This Episode’s Show Notes by KD Martin:
From Gitmo Nation, it’s your weekly tuneup — No Agenda! Some excellent news from Adam, we’ve reached over 100,000 listeners per week! Uh, oh – the bad weather has hurt the wheat crop, what will the crop circle aliens do now? Will food prices come down once they’ve gone up? More bad news, 89,000 Britons stranded as XL Travel goes belly up in the UK. John wonders why this news tops the Lehman Brothers collapse. Adam brings up the greenies and the CO2 tax. Adam’s new theory: the Georgia invasion is part of the “drill oil, baby, drill” mentality to destroy the entire banking system and, gasp, population reduction?
After Adam points out the latest Chunnel accident, we get sidetracked into terrorism and John asks, are the new laws against liquids on aircraft really against terrorism, or is it a great plot just to keep people from overpacking? Adam’s new show: “To Hell In A Handbasket!” Real stories of executions live on TV!
How does this tie into Obama’s “lipstick on a pig?” John wonders about Obama’s insult about “stinky fish.” No one will touch that one. Adam claims this whole celebrity culture idea is hurting the Obama camp and John seems to agree. John: “There’s no reason the Republicans should win this election, and the Democrats are delivering nothing on their Congressional promises from 2 years ago.”
Now that Fannie May and Freddie Mac have gone into the dumper, this so big that no one know hows to unravel all these derivative deals. How many have made millions from Bear Stearns and Lehman Bros. going into the tank? Is the fix in? John suggests hyperinflation so it can all be paid off with bogus money. Maybe this will be the new bubble decade. Adam wants to know “where the next bubble is.” John claims the Chinese are threatining to “call in” in the debt.
Bill Clinton says Obama will win handily. John thinks Obama looks gassed. Is this because Bill doesn’t want Hillary in the 2012 race? John has some entertaining theories about who wants Obama out of the race. Adam backs this trend up with some good ideas of his own. Adam asks John, “Who is Cynthia McKinney?”
Adam brings up another conspiracy theory about the 757 that “hit the Pentagon” — it didn’t crash but released a missile, then flew on according to the “recovered, rebooted black box.” John has some good arguments, and Adam asks, “then what really happened to Flight 93?” Adam does have one valid point about “evil people” in business. We’ll leave it to the listener to pick it out.
Queue the closing credits — We hope you enjoy the show!
No Agenda
Running time: approx. 115 mins.
Cute picture of McCain and Palin.
Here is an insider’s view of Obama’s campaign as it stands today: http://tinyurl.com/3pyfd8
Although I always enjoy the No Agenda podcast and would NEVER vote for McBush/ Palin, I have to disagree with the stinky fish comment interpretation.
There is NFW that ANYONE would imply that Sarah Palin’s vagina smells like a stinky fish. If anything, perhaps fine, fresh sushi. Not even Bill Maher would make a comment equating her punani with stinky fish. If anything, he was talking about Luca Brazzi “sleeping with the fishes” in The Godfather.
Shame on you!
#1–jb==that is funny. Thanks for posting.
>>I live in a middle class area of northern California
I guess if by “middle class area”, you mean an area (Berkeley) where people are able to pay $800,000 for a used starter-home two bedroom bungalow, or $2,400,000 median price for a new home, you’re right.
Guess what, John? Most people in the country (i.e., the “middle class”) can’t afford $2.4 MM for a home. That may be middle class where you live, but 99% of the country lives a different life.
A note about buried utilities versus wires strung on poles: on Sunday our area caught a particularly nasty edge of hurricane Ike. There were sustained winds of 40 to 50 miles per hour, with gusts to 75 for about six hours. Thousands of trees were blown down and tens of thousands of large branches, and about 1100 power and other utility lines. Two thirds of the metro area is without power even now; schools are out for the second day; hundreds of businesses are closed. But since our apartment complex (built in the ’70s) has buried utilities and directly abuts an electrical substation, our lights never went out, thought they flickered a time or two. I imagine the same benefit would hold in case of earthquake or wildfire (those particularly Californian disasters). Of course it’s a lot more hassle if you ever have to dig them up, but that is an incentive for the utility companies to do quality work when they’re put in in the first place.
Second note: #5, Mister Mustard has a point.
Curry: “You live in an affluent area.”
Dvorak: “I live in a middle-class area of Northern California; there’s nothing particularly ritzy about it.”
While Adam may have been overstating it when he said that you and he are in the top one percent in the universe, just consider: the San Francisco Bay Area is one of the 5 or 6 most expensive places to live in the Western Hemisphere, and in the top 20 worldwide. I’m just sayin’…
I’ve got to tell you John, when I first heard Obama’s comment, I didn’t make the connection to Palin. The phrase I remember is “Just like putting perfume on a pig” from the movie “They Live”
What were the BBC shows that John mentioned?
One was “Skin” or “Skins” and I can’t find what the other ones were.
Anyone remember?
