Haven’t heard about “the doublecross” so I thought I would slog thru the unannotated show:
108 Minutes and NO OUTLINE??? Outrageous. But I repeat myself.
000 – Self reverential filler. How many groupies do you have that listen for your personalities rather than information? The market is a strange and wondrous place is it not?
5.00 Five executive producers and not a single editor? Hah, hah.
5.50–Ok, I get it. They are funding contributors NOT producers at all. Still no editors?
Skipping Forward Something about Gibbs then Guantanamo Bay Rulings
15.30 USSC==anyone can be deemed “an enemy combatant” and therefore “not a person” ergo no Const Rights. ((Hard to believe?))
38.00 Hartman on Healthcare. Looks like “any” changes to the Senate Bill will cause healthcare “reform” to fail. Corrupt democracy captured–the only open issue is how many voters can be lulled/maintained in complete stupor to their self interest forfeited to big business. Shocking. Any thinking/caring person’s interest is doomed in this society.
39.30–Sure looks like Obama’s pledge to veto any bill without a public option will be proven a lie. But we all knew that on its utterance didn’t we?
41.30–The Doublecross is Dvoraks analysis of the situation. Well Done. Everything is “timing” isn’t it? And the point of capitalism==allocation of resources becomes completely corrupted into a skimming/ponzi scheme of fraud run by the big houses.
Can’t listen to any more. It is Christmas afterall, must I lose all my illusions?
Can a Citizen be declared an enemy combatant? That status is traditional for non citizens caught taking part in military type activities.
The President can tell the feds to leave interpol along but does this mean jack to the states and other local law enforcement?
I think what the Senate decided to do is to so regulate the health insurance companies as to not need a public option.
I think what the insurance people are doing is called profit taking.This is reasonable if they don’t think stock prices will remain that high for any reason.
The drug companies are just trying to protect themselves in case of law suits. We warned your daddy/mamma that he/she might die if he/she took this crap. It may now be a legal requirement.
Who needs combat troops you can’t deploy? My nephews wife got out for that reason. If they can’t do their jobs kick ’em out and don’t take ’em back.
On the “can’t get pregnant” you need to check who and does it still apply. One commander in one part of Afghanistan put in the policy and I think that got axed.
Get a water filter. I can catch rain water. In some places you may need to filter the rain water. Get a Brita or whatever. Chlorine, Oxygen and a UV light all seem to have their uses for cleaning up water.
Ge weez the North Pole is pretty bleeping cold at Christmas.
Gee all those wild animals running around during the last ice age must be why it ended. Maybe we need to kill all the whales. Their farts must be doing monstrousness damage.
Next thing the greenies are going to want to kill people. Oh wait some of them have suggested involuntary mass sterilization. The guy that is going to take action needs to remove the gold bracelet before he claims poverty.
The good book talks about people having a id # tattooed on them. That is old hat. The real thing will be on chip they stick in your…whatever. They’ll be able to pick you up sixty feet away on the other side of a wall.
Happy new year.
I get some of my fresh veggies out of the garden plot out back. The tiller was American made and the gas came from…Canada or points south. We don’t import much Saudi oil.
Is Adam being replaced by an AI? To bad but we all gotta go some time.
CAN SOMEONE GET IN TOUCH WITH EITHER JOHN OR ADAM TO GET THEM TO FIX THE COVER-ART FOR THE ITUNES FEED? I KNOW THAT DOOD WITH THE NOKIA PHONE BITCHED ABOUT THE COVER-ART, AND COMPLAINED TO ADAM THAT HIS P.O.S. NOKIA WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT SOME SETTINGS CHANGE. WELL NOW WE’RE ALL F’D….. CAUS IT DON’T WORK FOR ANYONE NOW, (EXCEPT FOR THE 10 PPL WITH NOKIA PHONES)…. PLEASE HELP US ADAM-ONE-KENOBI!!!!
Thank you for your support!
#3 Alex, your fucking keyboard is broken, apparently.
