Everyday at school
Teachers here, teachers there
Books and books, they are everywhere

Come on boys, we need to dance
We have got a good chance
Lay your problems on the floor
Clap your hands and sing to me once more

Everybody, let's go to the gig
We can dance there, dance and eat an ice-cream
Everybody dancing all night long
Try to do it, sing a happy song

Music sound, dancing in the night
We can get so high
For no reason no don't stop
Now's the time to go to the top

It's a sweet simple happy song
We'll sing all night long
Lay your problems on the floor
Clap your hands and sing once more

People seemed to like her, gnat-brains and whore-baiting and all.

Frankly I wish they would dump Franken. He's much better at ironically snarky right-bashing books than he is on either TV or radio. Go back to the keyboard, please, Al.

Anyway, if liberal talk radio is to succeed, it can't do it by being lily-livered.

K who do you support for pres? With your knowledge about events I'm guessing Hillary.

You should dig around as to all the stuff that lead to Randi Rhodes leaving Air America and understand that her rant against Hillary was TWO WEEKS before the suspension.

Her mouth is not what got her fired. I suggest you follow the money and look at why others left Air America Radio.

They're right about people not liking it, but thanks to Lawrence v Texas, you can't get in trouble any more!

"Construction to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct is scheduled to begin in 2012"

Would it be possible for the City of Seattle or whoever is paying the current debt on the Key Arena to place a lean on the Sonics?

From the sound of other stories, I get the impression that Oklahoma City is writing a blank check for the Sonics' new arena. Given the circumstances, Seattle should try to get a piece of that action. Let Oklahoma pay for the Key.
