TODAY'S SHOW: FRIDAY JUNE 22, 2007

By krislopresto



On today's show we will talk with John Dean, Former White House Counsel to Richard Nixon and author of among others, “Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush” to discuss Dick Cheney’s refusal to cooperate with the Information Security Oversight Office.  One of Cheney’s arguments not to comply: his office is not part of the executive branch.




Also on the show today: Singer / Song Writer, Alternative Country Singer, Kelly Willis. Her latest album is called Translated From Love


Mentioned on Today's Show


Hey, Remember the Other War?
No, not WWI, not Iraq, the other, other war. Afghanistan.  Apparently we're building a big new prison there. And maybe that's where the Guantanamo prisoners are going to go if they close Guantanamo.

Memorial Service For Firefighters
Sadly, there is a reason this is now a politics story.  And it's because the firefighters' memorial service is being politicized.

Anti-Bush Twins Uprising
The Bush Twins gave their Dad a mix CD for Father's Day.  Now an attorney in Florida has written the RIAA asking them to please sue the Bush twins for stealing music to give to their dad.

If It's June...
Ever notice that every June we always seem to be talking about Guantanamo maybe, possibly, but not really, closing?

YouTube Questions
You have to watch the YouTube Submissions so far for the CNN/YouTube presidential debate.  Some of them are great.  Others...not. Except this one is clearly awesome and doesn't deserve to be on the bad list.

I agree with Cheney...

  The VP cannot serve two branches at the same time. That is prohibited. The VP is assigned one duty by the Constitution: President of the Senate, so he HAS a job in that branch already. All of the mistaken associations (that the VP is part of the Exec) in the past do not make it right. Cheney has been part of an ongoing illegal conspiracy with Bush to subvert the Constitution. Every activity he has directed or been involved with as VP is, therefore, illegal and/or illegitimate. The office of VP should be subject to the same rules as the office of any Senator.

Strangest Valentine Ever

A Navy lawyer apparently sent a Valentine's Day Card to a human rights lawyer on his last day of duty at Guantanamo.  A Valentine with a list of prisoner's names and details about their cases.

OH NO...Rachel and Kent on vacation next week!

I hate it when my favourite hosts go on vay-kay!  I miss them and the days are so boring.  In my perfect world:  Rachel...Randi...and Stephanie never on vacation.  Who cares about their mental health?  lol

Have a great week guys!  Rest up and come back ready for battle.  I feel prosecutions may be imminent. 

Another Bush hypocrasy

 King George has been flouting the law ever since he has been selected president. He has set a poor example for his daughters, what makes anyone think that the RIAA will ask that they pay the fines any normal person would have to pay for doing the same thing.

 

Anti-Bush Twins Uprising The Bush Twins gave their Dad a mix CD for Father's Day. Now an attorney in Florida has written the RIAA asking them to please sue the Bush twins for stealing music to give to their dad.

This really makes no difference. This is the first we have heard of it and it will be the last. 3 months from now someone will ask what happend and nobody will answer because no one will know.

:coolmad:

Bon voyage, Jackie!

Congratulations on your new job, Jackie, and best of luck to you!  Thanks for all your contributions to TRMS, the blog, increasing my Alaska awareness, and for keeping your colleagues in line.  ;-)

 

I'm off to a conference in NH all next week.  I was afraid that I was going to have a backlog of TRMS's to catch up on when I returned, but now Rachel and Kent will be on vacation.  Whew.  Makes my life easier!  (and isn't that what it's all about?)  ;-p

 

No, I know, the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about...

(RM and KJ, enjoy your much-deserved time off--) 

But nobody suspected...

FRIDAY'S STREAM

FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS FRIDAY'S SHOW HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE.  PROBLEMS WITH THE STREAM ARE FREQUENT.  IF YOU SAY YOU OFFER A SERVICE THEN YOU SHOULD FOLLOW THROUGH AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS WORKING.  I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING JOHN DEAN.

FIX THE PROBLEM AND MAKE THE SHOW'S THAT DID NOT STREAM AVAILABLE WITHOUT CHARGE OR STOP SAYING THAT THE SHOW IS AVAILABLE.

Friday's stream

I'm with you Matmeg _  Got to have my Rachel (and all at TRMS) FIX or somethings going to catch it!   Although it seems to have been some better lately,  as you say it is still a big problem.  I would gladly pay 3-4 times the amount in order to reliably get TRMS every day.  As it is, I can't bring myself to pay AAR for hit and miss coverage.  Are the other programs like this?  Anybody know?  I blamed the FCC for a while. LOL

At least, I got to hear bits and pieces of the excellent John Dean interview.  But, I didn't get all of  Rachels announcement that she or her show was 1st in something? _ something? _ something.  Anybody else get that since we can't go back to listen again?

Anyway, congrats to Rachel and good luck to Jackie!

 

Two of my favorite things!

 Whiskey sours and Kelly Willis tunes. Rachel, how do you do it? 

Oh yeah, the muckraking, Cheney-calling-out defending our democracy stuff is cool too. :-)

New arrest in Ohio

New arrest in Ohio pregnant-woman case

By JOE MILICIA, Associated Press Writer

A former classmate of a man suspected of murdering a pregnant woman was arrested Sunday on a related obstruction of justice charge, the FBI said. Myisha Ferrell was arrested hours after the body of 26-year-old Jessie Davis was found in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, still carrying her dead, nearly full-term fetus.

The Summit County medical examiner on Sunday confirmed the body was Davis'. Sheriff's deputies and FBI agents arrested Ferrell after breaking down the door of her apartment and searching the home, agent Scott Wilson said. The Stark County Sheriff's Department refused to discuss the arrest, saying any information made public would hurt their case. Ferrell was to be arraigned Monday, Wilson said.

Davis, of Lake Township near Canton, was reported missing after her mother found Davis' 2-year-old son, Blake, home alone, with bedroom furniture toppled and bleach spilled on the floor. Blake gave investigators some of their first clues, saying: "Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in rug." Thousands of volunteers searched for Davis for several days, while investigators questioned Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, a police officer who is Davis' boyfriend and has an estranged wife. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on charges of murdering Davis and her fetus.

Davis' relatives have said they believed Cutts, of North Canton, was the father of both Blake and the fetus Davis was carrying. Justin Lindstrom, 27, an upstairs neighbor of Ferrell's, said officers spent two hours searching the woman's apartment Saturday night before leaving with several full, brown paper bags and bottles of bleach from the basement. Wilson would not describe what the deputies seized or say how Ferrell might have been involved.

 Lindstrom said he had not seen the downstairs tenant over the weekend and rarely spoke to the woman, except to ask her to turn her music down. He said he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary around the time Davis disappeared. "I heard loud noises in the middle of the night, every night," he said. There was no immediate response to messages seeking comment Sunday from Davis' family members and Cutts' lawyer. Cutts' pastor, the Rev. C.A. Richmond, declined to comment as he entered services in Canton on Sunday.

Lindstrom said he never really hit it off with Ferrell, who lives in the apartment with her 11-year-old daughter. "She's not exactly your ideal neighbor. She and I haven't gotten along since day one," said Lindstrom, who moved into the building in January. He said she had parties every night. "We're talking carloads at a time — four and five carloads — and until 3 or 4 in the morning," Lindstrom said. Ferrell worked at a Denny's restaurant until quitting her job Friday, Lindstrom said.

A manager at Denny's, who declined to give his name, confirmed that Ferrell had worked there but declined to comment further. Officials at the Stark County jail said that Ferrell had not been processed and that they had no information about whether she had a lawyer. Davis' body was found in an area known as Top O' the World because of its elevation. The area contains a dirt road, a small dirt parking area and a couple of benches overlooking a grassy field.

The body was found in that field, said Roger Riggins, an investigator for the medical examiner's office. Davis' mother has said she planned to name the baby Chloe. Just down the road from where the expectant mother's body was found, someone posted a sign saying, "God bless you Jessie and Chloe, forever in our hearts." People had placed flowers and red and yellow ribbons just below a sign identifying the park.

Oh, the horror...

...I would throw my body in front of a truck to protect my partner and our son. Only a beast would do something like this. It is times like these that I question my feelings about the death penalty...Part of me feels that I could actually pull the switch on the beast(s) who did this...And, what that child saw, "Mommy is in the rug..." will haunt my memories for a long, long time...

My heart is crying..
