Sussman On KSFO 560 AM Sucks!

What a cowardly, intellectually dishonest, loser this regressive reactionary is! He gives a lot of lip service to supporting free speech and honest factual debate, but that is all it is - lip service.

Take yesterday, as just one example. I was calling in to torture him with the uncomfortable truth as I often like to do and it is easy to do because, despite his continual braggadocious claims as to KSFO's status as the number one talk station in the Bay Area, they really don't have that many listeners. I got in twice in the first 10 minutes of his show; I couldn't get in twice in ten minutes on KGO, unless my name was Ronn Owens or Gene Burns! Anyway, he had stated that the we should go to the UN (in hypocritical irony, an organization he normally puts down as being worthless, meaningless, and toothless, but I digress...) and seek sanctions against Iran that would hurt the government, yet not the people, like we had imposed on Iraq - WTF?!? I called to inform him that those sanctions did not hurt Saddam and the ruling class, but, in fact, greatly impacted the average Iraqi in an extremely negative way! Well, he cut me off after that statement, thereby ending any possiblility of any honest debate - so much for that concept! He then went on to say, in obvious ignorance of the facts, that Saadam was 6 feet under and 25 million people were free, so the sanctions had, in fact worked and what a dummy I was to make such an assertion. Of course, the historical record clearly shows that it was our invasion of Iraq , not the UN sanctions, that caused Saddam to be 6 feet under and for 25 million people to have, possibly (I'd say that claim is still open to some reasonable debate!), been freed!

But hey, what do you expect from reactionary, regressive hacks - the facts, the truth, free speech, and honest debate? What are you naive?

By the way, his listeners are no better with the facts than he is. The last two times I checked in on him I heard a listener state, without being corrected, about how Reagan had, unlike Obama in the current Iranian context, made a strong statement of support for the protesters in Tiananmen Square and a strong denunciation of China. Uh, that happened in 1989 and George H. W. Bush was the President then - doh! Also, while discussing the roots of the current economic crisis and trying to tie the blame for it to Bill Clinton, a listener, again, uncorrected, mentioned that Alan Greenspan, who was appointed by Clinton, was largely responsible for leading us down this path of economic anomie. Uh, hello, Greenspan was appointed in 1987, by the regressives' saint, Ronald Reagan!

Again, nothing like the truth, huh? Especially when discussing important issues and future decisions regarding them. Just the kind of informed debate the Framers had in mind and to which the regressives always give such lip service! Yeah, right...

eBay Sucks!!!!! Let Me Count The Ways!!!!!

Stupid and ever changing rules and restrictions.

An endless stream of bossy electro-nanny messages.

An inaccurate and illogical feedback system that enables libelous remarks, without recourse.

Higher and higher seller fees.

More and more big corporate sellers.

Less and less unique items.

Hypocritical sellers who demand/whine about getting payment immediately, then take their sweet fucking time to ship items, gouge on the shipping charges, by sending items by cheap, slow methods, when the amount charged would easily cover fast methods and using buyer unfriendly shipping services, like FedEx and UPS, while dissing the good ol' inexpensive, fast, and dependable USPS!


All of the above, equals an ever increasingly fucked up eBay experience!!!!! And their, IMHO, potentially illegal unfair trade practices through their attempt to force as many payments for purchases made on eBay through their subsidiary, PayPal, makes it even worse!!!!! Money grubbing cocksuckers. Yeah, eBay sucks!

I've been using Craigslist a lot lately and with great success, too! No hassle, no shipping costs, no seller fees, no fucking PayPal nor PayPal fees, face to face dealings, cash now for item now (or vice versa) transactions - easy, over, done!!!!! I highly recommend you check out Craigslist for both buying and selling items!!!!!


AMEN!!!!!
