Susan keeps me honest

Susan keeps me honest. 

Susan: I just read the thing you posted ["Air America programming notes and the gone but never forgotten Lizz Winstead on the Bully Boy's press conference"].  Sally Jesse?  Rikki Lake?  Montel?  Come on now.  That's two women and an African-American male!  Air America is only interested in white male TV talk show hosts!  They'd be much more likely to hire Maury.  And while I like David Bender am I the only one still noticing that there's not one Hispanic voice as a host or co-host of a radio program?

Absolutely, Susan, you are correct that there's no way two women and an African-American male would get a show or shows currently.  And no, you're not the only wondering why there are no Hispanic hosts on Air America.  Wasn't that the hot new demographic?  Wasn't that supposed to be what the Democrats were going to be working towards strengthing their outreach efforts to?  Maybe Air America missed that memo?

As for your question (about what I'm listening to this morning), Judy Collins' In My Life just went off and Tori Amos' The Beekeeper is playing right now.  I haven't had time to get the new Bruce Springsteen or the new Judy Collins yet, no.  Lastly, to Susan and others asking about a new addition to this site, it may or may not go up tomorrow.  I agree that it would be best to start it on a Sunday.
Whether it will be this Sunday or not, I don't know.  Krista & Gina, in their "round-robin," mentioned it as a heads up, not to say that it was going up this Sunday. 

The e-mail address for this site is common_ills@yahoo.com.

And for a change, members who read this site as their first choice and not the other version get a post before those at the other site because, once again, Blogger is acting up.  This post will go up there sometime tonight.
