Trying to stream gets a broken link and downloading is not working well. It plays the music…wait, it seems to be going okay.
For several tries it just played a fwe seconds then stopped downloading.
It’s going now.
Finally!
Alex, I don’t think you realize how much people like to read your stuff. You should pay more attention to the front page. I know you’re a busy man with a new child in the family but still. We’re missing our VNN fix.

. . . agree.
Of course, I don’t know what it’s like, yet, to have a kid.

“I want to be the Jew”
Very funny and very intriguing. I heard an historian on the radio recently talking about the English civil war. He said, I think, that around a third of the population of England were slaughtered, many in ambushes, assassinations etc. and that the civil war, or revolution, is not very well understood. Considering who Cromwell’s paymasters were, we can see why.
Christians, I notice, hardly ever seem to talk about what Christianity actually is.
“…and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles till the times of the nations be fulfilled.” St Luke 21, 24.

“Simon Peter saith to them: I go a fishing. They say to him: We also come with thee. And they went forth, and entered into the ship: and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus therefore said to them: Children, have you any meat? They answered him: No. 6 He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find. They cast therefore; and now they were not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes. 7 That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved, said to Peter: It is the Lord.” St John 21, 3-7.

Is Pope Benedict jewish, I wonder?

I thought this one of the most interesting passages of his only Papal Encyclical to date:
“21. A decisive step in the difficult search for ways of putting this fundamental ecclesial principle into practice is illustrated in the choice of the seven, which marked the origin of the diaconal office (cf. Acts 6:5-6). In the early Church, in fact, with regard to the daily distribution to widows, a disparity had arisen between Hebrew speakers and Greek speakers. The Apostles, who had been entrusted primarily with “prayerâ€? (the Eucharist and the liturgy) and the “ministry of the wordâ€?, felt over-burdened by “serving tablesâ€?, so they decided to reserve to themselves the principal duty and to designate for the other task, also necessary in the Church, a group of seven persons. Nor was this group to carry out a purely mechanical work of distribution: they were to be men “full of the Spirit and of wisdomâ€? (cf. Acts 6:1-6). In other words, the social service which they were meant to provide was absolutely concrete, yet at the same time it was also a spiritual service; theirs was a truly spiritual office which carried out an essential responsibility of the Church, namely a well-ordered love of neighbour. With the formation of this group of seven, “diaconiaâ€?—the ministry of charity exercised in a communitarian, orderly way—became part of the fundamental structure of the Church.
22. As the years went by and the Church spread further afield, the exercise of charity became established as one of her essential activities, along with the administration of the sacraments and the proclamation of the word: love for widows and orphans, prisoners, and the sick and needy of every kind, is as essential to her as the ministry of the sacraments and preaching of the Gospel.” DEUS CARITAS EST 21-22

I’m on dialup, Linder. You advised us to cancel cable, remember? I guess I could download by dialup, but how do I justify tying up the phone line that long to Granny? How much internet time does your Granny allow, Linder?

Linder casually hit a much stronger issue than he may have realized, and that is the form of college, and its usefulness in attaining the substance of “middle-class respectability.”
Why do we waste four years in a structured environment that is antagonistic to us – actually, it is hostile to the point of being poisonous – when we can use a series of tools – if we NEED the college diploma?
One, CLEP out most of your survey courses – computer assisted instruction is avaiable for all CLEP courses, and most – if not al – colleges will accept them as course requirements.
Savings – thousands of dollars directly, and hundreds of hours spent getting to school, and getting to class, and being in class.
Two, go on-line. The President just signed a bill allowing electronic colleges – University of Phoenix – to issue BACCALUAUREATE degrees.
People meet, say, once a month – if that – and, again, you study when you want, electronically, and don’t waste time going to school – driving there, parking, you name it.
The time alone you save make all of this eminently worthwhile.

Great show, as ever.
10 June, 2006 at 9:27 am
I think your analysis of Iran’s President Dr. Ahmadinejab comments in his interview with Der Spiegel might have missed a point.
Did it ever occur to you that the times they are a’changin’, and Spiegel’s reporters – and through them, Spiegel’s ENTIRE editorial chain used the interview to say the things that they are forbidden by law to say?
Did you notice they set up a series of questions that were straw men – the classical arguments of the Jews – the SAME straw men the people of Germany, AND England, AND France, AND America have to bow and scrape to?
Does it look to you like Ahmadinejad is literally saying what they literally believe? Hell, he sounds like Alex Linder, with a tad more diplomacy!

The TRUTH is anti-semitic!
. . . this isn’t the fiirst time I downloaded, listened, rewound, and listened again. (inasmuch as one “rewinds” w/ an ipod)

Good show! As usual, you don’t mince your words or compromise on your message. You say things everybody thinks but that no one else would say in public.
I particularly liked the segment about whether college/university is a waste of money or not. I’ve often asked myself if what I’ve gained from obtaining a liberal arts degree was really worth 4 of “the best” years of my life.
The problem is, there’s still a lot of snobbery in this regard, with the better jobs going to college graduates irrespective of the candidate’s actual skills/talents/abilities. This is what keeps me from advocating that people skip a college education outright. That piece of paper seems to be worth its weight in gold on the job market. Of course, if your ambition is to start your own business or to embark on an artistic career, then college truly is a waste of time and money.
Anne Rice’s “Interview With the Vampire” is good. It’s one of the rare novels to have come out within the last few decades that is destined to become a classic (in the same way that Bram Stoker’s or Mary Shelley’s books have). The movie doesn’t do it justice.
Rice’s other books are usually entertaining (though wordy), but they don’t quite measure up to that one.

“I’m on dialup, Linder. You advised us to cancel cable, remember? I guess I could download by dialup, but how do I justify tying up the phone line that long to Granny?”
Just download at night when no one’s trying to call.
Use a download manager (e.g. Net Vampire, Get Right) that automatically disconnects you when the download is done. That saves you from having to sit around with your thumb up your ass waiting for the download to finish.
