American Afternoon with Marc Maron – Thursday, May 8, 2008
Listen: Marc Maron and Robert Reich
Air America Radio welcomes back Marc Maron for his 2nd day this week in the guest host chair. Lots to talk about today from this week’s primaries and the question of when or if should Hillary Clinton drop out and back Barack Obama to high gas prices and how we are all dealing with it. Maron will be taking your calls in HOUR ONE on all the above topics.
Maron’s guest in HOUR TWO will be Matt Taibbi. Taibbi is a journalist and political writer. He currently works at Rolling Stone where he authors a column called "Road Rage" for the print version, and an additional weekly online-only column called "The Low Post". He is best known for his coverage of the 2004 US presidential election, and for his former editorial positions at newspapers the eXile, the New York Press, and the Beast. Recently, Taibbi has been a regular contributor to Real Time with Bill Maher.
Rounding out HOUR THREE will be author Ted Fishman. Fishman’s essays and reports have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Money, Harper’s, Worth, Esquire, USA Today, GQ, Chicago magazine and Business 2.0. His commentaries have been featured on Public Radio International’s Marketplace. A former floor trader and member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, he ran his own trading firm until 1992. His current book is called “China Inc.”

Maybe, so what?
Ever said anything in anger you either wish you could take back, or circumstances change so your response is no longer valid? Ever said you'd never again eat white-GMO-MonSatan-derived bread but one day were hungry and that was all being offered at the free lunch place? BTDT, more than once: some days I give it away, some days I keep for later hunger pangs, some days I eat it, sometimes it makes it to the compost.
Besides, maybe this exposure is just an "on air interview" for, say, NovaM?
Not to mention Marc is nothing if not erratic and flexible, and in his own words "untethered." Get over it dude. Did I ever say I'd never listen to AAR again? Yep. Then who shows back up, Sam and Marc! Well, as it turns out, AAR won't stream for me, so I listen from an affiliate, but do I have to buy from their advertisers? Only if I want their product as was the case of the Celtic salt ad here the other day, and if it might help the number counters consider hiring Marc and/or Sam.
Maron is a gifted philosopher comedian truthteller. He's a modern day Lenny Bruce. Mark my words; Marc his words. He cares, he feels, he ponders, he defies stereotypes, and has a damn fine recipe for Shaker lemon pie.
Could it be you're someone who once supported W and his evil war plans? It takes a big person to say "I was wrong." It takes a thinking person to work to right the wrongs one's words or deeds perpetrated on innocents. Marc hasn't harmed a soul; can you say that? Marc gives solace to other displaced and discarded folks; can you say that? Marc provides humor and thought-provoking moments for the downtrodden, the masses; can you say that? But thanks for your petty little remark that allowed me to respond. Yeah, thanks. Srsly.
