JTom on the Mike Malloy Show

My friend JTom, author of Rapture or Renaissance -- A View from the Sky, called into The Mike Malloy Show last Wednesday night (scroll down to the link for Wednesday, August 3, 2005 to download the entire program -- JTom's call can be heard at about 1:13.50 into the show). Malloy liked what JTom had to say -- he even kept him on the phone through the newsbreak -- especially JTom's comments about how Bush's incompetence in not initially securing ammo dumps in Iraq simply resulted in these insurgents having more explosives than they'll ever need and they are probably using these explosives to kill Americans right now. Malloy commented that it is the corporate media's job to help us forget about stuff like that, even though these failures by the Bush Regime are directly responsible for the quagmire we are in now.

Something funny happened a couple of calls after JTom's. A caller named Doug was attempting to make a comment connecting how Bush is "screwing" the country with Bush's threat to "pull out" of Iraq, but Malloy's censor would not let this caller finish. I just think it is interesting how jumpy everyone is after the Super Bowl nipple flash. But it is apparently OK for Laura Bush to tell a joke about horse masturbation on a C-Span broadcast, so I think Malloy's censor should have let Doug finish his joke.
