Slog - Comments on On the Radio http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/on_the_radio_9 I'll be on KUOW's Weekday this morning, talking about the news of the week with Slog favorites D. Parvaz and Danny Westneat. The show starts at 10 a.m., and although I don't control the discussion topics, I do end up with a mic in front of me for an hour, so... What should we yak about?...

Oh, wait, that would be better with Charles in Charge.

KVI and KOMO were the only stations still broadcasting on the AM band that I noticed, at least.

With the Christian holiday season approaching, I'd like Christian Seattle to know how offensive their snowmen, stars and ornaments are to Jews. Can we get a Menorah in the Airport already?

His voice that is, not his rhetoric.

COL. of TRUTH The real heterosex in Ang Lee's "Lust, Caution" vs. the implied homosex in "Brokeback Mountain". Discuss, contrast.

Bill Sherman vs. Dan Satterberg - who is hotter? smarter? more electable? Discuss, contrast.

Do not discuss or contrast Hillary vs. Julie Annie - boring, predictable.

Has anyone made Dan Savage an offer he cannot refuse?

There - your work's done.

Interesting article talking about the hallelujah thank-the-lord surprise that Fred Thompson: the highly anticipated, plain-talking, TV star from good ole’ Tennessee is turning out to be a “subdued, sonorous, laconic presence who speaks in soft monotone, displays little drive, and lulls his audiences to stillness”.

Can’t shake my fear though since he’s still somewhat unknown quantity while we know how imminently beatable Imoldandneeda (mc)Cane, Mitzymormon, and Julie Annie are. (tip to KY. COL.)

I mean, is it just me or is there something funny about the following set of words?

Intimate, Community, Relevant, Intelligent, Essential, Tote Bag, Stimulating, Vital, Reliable . . .

I mean, that's a joke, right? Right?

I wish you could be on all of the time, along with Danny Westneat and D. Parvaz. I still miss Susan Paynter.
