There will be NO GUY JAMES SHOW after the end of this month UNLESS YOU DONATE NOW.

He needs to raise $4000!

I am giving $100 in addition to my usual donation, meant to match 10% of the first $1000 raised.

Post in this thread today how much you are donating, please!

Guy has a wonderful opportunity to syndicate in a few months IF and ONLY IF he can keep the show going!

It is in your hands now.

[acmejack]

8. He is good!

I checked him out last week on someone's (probably Ben's) recommendation and ended up donating then and there. We have to support our own. Guy takes no commercial money and is entirely listener supported.

[benburch]

9. Well, he *would* take a commercial sponsorship, too...

If you have something to sell to this audience, he's your man.

[benburch]

10. Don't let the matching funds slip away!

I will match 10% of the first $1000 donated! Every dollar you give early does that much more!

[pretzel4gore]

52. Does this count?

I got my regular paypal subscription going again; my paypal account was shut down for 6 weeks while I moved, so my subscription was canceled. Apparently they didn't like me logging in from different computers in different places. Just got everything set back up a few days ago.

[benburch]

55. It certainly does count!

Tell me how much you are sending Guy, and I'll include you in the match.

11. bump

[krystine]

12. Looking forward to the program

I have got my snacks laid out and ready to go at it. I hope Guy will comment on two big stories our of Florida. The first is Kathryn Harris possibly challenging Nelson for his senate seat. However, the even bigger story is Mel Martinez coming out and saying we need to shut down Gitmo. Of course there is Howard Dean, but I do not get the controversy. He is ju8st calling the Republicans what they really are. The only question is whether Dean is really trying to fight with them or if he is trying to tell the Democrats to start to fight the Reps on their level. What he did show is that the Dems can, if they want to, take control of the debate rather than let the Reps define all debates and the language of. I guess I have a lot on my mind.

[benburch]

13. Damn Straight!

The GOP *is* White, Christian, and Male. Nobody of color need apply except as window dressing, and to clean up after the Elephant.

26. Senator suggests shutting down Guantanamo Bay prison

Here is the story from USA Today earler today on Martinez

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-06-11-mel-martinez-gitmo_x.htm

Senator suggests shutting down Guantanamo Bay prison

KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — Sen. Mel Martinez said the Bush administration should consider closing the Guantanamo Bay prison for terrorism suspects — the first high-profile Republican to make the suggestion.

Sen. Mel Martinez, who strongly supported Bush's efforts in Iraq during his campaign last year, expressed concerns about progress in the war.
Lawrence Jackson, AP

"It's become an icon for bad stories and at some point you wonder the cost-benefit ratio," Martinez said Friday. "How much do you get out of having that facility there? Is it serving all the purposes you thought it would serve when initially you began it, or can this be done some other way a little better?"

Martinez, who served in President Bush's first cabinet and is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made his comments after Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden's suggested that the prison in Cuba be shut down.

President Bush said Wednesday that his administration was "exploring all alternatives" for detaining the prisoners.

Human rights groups and former detainees say prisoners at Guantanamo have been mistreated. The Pentagon said last week that some U.S. personnel there mishandled prisoners' copies of the Quran, the Muslim holy book.

That disclosure followed a report in Newsweek, later retracted, that U.S. investigators had confirmed that a guard had flushed a prisoner's Quran in a toilet. The White House blamed that report for violent protests in Muslim nations.

Amnesty International called the facility "the gulag of our time." Former President Carter has also said Guantanamo should be closed.

Martinez, who strongly supported Bush's efforts in Iraq during his campaign last year, also expressed concerns about progress in the war.

"I am discouraged by how long it has taken for us to begin to draw down some forces," Martinez, R-Fla., said at the annual Florida Society of Newspaper Editors/Florida Press Association convention.

He said he has had to write many condolence letters to the families of Floridians killed in Iraq.

"It brings home the importance of the decision to send men and women to go to war," he said. "It has become a foreign fighters' war against us there and the progress seems slow and difficult."

27. Guy's on fire today!

[Dudley_DUright]

28. Good quote from Howard Dean today

``People want us to fight,'' Dean told the national party's executive committee. ``We are here to fight.''

30. Toledo Blade story on $215 Million lost on hedge fund (MDL)

Bermuda is where some American companies and foreign investors go to shield profits from taxes and to save money, but the state of Ohio did the reverse and lost $215 million in the inviting tax haven.

The Bureau of Workers’ Compensation lost $215 million in what it says was an unauthorized hedge-fund investment with MDL Capital Management, which is actually based in Pittsburgh.

Even so, the hedge fund, called the Active Duration Fund, is listed with a Bermuda address. And the contract signed by the bureau’s former chief financial officer, Terry Gasper, specifies that any disputes have to be decided in a Bermuda court. The wording of the contract also appears to hold MDL free from liability for losses.

Bureau officials yesterday said the Bermuda provisions were “extremely out of the ordinary” and that Mr. Gasper acted alone and without authority of the agency’s Oversight Commission.

31. Hi Guy,

Checking in from the "Scandal Capitol of the World", Ohio.

[Just Me]

32. Okay. I hope he won't burn my ears tonight.

Nothing personal but rather an expression of my personal take. He has just, from time to time, been a wee too angry for me to tolerate. I say this knowing that I am completely expressive of my feelings, ON A DISCUSSION BOARD. I would never deliver nor can I take such hard expressions on my ears or on my eyes (I literally TURN OFF any visual of BushCo to protect my own "beautiful mind" and spirit).

Rant off.

[Catherine Vincent]

37. I like them angry.

[benburch]

33. Another person PMed and says they donated $25.

[krystine]

44. It is wasy to figure out why they voted for Bush...

They are white Christians.

[guajira]

45. Bill is Typical Right-Wing

Keeps insisting al qaeda was in Iraq - even Bush had to admit they weren't!!

They keep perpetuating this lie rather than face up to the truth!

[eleny]

47. And besides...

If there was any activity in the north, that was the autonomous Kurdish area that Saddam could not touch.

I think that caller called in three weeks in a row and puts forth lies as if that's what his memory tells him. So inoccently. :eyes: I think he calls just to drop some lie bombs.

[krystine]

46. The difference was that Yogi Berra was not president...

I don't think he could manage the Yankees, then again Yogi may be smarter, he had a better baseball career than Bush.

48. OOps, Guy - Sen. Rodney Ellis of Texas is African American

54. Don't Tell Mama

I miss Nostamj; I'm surprised at how frequently I think of someone I've never met in person, but he was a wonderful person, and I appreciated him greatly. I won't be in NY anytime soon, but if I were anywhere in the area, I'd be there.

[benburch]

56. We all miss him.

What a useless thing to die from. :(
