Randi Rhodes Show - August 31 2010

There are more poll numbers indicating that Republicans live in an alternative universe. These aren’t so much surveys as they are psychological questionnaires. Why don’t they just start giving Republicans those inkblot Rorschach tests? “What do you see here?” “I see Barack Obama sacrificing Christian babies to Satan.” In the latest poll, 52 percent of Republicans agree with the statement that President Obama “sympathizes with the goals of Islamic fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world.” Hmm… maybe the results wouldn’t be so extreme if they didn’t phrase the questions like a Glenn-Beck-on-cough-medicine rant. On the other hand, I guess they can’t just ask them “Do you believe… basically anything some rightwing nutbag could dream up?” Still, I suspect they would say yes. If you ask Republicans “How many fingers am I holding up?” the answer would be “Obama is the devil.” It saves them from counting. This poll also shows that 59 percent of Republicans said they believed the president favored “the interests of Muslims over other groups of Americans.” That one is a little surprising. I had no idea that many Republicans considered Muslims to be Americans. How can they keep us this level of ignorance? Glenn Beck is certainly doing his part. Beck has launched a new “news and opinion” website. Of course, to Glenn Beck, there’s no distinction between news and opinion. His opinions are wrong, and I’m sure all the “news” on his site is going to be wrong too. Beck said “It’s so hard to find a place that helps me make sense of the world I see.” We’re all with you there, Glenn. I certainly can’t make any sense out of the world YOU see. Gee Glenn, if you can’t make sense of the world you’re seeing, is it just possible that you’re not seeing the real world? Beck’s new site is called TheBlaze.com. Incidentally, The Blaze is already up and, well, blazing. Surprised? It’s not like they had to spend any time researching their stories. The banner headline when I logged on was “Explicit Poetry GPS Phones Help Illegals.” Really. I’m not going to click on the link for the article. I’m going to just let my imagination run wild—which I’m sure is pretty much what the author of that piece did. Check it out for yourself. I’m too busy texting excerpts from Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” to immigrants in the desert suffering from hypothermia and sunstroke.

I give up... uploading on TPB is a pain. I've tried to upload on days you haven't.. numerous attempts & all TPB gives me is errors. For awhile it was constant error, wrong code. So when I finally managed to index, I try to add tags by clicking edit torrent...surprise..surprise another f*cking error TPB gives me. Never have I encountered such difficulty indexing a torrent on any other tracker. btw, the time limit is dumb. At the least, give the uploader more time than 90sec.. 4 min. at least. Feels like a damn race. One mistake & you're screwed because time wasted correcting it. I barely have time to record the show so I don't have the patience to deal with something simple made "unnecessarily" complicated. Sorry DBaum

Well, I do have a demonoid membership with regards to trackers that handle non-specific variety content. But, I don't really upload anything like music or movies let alone a political show like RR. It's typically just sports content usually to private sports trackers. But I guess the reason I don't have problems uploading there is because private trackers usually have better/easier uploading.
Is there anything specific you do for the edit option (the part where u add tags)? Do you have to wait, clear cache/cookies, re-login? Because every time I click it to add the needed tags (immediately after torrent gets uploaded), I get a blank page with a message that just reads, "error". Very frustrating. Why the heck TPB didn't just include the adding tags part into the making/uploading process and just extend the 90 sec. limit is beyond me. It's quite stupid.

Okay, what confused me was in the suprbay instructions, it says "do not fill the tag fields yet". I thought the only way to add tags was afterwards through edit torrent. thanks
