two guys in the restaurant, the one thoughtful, dark-haired guy, he likes
to smoke pot, but he doesn't want to fund terrorists, but he's not sure that he really is. And his friend, slightly older, a little condescending, yeah, big problem, big real complicated problem. No drugs, no drug customers, no drug money, no drug money, no drug pushers, no drug pushers, no drug terrorists, no drug, better make me think, no dark-haired guy ends the commercial. Hmm, not so complicated, goes back and eats lunch. Probably won't smoke pot that afternoon. You probably also know Ariana Huffington, and her associates have developed a series of similar commercials, tying SUVs to support of Saddam Hussein, because of course they consume a lot of oil. Now, now it isn't gentlemen, something else you might not want to consume, if you really think about the long-term chain of the chain of custody of the funds that you'll provide.
On the BBC today, and talk about bearing the lead, this is like way, way down in their newscast, just apropos of something else. They happen to mention this fact, 90% of the world's caviar trade is controlled by the Russian mafia. That's right, every time you eat caviar, you're supporting the Russian mafia. So you might want to, you know, you might want to think about it. You might want to have those domestic fish eggs. And ladies and gentlemen, part of our continuing series, be careful where you use humor, because so many people get burned by it, so many of the apologies we've been dealing with on the apologies that we have to do with inappropriate use of humor. So we're starting a new department just to keep track of people who get burned when they
touch that frying pan, the frying pan of humor. Are we supposed to pass a statute that says, please use common sense? Unquote, that's what representative Marty Ciphert, a Republican, wondered aloud last week after reading, I don't know what state this is, Marshall didn't indicate what state. Anyway, he wondered that allowed last week after reading that the state's welfare agency used $40,000 to have a comedian teach its employees about using humor in the workplace. The comedian is not named, I know a couple I'd suggest for that job, teaching the state's welfare agency employees about using humor in the workplace and the legislature is upset. Because that may not be the place you want to use humor or may just be you can get a comedian for less than $40,000, I don't know, hello, welcome to this show. But yeah,
with the silk I just love it with the silk Now we gotta hurt you see Oh, we gotta hurt you see Oh, we gotta hurt you Oh, now we gotta hurt you see Oh, we gotta hurt you see Oh, we gotta hurt you I just hate how good I'm gonna stand back for injustice Why can't you, why can't you, why can't you Yes, I wanna turn it right away To justice Now I know, my health is still And I'm getting fired up by a man That's just a picture

Oh, you're in love. As I said, this looks like a rerun of a bad movie, and I'm not interested in watching it. No, no, no, no, thank you. No, no, no, no, Mr. President, this is a fresh, fresh live show. From the edge of America, from the home of the homeless, I'm Harry Scherer, welcoming you to the show. That was George Bush, George W. President. Think of it, George W. Bush this week about the Iraq situation. I think that we'll take that as our text for today, because it's so pithy. As I said, this looks like a rerun of a bad movie, and I'm not interested in watching it. Yeah, okay. He likes the new stuff. I guess those comedians could work in the welfare agency. You think you're hungry? You should see my brother-in-law. I wish you get a job. We'd find out what kind of work he's out of. That would help. Help to deliver the joke faster. Ladies and gentlemen, Walter Isaacson lost in the fufuru about Steve Case, stepping down his chairman of AOL Time Warner, just before it busts up in tanks.
Walter Isaacson also stepped down as head of CNN, because his work is done. But he gave a quote to the New York observer that just tells you how much he missed the point. When you take the job at CNN, if you think this is the fight, you've missed the point. Quote, that's one of the great challenges that newspapers, magazines, and TV face. How do you make quality journalism sell as good as covering car crashes? Unquote. First of all, of course, it would be sell as well. Secondly, it never did. It's not supposed to. You're supposed to fight for the right... Oh my God. The guy came from time, spent 25 years at Time Magazine. That's what he learned. The challenge is to make quality journalism sell as good as car crashes.
Close circuit to Walter Isaacson. It never will, babe. Choose a different challenge if that's what you think. The challenge is to get the people who own the company to pay for it with the money they make on the car crashes. Get it? Thank you. Do I have to educate everybody? Ladies and gentlemen, from Barons, sent in by a listener, no, I don't read Barons. This is apropos of the increasing success of reality shows, so called because, of course, they depict no reality. This week, American Idol became the highest, most watched show in the history of Fox. Imagine, more people watch that than watched the new adventures of Beans Baxter, even. It's quote, the reality show success has producers lusting for increasingly bizarre ideas. Barons recently spoke with a West Coast producer who asked not to be named.
Well, take that up with your parents. It's too late now. We're looking, quote. And for a person of extreme wealth, with lots of toys, who's very eccentric, very philanthropic, she said, someone who has everything except kids. Reason? To Mount A, quote, touchy-feely program, unquote, in which 12 to 15 young, parentless adults compete to be adopted by a lonely benefactor. What? 12 to 15 young, parentless adults. That takes care of the legal problems. And the other problems compete to be adopted by a lonely, older benefactor, which network would put on such a potentially tasteless, but possibly high rated show. Let's just say, says, Barons, it's one of Rupert Murdoch's favorites. Well, oh, yeah, he has kids. Okay. Still, why don't you just let them be adopted by Rupert? Can I watch TV?
Only Fox. Oh. Ladies and gentlemen, a new word, at least new to me, came into prominence this week in the news. Do you know about astroturfing? Has nothing to do with the Super Bowl? Astroturfing, ladies and gentlemen. It's tribute, first of all, to the marvelous power of the English language. Because astroturfing draws its derivation from the phenomenon of grass roots, political activity. People here, down here at the grass roots, which itself is a cool phrase, us responding to the people up on the hill, don't you know? Letters from constituents, such and such. So astroturfing is the faking of grass roots sediment. That is to say, the blanket emailing of email supporting President Bush and Iran, this
Iran, Iraq, to opinion leaders and media all over the country. And it works except that people in the media all over the country have noticed that all of the astroturfed emails have identical language. So they don't have that randomizer set to seven yet. The language randomizer in the astroturfing computer. But it's a work in progress. Astroturfing, ladies and gentlemen, isn't that exciting? We learned something new and disgusting almost every day. And speaking of which, it's now time for the apologies of the week. Shall we start at the top?
What do you think? You don't have to answer. That's a totally rhetorical question. If you find yourself talking back to the radio, seek professional help immediately. Ladies and gentlemen, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld responded to growing criticism for his recent remarks about draftees adding no value to the US military, offered a full apology this week to veterans groups and their supporters in Congress. Hundreds of thousands of military draftees served over the years with great distinction and valor many being wounded and still others killed. Rumsfeld sent it a letter, sent to the American Legion, Vietnam Veterans of American and other veterans organizations. The last thing I would want to do would be to disparage their service. This was in response to demands from those groups and lawmakers from both parties angered by his comments two weeks ago in response to a question about legislation calling for reinstating the draft. Rumsfeld said he opposed the proposal, adding the draftees added, quote, no value, no advantage really to the United States Armed Services over any sustained period of time. He has apologized.
He acknowledged that his statement on the draft was, quote, not eloquent, unquote. What he meant, Rumsfeld explained was not the draftees added no value while they were serving. They added great value. I was commenting on the loss of that value when they left the service. By no value, I mean they had too much value. The Zimbabwean government has been forced to issue a groveling apology to South Africa. It's most important neighbor following an intemperate outburst by a prominent Zimbabwean minister. Jonathan Moyo, president Robert Mugabe's information minister, had described South Africans as, quote, filthy, recklessly uncouth and barbaric. And implied that President Tabo and Beke was unfit to lead the African renaissance. As remarks had been reported in the state-owned newspaper, well, what do you want then? State-owned newspaper. Information minister, how would they get his quotes right?
Mr. and Beke was said to have been outraged and with South Africa being the Mugabe regime's only lifeline in terms of power and fuel, Zimbabwe had to issue an obsequious apology. A foreign ministry spokesman said Mr. Moyo was merely expressing his personal opinion. Oh, okay, that's fine then. If he's just his personal opinion that South Africans are filthy and barbaric, then everything's fine. At Zimbabwe, the apology continued, wishes to assure our brothers and sisters in South Africa that we respect the role of President Mugabe to bring about the dawn of a new Africa and is confident, oh, Zimbabwe, is confident that he has the attributes to fulfill his role. Filthy and uncouth. No, that's a personal thing. Do you know about the game of tag at a scout camp in Denmark where children acted as Jews wearing yellow stars of David and tried to escape from adults pretending to be Nazis? It's good fun. The group of about 160 scouts aged 11 and 14 included a dozen teenagers from the Danish
speaking minority in Northern Germany. The school yard was turned into a concentration camp with swastikas on the windows. The local branch of the Danish Christian FDF scout organization organized the game last weekend about 160 miles southwest of Copenhagen. Don't call it Copenhagen. They hate that. Yes, Emer of the local FDF scout chapter told a tabloid newspaper that they, quote, may have crossed the line this time with a night game where Nazis chased Jews. The school yard included a sign with the German words, work will set you free the infamous inscription over the entrance to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. I don't know whether I should apologize, Emer told the newspaper, adding, quote, I didn't want to hurt, I didn't want the game to hurt anyone. It may have crossed the line. It doesn't know whether to apologize. We'll keep tabs on that. Jack Nicholson didn't talk much about his golden globe backstage.
Hey, how about those globes? He didn't talk much about his golden globe backstage with reporters, but he did talk about Nebraska rather than Crow about his best actor, Trophy, for about Schmidt. Well, why would you brag about a golden globe, only 80 people vote for it, then your studio paid them off? Oh, I, he apologized to the people of Omaha, Nebraska, where he filmed the movie. Nicholson said he's heard that residents are up in arms because he walked around in his rented house naked at all hours of the night. You, Nicholson apologized, but added that he didn't think Omaha was awake at 4 in the morning. That sounds like a set up for the next apology. Deadline Buffalo disgruntled police officers have delayed hundreds of motorists with traffic checkpoints at peak hours, leading the police commissioner to apologize. Checkpoints have made motorists late to work and left school children waiting in frigid cold for late school buses. The commissioner, Rocco Deina, said officers are frustrated over the city's decision to appeal a police pay raise.
For those citizens inconvenienced unnecessarily, he said, you have my apology as the Buffalo police commissioner. Who is inconvenienced necessarily? Like can we have that list and we will rescind the apology to those specific people? And maybe the best apology of the week, Deadline Newport, Washington, oh, this is the name of a county that I can't even begin to pronounce, Penn O'Reill County in Washington state. Thank God we're not on the air up there. Penn O'Reill County commissioner Mike Hanson referred to Martin Luther King Jr. Day as quote, Saint Sambo's Day during a commission meeting last week, according to Sheriff Jerry Weeks, Hanson made the remark at the commissioner's meeting on Monday. When used in reference to black people, Sambo was considered a racially disparaging term according to the Spokane Spokesman review. I was slack-jawed and I have been struggling with it ever since as a moral dilemma the sheriff said, I feel I should have done something and maybe still should do something but what? Hanson did not deny making the remark but wouldn't confirm it.
I wouldn't verify that. He said, I wouldn't even give it credence. I may have made a remark but I don't think it was in that tone. Somebody said something about equating Martin Luther King Jr. Day to Christmas. Hanson said there was something said in those terms. The commissioners were discussing the need to reschedule a Monday meeting when he heard Hanson, when the sheriff heard Hanson referred to an unfamiliar holiday, I'm thinking what holiday can that be? So I asked him what he said, the sheriff said. He looked at me and he said, St. Sambo's Day and I was flabbergasted. But no, but there's no apology here yet. Although there is, it's not really an apology. But it's a cute, cute, cute, cute story and when you're lacking in apology ladies and gentlemen. That's almost just as well. Anyway, we'll look for an apology next week from him and those are the Apologies of the Week of Copyrighted Feature.
I'll see you later… Can't imagine us America, Brazil Can't imagine us, Brazil, Janice
Can't imagine the light of your head Can't imagine us, Can't imagine the light of your head Can't imagine us America, Brazil Can't imagine us, Can't imagine us Can't imagine us, Can't imagine us Can't imagine us, Can't imagine us Can't imagine us America Can't imagine us America

More than the United States, Britain and Christ Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! That's what we're making off, Being 256谢谢 We're population rising, Graduation, Here's a cute quote in the cute file from President George W. Bush speaking to some officials of other governments, concerned, officials concerned about the economy, the economic consequences
of this war that may be in the offing or off the inning, quote, the risk premium of Saddam Hussein launching an attack on America doesn't compare to the risk premium of removing him, Bush said, meaning the cost, I guess. Saddam Hussein launching an attack on America. The maximum range of the missiles that we know he has is about 150 miles, so unless continental drift is happening a lot faster than I think, that risk premium, I don't know, I don't know how he calculates that. Maybe global warming is going to cause nobody doesn't believe in that either. The official quoted Bush is saying he wants to get any military action over, quote, as quickly as possible, adding this could have a beneficial byproduct for the economy. No common necessary, huh? The LA Times rousing itself from its torpor reported this week from Washington, the Pentagon is quietly preparing for the possible use of nuclear
weapons in Iraq, including the possible use of so-called bunker buster nuclear weapons against deeply buried military targets. One of the few countries already signed up to be part of the coalition of the willing countries on our side if we go to war with Iraq regardless of what the UN does is Australia, whose conservative prime minister, John Howard, has said he opposes any use of nuclear weapons in the conflict. Quote, if I thought there were going to be nuclear weapons used, I would not allow Australian forces to be involved. People will stop, unquote, minus one member of the coalition, I guess. Tony Blair and George Bush have privately agreed that any possible war against Iraq will be delayed for at least four weeks during which time they will work tirelessly to persuade France, not to veto the second UN resolution, to ensure that all military personnel and hardware is in place for a likely attack at the start of March and to utilize every possible moment
to win the hearts and minds of the American British public. The U.S. has also understood to be ready to compromise our plans to monopolize the post-war oil industry in Iraq using only U.S. oil firms. The U.S. government has promised to hold the Iraqi oil fields in trust for the people of Iraq, is looking like an international U.S. led promise to spread the spoils between U.S., French, Chinese, and Russian oil companies. If of course the Russians, sorry, it's a French-don't veto, the UN resolution. Meanwhile, Donald Rumsfeld, cruising for another apology, maybe, is dismissing France and Germany for their opposition to the likely war, dismissing France and Germany as part of the old Europe. French politicians react with fury after Rumsfeld dismissed the two allies.
Rosalind Baschelot, the Environment Minister of France, had Mr. Rumsfeld was talking Combrones word. Combrones was a French general who, when wounded at Waterloo, said simply, quote, shared, unquote. So the Bush administration will be working tirelessly to win the hearts and minds. That doesn't necessarily mean evidence. So possibly they could use arousing anthem. Got a call from the Chief, offered serious relief, said if you feel weird, just be glad
that you're not a man. Oh, when Bush comes to show, he'll reign death from above till our boys get bored from the lack of booze. Like when like, turns to love, when Bush comes to show, a winner national law, you're not the drink, you're just the straw for a moment, it's your cover that we use. Alternity in France started up the old Europe dance and Russia wasn't very far behind. Then Rumsfeld and Powell laid it on with a trowel, said the oil is there, you get your share, if you change your mind. Oh, when Bush comes to show, even he's more present go, and 10,000 robo e-mails are agreed. No who's saying can't lay a glow, when Bush comes
to show, oh Hitler's back in town, and we've got to take it down, he doesn't even know how to use TV. Oh, the word came in from Blake's, it's neither Yan or Nix, so nobody can find that smoking gun. Oh, a crackhead of fests, you can't compete with our press, always in control, even at the sixteenth hole, and who cares what happens once we've won. Oh, when Bush comes to show, we'll rate victory from above, that we'll make it all feel proud of who we are, here on far, like when light turns to love, when Bush comes to show, who never is increased, throughout the Middle East, just don't let our girls
go. So just try to drive a car. Oh, boy. Bush comes to show, Bush comes to show, Bush comes to show, Bush comes to show, Bush comes to show, Bush comes to show. I'm no ordinary girl, with ordinary needs, and I want to thank you for the times when I'm not strong, the times when you can see, and I want to thank you for having the kind of love that scares me, that scares me, I'm no Sunday in the South, I'm no picnic
in the park, and I want to thank you for the way you understand when I'm a child lost in the dark, and I want to thank you for having the kind of love that scares me, that scares me, that scares me, that scares me.
Oh, and I wasted so much time, fighting what I need, and I want to thank you for the kindness in your eyes, when you tell me tell you how I feel, and I want to thank you for having the kind of love, having the kind of love, having the kind of love that scares me, that scares me, that scares me, and I want to thank you for having the kind
love that scares me, that scares me. Oh, and I want to thank you for having the kind of love that scares me, that scares me, that scares me. Super Sunday, around the world.
Here in Reykjavik, the 90's Thai gilling colored strips of fur and ribbon to the street lamps that illuminate the long night time winter, each super Sunday, exchanges of small gifts of meat or fish pies are commonplace. In the evening, children troop through the frozen streets, throwing candy into trash cans. The day climaxes at three the next morning, when lines at Finnish dialos sport are jammed with colors anxious to know the final score, and then to bed. For in Finland, the day after Super Sunday is Wilga Fjorsk, or a normal working day. This is Bill Malod in Finland with them. The day comes at fourth one.
I knew the South African called Hannibal Rockin' room, sendin' the bell out of the room When I can see the Roman Empire fall Uh-huh, uh-huh 2000 elephants in full chain, man They, she, me or just wanna be That Roman legion has a hit to treat Uh-huh, tellin' it The world is watchin' make it The world is watchin' make it Why play a poppin' with a major slam Jumped out turn around with the Rockin' room She went to find herself a mighty man
Uh-huh, uh-huh Can't come on Tony, hope for me to leave Uh-huh, uh-huh They never knew how the girl would be Uh-huh The world is watchin' make it The world is watchin' make it The world is watchin' make it Oh, sir, uh-huh Oh, uh-huh Oh, uh-huh Uh-huh, uh-huh Don't stop the hitman with your no-can-do, losing, losing, working all the night to clean up the windows, let the sun shine through. There ain't no happy time if I don't clean.
