@noelito @uncooluncle @prosyn @wonkmonk – both Dean Baker and Immanuel Wallerstein were on it from at least 2002 or 2003

@jonathan_m0ses – I know! I might be stuck here however. Only had one driving lesson. But I’m torn!

@blanalive – to be honest I don’t know. We were expecting LRB, etc, but nothing has so far materialized. But it came out later in the UK

@midohioiww – also bookstores take a long time to browse – if you hit a bestbuy, pretty much any flatscreen TV will do.

Sat 13 Aug 2011 03:57

@midohioiww – apparently in London they left the bookstores alone. I guess flatscreen TVs are more value per pound. Books are heavy!

@midohioiww – I know, economic collapse makes my book totally relevant, but it also means no one can afford to buy books!

@southsouth – it turns off any TV. Trick is you sometimes have to aim for a minute to go thru all possible codes. Works fine from a pocket

@davidgraeber @southsouth – remember, don’t try this at home! Or I mean: only try this at home

Sat 13 Aug 2011 02:41

@southsouth – I used to have a device that could turn airport TVs off. It just went thru every possible code. There’s only about 100

@AriCostello @faustroll @dafowc @InEgos – oh, I was just being silly. If a book gets no critiques at all it can’t be very important

@TheJulior – oh don’t worry I’ll continue to do TV spots if asked (except on Fox). I just never watch the resulting clip!

@TheJulior – this is why people like me are afraid to go on TV. Also last time I did, weird old women called to criticize my teeth

Fri 12 Aug 2011 03:33

@TheJulior – oh I think that’s because it only airs tomorrow. I was afraid to look of course because I hate to see how old I am on TV

@willcommon – I know, turn my back for half a minute and look what you guys start getting up to!

@karaspita – the weird thing for me is Democracy Now didn’t want me on to analyze the downgrade, despite promises, and WSJ did! Huh??????

Fri 12 Aug 2011 02:18

@karaspita -my London friends gave me 2 choices when I left the UK: facebook or twitter. I figured facebook would ruin my life even more

@morelikewater 2011 Bankster Copycat Riots? We’ve got to nail this down with something catchy

@morelikewater @aaronjohnpeters Obviously real gang members are mostly more reasonable than people who want to kill them all but still

Thu 11 Aug 2011 17:42

@morelikewater – it’s been done. One of my favorite facilitators got her start in gang mediation

@DougHenwood – oh yes I’m due in half an hour. I’m in Williamsburg. What’s better, L or G train?

Wed 10 Aug 2011 23:59

@kit_withnail – yes the Wall Street Journal put me over the top. Strange world i’nt it?

Wed 10 Aug 2011 23:56

@dizzyshambles – thanks! well they say the World Bank bookstore ordered ten but I don’t know if they sold any
