So, will we finally get a tally?
Subject: [WBAIStaffAnnounce] FundDrive Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2015 17:27:04 -0400 From: Berthold Reimers via wbaistaffannounce <wbaistaffannounce@wbai.org> Reply-To: Berthold Reimers <breimers62@earthlink.net> To: wbaistaffannounce@wbai.org Dear all,
I apologize for the late notice. Although I sent a previous e-mailannouncing the extension of the drive, I am not sure it stated clearlythat the drive extends until Sunday at 9:00 PM. Max Schmidt will be thelast person pitching on this drive.
Listening to the 5/26 Pacifica NFC R Paul reports 22 days in they were at 237K on a goal of 475K. That put them at 50% 22 days in with 7 days left (which I think has been extended). LA was behind and extending. Houston reached about 83% of goal. KPFA is at 93% of goal having raised 529K plus 15K since in soft pitching towards goal of 580K. WPFW was at 50% of goal with drive 90% done.
Reparations money isn't coming in like the Bunker Bozos thought it would, I guess. Didn't max get saddled with ending the beg-a-thons the past couple of times, also?
Jeez, I snap on WBAI to hear "Cake" Davis babbling about diet. Yeah, I want diet advice from a woman the size of a sumo wrestler. She's simply one of the craziest people at the station. She reminds me of a woman I knew about 15 years ago, who was also into all the same mystical crap. This woman used to say how 2 slices of pizza and a can of Pepsi were a nutritious meal. She also didn't like going to Manhattan because she would hear all the voices of the people in the street in her head...
I think you're right about Kathy, but I understand that she only eats organic cheesecake, blessed by a certified .East African tribal chief whose recorded mumbling does wonders for her.
Mimi was in great form this morning as she begged for reparations. A post on that is in the works.
Starting to wonder if there was a winner of the i watch or if there was a watch at all . Not a word about it . Strange, but then again it is bai. I was waiting to hear the announcement of so and so from brooklyn or wherever being played , but ...... Did i miss something , Did anybody hear anything?
Yes, you must have missed it. Haskins rather casually announced that the winner of the watch was "Gwendolyn", making it sound like an afterthought. It should have been difficult for anyone with a moderate listening habit to miss this promotional opportunity, but—as you say—this is BAI. Your questioning if there was a watch at all is not far fetched.
I know, and her vocabulary has some interesting original words... ever heard of recordation? She also has an identity problem, but she is perfect for the wreck we still call WBAI.
How did Max get stuck with that job?
ReplyDeleteTo add to the indignity, he's Jewish and he's been turned into a German.
Max is a true asset, the only skilled engineer, and he raises money.

Thank you, that confirms suspicions and makes the picture clearer.

Woe be unto the world should Mimi and Prescod ever start doing a show together. Then we will know the last days are upon our ears...

DeleteMimi wants a "Reparations Superfund". LMAO

Whatever Mimi wants, Mimi gets..... NOT!
ReplyDeleteMimi is just a lowlife crackpot with no class. Go to youtube and watch her antics at LSB meetings. She has no respect for anyone.
