I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.

majorityfm, audio(45:34):Matt Taibbi on Iowa caucus results, GOP primaries as a meaningless sideshow and why Ron Paul resonates with voters. Plus, Obama’s recess appointment of Richard Cordray, fracking earthquakes. And in the better half, capital gains as income inequality driver, God reveals results of 2012 election to Pat Robertson, your calls & IMs.
Majority Report, audio (1:12:28):Year in Review Show: “Katherine Harris” Garofalo joins Sam to recap 2011. Plus segments from Sam’s take on the Republican Clown Car from throughout the year!Howie P.S.: The highlight for me was being able to enjoy the uplifting melody from Herman Cain's campaign song.
This Congress is a criminal enterprise.
Sam Seder (majorityfm):Today's show, w/ @chrislhayes & Janeane "Katherine Harris" Garofalo from our 12 Hour Anniversary Show, is now up!Howie P.S.: This is what you call a "podcast." Hayes is the 'serious' one and Janeane is the 'funny.' If you're like me, listening to Janeane is the treat you get after hearing Chris Hayes being very intellectual and analytical.
In a truly inspiring display of moral courage, Oakland Mayor Jean Quan's legal advisor, Dan Siegel, resigned from his position at 2AM the morning of 11/14/11 just as Oakland PD was going in to evict Occupy Oakland for the second time. He then took to Twitter declaring his support for Occupy Oakland and the 99%.

It’s Monday, folks and we have a great show for you today with multiple call-ins from occupied movements all around the country.
We will specifically be speaking with occupiers at the Occupy cities who were evicted and/or victim’s of police crackdowns over the weekend: Occupy Portland, Occupy Denver, Occupy SLC and Occupy Albany.
And don’t forget…4 days and counting to our 12-hour Anniversary Show!!!
Sam Seder goes off on the left, the right and everyone in between for criticizing #OccupyWallStreet for not having a clear list of "demands."

After being rained out last Friday, we’re heading down to #OccupyWallStreet today for a live broadcast from the scene of the protest…and this time it looks like the weather will hold off on the rain until we’re done with the broadcast.
Be sure to tune in!
This week, thousands of protesters took to the streets in New York City to protest the greed and corruption of Wall Street. The groups were made up of people of all ages who are sick and tired of being taken advantage of and looked over by billionaires and millionaires who have taken our economy and jobs hostage.
Joined by Ari Berman of the Nation, Sam discusses the recent article by Jonathan Chait on "What the Left Doesn't Understand About Obama."
This discussion is from Seder's new daily internet show, The Majority Report (v2.0). What's interesting is that (a) it's a sideways take from the politically obvious, and (b) it draws on Sam's admitted experience as a sometimes-difficult media person frustrated with his management.
Offered without comment, but well worth your ear:
Sam returns to the subject near the end of the show. You can listen here.
The Olbermann analysis need not be either-or, by the way; the political and personal could both be true.
...(like Matt Bai) and their establishment buddies (like Lawrence O’Donnell).
Sam Seder says vote and vote against Republicans and their policies.Paul Krugman:
So again: it was mainly the economy, with the effects of a bad economy reinforced by Obama’s consistent policy of undercutting both messages and movements that might have helped Democrats weather the economic storm. MORE...
