		<description>&lt;p&gt;selise–example, jimmy carter on diane rehm yesterday, a one hour show…..i started downloading it at 9:59 am, it’s now around 11:45am, it’s only two-thirds done. fourth try since yesterday…and meanwhile, i’m tying up my phone. did one try overnight, but it timed out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it was a great show, i want a copy of it bad enough to do it. so, had to tie up phone today, cuz as soon as her show is over today, the jimmy carter show will be replaced with today’s 2nd hour show…..this is the last try that i can do….&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;once that happens, can’t get her other shows, because they are on itunes, and i can’t do itunes website or download….&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but i am going to visit family and friends tomorrow for a few days, am planning on using their computers for an hour or two and download a few things…..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as i say, i’m flyin’ a tri-plane here, but it looks good and still runs. but as my friend who built it for me says, it’ll fly good for you, just quit trying to make it fly like a jet.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;selise at 75–sometimes i can, but haven’t figured out why it works with some things and not others……&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;older imac 10.2.8 can’t upgrade anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;for instance, can download the mp3 (only offer one show) at the diane rehm sign up for podcast site……which is the ’last’ show aired……right now trying to download jimmy carter show from yesterday, fourth try…..internet drops me, and last night accidentally signed off when i went to bed, minutes before it was donw.arghhhh.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and takes hours……so, usually do it at night after i check to see if it’s gonna ’take’……&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the minnesota public radio station that someone posted during one of the hearings worked, i ’streamed’ it, and even though was ’stacatto’ i was able to get the  gist of it….but have tried that at other sites and it won’t work……when it does work it is a link that isn’t labelled anything but ’listen here’ or mp3…..mp3 goes through i tunes program…..the other ones go through ’download’…..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so, i have been able to download audio, but is rare when it works, and if it is a link that works it takes many tries. but if it’s worth it, i do it…..&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Now in “assachusett’s” a  “life tax!” The tax code is used as a gun  to compel people to purchase health insurance from tax exempt corporations to the tune of 1300.00 a month?    Jefferson warned of the corporate evisceration of America?  Like being born with original sin???   WTF!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile bend over and pay the oil man!   This is a serious fuck up of revolutionary proportions.   Are Americans to stupid to get it?????&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Agreed. Addressing it more fully makes his statement even worse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;yup, and that’s what progressives don’t understand, allow mkkain to say he is taken out of context and then punish him harder for the very statement the way he THINKS he meant it&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;My family would be screwed under McCain’s plan.  My daughter has Asperger’s, and she’s benefited greatly from speech therapy when she was younger, and now a great program put together by the Center for Social Thinking, which helps autistic-spectrum kids figure out the interpersonal world.  The insurance company didn’t want to pay for any of this, but once we had an official diagnosis, they were required to pay, thanks to California’s AB88, which mandates equal treatment for physical and “mental” conditions, among other things.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McCain wants to eliminate state laws of this kind, and have “the market” handle coverage for people like us.  Right.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;selise, i have dial-up and no cable, but i pass the info on to others…….and i do read the list of hearings, so that i can pay attention to what is going on and align it with things i’m looking into…..helps me set priorioties and helps me to better direct my letters/calls sometimes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;also sometimes dig a little further into something that i would have put on a back burner, but if ’current’ i pay more attention to it….&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thanks for your work. i appreciate it and use the information you provide…..same ’salutation’ to others who post and people who provide links to things&lt;/p&gt;</description>
