have the rules changed?

hi, Arielle. We were watching b-tv and noticed that quite a few shows, which obviously are not local, are selling /advertising products. I thought that was a no- no. Has that rule changed? If so, when and why?

Also other shows list “sponsoring” businesses. I didn’t know we could have businesses sponsor our shows. What is the rule about that?

RE: Obama Betrayal Syndrome

(Rafael-alexandre Ramos wrote:)

Was about time somebody realized the man was an icon, a puppet ( despite is good intentions ( if he personally ever had any… )

I think that when Obama will be out of Washington, he will be welcomed in Hollywood with an acting career possibility: wouldn’t that be a first ( politicians ending up as actors instead of the opposite ) ! 😛

But seriously, I think many united-staters are fed up with the two-party system as well…

chapter nine

NINE

Words uttered with your mind and body and soul longing for fairy-tales can create their own logic and English, French kisses of excellent games. Life eats the dead. Brute truth! We eat the dead to live. Obscure depths against saving up virtue. Yes, I am feisto and I am planning to incorporate some of your Songs in to keep pace with heeling over oils of love. Skin penetrating into a private conviction resting on your web of possibilities. Taste all pleasure and play with anyone! Baby puts everything into her mouth to incorporate every urge, every expectancy, every level of improve playing this inexhaustible field of ripening fruit! Baby puts everything into her pussy and her asshole and her mind. Building up her immunity by taking life deep within intimacy. Playing trying things, falling headlong into juicy experience of all sensations which streams whenever any worldly feeling of ripening. Falling into muddy holes, protected by dancing on the floor. Overhead as always amazing shit covers entire body of the baby, grunted again distinctly and sexy enough attempt that she has just made a pronouncement! Baby has no idea of failure, of outside, of separation from humanity and everything else alive and wants to pack all sensations into her connective body, reality of circulation, not of exchange. Thoughts crowded my brain becoming impracticable to get together. Confound old boxes of fear of being dirty. Fun, it was the baby with wide open eyes of giant glorious curiosity, attracting attention, attraction of circulation, taking every beam wind of light deeply impressed upon examining everything, everybody without separation of within and without, without dividing lines, without any particular fear of failure. Failure doesn’t exist for the baby! Walking is impossible without falling. Nothing is created without failure. I can’t “walk”… But I always get from point A to point By dancing nude sliding on whims of light amidst hurricanes of fear of just doing just what I want to. So why walk? Of course when I need to piss or shit, I am in intensified time. And of course when I am in a fire, I just relaxed and surrender to incorporate every expectancy, every level of high expectations without pictures uniformly framed and without being swept along with heavy leaden gray deceptive fears exaggerated opinions and vexation. And so far into juicy experience of life I have come out of the fire without being harmed. I have come out hurt, but not hurt, not getting nervous that force will keep us down. I am always willing to take hurt on. That is the official price of living a full frontal life! Baby puts everything into her mouth. Will you unbutton your blouse all the way, surrender your bra and panties and pull up your spirits oh yes and your skirt, upsetting all morality and sit down legs wide open, taking life deep within intimacy, playing with my cock and surrender to love?

Skin is not a dividing line between you and me. Skin connects us. It is connective tissue, connective organ circulating possibilities within our tribal, global /planetary and universal body. Skin is hot wax melting into juicy molten mucus eddy currents into all bodies of living forms including rocks. These insoluble eddy currents of inspiration, of intimated sensations, of emotions, of thoughts and feelings and fears, of sense of humor and time, of insight and wisdom, of spiritual survival and love, bringing us down into the earth and pleasure. Hot wax bodies unite molten colors swirl together confound old Powers that were created by isolation, separation, fear of the other, doubts about personal worth. Power is cold. Human beings are warm, sweaty rubbing aroused by taking life deep to incorporate into one another. Sometimes they just relaxed, unhurried and love with wide open eyes from humanity and wisdom of sense of humor among various acts upon examining everything, everybody without separation from my dreams.

I do not walk. So I stay. So I stay together, seeing I am always able to handle anything. I love staying in you. I have staying power! I am a stay-at-home kind of dude! Of course I am a con man who certainly belonged to modern Greece. This inexhaustible ocean of emotions caused things to multiply in these interesting people. Images flowing non- linear and words options available appear paranoid and universal language among various pretexts of courage. You can play whatever on whims… If you are not comfortable, not confined to the bathrooms of insphere conformable comfort zones. Imagine staying in the bathroom comfortably all of your life! That is a funky lot of shitting and pissing and puking! Not to mention washing alone!

Glad you liked it.

When I went on your site I noticed that they were being offered as podcasts as well. I think that’s great. I was going to ask you would it be possible for you to grant me access to your ftp so I could just download all the shows at once instead of having to do it one by one?

Guilty as charged. Glad I could help get this going. Im sure tons of people will enjoy these shows. The other nice benefit of all this is more people will be turned on to your station now to. Im glad I was.

Take care,
Mike

yes, we are offering the shows as podcasts. But we are only creating one podcast a week as we web cast each show … Because it is a big project!

no how berkeley can you be fest this year : (

Dear Frank,

I don’t know if Corey mentioned it to you all, but there was a letter in the Berkeley Daily Planet from one of the co-founders of the How Berkeley Can You Be fest and he said that due to financial considerations, there would be no festival this year. I’d love to see an anarchistic version of the thing happen… no permits, no authorization, just a bunch of weird people dressing up and having a giant party. Just converge like a flash mob and take over some city park! Of course, I am not the person to organize such an effort, I’m just spouting off here… any ideas?

yes, I sent it out yesterday. On the surface level it is about the bad economy. But in reality they don’t want the people [our kind of people] to gather together. That was the feeling even last year. You could feel it was the last parade. Everything was in a lower key.

Actually i did two “FANTASY COSTUME PARADES” in the mid- seventies which were the model of HOW BERKELEY CAN YOU BE. We started in PEOPLE’S PARK [or actually the park above it] and ended in HO MINH [CIVIC] PARK with big free concerts. A lot of nudity, see-through colorful costumes, body paint and glitter. But you need a few months to set it up. Also that was back in the time when the City supported such actions. So we could get permits.

Senator Hancock’s Budget Update

I don’t normally send these out. But In-Home Supportive Services and SSI are what I survive on. A few months back I talked about how they cut our money. Well, this month they cut sixty more dollars between SSI and In-Home Supportive Service. And now this!

Dear Friend:

Even in a painful and prolonged economic downturn, we have a responsibility to work together to protect our most vulnerable people. Unfortunately, in the midst of difficult negotiations to solve the state’s budget crisis, Governor Schwarzenegger’s rhetoric and policies reveal a failure of leadership in this vital area.

Many vulnerable people – the old and physically disabled — use a program called “In-Home Supportive Services” for help with dressing, bathing, cooking and shopping. This allows them to live at home instead of a nursing home.

Governor Schwarzenegger has made no secret of his wish to see these services slashed to the bone or even eliminated. In his July 3rd guest editorial in the Los Angeles Times, he wrote that, “…the program has no safeguard against fraud.”

Let’s look at the facts and not the Governor’s new projection of himself as the watchdog against fraud and abuse. His supposed vigilance is one of the oldest strategies in the demagogue’s playbook – demonizing the poor.

In reality, studies have shown that there is very little misuse of this important program. According to a recent state and county review of nearly 24,000 cases, only 523 were referred for investigation of possible fraud – only 2%.

Fortunately, senior advocates and members of the social services community cried foul and responded with appropriate outrage. IHSS actually has many safeguards on both state and county levels. County social workers do reviews and home visits with IHSS recipients, looking for any potentially fraudulent activity or signs of low quality care. In addition, IHSS providers must complete a rigorous enrollment process that requires certification of valid social security numbers and in some cases a criminal background check.

So while Governor Schwarzenegger tells the New York Times that he soaks his stress away with nightly dips in his Jacuzzi with a cigar, Californians who need help with basic bathing, food preparation or taking the appropriate medication will have their help cut back or taken away.

Is that the California Dream?

Governor Schwarzenegger’s attempts to marginalize poverty and criminalize disability are wrong. All Californians deserve better leadership. We are better people than that.

Sincerely,

Loni Hancock
Senator
