Next time in Studio 360, it's what actually makes the world nice right now, is that there's so much crap playing around. I'm Tom Schnabel, please join me Sunday's Noontail 2 for a taste of some great music new and classic from around the world, Cafe LA, Sunday's Noontail 2 here on 89.9 KCRW. This broadcast has to be originating in Southern California this week because everybody

else is here, I would feel so left out if I was the only media personage not originating a broadcast in Southern California because this recall is big baby, awful big and there will be of course much, much, much, much, that's one too many much is more about it in this broadcast. First of all, a tip of the Lachosha Poe and a welcome aboard to KQED San Francisco. It's about time and apropos of the revelations. If revelations they be in the California, well, basically in the Los Angeles dog trainer over the last few days about the alleged, there we go, serial, thank you, sexual groping

of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the serial defenses erected, thank you, by the Schwarzenegger campaign in response, we'll get to the main one, there was, it's been like who's, who stages of reaction to death, first is denial, then you know, anyway, so is denial, apology, amnesia, like he can't remember doing this stuff, he apologized for it, then he can't remember doing it, then attacking the Los Angeles Times on the basis that why would they wait if they did not have a nefarious intent, why would they wait until the five days before the election to start printing the accusations by these women of his sexual groping escapades,

which just tells me one thing ladies and gentlemen that Arnold, like me, doesn't read the dog trainer because those who do know that especially where news of Los Angeles and California is concerned, the LA Times is always late, hello, welcome to the show.

We were turning at key inside, take it in a moment From the edge of America from the home of the homeless Yes, don't even try to compete I'm Harry Shira welcoming you to this edition of the show And talking about burying the lead, which we do on occasion here Because they get buried, the key newsly item in a news story So often is weighed down there So from Saturday's New York Times By the way, Los Angeles Times, I want to be fair They're working on it probably before Election Day They're working on a story which they'll have ready about Great Davis' lack of charisma So look for that Anyway, from the New York Times, weighed deep down in a story about Iraqis say US occupation authority misspens millions

in its awarding of contracts Well, that's newsy enough, but dig this An American businessman who would not allow his name to be used said the occupation authority, that's us Was doling out contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars by simply telephoning favored companies and announcing I have a contract for you As he characterized a telephone call he received this week A member of the Iraqi governing council That's us disguised as them Said, I hope Congress knows what is going on But if they don't know and we don't know Then God help everybody, unquote I'll sign onto that I have a contract for you I've been sent in by my phone all week long ladies and gentlemen I have not received that call I cannot tell you the depth of my Here's a quote that just went nowhere And if current leadership allowed itself to be questioned

By, let me use a term of art here Just imagine that this type of person existed Journalists Maybe this quote would have had some legs As it was, it kind of was spoken and died on Tuesday This is apropos of the investigation of the leaking Of the name of the CIA agent operative employee By somebody in the administration to Robert Novak purportedly to retaliate against the agent's husband Former ambassador Wilson for going public with the fact that Iraq did not buy uranium from Niger There he goes again with Frenchifying All right, so here's President Bush on Tuesday President Bush said Tuesday he welcomes Justice Department investigation into who revealed the classified identity Of a CIA operative

If there's a leak out of my administration I want to know who it is Okay, so far so good Further quote, if the person has violated law That person will be taken care of Unquote As I say, if just imagine, just go with me on this Imagine that there's somebody in Washington called a journalist who says Mr. President, what do you mean by that? Do you mean Prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law Or sent to Bermuda with a cushy stipend However Larry King did not ask that question Well, I'm thinking of journalists And so there it sits Let's just file that away because we may want to remember that As this thing moves along Assuming it has legs If the person has violated law That person will be taken care of George W. Bush, ladies and gentlemen Here's a quote worth remembering

Colin Powell unmeat the press The 7th of September of this year At the proposal of the intelligence The United States had about Saddam Hussein's weapons programs We put forward to the world The best intelligence information that we had That he had weapons and that he had programs David Kay is in charge of our effort now With some 1,500 inspectors and analysts and experts He will provide an interim report later this month And I'm confident that when people see what David Kay puts forward They will see that there was no question That such weapons exist Existed and so did the programs to develop more First thing in that group of three was that such weapons exist There'll be no question when David Kay is in a room report Comes out that such weapons exist David Kay's report came out this week Reporting that no such weapons exist So far So there's a question

He said we can't draw any conclusions So that implies that there can be some question This is from the Washington Post With US and British forces having found no evidence of weapons of mass destruction And the four months since I think The disagreements between the allies intelligence agencies Highlight how little they actually knew About Hussein's weapons programs before the war New British information Showed there were two points in which the US and British agreed There was no evidence before the war That Hussein had given chemical or biological materials to terrorists And they would probably I think I read this, this has been around Never, never hurts to repeat the obvious does it The Bush administration's optimistic statements earlier this year that Iraq's oil wealth would cover most of the cost of rebuilding it Iraq were at odds with a bleaker assessment of a government task force secretly established last fall To study Iraq's oil industry According to New York Times

The task force based at the Pentagon Produced a book length report Well that's the problem Cut it down to a page so the guys can read it It described the Iraqi oil industry as so badly damaged by a decade of trade embargoes Oh I say, I thought it was That evil Saddam didn't fund the infrastructure No, the Pentagon says The Iraqi oil industry was so badly damaged by a decade of trade embargoes That its production capacity had fallen by more than 25% Despite those findings Paul Wolfowitz told Congress We are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction and relatively soon Vice President Cheney said on the day Baghdad fell a Rocks oil production could hit three million barrels a day by the end of the year Even though the task force had determined that Iraq was generating less than 2.4 million barrels a day before the war So we knew but we didn't know These book length things Who's supposed to, yeah yeah I had a nice shelf it looked nice but I'm supposed to read that Also from the Washington Post

The US official in charge of the search for Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction is pursuing the possibility that the Iraqi leader was bluffing Where was that possibility first Brute it about April 6th oh on this program of course just in the in the in the guise of humor Tony Blair privately admitted that this is all news from outs well some of it's from inside the bubble now The bubble is Permeating itself Tony Blair privately admitted however this is this is from outside the bubble Tony Blair privately admitted that Saddam Hussein could not attack British or United States troops with chemical or biological weapons Two weeks before Britain went to war against Iraq That according to Britain's former foreign secretary who resigned in protest over the war This is in his memoirs which he sold to Rupert Murdoch's London Sunday Times for more than half a million dollars Ramen Cook recalls he was given an intelligence briefing on Iraq by the chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee Cook said the presentation was impressive in its integrity and shorn of the political slant

With which number 10 down extruding cumbers any intelligence assessment my conclusion at the end of an hour is that Saddam probably does not have weapons of mass destruction In the sense of weapons that could be used against large scale civilian targets Two weeks later he discussed that briefing with Blair Cook told Blair he doubted Saddam had weapons of mass destruction that could strike strategic cities Might have battlefield weapons Blair replied yes but all the effort he's put into concealment makes it difficult for him To assemble them quickly for use These remarks appeared to contradict directly the assertion in the September dossier that it could make his weapons ready for use in 45 minutes The claim at the center of the blah blah blah with BBC and David Kelly Cook also discloses Blair told him US president George W. Bush wanted to go to war in September last year but was restrained by Blair from doing so Blair's spokesperson said the idea that he ever said that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction is absurd

Not denying it ladies and gentlemen just says it's absurd Some Pentagon officials say the current low level insurgency situation in Iraq will act as a fly paper Luring Islamic militants to where they could be killed But that interpretation which depends on there being a finite number of al-Qaeda fighters has been given short shrift by some experts It just doesn't make a lot of sense says professor Richard stole a political scientist at rice If you kill 1000 al-Qaeda in Iraq then I just don't believe the worldwide level of al-Qaeda is going to go down by 1000 Says stole we're seeing lots of new recruits because of Iraq Maybe they just wanted to get a phone call saying I have a contract for you You know that could draw people that could be fly paper

And in a week that has seen more than five five more US combat deaths The commander of military forces in Iraq that's us indicated that resistance to the occupying troops is strengthening Or in Americans to brace for more casualties General Ricardo Sanchez said at his weekly news briefing this is still wartime Interesting There's still some intense fighting to be done especially out in the west We should not be surprised if one of these mornings we wake up and there's been a major firefight The general added the resistance was showing signs of improved organization Why don't you offer them contracts? Forget the American companies they can do they can do fine by themselves Offer some contracts to the resistance That would be my recommendation ladies and gentlemen but you know they don't ask me Heck they don't even tell me

I think at this point in the proceedings it may be time to get back to where we started And that would be ladies and gentlemen with our copyrighted feature The apologies of the week We're so sorry Have to start with this one What I want to say to you is that yes, that I have behaved badly sometimes Yes, it is true that there was a rowdy movie sets And I have done things that were not right which I thought then was playful But now I recognize that I have offended people And those people that I have offended I want to say to them I'm deeply sorry about that And I apologize because that's not what I'm trying to do Guess who? Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday responding to the first of three Los Angeles Times Data dumps of women alleging sexual groping by Schwarzenegger

Some cute details One woman who said he stuck her his tongue down her throat despite her lack of desire for the same Said he just been smoking a cigar And she said it wasn't like licking an ash tray it was like licking an ash tray full of human flesh We'll get to one more cute allegation at the end of the apologies here But the co-host of a popular sports show in Boston has apologized for on-air comments Comparing a zoos escaped gorilla to inner city students who use a voluntary busing program John Dennis made the remark Monday on Boston's WEEI After seeing a newspaper photograph of the gorilla standing by a bus stop Dennis and the station had apologized to schools and busing officials And the station was offering to air public service spots for the busing program This senator Christopher Kitt bond Republican and Missouri fired his communications director Ernie Blasar

After bond viewed an anti-democratic website that Blasar had constructed The site was named N8354N after the number on the tail of the plane that crashed in 2000 Killing then Missouri governor Mel Carnahan a Democrat Along with his son Anna-Nade Bond who's seeking a fourth turn next year would not answer questions about Blasar But he's a statement from his office that the actions of a member of my staff And using official computers to make hurtful personal attacks on public servants Were totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated I offer my sincere apologies And those of my staff do all those offended by these messages CNN's Tucker Carlson thought he was having a bit of fun when during a crossfire segment Of which he defended telemarketers He was asked for his home number but recited the number of the Fox News Washington Bureau instead Fox retaliated by posting Carlson's unlisted Virginia home number on its website After his wife was deluged with obscene calls, Carlson says he went to Fox's Washington Bureau Friday to complain Was told his number would be taken down if he apologized on the air

Carlson who did apologize on crossfire but also criticized Fox's former retaliation now says Of Fox, quote, there are a mean sick group of people Unquote A suburban Philadelphia hospital apologized to employees for complying with a man's demand that no black staff members assist in the delivery of his child Abbington Memorial Hospital supervisors kept black staff members including doctors and nurses From entering the room with a man's wife for several days last month A decision called morally reprehensible by hospital president Richard L. Jones, Jr The hospital supervisors were trying to avoid a confrontation with the patient's husband But were wrong to accommodate his wishes, said a spokesperson The patient and her husband could not be identified because of privacy laws An angry president, Jacques Chirac of Freedom Land, excuse me France, forced the Polish government to withdraw claims that its troops had found four French anti-aircraft missiles manufactured earlier this year at a weapons dump in Iraq Poland's Defense Ministry expressed regret over the reports first made on Friday evening that it had uncovered missiles which could only have been supplied to Iraq in breach

The UN embargo Polish soldiers Sorry, the Polish statement released in Warsaw did not assuage President Chirac's fury As suggestions France may have supplied Saddam Hussein's regime with weapons in the months before the U.S.-Land invasion I believe that Polish soldiers have created a confusion that could have been avoided with thorough verification, he said Another radio DJ's in trouble He apologized on the air Friday for making comments who were perceived as threats toward a fair port Middle school teacher fair port Barry Beck of the Breakfast Buzz Show and WBZ AFM, I guess it's Connecticut And his son made comments on the show about Marie, I'm not going to name her, an eighth grade technology teacher at Martha Brown Middle School This is just radio, ladies and gentlemen, not a big deal Governor Mitt Romney telephoned U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy to distance himself from public comments by his top press aid linking Arnold Schwarzenegger's womanizing to old rumors about Kennedy

Romney said the AIDS remarks were a real mistake The governor apologized for the remarks when pressed by reporters But he said he would not reprimand press Secretary Sean Fetteman or those on his senior staff who made the decision to issue the controversial statement He's now decided not to come to California to campaign for Arnold Schwarzenegger A Dallas High School band director has apologized for a halftime performance that included Adolf Hitler's anthem, Deutsche Landuber Alus, and a student running across the field with a Nazi flag See, it's always funny Charles Grissom Paris High School's band director said his intention was to have a historical performance featuring the flags and music of the nations that fought during World War II The show titled Visions of World War II nearly caused a melee at Friday night's football game at Hillcrest High in Dallas We were booed, he said, we had things thrown at us, we were cursed Assistant coaches were even targeted as they made their way through the bleachers They got blasted and cursed

So you've seen all the, probably the reports of the reports about Arnold Tracing with his finger around the nipple of a woman's breast, fondling breasts, fondling buttocks, slipping his hand Here or there, shoving his body against people, sticking his tongue down a couple of women's throats Mouths into their mouths, I don't know how long his tongue is Not known, LA Times is working on that But here, from the dog trainer, my favorite of the items Woman said she'd introduced herself to the actor in the recording studio where they were working Told him to let her know if he needed any coffee, juicer, snack Shortly after she left the room, the woman said Schwarzenegger and another man came out The man said Schwarzenegger wanted his raising bagel toasted Bagel, he eats bagels, how could he be on his... She said Schwarzenegger followed to the kitchen, spun her around, pinned her to his chest, and swatted her buttocks five or six times Then she said, he whispered in her ear, this is what should happen at your house, every morning

When Schwarzenegger loosened his grip, the woman said she ran out But he followed grabbing her hands and commenting on her lack of a wedding ring She said, as she started walking back to the recording studio, she said Schwarzenegger told her By the way, I love it that you're not wearing underwear The woman said she retorted, I am wearing underwear, you idiot It's tough stuff And as I say, the Schwarzenegger campaign first reacted with denials, then an apology, then defiance And now, they've got a new commercial on the air that attempts to deal with the question Almost hit on California For the last eight weeks, I've moved my body up and down the state of California Meeting its people, learning its problems, tracing its majestic peaks with my mind's forefinger And here's what I think

It's time to change the way we treat this bountiful state It doesn't need a gigantic budget deficit and an energy crisis and all the rest It needs love and respect It needs the tongue of the people slipped into the crack of its crooked system It's time once again that this state's government is as nice as its ass But I need your help, so vote this election day to take back California And together we'll gang bang it into the future You know you want to Thank you You know Mr. Bruce, he's welcome here no more

Today when I woke all my cares went up and small I thought about the sad eye folk who came when I heard this song Let's give ourselves a break from sorrow and his name The world's a birthday cake is just that kind of day It's just that kind of day It's just that kind of day Ladies and gentlemen news of the media The more commercial television news you watch, the more wrong you're likely to be about key elements of the Iraq war And it's aftermath according to a major new study released in Washington this week

And the more you watch the Fox News channel, the more likely it is that your perceptions about the war are wrong Well, at least in the opinion of the University of Maryland's program on international policy attitudes Based on several nationwide surveys The program found that 48% of the public believe US troops found evidence of close pre-war links between Iraq and al-Qaeda 22% thought troops found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, 25% believed that world public opinion favored Washington's going to war with Iraq All three according to the Institute, the program, sorry, the program on international policy attitudes are misperceptions The program found that the more misperceptions held by the respondent, the more likely it was that he or she's both supported the war And depended on commercial television news for their information That's, don't blame me, blame the University of Maryland, ladies and gentlemen I just, I just don't work here

Nielsen Media research, the television industry's lead authority on audience ratings is revamping its operations in an effort to capture more data on audience demographics for viewers No, I don't think four viewers of viewers I believe I don't think they provide this information for us The company plans to double the size of its national sample and is testing a new psycho-acoustic coding system They can differentiate between broadcasters' multiple digital signals Because if we don't get high-definition television when we throw away our TVs and switch to digital The broadcasters will do six up to six low-definition, standard-definition signals And how do you count? Which one of you was watching? The system will require broadcasters to embed distinctive audio signals, inaudible to humans Hey, dogs! Into their digital broadcast, it will enable Nielsen's new set-top box, known as golden ears, to monitor the different channels Estimates, Nielsen is working with radio service and it tests to gauge the number of often uncounted viewers in dorm rooms hotel and gyms using a portable

People meet on the side of a page, to track what kind of radio television programming people are consuming outside the home Okay, in Germany, they've started The digital wonderland has arrived, according to the financial times On August 4, Berlin and Brandenburg became the world's first digital terrestrial television only region As the analog TV transmitters were switched off permanently, so ladies and gentlemen, let's do like the Germans Now, first time in a long time Tales of airport security Only one tail, things are coming down Dear Harry, I'm my way back to LaGuardia from Denver Airport, the multitude of security persons at the scanning table Inform me that they had to check my bag They pulled out my plastic see-through toilet case, and inform me I was not allowed to touch it

After a few minutes of being enabled to work the ziplock top, they allowed me to open it But they had already inadvertently damaged the locking mechanism beyond repair They then pulled out my little but relatively expensive $25 pair of cuticle scissors and politely but firmly inform me that I was not allowed to take them on the plane I could either discard them or mail them to myself, they said They were perfectly nice and tried to be helpful but they could not let me leave my heavy and thoroughly checked carry on bags with them While I went back upstairs to the post office to mail my little cuticle scissors to myself I told them to throw the scissors away as I didn't want to deal with the hassles of mailing They seemed upset and concerned so I assured them I knew they were just doing their jobs The same scissors and the same bag went right through security at LaGuardia when I flew out to Denver a week earlier Sales of Airports Security Ladies and gentlemen, it's a copyrighted feature

And yet there are no copyrights But I'm telling you copyright your life before it's too late, that's my advice Keep your data out of the hands of those who would sell them, sell it, sell them data All right, so we have the investigation of the leak, which has been turned over to John Ascroff, Ashcroff's Justice Department, despite demands by Democrats That there be a special counsel, yes, the Democrats who argued against a special counsel some time ago Want one now? Yes, the Democrats who argued that private sexual picadillos were irrelevant Are arguing differently now This is what happens when you have an entire political class ladies and gentlemen trained as attorneys Because they're trained to make a really good case on either side of the argument

That's their skill, anyway The David Kay report, believed by some, to indicate not much And the Bush administration has announced it wants $600 million for David Kay to continue his work for the next six months And Bush's polling figures are going down Back where they were before 9-11, 2001 Man, if I was him, I'd be expecting a phone call I'm the wounded eagle, so 43, how does it feel? 41, it feels fine, and every once in a while I have to rub it just to make sure it's still attached But don't mean that, talking about your presidency, how does it feel now that what's hitting the fan isn't exactly chocolate eclairs

Never wanted to say that it hurt me when you said your mandate was to not repeat your father's mistake Even when you said it to your father, but now that the shoes on the other side of the foot, how does it feel? You know, as well as I do that, if the shoe fence it feels fine, look, 41, this is just, you know, it's a weird time I mean, who would have thought Rush Limbaugh had a substance abuse situation?

No, Colin's a good man, but he's not the be all and see it all of when it comes to foreign policy You know, we're stocked like a Wyoming trout pond with foreign policy heavyweight So, just because Colin doesn't think we got a snowball, Shandon, me, we're not making good progress Got lost in the quadruple negative there We got, we got the big donors conference coming up, plenty of countries glad to stand with us and pledge to consider sending planned death span assistant Yeah, and speaking of planned death span, you know, smooth move letting your people betray an agent for the company That woman worked in a building in McLean, Virginia, you know, who that building is named after Yes sir, you Alan Dulles, but the point is the same, your nail con guys thought they were so smart

They wouldn't need the world order that we spent half a century putting together so that when the United States gets into trouble They're not the only ones helping us out Well, here we are and next to my coalition, your coalition looks like a Polish Girl Scout troop Alice in 401, Rami and Scooter and Dickie P are grownups, they don't need me to defend them And Megan Chokes about the Polish is so old Europe and old America too The Poles are sending us some great soldiers And booty boots as they might not do so well during the hot weather, and the Girl Scouts are a wonderful organization Looks proud Who would love to be the kind of person who enjoys his shot and Freud, but just can't do it I don't look at me, I hate opera It hurts to see in the very pickle you were so dedicated to not getting pickled in Still, you know, still there's hope, but Gord Hall, you bet we've raised 80 million already

And I'm going to eat more vendors before lunchtime, so some very fine people stand at the ready to help And Brent Scowcroft for just one example He wouldn't get rolled by the Pentagon crew the way Condi Rice, the good twist Jim Baker's arm into lending a hand Born in one, I appreciate the sentiment, but there's one thing the American people don't appreciate in the fall And that's reruns, I still have the most complete confidence in Dick Cheney and all these people Heck, if I didn't, why would I let them still prepare all my briefing books? Yeah And it's like Carl Rose says to me, Clinton and Reagan had dips in their numbers just about this point in their presidency So if our numbers still look a neemish year for now, you know, then maybe I'll give Brent a call Sprout, love the self-confidence, love the assurance, bar gave you those Love to see some of the prudence that came from my side of the family, but The good news is we can always trust the bums to screw up

Ladies and gentlemen, the show dome has set up its temporary facility The tent flaps flapping in the breeze in Seattle, Washington today You know, you gotta be careful what you brag about or even what you compliment people about Because I said to people up here all this week since I arrived You know, Seattle has a bad rap because I've been here several times and it's people always think Seattle It's always raining and ugly I would say that people appear Man, every time I've been up here and it's been different times of the year, it's been beautiful sunny, blue skies So you know what happened You know what it's like outside today and yesterday We had like two days of autumn and then winter and winter in Seattle as it rains, it blows and it's grey It's grey ladies and gentlemen

It's lovely grey Now I did not, don't get the wrong idea I'm not one of those Californians who's fled already Well, I fled, but not for that reason I'm going back because I want to actually, I want to express my gratitude to the people that stayed at California for putting such faith in me that they would give me that gift for the next three years of Arnold, so you bet I'm going back Here's a question Here's the question actually in the wake of all that Is it a revolution or a restoration You know, people I think voted clearly wanting something new But are they really going to get something old? Did you notice who came out of Arnold's closet the day after the election? I mean, all during the campaign The spokespeople for Arnold were his campaign manager

David Dreyer an Orange County There's the Orange County's LA area congressman who doesn't have much of a national reputation and doesn't have much baggage, as they say and Arnold's press spokesman the day after he wins who's on CNN like every day now speaking on behalf is the head of his campaign former governor Pete Wilson which, why wasn't Pete out there during the campaign to let people know he was pulling if not the strings, at least well, you can't pull the buttons pulling something Now we learn it's there's Pete Arnold holds press conferences after the election to answer questions Now, that's interesting timing anyway, so the question is, is it a revolution or is it just, hey, Pete, welcome back you had a terminal limit so you had to find a guy Now, I offer because I wasn't asked

well, I was asked by a couple of TV guys but so it prompted me to concoct a theory and here's my theory, everybody's got a theory about what what really happened and why in California a budget deficit, albeit $38 billion, pretty big got people mad, whereas on the national level all harm $400 billion, what the hell so here's my theory, it boils down to the media as usual in the national political realm we hear about that budget deficit every day to the point where, far from being interesting it's just please stop, please stop with the budget deficit please, please in California newspapers and television stations and radio stations for the most part stopped covering Sacramento about 10 to 15 years ago they had consultants telling them

people in California don't care about politics go with car crash, go with car chase, go with something with cars go with a murder in a car, that's good so $38 billion budget deficit came as a roaring surprise out of the blue why didn't you tell us, great Davis? well, I didn't, they didn't, I put the window can and similarly with the electricity deregulation which happened in broad daylight but seemed like total darkness because there were no media there to cover it when the promised price cuts for electricity turned out to be price increases it was like why didn't you tell us? the question why didn't you tell us ladies and gentlemen I would suggest should be directed to your local, if you live in California to your local TV station or newspaper because they're the ones that didn't tell you if I'm a betting man here are the two things I think are going on right now well, as you know you know one of the things is that Arnold is forming his

cabinet with the advice of 65 of the state's wisest people but here are the two other things I think are going on right now that I would bet on one, some Democrat is already printing up recall petitions and two, some woman you probably see a lot on television quote news shows is a phoning up all those gals who complained of being groped saying want to press charges take that to the bank and help people The cows are ringed their bars of bling The water give water to keep people off the fence And meet on my heart, it'll begin

The day you smile at me, it's such a jolly way They've had fur they're safe Because of you, my life feels like music Run between song and plays and noise One day I think you feel like water You don't know me from time and you don't matter For the thousands of life that powers in town The showers and theater at their resound The children found and meet on my heart And since you're mine, my love's only done all their life With more the vibe The tour name, rhyming, rising and timers Every time they know they'll meet on my heart I'll beat on my heart I'll beat on my heart I'll beat on my heart Because of you, my life feels like music Run between song and plays and noise

Come on down, wasn't followin' me. Wow, bam, thank you, man. Come on, wasn't followin' me. My maroon. She was a queen, a little little white and blue. My maroon. She was a queen, a little little red, white and blue. My maroon. She was a queen, a little red, white and blue. My maroon. She was a queen, a little red, white and blue. My maroon. She was a queen, a little red, white and blue. Well, bam, thank you, man. Come on, wasn't followin' me. Well, bam, hey, man. Come on, wasn't followin' me. And well, bam, it's fancy. Come on, wasn't followin' me.

From the Emerald City, Seattle, Washington, close, just spitting distance from Puget Sound ladies and gentlemen, but don't try it. It's so windy, it may come back to haunt you. I'm Harry Shira, welcoming you to another, to a Northwest edition of the show for, um, looks like winter, but it's only fall. So yeah, Pete Wilson's out of Arnold's closet and Donald Runsfeld is back in, not back, is in George Bush's dog house. Looks like, I don't know if you followed that this week, but, um, close watchers of the Washington bureaucratic dance were, um, all a titter about the fact that, uh, at the beginning of the week, the New York Times had a story from condolence, from the lips, from the lips of condolence a rice announcing that there had been a new group formed under her direction to run the post-war Iraqi deal. This was news because up to now, the Pentagon, Don Runsfeld's Pentagon had been in charge

and, um, Runsfeld held a press conference the next day in front of European reporters and said, well, he hadn't been told this was happening, which is kind of odd because this is administration that's sort of known for, hey, we all stick together. We all shut up. And Runsfeld was so irritated that when a German reporter pressed him on the issue, which is the most painful place to be pressed, he cracked back, don't you speak English to a German reporter, reporter, refrained from the obvious, um, response, yeah, don't you speak German? He didn't say that. But, um, so somebody got Runsfeld's goat and it appears to have been condolence a rice. Now what was announced was that she would be coordinating. This was new. Her new committee was going to be coordinated or runsfeld called it, her little committee was going to be coordinating.

And people who watched this sort of stuff said, doesn't that, doesn't that her job all along? Doesn't that the job in the national security advisor to coordinate? Why is this new? What, what hasn't she been coordinating up to now? And why? How embarrassing for a, a bureaucratic fox like Donald Runsfeld to be outfoxed by a gal. Oh, man, I'd hate to be his dog this weekend. And then there's the democrat, well, the whole debate, the democratic debate. I don't know if you saw it. I love the fact that David Dreyer, again, Arnold Schwarzenegger's, uh, co-campaign chairman along with Pete Wilson. Pete, welcome back to the spotlight, babe, got a nice tan. David Dreyer asked whether he saw the democratic debate, uh, because he was on, uh, some yak show said, well, of course not, I did read the transcript. No, I read, I watched the debate.

Some of us think it's easier to watch television than to read. And, um, I, along with Donald Runsfeld's dog, I would hate to be a democrat running for president, having to explain that vote, not even running for president. Senator J Rockefeller didn't look too comfortable explaining that vote on, uh, one of the Sunday act shows, that vote, of course, being the vote to prove what turned out to be the, uh, little thing in Iraq, it's, it, they are, um, falling all over themselves to invent things that they thought they were voting for, but not war. One quote that keeps not being brought up. One thing that, that, uh, neither the interrogators nor, nor the, uh, the few Democrats who opposed the war straight out, uh, nor the, the Democrats who are explaining their votes, nobody seems to recall this.

Me, I'm cursed with this memory thing. I know. It's so out of date. Wasn't it Tom Dashel, the head of the Senate Democrats who said just about a year ago, we want to get this Iraq war resolution passed us so we can talk about what's really important, prescription drugs. He didn't mean, he didn't mean for Rush Limbaugh. He meant prescription drug benefits for seniors, rushes about three years away. That, because that's what the Democrats thought was their winning issue last November. That's what they wanted to talk about in the Senate. Get this, a rock thing, just pass it and get it out of the way. That's what was really going on, wasn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but, and that's what they can't say. On the other hand, I'd hate to be the administration too, because they're in the position of saying, we didn't say it was an imminent threat. They had their first wave of their public relations offensive defending the war this week. And as part of that, of course, the media is not telling enough of the good news. Well, you know, here, here's, here's what's interesting.

The anti-war people thought the media was in the administration's pocket all during the war. And the pro war people now think that the media are too eager to tell the bad news in the wake of the war. And they may both be right. But in any case, I would hate to go to the American people with this as my ringing banner. He didn't say it was an imminent threat, man, you've got to do better than that. You've got to come with something better than that. Really go, go, go focus group something because we didn't say it was imminent. That is not a, that's not a bumper sticker. That's not a button. That's a nothing. Now I would suggest that, especially after having seen great Davis, great Davis's top 10 list on the David Letterman show, did you see that? Great Davis making probably his last public appearance reading a top 10 list of recommendations for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

And I would, it occurred to me after seeing that. I mean, we know the great Davis was not made for television. But after seeing that and the Democratic debate, somebody's got to hire Al Sharpton as a joke writer because he's too good. He's not going to be president, but he's, I would say either the Letterman or the Leno show just make Alan offer because he's, he's funny. He is good. Now ladies and gentlemen, it is time for yes, a copyrighted feature of this broadcast, the apologies of the week. Just ironically, the non-apology of the week, Pat Robertson, the head of the Christian Broadcasting Network and the host of the 700 Club was interviewing a, a guy who was written a book very critical of the State Department.

And in his introductory remarks, Pat Robertson of the Christian Broadcasting Network advocated delivered remarks that boiled down to advocating blowing up the State Department with a nuclear device. A Christian pastor, ladies and gentlemen, he is so far, the State Department, of course, reacted with apoplexy, diplomatic, undiplomatic apoplexy. Pat Robertson has so far refused comment, apology to come. Maryland's first lady has delivered two apologies for saying she'd like to shoot Britney Spears. That would be the model for Pat Robertson, I think, two apologies at least now. Kendall Ehrlicht told the conference on domestic violence last week, quote, really, if I had an opportunity to shoot Britney Spears, I think I would, unquote, Ehrlicht, the pregnant and the mother of a four-year-old boy, is appalled by the 20-year-old's chain-smoking

suggestive lyric, sexy poses, and her televised smooch with Madonna. Here's an interesting slant, Madonna later complained about Britney's tobacco breath. It's a hard life for Madonna, isn't it? Oh, my goodness, what I would do, if I had a daughter who's seeing these sexual images and have peer pressure early complained, then she delivered the remark about wanting to shoot Britney Spears. She quickly apologized. She suggested that perhaps Miss Spears could come to Maryland so she could apologize in person and then have a benefit conference for domestic violence programs at Ehrlich's spokeswoman, Megan Sawinsky. As of yet, we have not heard from Britney Spears or her publicists, they say. America online, the nation's largest internet provider, is their name still on their own service, they've apologized to state and local officials for a derogatory newspaper ad toward Boise, Idaho's capital city, to make up for the ad suggesting that Boise was

not a fit place to launch a new product America online set up a free concert at a Boise concert hall for Wednesday, featuring the rock group counting crows and donated $25,000 to the Boise school district for music programs. I've actually been to Boise many times, AOL Senior Vice President Richard Taylor. I love this city. You're seeing the ad in a New York newspaper, touting a new service and declaring you didn't think we'd launch something like this in Boise, did you? Governor Dirk Kempthorn fired off a note to AOL, a note, not an instant message, complaining about the negative reference to Boise and offering them the chance to make up for it. They have made a man's, the governor said this week, they've done it with class. And they are taking their name off their own serve, no, they're not. Not a lot of apologies this week, ladies and gentlemen. Not a sorry week. This would be the last author David Limbaugh apologized for mistakenly including a two-below school district in his new best-selling book about incidents he calls anti-Christian.

Anti-Christian incidents that wouldn't include the head of the Christian broadcasting that we're calling for the nooking of the State Department. No, it would not. Thank you for asking. To a quote, persecution, how liberals are waging war against Christianity, unquote, Limbaugh, David Limbaugh describes the removal of explicitly Christian references from Christmas songs at an unidentified two-below elementary school and students being led in chance of celebrate Kwanzaa. His source was a November 2000 news release from the two-below-based American Family Association Center for Law and Policy. Not a long enough name. It carried a two-below date line, and Limbaugh said, I mistakenly inferred the incident occurred in two-below. In fact, the news release was about a dispute in State College, Pennsylvania. The American Family Association had asked and appeals court to reinstate a lawsuit alleging that the 1999 holiday program at State College's Coral Street Elementary School presented as a Christmas as a celebration unworthy of respect.

Limbaugh, an attorney and columnist who was the brother of radio commentator Rush Limbaugh, apologized for the error in a letter published in, uh, this week's North East Mississippi Daily Journal. Quote, I regret this unintentional factual error in my book, and sincerely apologized for attributing this to a two-below school, and for any discomfort this may have caused anyone in the area or in the school district, he wrote, in two-below schools, Coral Groups routinely sing religious music, including Christmas carols. It is, need one point out, in Mississippi. You would have thought, if you had your BS detector at all connected, a story saying they're taking the Christian-ness out of Christmas, in Mississippi, you'd at least make a phone call. You'd call your brother, but now his brother is busy, as you may have noticed, ladies and gentlemen. He apologies, the week a copyrighted feature, Rush Limbaugh this week dropped the other

shoe. You know there was a tabloid story reporting alleging, smearing, smashing, bashing Limbaugh, saying that his housekeeper, quoting his housekeeper, is saying that she had purchased thousands and thousands of prescription painkillers for Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh without a prescription for years. And he went on the radio last week and said, well, I'll talk, I'll tell you about all about it when I know what this is all about. Well Friday, at the end of his show, he dropped the other shoe, acknowledged he was addicted to painkillers, said it started with the unsuccessful back surgery five years ago, and announced he was going, he had been in rehab twice to try to kick the habit and announced he was going into rehab again immediately following that broadcast. Rush Limbaugh in a 1995 interview said, quote, too many whites are getting away with drug

use. The answer is to find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river, unquote. Now, of course, the supporters of Limbaugh have been overflowing with the, with the skim milk of human compassion this week. But one wonders at what exactly is going on at that unidentified treatment facility into which Rush Limbaugh has checked himself. Now, from inside an undisclosed treatment facility, the most listened to what got it in America on a rush to recovery. Rush Limbaugh. Greetings, counselors, and tough love administrators all across the flamethrower of my mind, with a challenge on loan from God, and half my bringing tide behind my back is to make it fair for

the other half, which is still loaded to the flipping gills I am your avatar of broadcast turpitude. Rush Limbaugh, I want to thank Roger Hitchcock for taking the reins of my radio broadcast the next little while, but here in the abstinence and broadcasting building that is my own cerebral cortex. We're embarking on the third of an unknown number of hours in the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Revisionism, because my friends called Turkey is something far worse than what you eat the day after Thanksgiving. This is a situation that I take full responsibility for, even though it was caused by one stupid housekeeper with a big mouth, and I acknowledge that I have often treated those addicted to or just using drugs with great contempt and lack of compassion, advocating that they should be arrested, tried, and jailed, but my friends, and I wonder at this point if you are my friends,

those weak, undisciplined adherents of a degenerate lifestyle, it's threatened the very fabric of a God-fearing community, had one very dramatic shortfall in their characters. They were at me, but now I'm not me either, I'm not a conventional air mattress, I'm totally adjustable. Environmental nut shoes and feminazies, the homeless and the Democrats who would like nothing better than to have Saddam Hussein as their presidential candidate next year, I love you all. Now even though I'm not on the air, and this is pretty impressive technology, more impressive than the procedure that we're stored by hearing after it mysteriously disappeared with no connection to any overuse of prescription medication, we have a collar, I really don't know how this is working, but hello, you're on the AIB network.

Hey, Russ, it's Bill Clinton, long time target, first time collar. Oh, I'm really not prepared for this, my mind's only on three-second delay, I'm not going to swear, I'm going to do something that's going to make you feel so much worse. What's that, sir, make me go on a date with Mrs. Clinton? No, Russ, I'm going to feel your pain, and you're going to feel mine, because I'm going to play a saxophone song over the telephone. Let's put this call and hold, and let me continue here with my exegesis of my position, because this is important, it's about the future of excellence, or the excellence of the future, and speaking of the future, my next book, I told you I was right, and I was wrong, is due out shortly after I am, I really should be working on it right now rather

than engaging at you, my friends, of the brain cell audience, but I have always respected you, and given you the benefit of your own thoughts, and now we find the liberals doing what they always do, and I've told you this, they always try to give me 50 milligrams of I could in instead of the 80s, but that's what liberals do, and in my new book, I told you I was writing, I'm a liberal too, because to tell you the truth at the base of all this, ladies and gentlemen, has been a deep and abiding physical attraction to the late Bella Abzug, you can try her yourself in your own home for 30 days, risk free, but this is what is knowing away at the traditional values that hold this country together, my friends, and it is in fact, my next book, I told you I was knowing away at the traditional values that hold this country together, we've got another caller, and I want to pay tribute to the engineers here at the Betty Ford Institute for advanced non-linear studies for putting

it through, hello you're on the AIB Network on Open Line Friday, sure I can't tell you how much I appreciate the call, but it is my hallucination and that kind of obvious the conventional calendar approach, and you know you have a lot of time to fill, but I've got detainees to sort, I just wanted to call up and say God wants his talent back. You know Mr. General, I don't believe in coincidence, but I was just writing the other day in the limbal letter, the most consistently authoritative political newsletter in the history of the known universe that I don't believe in coincidence, how about that? Well Mr. General, thank you very much for the call, I think we're running out of time on the satellite, I am curious about one thing, how did you get this number?

On Ashcroft, ladies and gentlemen, taking the time to connect with the largest audience of time release narcotic molecules in the history of broadcast access, we're just beginning this excursion into my new book, I told you I was white, but we got some bills to pay, and some noisy to deal with, and then we will be back with more of the rest limbal program, so I urge you not to go away and if you do, please take me with you. Music, music, music, music, music, music, music, seven in a month, step on the floor, rocking through the kitchen and you're opening the door, aim watch left and the bottle

of juice, because the seeds that you've been in, never reap the juice, could be just still running, but your mind is crashed, because the brains you made, that became the past, that you recognize in the time the song, you're trying to take a bite at your ATM call, everyone deserves music, music, music, everyone deserves music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, fire music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, We got pain, we got pain, we got pain, we all a little bit insane

And maybe there's some other phone service by now Okay, done Now news from outside the bubble The British newspaper, The Guardian reports The Occupation Authority is making preparations to dismantle the food distribution system Which gave free rations of flour, rice, cooking oil, and other staples to every Iraqi Four years, described by the UN as the world's most efficient food network More efficient than the one that Emerald is on The system still keeps Iraqis from going hungry The U.S. civilian administrator of Iraq, Paul Bremer Views it as a dangerous socialist in anachronism The coalition provisional authority is planning to abolish it in January Despite warnings from its own technical experts That this could lead to hunger and riots All right, we'll watch Reason to pay attention to January Hunger and riots, that would be something By the way, speaking of following up, let's see how many

How much news coverage there is of Arnold in Sacramento Once he moves to Sacramento Or once he takes up his job in Sacramento Because he still be, you know, star power, but on the other hand, he'll be in Sacramento We'll see U.S. soldiers driving bulldozers with jazz blaring from loudspeakers Have uprooted ancient groves of date palms, as well as orange and lemon trees in central Iraq As part of a new policy of collective punishment of farmers Who did not give information about guerrillas to U.S. troops One of 32 farmers who saw their fruit trees destroyed Nusayev Jassim said they told us that the resistance fighters hide in our farms But this is not true They didn't capture anything that didn't find any weapons Other farmers said U.S. troops had told them over a loudspeaker in Arabic That the fruit groves were being bulldozed to punish the farmers for not informing on the resistance Which is very active in the sunny Muslim district They made a sort of joke against us by playing jazz music while they were cutting down the trees

Said one man And bushes of U.S. troops have taken place in the vicinity The destruction of the fruit trees took place in the second half of last month But like much what happens, which happens in rural Iraq, word of what occurred has only slowly filtered out to the British press Farmers say 50 families lost their livelihoods But a petition addressed to the coalition forces was only 32 people Asked how much his lost orchard was worth Nusayev Jassim said in the distraught voice It is as if someone cut off my hands and you asked me how much my hands were worth That's not an answer sir You have to do better than that Now ladies and gentlemen Some information A tale of airport security, not from a listener From the Cleveland plain dealer And the Associated Press Airport screeners hired by the government to check baggage for bombs were given most of the answers to the tests they took to qualify for the job

According to an investigation by the Homeland Security Department Job applicants were not required to show they could identify dangerous objects inside luggage A critical defect in the written tests according to the acting inspector general of the Homeland Security Department And here would be his name ladies and gentlemen Clark Kent Irvin It is extremely disturbing he wrote that most of the questions were rehearsed before the final examination That a number of the questions were phrased so it's to provide an obvious clue to the correct answer And other questions appeared to be simplistic Irvin wrote You know what this means ladies and gentlemen? Yes If he doesn't work out as governor Arnold Schwarzenegger could become a baggage screener News of airport security The Federal Communications Commission has decided that Bono the U2 singer utterance of an obscenity no it's a profanity

Can we get that straight? It's a profanity it's not an obscenity During the Golden Globe Awards that's an obscenity Did not constitute a violation of the nation's broadcast in decency rules They rejected complaints by the parents television council and others that Bono's use of the phrase This is really really effing brilliant failed to meet the test for indecency The bureau ruled Bono's indiscretion was so quote, fleeting and isolated That it did not run a foul of the profanity rules The Commission defines in decent speeches language that depicts or describes sexual or excretory activities or organs In terms patently offensive to contemporary community standards The word effing may be crude and offensive said the FCC bureau but in the context presented here Did not describe sexual or excretory organs or activities Rather the performer used the word as an adjective or expletive to emphasize an exclamation Indeed in similar circumstances we found that offensive language used as an insult Is not within the scope of the Commission's prohibition

All right, as long as it's not sexy or excretory A school for subreds that teaches young Italian women the not so subtle skills needed to become television game show hostesses and showgirls has opened near Naples backed by funding from the European Union Because the program at the first-tell school has prompted a political storm over the European Union's willingness to put one million pounds That's about a million and a half dollars into what critics say is a course for bimbos Students must be at least 18 unemployed and come from the Campania region renowned throughout Italy for the beauty of its women Though he taught diction, show, presenting, makeup, singing, dancing, acting, and the history of cinema Dino Giordano said it was equipped at equipping students, it was aimed at equipping students for a wider career than that pursued by mere bimbos It would give a head start and show business, he said. Some pupils seemed to have less ambitious objective Simona Toto said, I want to be famous rich and Mary a footballer A Italian member of parliament questioned why show business was being given priority in an area where there was greater need for more traditional skills such as tailoring

Pietro Vittorelli, a co-founder of the school, said it had already built a studio set and made a dummy program of quiz lotto A typical Italian game show, which was trying to sell the television. It's not just a school, he said. It's an industry You see, Italian television is filled with quiz and variety shows featuring scatly clad gals So there is really a market Vital tests in which the British government plan to use to justify the planting of genetically modified corn and Britain have been invalidated The environment minister who set up the trials says the three year tests will have to be done all over again And until then the government cannot responsibly license genetically modified crops The tests have been rendered invalid by a new European union They're not just giving grants to bimbo schools, they're banning a toxic weed killer too It's used on corn but a suspected of causing cancer and gender bender effects

Alright then Jay Leno's election night introduction was something he agreed to do with Arnold as a friend, said a spokeswoman for NBC Entertainment He was not in any way endorsing him politically, it was a personal appearance spokeswoman said there were no discussions about the matter at Burbank headquarters It's an endorsement of their friendship, she responded, not a political endorsement He was very careful not to make any political comments You will continue to see him doing Arnold Schwarzenegger jokes And John Major, the former British Prime Minister who has disappeared from British politics Is alive and well in ruling in Australia or according to the White House In a spectacular mistake that has caused red faces in Washington and outrage in Canberra A briefing note for U.S. reporters will be accompanying President Bush on a visit down under later this month Says little political history 1996 quote a liberal national party coalition came to power in Australia under Prime Minister John Major They'll be surprised since it's John Howard, whose vital support of Bush over Iraq appears

Not to have been retained in the institutional memory Howard said he was unperturbed, there's a long history of them getting the names of Australian Prime Minister's wrong And this is not the first mob to have done it, he said It's a mob, alright then That's his subtle way of getting back at us, I suppose And now ladies and gentlemen, that's all the news from outside the bubble Now, let's get up to date on what's going on in Vegas Now, as usual, a special edition of Larry King Live Here's Larry King Live We're pre-recording tonight because I'm emceeing the interpersonal violence foundations black and blue bowl Tomorrow night the latest in the Kobe Bryant case from five women who tried to have sex with him for the full hour of the show Tonight, with us in our Los Angeles studio is Jay Leonetti, a Tony for the big head woman who was sitting in the front row at the last

Sigfried and Roy spectacle in Las Vegas The one where Roy Horn was tragically dragged off stage by one of his Tigers Jay, always good to meet you The same here Larry, a long time viewer, first time guest We had Sigfried on and Steve Wynn and Bernie Yuman, the manager of the group And they were telling us that the Tiger really didn't attack Roy It was distracted by a woman with what they call big hair And you called our office and you asked to come on and defend your client and on the advice of our lawyer as well as our focus groups We agreed Well thanks Larry and I obviously appreciate the airtime Now, if we can, I'd like to take it one piece of the puzzle at a time Then it's gonna make us take longer to finish the puzzle Well, that may be by my client and the thousands of women like her who have been defamed by this version of events Don't deserve to be pilloried for the simple act of back calming

That's what, like, well that's basically the opposite of what we middle-aged men do Gotcha You know, you can't go after blacks or gays or Jews or fat people Or you have a group in this country today Larry, but you can go after big-haired ladies with no fear of lawsuits or bad publicity Or any of the rest of the panoply of modern obliquely So, Jay, you're saying big-haired women are the new Negroes? I don't use that term I call it the other end word But yes, Larry in a nutshell That's where this whole controversy belongs in a nutshell I mean, for Steve Winn or Sigfried Fishbock or O'Bernie Human to blame this woman And I want to make clear at this point, Larry, that this isn't even a client of mine per se I'm representing big-haired women as a class If this particular individual thinks it's in her best interest to hop on the bandwagon all the better But I'm here tonight finding for the dignity and the rights of all women

To wear their hair as flamboyantly as they like without being deprived of their God-given right to enjoy an expensive spectacle involving the allegedly magical disappearance and reappearance of what everyone agrees is very dangerous animals So, Jay, you blame the animals? I don't blame the animals, I feel sorry for the animals Do you feel sorry for Roy? Yes, I feel sorry for Roy Nobody deserves to have happened to him or her Whatever it did, in fact, happened to him or her Do you feel sorry for the woman with the big hair? Is this just a tragedy waiting to happen and then when it did happen waiting to stop again? Larry, look, the only people I don't feel sorry for in this entire saga are the people who are finding it in their best interests to attack so-called big-haired women You say so cold, you have a better name for? For our filings, we call them differently-haired individuals or DHIs

Obviously, if something was wrong with the way the tigers were cared for or housed or trained, it's better and easier for everyone involved To blame this once anonymous woman in the audience who may or may not have had hair that was bigger than other people We've all heard of blaming the victim, Larry, but this is blaming the spectator and in a society increasingly built around one form or another of spectators' ship This just isn't right People have the right to attend rock shows or Vegas spectacles or for that matter, symphony concerts in the communities that still have them Without having the past muster with the hair police, today it's big hair scaring the tigers Tomorrow it's a grotesque comb over distracting the candidates in a presidential debate Where does this end except having a federal inspector in every barbershop and beauty salon in the land? That's not the America I grew up in

No, me neither Well, that's just it, Larry. I've watched your show and the others, even the supposedly straight newscasts And all of them are in this by passing on a piece of folklore from which some of us thought this nation had recovered so many years ago If portable dryers or hair spray or other hair management technologies had enabled women in Lincoln's time, let's say, to enjoy the benefits of being differently hair Would it have been all right for the president to cancel the Gettysburg address on the grounds that big hair posed a security threat? Yeah, I don't think so I don't think any of this wants to live in a nightmare vision of America, Jay I appreciate that, Larry, but you know, we're just trying to make sure that the women in this country don't have to pass some sort of ruler test on their hairstyle before being able to enjoy the rights of audience members Rights that men with almost no hair have fought and died to protect throughout our history

That's all I don't think it's too much to ask from the Las Vegas's and the Siegfried's and the Bernie humans of the world Jay, in a few minutes we have remaining in this segment, what if they could prove that the tiger really was afraid of this woman's hairdo? Does that change anything? Well, maybe it says that that particular tiger had no business in the Las Vegas showroom, Larry I know that may sound harsh to some people, but you know, hair ism sounds pretty harsh to me So Jay, is this a class action kind of legal deal you're filing? Well, I guess you could say it's a lower class action, Larry, and we do look forward to seeing Mr. Wynn and Mr. Fishbacher And for that matter, they're wild animals in court Jalien Eddie was looking to represent the big head people to the world Tomorrow night, Senator John McCain and Roger Herring Davis, Princess Diana's private astrologer From Los Angeles, good night Don't be alarmed, I know it's jazz, but we're not cutting down any Iraqi fruit trees right now

At least I'm not Ladies and gentlemen, that's going to conclude this edition of the show The program returns next week at the same time over these same stations over NPR worldwide throughout Europe On the U-Send 440 cable system in Japan, around the world through the facilities of the American forces network Up and down the east coast of North America on the shortwave giant WBCQ, the planet 7.415 megahertz Across North America via a serious satellite radio, they're not kidding And around the world via the internet, on your computer, whenever you want it, whenever you want the show You have to buy your computer at two different locations, harryshear.com and kcrw.com And it would be just like the media doing follow-up on Arnold if you'd agree to join with me then
