Playlist Notes:Imus Country Bumper are pieces which provide theme music segments inserted for breaks between intros and outros. The musicians are typically I-Favs, many of whom have performed on Imus In The Morning.
This collection includes long time Imus friends such as Delbert McClinton’s “Giving It Up For Your Love”, “Sending Me Angels” and Delbert playing Harmonica for Bruce Channel’s “Hey Baby”. Kinky Friedman is also here with “They Ain’t Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore” and his ever present A**hole From El Paso.
Then there are the artists who hooked up with Imus along the way; Dwight Yokam is represented with “Intentional Heartache” and “Suspicious Minds”. Montgomery Gentry’s fellow travelers of the I-Man perform “My Town” (check out the YouTube). How many IITM references have there been to Big & Rich’s “Save A Horse and Ride A Cowboy” as well as “Kick My A*s”. Dwight Yokam is covering Zevons’ “Carmelita”. (Does anyone recall the Imus Ranch Doc sitting in a rocker singing “Carmelita” on MSNBC?)
Imus’ preference for strong country women is evident in the The Wreckers “Leave the Pieces”, Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” and Taylor Swift performing “Picture To Burn”.
Classic country artists Buck Owen’s “Together Again”, Billy Joe Shavers “The Devel Made Me Do It The First Time”, Johnny Paycheck with “Take This Job And Shove It” (Note:could not find “Rythm Guitar”). Also in the cassic category is Randy Travis’ “Heroes and Friends”.
Imus most recently is all over Brooks and Dunn’s “Put A Girl In It” and Hayes Carll “She left me for Jesus”.
What’s a country song without heartbreak? Lucinda Williams “Are You Alright” is certainly fitting for I-Fans everywhere.
Yes, there is a Video Playlist of the Imus Country Bumpers on YouTube!

Thanks the Lord. A new thread.
Remarkable I must say.
A gratuitous and unwarranted remark, I must say.
You are very welcome.
IMO I think Channel does an excellent job with this website. I would like to thank you Channel for the time and effort you put into it.
Whether or not there is a new thread doesn’t really matter to me. I especially enjoy Channels informative and provocative narratives and insights though when he does start a new thread!:) I’m sure it takes quite a lot of time a effort to put together.
I stand with goiman’s #4 remark- Thank-you Channel. 🙂
Couple of days ago Bruce basically asked who are the people who viewing and not commenting. Here’s a hypothesis; its all the people Bruce chased off this site.
Hi stdomsgirl!
Did The Geeks help you out?
I must agree with you Channel, sad but true. He is quite an obstacle to get by. I’m sure this will provoke another attack but so be it.
Stdoms, goiman ThanX for your support.
If there is an attack it will be on me, so be it.
Goiman, I didn’t say that Channel has not done a good job at all.
I appreciate his summer project. Just think many of the selections are never played by Imus.
Personally music is something I love. It doesn’t matter if Imus plays it or not. I can record and combine them all into one presentation. But it seems no one truly cares about that aspect.
Such is life. Try and do something good and you are laughed at as wasting your time.
What happened to PTBartman’s essays? Keith’s essays? And Ree’s essays?
One person cannot do it all. I juggle four different things, and it takes me all day and sometimes into the early morning of the next day to complete them.
So when I said “Finally a New Thread”, it wasn’t a sarcastic comment at all. It was just a fact I was conveying.
There you go; everyone is slacking, it’s all about Bruce.
Bruce:
I never said you claimed Channel did not do a good job. I was just expressing my own feelings.
I do think, however, your comment #1, was unfortunate and unkind (“remarkable, I must say”). Maybe I miss-read your intent?? The whole tone was harsh.
I do think its up to Channel to tell us running this site is too much for him. JMO
Could it be a tiny bit of jealousy?
goiman: Naw – have not got the Geeks to help yet! Lol 🙂
stdomsgirl
Thats too bad. Maybe I can post for you!! Hey, thats a thought.
Probably won’t work. I don’t know, this is frustrating…
Here’s a definition of Sarcasm from Wikipedia
If the shoe fits, you must convict. Sorry different case.
Bruce,
I would post some more but I need Imus on air. I play off of the guest. I like I Favs, I guess what I am saying is I need “targets” Big Grin. I don’t wound, when I blog I slap, for fun.
If I just blogged to blog right now, it would be about politics isn’t there enough of that all over the internet?
I like the topics ChannelXRFR chose, anyone who has seen me drop you tubes into threads, know how much I love music.
That is why I picked a Fire and Burn theme, for I Man myspace player, in honor of the up coming Democrat Convention.
Hey All,
I haven’t been on this site since Friday. For some reason I couldn’t connect to it along with my email, my secondary e-mail, just about every search engine known to man. (sound familiar St.Do’ms?) It seems I had contracted a nasty virus. For legal reasons i won’t go into what I was doing when I contracted said virus but let’s just say I was wearing an eye patch and there was a parrot sitting n my shoulder at the time.
All of a sudden i got a pop-up offering a free scan for something called antivirus 2009. It’s one f those bugs that only their program can remove.
First I used Spy doctor that removed the pop-ups. Then I used Registry Mechanic and that fixed a lot and my computer is running like new. Then finally i down loaded AVG Free and I was able to access all my favorite sites again. I would suggest doing that St.Dom’s . I’ve tried other antivirus programs and I still swear by AVG.
Hope that helps.
The other point – Imus Bumpers is a collaborative process. The country selections were put together with people providing selections over multiple threads. Keep in mind after posting the Jazz / R&B selections there was input and changes were made to versions as well as adding selections.
I don’t have an hour to listen for a 3 minute selection. That’s why I’ve used the YouTubes. Once we have gotten through a discussion and the playlist is finalized on the iMus iMix At that point I will download the country bumpers from iTunes.
So we are clear, authors will publish when they are ready. In other words not on Bruce’s direction. Capiche?
Channel,
Not you too? It’s not all about me. You can make it all about me though.
What is it? The old saying “What have I did for you lately” scenario.
Not getting into it here. You know where I am. And can question what I have said away from everyone. Leaving out the description of sarcasm or that slight by you.
Thought you had more class. Guess I was a little off.
ChanX,
You do a yeoman’s job, and I stand by my prior pledge to make you my write-in candidate on the November ballot.
Of course, that could change, but only if Biden is named as VP-nominee. Delaware is a small state; none of us who are “from there” are separated by more than three degrees of separation. I have a mere two “double degrees” from Joe myself.
P.S. : Mi espouso just brought home the absentee ballot application. He’s always out of the country on election day, so that’s routine for him. I am considering it this year myself to avoid the long lines at the polling place (where I am usually the only Democrat) — So, is that “cheating??” — inquiring minds want to know.
PT,
That was exactly the same thing I got but I wasn’t browsing anything special. I think I got it ,when I thought I was closing the pop up. If you thought it was really a message from your anti virus like McAfee but it wasn’t. I am using Spy Doctor and McAfee.
Was happy to keep this in the background. However, refer back to comment #1. Understand I’m not playing this game.
To be clear no one, not even you, will chase me off this site.
Are you talking to me Channel? Chasing you off your site is kind of silly don’t you think?
In all of our off site discussions you have not even disclose a real first name. What are you trying to prove to me if you have even an idea of what I am all about.
Donald wrote me. Did you? NO! Why is that?
Have been a loyal supporter of Imus and this site. But now it’s obvious you are going in another direction. I am not your enemy. I have been a friend. But your comments just in this thread have seemed like you have had some kind of mind altering experience.
These are the most comments on this site in quite a long time. Am scratching my head why is that?
Maybe, just maybe I opened a hidden wound you have suffered from someone else.
When you have completed your Imus Bumpers, I will record and put them up on My Space. Not Yahoo Videos where you have a I Mash searching it.
You truly cannot be serious.
Like the X-Files, we now have the I-Files where the Channel persona is monitoring the ever present persona from Florida through the I-Mash!
Don’t scratch too much, reports are it can lead to paresthesia.
Frec, It is an honor and thanX for your consideration, if not your vote. I am humbled. ChanX
Hey PT, Glad to have you back. Thanks for the thoughts about my problem. 🙂
People Read the Blog, who never comment. I read many blogs that I never comment on but when I click on the blog. I will be counted, and show up in the blog counter. Everyone who reads doesn’t comment. The high traffic has a lot to do with Readers. I fans reading about Imus News. I imagine some even read our comments:) Call them lurkers, I call them Readers.
I did add the link to the Imus Country Bumpers you tube, to the Bulletin on Myspace I Man, up to more then 800 friends lots of folks from Great Britain. Recently got an add, from Marshall, remember Heaven’s Gate. Marshall must have watched a lot of X Files, I want to believe 🙂
I could use a graphic and links, for the Imus Ranch CD, with the clickable link to buy, like above for pre ordering copies. I could run that through bulletins also. Something I can cut and paste.
Those big words are just an indication you are hiding something Channel.
I do not fear anything that you say. Just one cog in the wheel who has always been with you.
Now things have changed. And I cannot figure out what it was. But it is insignificant.
Now PT: I should have placed the warning about that false message you received which you bought as being true. There are very ingenious ways spammers have sucked in people to click on a link to clear their system. This was reported by Panda, not Pando security about this very thing.
Personally I get them all the time and it’s just an easy thing to block and bounce back to them. Even if they seem to be real.
Sorry I failed you.
Ree, Constant feedback we get is ImusTimes is a source for Imus News. Have a large number of readers who are looking for Imus news. Summer numbers are off by 50% to 70%, which is understandable.
considering Imus was of the air 50 to 70% of the summer
Can’t figure it out? You have chased people off this site, (people i really like by the way) you are telling me how to vote, demanding that the thread be changed, mocking this post and calling contributers slackers. Why don’t you work on that?
Reference – Comment #1
Channel: Where have I chased people off this site? Have never used the word slacker. Where are you getting your information, the Daily Kos or Keith Olbermann?
Politics has been the downfall of both sites. It is like we are taking sides as if there is a minefield between us.
Could care less who you vote for. But do not say I have run people off this site. Or say I used the word slacker. That is not in my vocabulary. Have called some lazy.
I have pressed people to take the time to create a avatar. It makes it easy to identify them.
And if by chance the people that you say were run off by me, who are they?
I am available for you to write me if you so desire. But seems that is no longer an option for you. You just like to be the leader and that’s it.
You have known me since way back in 2007. I say what I feel, and mean what I say. You cannot change me.
Persons you have chased off? The list is long, most recent was skiwolf. When you question where is Keith, Ree or PT you are calling them slackers (my word).
You did say Donald Inks or I could vote for for BHO, thanks but no thanks.
It’s not about being a leader, I’m not going to be pushed around or otherwise bullied.
Ski Wolf?
He isn’t even posting at Imus Truth. Ree I converse with all the time. PT explained why he has not been posting.
Keith is busy.
Sorry you feel that way. But that is what happens when you are not pro-active.
And how in this God’s green Earth am I bullying you? Are you that insecure that you need someone to worship you?
Life is too short to worry about trivial things.
I believe this about when you leave the site. Never see much posted after 9PM EDT.
Excuse me, skiwolf said he was leaving, your response was “you’ll be back, everyone comes back”. He has not been back.
Who’s not proactive?
Oh by the way. Bella didn’t like the “N” word that Dick Gregory stated on Imus. Ginger posts vigorously on Imus Truth, and is on my personal mailing list.
If everyone agreed with each other what would be the point of having a discussion. And if they are so tender they cannot handle some semi-negative comments, then they cannot handle any type of discussion.
Don’t think you want a bunch of robots do you?
Stop this madness and just stop calling me out and trying to gather your supporters to prop you up. It’s all false praise in any case.
Good night Channel.
Put your keyboard in a drawer and have a good nights sleep.
Channelxrfr
There is a you tube out for “Raisin McCain” by John Rich, have you seen this?
No thanks Channel,
My keyboard is always at the ready.
Thanks Ree,
A positive message. Not the filth by Ludacris for the loser Barack Hussein Obama.
John Rich is a performer. Not an ignorant rapper.
What do you know about rappers? Give it up.
Famous last words. Do you know rappers?
Thank you for imparting all you know about rappers.
I know just as much as you do.
Give it up.
I am here for the duration. What a fine friend you have turned out to be.
Ignore the advertisements please
Channel,
Missed comments 4 by Goiman and 6 by you.
It goes back to what you later said that was untrue. I have never run off anybody from this site. How can I run somebody off a site?
If you can quote in context all that I said regarding this would love to see these transcripts.
This is getting to be like beating a dead horse. And it is becoming your theme on this site. What are you afraid of and why?
I explained to you who I knew left on their own. If anything it’s the responsibility of the site manager to create interest and set the tone of the conversation. Without a direction the site is open to all mal-contents that wish to cause trouble.
Now let’s suppose you believed I ran someone off this site. Did you mention it then? Did you write me off site and tell me to stop? As far as I know you didn’t. So guess you didn’t care or were too busy to make a comment. Whatever the case the fact remains I am blamed for something that I am not responsible for.
If I can be so bold. You are now opening yourself up to be ridiculed by others on the Sister site for not doing what a good moderator does. I would guess you don’t care about them. Personally I can handle it. And since you will not post there you cannot defend yourself.
Don’t take this personally. But when you have something to say to me just write me. Wish I had kept all your emails so I could reproduce them for all to see. But you get the point.
One thing I am glad for. You are not voting for Obama. That is a positive thing.
Later my Friend
Bruce, why don’t you go start your own site then you can put into place your “good moderator” practices.
So there is no misunderstanding, don’t be expecting any emails from me.
Gravely voiced ‘Kerry from New Jersey’ calls the Imus show back 15 years later! Apparently Imus didn’t take her call 15 years ago and Bernie asked her to call back.
She is very high on Joe Biden. Bernie replies Joe is a big mouth, a “macaca” moment waiting to happen. Kerry wants to know why Joe Biden is no longer an I-Guest? According to Bernie “He’s a jerk” and they no longer want Biden on the program.
Thanks to Kerry for asking and Bernie for clearing up the Biden situation!
Don’t have a lot of tome today, Mr. X. Finally got some billable hours coming in …but did want to take the time to give you another word of support …a genuine one at that.
Good luck with the malcontent.

Post #24
“Donald wrote me. Did you? NO! Why is that?”
JESUS Bruce! I wrote you back to tell you that you were off on a number of comments, and quite likely you weren’t reading what people type in a correct way! In OTHER words, I was cutting you some slack! I WROTE you OFF site to spare the site from stupidity, and not to waste the other posters time on this fine site!
Your number 1. comment posted at the top of this threat was inexcusable.
I agree with Chanx:
You’re such a brilliant moderator (and get along with others SO well) you should start your OWN Imus blog and show everyone your brilliance.
To the rest of the posters…I apologize this had to be brought on site. I TRIED to keep it OFF.
ChanX:
Keep on with the good work. That goes for P.T. and Ree also.
I for one love this site. It’s the best of all that were, and is a great place to be.
“top of this threat”
Meant to say: top of this thread.
My misspell 🙂
From the WINS website:
Cockroach Race Used to Predict Next President
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — Can a race between two cockroaches predict
who’ll come out on top in November’s presidential election?
Probably not, but that won’t stop a New Jersey group from holding its
14th running of the roaches Thursday.
Madagascar hissing cockroaches will be used to represent John McCain and
Barack Obama.
The New Jersey Pest Management Association will hold the race during its
annual clinic and trade show in New Brunswick.
Past results include a roach representing Al Gore winning by an
antennae, which the association says shows the roaches were as confused
as the American public about the 2000 Electoral College process.
While the group acknowledges there’s no evidence roaches can predict
anything, it says it hopes the race creates excitement about the work
pest control professionals perform.
You can make up your own jokes, if you like.
P.T.:
Should be a great race, as long as they work all of the bugs into the system. 😉
All,
Check out the player, did I miss any significant fire and or burning the mother down songs:)
http://www.myspace.com/getoffmyphone
Feel free to make request my daughter, and I added our favorites. Oh and at this point, my Republican daughter told me, she would Vote for Hillary, and you all don’t even have any idea, how much she can’t stand the Clintons. Good Job Billy Jeff. I raised her better then that LMAO.
Note to all this is a joke, you all know, I don’t really want anything to happen to Denver. Although, I hope Imus takes a camera up on that mesa.
Ree:
Here’s another..
“Beds Are Burning” by Midnight Oil. 🙂
Good list so far!
Chanx:
Is this the completed version for the “iMus Country Bumpers” at ITunes? Good job & thanks!
donaldinks
Someone snuck in a cover version of “Fire Down Below” with the Bob Seger title attached. Bob’s version is so much better so I am changing it out. They did say it would be good business for street walkers, the Democrat Convention.
Ree:
One more for your player:
“Fire” by The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown.
Sorry, I missed “Beds are Burning” on the playlist when I checked it out the first time…DUH!
Ree:
If you don’t remember “Fire” by Aurthur Brown
here is a link to listen free at Jango Music:
http://www.jango.com/music/6029-Arthur-Brown?l=0
Donaldinks
We have been looking for “Fire” by Arthur Brown, so far we can’t find it. We had to replace the cover version of Fire Down Below, with Cher’s version of Fire Down Below because Bob’s version isn’t available, his is the best. This is pretty common, that people will upload a cover tune and title it with the original it kind of is dumb because I can pick out covers really easy. Pleasant is adding Jimi Hendrix “Fire”
Donaldinks
I wanted to make the last song “rain dance” by the Guess Who but there isn’t a version available. Oh we want a rain dance…
Donaldinks
Damn. I have all those in my computer Itunes library but no clue as to how I can upload them to you…sorry. 🙂
Ree:
If you have a recorder and ITunes…you can record the songs, them upload the files into ITunes. I’ve done that a lot for real hard to find gems I can’t buy anywhere else…
ree, that’s one heck of a playlist..
donald “iMus Country Bumpers” not finalized and is open for comments. Like you I’m not a big country fan. The only country I’m familiar with is what I’ve heard on Imus. Lou had been really helpful when Imus was live this summer, playing a good number of C&W bumpers.
When I put the YouTube together found Montgomery Gentry performance on Imus (MSNBC). Also there is a Lucinda Williams YT with Imus. That one gave me flashbacks so I didn’t include, opting for the music video instead.
ChanX:
The Country Bumper list looks good so far…a lot of the songs that Imus didn’t hump continuously (lol) I wasn’t familiar with. Lots of Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson I knew. Imus does love his Country and Blues though…
Ree:
Here’s a YouTube link for Arthur Browns’ “Fire”. Hope that helps.
Donaldinks
See this photo, that is used with the song Fire, that is Sula that is south of where I was born, it is called “Elk Bath” it was taken by an Alaskan Fire Behaviorist who had come down for one of our worse fire seasons in Montana.
My daughter is taking a break but I am going to copy your message about I tunes to her and see if we can’t tweak the play list. She found me Rain Dance On You Tube, she couldn’t find it on the play list. She said, are you happy mom re the play list because that is the only thing that matters Mom, is if your happy BIG GRIN! I love my kid.
For the life of me I could not recall the Flatlanders track Imus humped. That would be a good add.
The Flatlanders scored a place in the regular rotation of Los Angeles’s KZLA this week when the country station accepted a challenge from New York talk show host Don Imus. An outspoken fan of the Flatlanders, Imus had the Texas country legends as guests on his morning show and then went a step further last month, offering $10,000 to the charity of choice of the first radio station in a top ten market to agree to make the tune “Waving My Heart Goodbye” one of its most played songs. KZLA typically plays New Country stalwarts like Faith Hill, Garth Brooks and Shania Twain. The Flatlanders — led by the trio of Butch Hancock, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Joe Ely — play a far rootsier, more traditional brand of country. Now Again, their first album in thirty years, was released this spring.

If you can find the passages repeat them here. Otherwise just be quiet. How about here?
You Go Joe!
This isn’t helping Channel. My comments yesterday were out of line. But to exacerbate them by re enforcing the negativeness of many at Imus Truth is beneath you.
I have more respect for you and this site.
Made an error and now you are going to side with them. That is not the Channel I knew.
Let’s put this to rest now. This is counter productive to all the good work you have done
ChanX:
Another one Imus “humped” to no end was Rusty Truck. I’ll be damned if I can think of even one of their songs…Imus does put some real obscurities in his musical line up…
…by the way:
“Imus does put some real obscurities in his musical line up…” was by no means a put-down on Imus’ musical tastes…
…the Blues cuts from ChanXs’ last compilation completed many a song I have wanted to find out more about, and add to my library….and by the way, thanks!

Here’s my favorite from comment 51;
Others can add theirs…
Your attack was no mistake, apology not accepted. I’m sorry, you didn’t apologize. So I take that back.
Channel,
Everything I said was wrong. What do you want me to do? Get on my knee’s?
If you feel I didn’t apologize something is wrong here.
I do apologize. Something “WAS” bothering me. And it was mis directed at you.
But this is not a tag team contest. We use to be one. Now because of my ignorance, we have become adversaries.
If you cannot accept my apology so be it. But it’s there for all to see.
This didn’t start yesterday. Have no idea why you decided to go on the attack last thread. See Comment 132.
I did overlook 132 but you purposely trashed this thread. That was yesterday. Today you continued the attack over on ImusTruth challenging Joe to produce “the passage”. Went one better producing it in her own words. Is there any doubt now as to how you’ve treated Bella?
Or as Kinky Friedman says “let Saigon’s be bygones”, huh? McCain can but I can’t. That’s why he is a better person then me.
Bruce:
Since my name was brought up earlier in this thread connected with this “exchange” and me responding to your e-mail…
Do you remember me saying, or asking (in that e-mail), if you were going through some problem at home or something… and, if so, I was just letting it go?
This is becoming a habit. What has happened is a good lesson, and I have some good advice to you. I hope you take it, and take it seriously:
If you are distraught over personal issues…and cannot refrain from taking them out on people on the blogs…get some sleep. If the issue isn’t about personal problems…then think about some counseling…professional counseling. Because, my friend, you are appearing more and more, to me at least, a walking time-bomb.
I’m telling you this as a friend.

I am sorry Donald,
Don’t need you to tell me I need help. Because I do not.
Remember never throw gasoline on a fire. It might blow up in your face.
I have apologized and that the end of it. If anyone wishes to continue this craziness go ahead. It’s a broken record.
When trapped in a hole stop digging. My advice? Put the keyboard in a drawer and give yourself a time out.
Veep watch, Fred Imus is on the top of someones list.
http://getoffmyphone.blogspot.com/2008/08/veep-watch.html
Thanks, Laree. I don’t know why I don’t get on CG’s blog more often. It’s quick, but it always brightens my day…just like my daily affirmation from the Hanley Center (where Imus began his recovery). 🙂
This is funny the anarchist, can’t get their act together, figuratively and literally…recreate 68, they might have to borrow from Obama’s lowered expectations handbook.
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/21/too-funny-moonbat-dnc-concert-plans-fall-apart/
Frec,
I like CG’s blog she is always on top of things hmmm..how does she do that 🙂
Antithetically speaking, anarchists regrouping is an interesting proposition.
ChannelXRFR,
Exactly, I don’t think they have their heart in this Denver thing 😉
Authentically speaking (lol)….anarchists during the Nixon years were my “Heroes”….
…and I would not rule them out altogether after the last 8 years of what our country has suffered. 😉
Time to “Clean House” as it were, and hold those accountable for what has been done to our manufacturing base, our military capabilities, the corruption in the stock market, and start building the country from the bottom to the top, instead of tearing it apart from the top on down. JMO 🙂
Donald, jango link sent me on quite an adventure today. Traveled from country to blues to rock music. Reminded that we use to call C&W “honky tonk”. What ever happened to the great honky tonk halls anyway? St Doms did you ever go to a honky tonk? ThanX…
Channel: Nope ~ no Honky-Tonk- just MoTown in my neighborhood. Stax or Atlantic label records & such. 🙂
This ain’t no disco, this ain’t no PARTY, this ain’t no foolin around. Talking Heads.

And Donald,
Barack Obama is going to do that? Get real. He is an empty suit with nothing but “Words” that must be written for him.
To clean the government up it will only happen after all of us are dead and buried.
Bruce, Why are you attacking Donald? Can’t you stop?
Come on Channel,
I am not attacking anyone. Just stated that fixing the Government from top to bottom would never occur under an Obama admnistration.
And fixing the Government (As big as it is) will never occur in our life time. Been like that since I was little, and it will continue.
Whether it be under McCain or Obama.
Do not confuse attacking someone with facts. If you have a better explanation please do so.
When you start telling someone to “Get Real”, that’s an attack. Bruce you haven’t been paying attention at all, you are losing whatever credibility you had.
Here’s Skiwolf’s last post on ImusTimes #7 followed by Bruce’s wise a** reply #8. Click|Here. If you follow the thread a little further down to # 22 Bruce out of nowhere denies chasing Skiwolf off of ImusTimes. Click|Here.
Tip of the day: For the anonymous one who is cutting and pasting Bruce’s comments. If you right click on the comment # you can copy the link and paste that as well. A subtle way to provide context.
from post #93 (mine) 🙂
“Time to “Clean House” as it were, and hold those accountable for what has been done to our manufacturing base, our military capabilities, the corruption in the stock market, and start building the country from the bottom to the top, instead of tearing it apart from the top on down.”
That being said…I don’t really care WHO gets elected as long as it gets done…and God as my witness, it needs to be done.
That should further clarify my position. 😉
Donald I read comment #93 as you described. Which is another point that was made earlier. Bruce misreads a comment and rants on the person making the comment.
Channel,
You failed to show that everything below what was said with SkiWolf was nothing supporting him by you or anyone else.
One statement. That’s all.
And you explaining to people that normally would care less about this site are going to pick this up and run with it.
But they are running up against a brick wall.
This discussion on site is nothing but a foolish move pushing people away, not making them come here as you wish they would.
If you take my comments and your replies off this thread it will be just as dead as it has ever been.
Why are you so defensive? I make a point… Maybe not a eloquently as you, and you think I have killed someone.
This is ridiculous. You talk about me learning something. I believe that making a spectacle of this site for the NO NAMES on Imus Truth is just making me a scapegoat for something you are hiding.
Why is this happening all of a sudden? I answered comment #93 the best I could. And stated my political position on Obama. Then I said it will not matter who is in the White House, it will not happen in our life time.
You just have a problem that I cannot talk to you about. And that is very sad. Very sad indeed.
Bruce, Apologies are great but are meaningless without a change in behavior. If you were paying attention today you would understand that it’s not just my opinion that you are pushing people away, it nearly unanimous. And I say “nearly” because you are the only one who disagrees.
You wrote;
At this point we would be better off without your comments. Take my advice put your keyboard in a drawer and place yourself in timeout for about 90 days.
This is what you have done Channel: And anything you say from now on is just B.S. to me.
Bruce “ME” Ezugo.
You are one who posts when nothing is being said.
Ladies and Gentlemen I introduce EZUGO… The one with nothing to say poster.

gee Bruce you think being whipped on IT would be enough for you today. You just don’t know how to get along.

Thank you Channel. I needed help in my cut and paste technique, I’ll remember that for the future.
Posted by: anonymous one | Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Isn’t that special. You didn’t make a fool out of me, you made a fool out of yourself.
Have fun.
Bruce that what was your prediction, a complete misread. Who is the fool?
You are the fool ChannelXRFR.
I have been true in everything I have said. You on the other hand have just made a mockery of me and yourself, but also the I-Nation.
Guess you forgot who was there from the beginning.
It’s over Bruce.
That’s fine with me. Pull the plug if you wish. It’s not a big deal.
You are as bad as those that watch this site for mischief.
You haven’t been listening today. Its not me Bruce, it’s you.
My advice stands, take a time out.
Channel,
This is not a contest. I have stated my positions. You have wavered on yours.
You monitor Imus Truth just like Imus Truth Monitors Imus Times.
Me of all people. Staunch supporter of Imus; working hand in hand with you fighting the evil media; and the bloggers of hate; working on projects for you.
I have done what you have asked of me. And now you just sit back and say it doesn’t count.
My apology doesn’t count because you think you have so many supporters. The fact is all you have is butt kissers.
Donald is and will still be my friend when this political season is over. You and I am not sure of.
What’s left? Imus does not need us any longer. All those YT’s and Yahoo Vids were just a labor of love for me. But now you want that to be thrown away like yesterdays newspaper.
I do not have a right answer for you. Something happened that I have not put my finger on. But it must have been something big that no one will know about.
We are a freedom of speech site. If I cannot put my two cents in then you are infringing on my rights. Keith guaranteed this to me a long time ago. And he is the true keeper of this site from what I understand.
Time Outs are for babies. And you know I do not take orders very well. Our sister site has no moderation at all. Anyone can be anybody. Makes me wonder if you are one of those NO NAMES.
I cannot spend my life lamenting on the failures of myself or this site in portraying the support of “Imus in the Morning”. I have done everything for this cause. Yet you want to ignore it and say I should take 90 days to think about it.
Guess you really don’t know my fortitude on this.
It’s all right here. Get some sleep tonight. Tomorrow take a look at your comments on this thread and over at ImusTruth. Think about what your doing and why.
Step away from this for awhile. Trust me you will be happy you did.
I will be happy if you stop riding me. Know when I have gone over the line.
And so far I think I have been very truthful to you.
No need to reply…Because I will not be replying back.
Thanks Channel.
You haven’t been truthful to me or most importantly to yourself. – Reference comment 113.
Bruce take a time out.
Did I not ask you to not reply? What are you doing this for??????
Do you not think this is foolish, or is it your supreme power that makes you think you can pull the wool over my eyes.
I am unrelenting.
Time outs are for children. Do you have children Channel?
When you just come down from your high and mighty pedestal, I will begin to think about taking a break.
Until that happens, I will be here every day watching you. Even if I cannot post.
But I have a place to post your points.
I am putting together your bumpers again. I am sure you will enjoy them without having to wait for a you tube to load.
Donald Inks,
“Seize the Day! It’s yours, so own it . . . celebrate your accomplishments, both big and small . . . and make this year one of the happiest ones of all. Happy Birthday.”
🙂
Donald Inks, Happy Birthday!
Music ~ Steely Dan’s ‘Kid Charlemagne’ – {is there gas in the car? yes there’s gas in the car.} Today would have been my son’s 44th birthday. Inscribed on my kid’s Tombstone is ‘Kid Charlemagne’ ~ George Joseph Auger August 22nd 1964 ~ November 7th 1990. Why the song? Because at 26 he was living the lyrics of the song. Died living the lyrics of the song. Life imitated Art. We loved Steely Dan. Remember ‘Reeling in the years’? Fellow I-Fan Music lovers – I know Country is the I-Fav but I know you also appreciate other kinds of music ~ such as Steely. 🙂
Happy Birthday to you Donaldinks. 🙂
Happy Birthday donaldinks, and many, many, more 🙂
Happy Birthday Donald Inks! and many more!
Thank you for the birthday wishes…each and every one of you! You’re all THE BEST! 🙂
Donaldinks – Best wishes for a FABULOUS BIRTHDAY!! With many more to come 🙂
Donald,

StDom’s,
Thanks for sharing your beautiful memories. May you be comforted by them, and know you have given comfort to others to see beautiful memories are possible. Have a great day.
StDoms, My thoughts are with you throughout the day.
stdomsgirl
My thoughts and prayers are with you on this day. My heart goes out to you.
Frec & Channel – Thank you for your sentiments ever so much! You’re both Loveys I say. It’s funny – its 18 years since he died but still feels like yesterday ~ only a bit muted.
Thank-you – goiman. 🙂
your welcome
stdomsgirl…
My thoughts are with you today. No parent should outlive their child…
…it’s never happened to me, and I couldn’t imagine what you went through 18 years ago…and every year since.
Sending you out some warm and caring thoughts.
To all else that wished me a “Happy Birthday” today (P.T. great video!) 😉 … a BIG Thank You!
Getting myself psyched up for my return to work this Monday for the fist time since June 9th from my shoulder replacement…so it’s back to taping the Iman again! LOL
Everyone have a great weekend, and be well. You are all a great bunch of good friends.
Don
Donaldinks: Thank-you for kind thoughts. I must say – we ARE a pretty nice group of people – we I-Fans. 🙂

— CNN confirms Sen. Barack Obama has chosen Delaware Sen. Joe Biden to be his vice-presidential running mate.
McCain is a shoe in now. Two baggage carrying politicians cannot win, IMHO
Careful ~ might laugh on the other side of you face ~ whatever that means.
*shoo in – not shoe in.
I think it was James Carville who said sometimes you need to step away from the discussion to join back in. Counter intuitive advice for sure. When you think about it terms of Imus and others who took a time out (voluntarily or otherwise) it works. Smart guy that Carville.
In sports like football, baseball, basketball, beach volleyball, team handball and volleyball time outs are called for strategic reasons.
“Laughing on the other side of your face”! I remember those Sisters of St Dominic, very kind women. They would say that all the time to us students, usually followed with a corrective measure!
Biden is not a liberal he is a centrist. Dick Morris said, on Fox Biden was a good pick but he will eclipse Obama because he has more experience, and substance. People will want to see the ticket flipped. Biden on top Obama number two, I know I do. I am being patient my hope is Biden would bring an Obama administration back to the middle of the Democrat Party….but I am not holding my breath.
McCain has a real PROBLEM now. I can vote for Biden where I wasn’t happy about Obama’s inexperience. I am that Independent – Swing Vote demographic. Maybe now the Presidential Race will start to get interesting 🙂
Hey Ree,
John Adams position on the Vice Presidency? “…the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived. Other then presiding over the Senate and breaking the occasional tie vote the VP’s role is limited to whatever the President wants it to be.
That said, how about Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison as the McCain Veep? Wikipedia Click|Here
I’m in a pickle now, ChanX. I didn’t think Biden would be the choice. I’d been saying he’s “a decoy.” I may still write your name in, however. I need to make sure I can spell it out…channelXRFR? Caps at the end, not at the beginning? 🙂
Thank you Stdomsgirl:
shoo-in (shn)
n. Informal
1. A sure winner.
2. One that has a sure chance of being chosen, as for a job or other position.
I am sure glad we got that thing straightened out. Might be losing sleep over it. Ha! Ha!
Frec, Totally understand the conundrum. Thank you for your consideration if not your vote. As always, channelXRFR
From Comment 120
Unrelenting is not the word that comes to mind. Words that do come to mind? Looking at comment #141 (for example) words like “belligerent” and “bloviate” come to mind.

Ohhhhhhhhh, Channel you have started it now! 🙂
ChannelXRFR,
In a normal Presidential Cycle, with really strong candidates running for President, I would agree. Do you remember my old rants about these are not the best choices for either party. My words were, the concern about their VP choices shouldn’t be that important. McCain’s age and Obama’s inexperience has raised the profile of the Vice Presidential picks. I remember when Obama made his acceptance speech that they were the best choices in both parties…ah no they’re not.
We need a post now about Joe Biden’s treatment of Imus 😉 time to put some heat on that Vice Presidential Choice!
Oh and someone on Imus Truth said Biden’s position on separating Iraq into three distinct groups (partitioning) was stupid…well lets see if we go ahead and start pulling out of Iraq in June 2009 and see what the fall out is for Iraqi security. People are taking the short view not the long view of Iraq’s stability, and it is important to us they are sitting on the 3rd largest oil reserves. Then Again Drill Here, Drill Now appeals to me. Anwar is not “sacred” the Alaskans want us to Drill, and as I have commented before, there are a lot of different recipes for caribou 🙂
ChannelXRFR
Here is a nice contrast of Biden’s politically incorrect moments to contrast with his position on Imus. Politicians appearing, how many times on Imus in the Morning? – Glass Boxes ” teevees” shouldn’t throw stones 🙂 I feel a rant coming on!

ChannelXRFR,
One is stuck in the spam filter. I think this would be a good topic for a post. especially with the Democrat Convention getting under way…It is after all an Imus Centric World!
Ree,
I think i have one an Imus MSNBC YouTube of Biden’s last appearance on Imus. Someone needs to get it quick though because it was posted by joebiden.com.

I like Joe Biden, and I’m happy for him. I think he’s an extremely intelligent person on Foreign Affairs. I have much admiration for the guy. Sure, he tends to talk TOO MUCH (LOL) but he does know Foreign Affairs…and after reading history on what befell his family when he was first elected…well, the man does have fortitude and dedication. He has, so far been an exemplary public servant…and a long time good friend of John McCain. Don’t mean to sound so biased on Joe Biden, but I’ve always admired him. He was, in my opinion, the best pick.
Too bad Biden isn’t on the top of the ticket. Have a feeling Biden is out of touch with the Obama crowd and will be shuffled off to an office far away from the decision making.
ChanX:
“will be shuffled off to an office far away from the decision making.”
Do you mean like Cheney was? LOL 😉
Hopefully, Joe Biden would (and should) have a lot of influence in decision making.
This will be interesting (as it has been so far THIS Presidential election) on how things play out in the next two plus remaining months.
What a long and strange ride this has been! 🙂
This is priceless! Barack has no resume, he has criminal friends, he has a black liberation philsophy and a “world view”. His running mate has foot-in-mouth disease. And this demonstrated Barack’s “judgement”? Let the fun begin!
Donald:
You took the words off my keyboard. lol
