Have been following WAMU for at least 3 years now. The station has been innovating itself too. I like the way they put the special shows in the archives section and I often download these to my MP3 player. Got to listen to something on the way to school (50 minutes of bus ride can drive you crazy if you can't sleep).

 

 

 




Warning: Nothing political is suggested in this. Just think it is a funny picture.




An Iraqi businessman interviewd by BBC today:   Iraq is the like wild west. It is a giant ATM, You can go in and take your time and do your thing.

At one point in the season, a player threw a ball into the crowd out of frustration and was penalized. They showed footage of the man that got hit by the ball being taken away in a stretcher and his daughter was crying. Charles commented that players take passes to the face all the time. He topped it off by saying: "You know why that little girl's crying? It's because she's thinking 'my daddy's a wussy'".

"Fort Worth? Fort Worth ain't big enough to have a newspaper."

"Do I have a gambling problem? I do have a gambling problem, but it's not really a problem because I can afford to gamble."

When asked about his daughter getting to the age where she's going to start dating, Charles said, "I figure if I kill the first one, word will get out."

After Kenny agrees with Charles about a statement during Andre Igoudala's dunk -
Kenny: "I think that's the first time we agreed on anything"
Charles: "We both think you're ugly"

To EJ and Kenny: "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful."

  • After seeing Mark Cuban wearing that ugly blue jacket: "Wow, all that money and he dresses like Craig Sager."

     

  • Ernie: Charles do you know what a blog is?
    Charles: No, I just know it has something to do with the internet. I don't do the internet. Anybody that sits and plays on the computer just has no life.
  • Ernie: "Here's Shaquile O'Neal, he's put on 15 pounds in the offseason, all muscle he says."
    Charles: "That's what all fat people say - 'It's all muscle'"
  • Chris Rose: You used to be called The Round Mound of Rebound. Just how round are you these days?
    Charles Barkley: A few doughnuts away from a complete circle.

    "People who talk on the radio are idiots. It's the worst thing that ever happened to sports -- talk radio."

    "I had one guy at dinner one night order 'chocolate mouse.' I said, 'Where do you see chocolate mouse on that menu? It's chocolate mousse, fool.'"

    You can be sure you will have a feast for your eyes every once in a while these days. Supergirls die away, then you have Hao Nan'er (sunny boy?). Now you have a bunch of TV personalities showing off their underwear clothing on prime time TV! Is this what the TV viewers want? Do these local TV networks do some rating surveys?

     

    What do you see? MEATLOAF!

     

     

     




    Prince Yi Soek, whose royal family was forced from power a century ago, starts a nationwide campain in South Korea, aiming to restore monarchy in SK.

    He said he did so to promote tourism instead of seeking power for himself. Isn't that nice? He is a teacher right now.

    Yao Ming single-handedly controlled the tempo of the game especially in the first half. The Shanghai Cable Network commentator was so excited that he made a stupid mistake by saying Yao made 16 shots out of 12 attempts.

    V-Span, on court until garbage time, showed what he can do. Penetrating, driving, stealing.... A killer instinct. I just love to watch him steal and then drive at full speed to front court and lay it up and step to the line.

    K-Snyder, man, isn't he animal enough. When he grabs a rebound and he practically elbows his teammate. I like that kind of attitude.

    Tracy is out of sync at times. But he can be such a good play-maker when he distributes the ball.
