I'm going to be on MSNBC!!

[Dragoon1140]

Wow, cool. Gratz.

Never heard about that show. What kind of ratings does it have?

MSNBC is, unless I am mistaken, the third most popular national news channel in America.

It is generally Liberal though, but that is for another discussion.

Congrats man and color me impressed!  I'll be checking out your articles shortly and I will be hunting down that clip when it becomes available.

Epic Essence! best of luck on ur interview!

That Neilsen chart right there says the Dylan Ratigan show is the 3rd most-watched show at 4pm, after whatever's on on FOX and CNN.   Not bad, I'd say.   Ratigan averaged 325,000 total viewers and 83,000 in the 25-54 demographic between Dec. 28 and June 24. So there you have it.

About your real life image.. I remember you said you are a bit overweight and that you know ninjutsu. I always imagined you like this:



Hm.. maybe your Facebook image is fake.

Actually, that's not too far off, except I wear a black gi, not a shinobi shozoku -- so basically, no face mask and bare feet.   Oh, and I'm only about about half that wide, and my katana (I know, I still need to get a real ninjato) has a red scabbard, not a black one. :p


Here's a more realistic picture of me:

[Boingo]

That's awesome!

They're finally interviewing someone reasonable on MSNBC.....Look out, it's a trap!

P.S.  Any chance for a "shout out" or subtle gesture toward the Elements community?  Maybe pat your elbow 3 times or something like a 3rd base coach.

P.P.S.  Why is the Federal Open Market Committee abbreviated "FMOC" instead of "FOMC"?

No kidding...

Actually, they haven't told me exactly what the subject is -- it could be anything from 'here's a guest blogger' to 'we're going to delve into the painful details of your prolonged unemployment on live television'. 

P.S.  Any chance for a "shout out" or subtle gesture toward the Elements community?  Maybe pat your elbow 3 times or something like a 3rd base coach.

Done.  Left elbow.  Three times.  For you, Boingo.  IDK if they'll give me a chance to do any shout outs, but I'm considering just saying something like "otyugh" totally at random, or just using the word 'elements' as often as possible. 

P.P.S.  Why is the Federal Open Market Committee abbreviated "FMOC" instead of "FOMC"?

Probably because I'm an idiot.  I can't believe that mistake made it past me, my wife, my boss, and whatever intern actually posted the article.   

[Demagog]

You should fake having tourettes so you can shout stuff out :-p

[Scaredgirl]

I'm pumped up. I want to see this.

[Svenningen]

We all saw it in chat, like 15ppl! And dragoon recorded and is now uploaded it!

I kept waiting for this sentence:
"There might be some other ELEMENTS related to why im still unemployed" :happy:

But ohwell Atleast you didnt fart on tv or anything =)

[23:27:50] RavingRabbid2: While Ratigan was speaking he had to scream OTYUGHS EVERYWHEEEEERE
