there is a petition to bring lizz winstead back and we're on day 9 of air america held hostage

so what's a gal to do when she's feeling tired and blue?

when the morning's draggin' and and maddow's saggin

and bring you down

with that boring monotone, big brain sound?

why listen to stephanie miller of course. she's a delight. she's funny and smart and doesn't feel
the need to act superior to the audience as meg pointed out in an e-mail she sent.

so it's day 9 of air america held hostage by big brain.

and still they think they don't have to answer to their audience.

that's really sweet, don't you think?

"we don't have to answer!" that's a real progressive attitude, don't you think?

and a show called unfiltered shouldn't clamp down a filter.

i'm reading the common ills this afternoon and see that they've linked to a petition. then elaine's calling me and i find an e-mail from martha.

no worries because i will gladly note the petition. here's the text of the petition:

Bring back Lizz! Rachel and Lizz were great together and we got alot of friends listening to Air America because of THEIR show. Air America has lost more than a few listeners now. When the news is so grim, it certainly is nice to swallow it with some humor. The way Liz and Rachel played off each other was great and it kept us tuning in. Unfiltered had a brilliant formula,of sucking the listeners in with humor and getting in plenty of important information too. Lizz was the most fun person to listen to at Air America. The back and forth between Rachel and Liz was relaxed, playful, and entertaining. Unfiltered was fun. Was. Past tense. We the listeners demand: Bring Lizz Back NOW!
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

i signed it. i urge you to sign it as well.

martha writes 'isn't it funny how some blogs want to ask like nothing has happened. it's not just air america it's the people who are covering up for them. i'd be really interested in seeing who has the guts to stand up and be counted.'

good point, martha.

and no worries about me because i will be counted. i was not a lizz winstead fanatic. please, i'd dubbed her 'no name.' the show doesn't work without her. and the way she was 'disappeared' was shameful. no 1 should be treated that way.

so look at the petition and consider signing. if we don't stand up for each other i'm not sure what we will stand up for.
