On Wednesday’s Radio Show…
August 6th, 2008, 6:00 PM EDT
• Obama Communications Director Robert Gibbs discusses the latest developments on the campaign trail.
• Republicans continue to mock Obama over tire pressure, even though McCain says the exact same thing – and also thinks we should turn off our lights and drive less. Alan exposes the hypocrisy.
• Holy lawsuit! Nebraska State Sen. Ernie Chambers is suing God. He’ll present his strange case.
First
August 6th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Ok, so now you succeed. You win the Highlander’s prize.
August 6th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Yeah I’ll check my tire pressure just as soon as somebody does something about all the thousands of tractor-trailers sitting in truck stops and idling for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours on end.
August 6th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
This just in: McCain pays trolls.

THEY ARE CHARGING $25 FOR OBAMA TIRE PRESSURE GAUGES ON McCAIN’S WEBSITE!
THE McCAIN CAMPAIGN IS PATHETIC!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 6th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
You can do first-sies on any thread, but this is the most important one. This is the one that separates the Women from the Girls, the Men from the Boys. Etc. Etc.
August 6th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
My boss received a letter in the maiil with a $1.00 bill included from John McCain. He wants my boss to pay $500.00 for the $1.00 bill.
Such a deal!!! How could he pass it up?
August 6th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
TDro~ I have no idea what you’re talking about.
I hope Alan discusses the Iraqi budget surplus tonight. I can’t believe none of the pundits have mentioned it yet, especially the Cons. I’d think they’d be the first ones demanding that Iraqi pitches in more money for their Reconstruction.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
ALAN~ the colors you were on H&C tonight look great on you.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
“wore”
August 6th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
The Iraqi budget surplus is the “Victory” we’ve been waiting for! (Hey John McCain are u listening?) Time to withdraw our troops just as the Iraquis want us to do!
August 6th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
I get Omaha tv & saw this Ernie Chambers story. My first thought was that this would make a great topic for Alan’s show.
Alan, you read my mind! Thanks! Ernie is a really cool guy!
August 6th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
BTW Alan, not so long ago you joked about whether or not there are people in Nebraska. This ought to be more than sufficient proof.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11
August 6th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
9/11?
August 6th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
what did I miss?
August 6th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
just some guy who started conspiracy talk earlier
August 6th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
oh.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
SUDDEN DEATH TIME!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!
August 6th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Just shoot me time!
August 6th, 2008 at 10:31 pm

August 6th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Don’t you mean 90 minutes…wait, east coast…30 minutes….BOOO!
August 6th, 2008 at 10:35 pm

August 6th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
whatev, LV! where was your ass at last night, hmmm?
August 6th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
I don’t know anything about Kaine. I am still hoping for Kathleen Sebellius KS
August 6th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
do you guys remember me telling you about the protests in South Korea regarding their concern over the safety of our beef products? well, bush has to make sure that he appeases them, bc he’s wanting them to send an additional force of troops to Iraq.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
I’ve been re-grouping hahahahaha. Plus my patience runs out with this laptop, although I am typing faster on this tiny ass keyboard.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
We’ve been sold out by so many of these assholes. I did early voting on district court judges. 3 hours of research on em all. No incumbents and no one from outside of NV
August 6th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
wikipedia has an interesting article on her, Mary
August 6th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Cheryl, I think you’ll enjoy the Ernie Chambers story…stay with us if u can.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
good for you, LV.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Thanks Cherly, I’ll try to check that out.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:49 pm

August 6th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
OOPS! “Cheryl”
August 6th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
no worries, people misspell it like that all the time.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
That mary was not me!
August 6th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Sorry Cheryl. I think everyone is just happy to have Alan back.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
200,000 people die every year from Rx drugs!
August 6th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Aimee answered and hung up on me!
Damn it. I know it was an accident though. She picked up the line and put me on hold, then disconnected.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
And now it’s busy again. I give up.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
the mary who’s the black lesbian on the bad cell phone?
August 6th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Love sudden death…clears out some of the silly people…
August 6th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Paris for President!
August 6th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Good going Joel!
August 6th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
THANK YOU JOEL!!!!! Thank you for cutting off Kathleen in Modesto!
August 6th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Hahahah as much as I feel Paris is worthless, I like that ad. It’s fun to watch…that ones for you wrinkly old white haired girl
August 6th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
I think that Paris was using a teleprompter.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
What’s with it in sex perverts in TX, pooh?
August 6th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
???
August 6th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
the “swinger sex case”. there’s an article on CNN right now. i tried to post the link but it was rejected.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Pooh, We agree about Kathleen/Modesto. She’s always out to lunch in the head.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
oh….that’s east Texas and there are some strange and horrible things that happen over there every few years…lot of good people there, but there are a lot of nuts too
August 6th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Be back later. I want to listen closely to this one!
August 6th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
I’ve got family in east tx and you’re right, lots of good people there
August 6th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Love you Ernie! God is all possibilities…and gives humans the power to co-create ie. God is us!
August 6th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Hey Cheryl C
August 6th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
For the past four years I have made the same prayer for Bush. “Please take away his ability to lie to the American public.”
Seems like in some small ways…it’s happening.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
i’m about to turn my radio off. i’m tired of hearing people try to answer this god question using what is most likely an imaginary story from the Bible.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:39 pm
Hey Jason. Why don’t you ever stick around?
August 6th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
dammit, i’m never getting through on the phone tonight
August 6th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
we’re a predominately Christian nation attempting to answer this question with Christian reasoning. the question of God is much bigger than that. there are dozens of creation myths in the world. ours is special to us bc it’s ours. that’s it.
i wish people would spend more time reading about the history of the Bible and Christianity than they do reading the Bible and adhering to the Biblical interpretation preached by the pastor of their denomination (which is only one of hundreds of Christian denomination)
August 6th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
i like this guy who just said that we’re suffering bc of bush. lol
August 6th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
alan, LLC members should have a special number to call for the show. other talk shows do it for people who subscribe to the podcast.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
still can’t get through. screw it.
night all.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Cheryl, I’ve been trying to call also…no luck.
August 7th, 2008 at 12:01 am
Everytime Alan has a guest on related to religion the Bible beaters rush out of the woodwork!
August 7th, 2008 at 12:04 am
Cheryl…I love that idea about the special line…
August 7th, 2008 at 12:05 am
Alan! What happened to Suskind? Is he not going to do the interview you planned?
August 7th, 2008 at 12:09 am
Check this out…fairly well thought out answer to the problem of God and suffering:
