Scary film

I had to do a Google search for this, but the idea came up when I was hearing about the Wachovia purchase and the Paulson Plan getting passed.

This is not coming from some right-wing extremist group looking for "New World Order" helicopters. This is coming from a veteran Hollywood director who has done several box office hits including "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy.

This is just shy of two hours long, so get some popcorn and a soda and make yourself comfortable. The first few minutes should open your eyes.

BTW, I'm told this movie gets pulled by Google often, so if it goes, this post will as well.

Tina Fey Strikes Again!

Spot on impersonation of Sarah Palin.

Although I think Amy Pohler's version of Katie Couric just wasn't perky enough. Or maybe because she's blinking in Morse Code "Dear God please don't let Palin become Vice President or else Tina and I will be stuck playing these kinds of roles for the next four years!"

In related news... Senator John McCain called up the crew of "Kick Start" on ShockNet Radio this past Friday. He was initially happy that he found what he believed was his ideal surrogate for the debate... until he found out on the air who that surrogate really was. That probably explains why he suddenly Kerry-Flopped later that day and showed up.

See? This is the kind of stuff that you miss when you don't listen to ShockNet Radio! Be sure to tune in this Monday at 8am Eastern to see what else goes on!

Bob Barr's Phantom Debate

John McCain wanted to throw a temper tantrum and not be in the debate this past Friday. He claimed that he was suspending his campaign until Washington could work out the big uber-bailout (a.k.a. Wall Street Screwjob), but after he dissed David Letterman and got called on it, he Kerry-Flopped and showed up at the debate anyway.

It's a pity too because if he followed through at being a no-show the outcry was to have the Libertarian Party candidate take his place. Sadly, that didn't happen.

But the folks at the Reason Foundation decided to do something unique... they invited Bob Barr to their headquarters and they had a Phantom Debate. Barr actually provided his own unique replies to the responses of Barack Obama and John McCain live as they were jawing away.

The full video isn't up yet, but this is Barr's closing thoughts and Q&A after the fun was done. When the video is ready, I'll post it here.

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 09/27/08 Show Notes

Boy I feel drained. This week's show will have not one, not two, but THREE original rants, and on three separate subjects.

We've got the Paulson Plan and why the whole thing is just one big screwjob for America. You can probably guess a few reasons why, but there's even one that took me by surprise as to the bluntness of it. Then I have a more local subject to discuss... namely Atlanta's local gas shortage... now on its third week, and why this problem is part of a larger one. And then it's time to bring up something that I mentioned I would bring up a few weeks ago. Well that time is now, and it is something that you really need to put some thought into. Pretty much every segment this week falls under the category of leaving your thinking caps on.

All of that is THIS SATURDAY over at ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern Time, 6pm Norman Time, and you can listen in either through ShockNet's streaming server, or through Apple's iTunes radio in the "Talk/Spoken Word" or "Classic Rock" categories.

$700 billion...

$700 billion for a bailout we can't afford to make and the politicians can't afford to ignore.

But the biggest kick-in-the-nuts is the codicil is the one the media is barely touching on... the one that does to Wall Street what the PATRIOT Act did to the Constitution. Don't worry, I'll be discussing it on my show, but hopefully by then it won't be as a bitter afterthought.

But in the meantime, I have to ask...

Is it all sinking in yet? Is that feeling coming up where you know you need to do SOMETHING?

If you think that this is still just between Democrats and Republicans, then you're not there yet.

If you think that that our elected grifters and shysters still somehow will do what's right, then you're not there yet.

If you can look at the clip I just included and just see Brad Pitt talking about a movie that you probably didn't see and not get the greater meaning behind it, then you're not there yet.

If you really think that the situations that we're in suddenly came out of the blue with no warning whatsoever, then you are NOT THERE YET!

And all I can say is this... if you're not THERE yet, after all that has come up so far, then it could very well be too late for you.

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 09/20/08 Show Notes

Cobbled together yet another jam-packed full-hour show this week. In fact you may have noticed that my commercial breaks have been getting shorter and shorter as I've been bringing more and more into this show. That's good. That means that I'm back into the groove! (About time too!)

First we have the "Political Quick Shots", my new segment on the campaign mess, and I managed to not only drag our current Doofus-in-Chief into it, but also a previous Doofus-in-Chief that our current one seems to be channeling with great ease. Yes, it's history time again and while you get the lesson, they get the pop quiz.

Then it's another blast from the past as I go over some previous political games.

And then the question I'm sure some of the MySpace viewers are wondering about... what's up with the (Pro-Freedom) tag? Well you'll find out why I consider it to be important and what it has to do with where we are going today, and it also connects to our current economic problems. How? Well tune in and found out!

All of that is THIS SATURDAY over at ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern Time, 6pm Norman Time, and you can listen in either through ShockNet's streaming server, or through Apple's iTunes radio in the "Talk/Spoken Word" or "Classic Rock" categories.

Supernews: 9/11

The toon says it all...

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 09/13/08 Show Notes

9/11 + 7

No it's not a math problem. It's been seven years since 9/11, and while we're on this kick on getting people to remember it, I want to remind people what has been happening in our name and under that banner.

It is a serious subject, and as such I really can't be wild-and-zany, so you'll notice a more somber tone during my show. And not only do I talk about what has happened, but I also have some of my original words from the ORIGINAL "Brutally Honest - LIVE" show from the day immediately after 9/11.

I'm also trying something new this week... an off-the-cuff commentary segment about the presidential campaign called "Political Quick Shots". Is this a keeper segment? Or would you want the news and "Unflushed" segments back? Let me know.

All of that is THIS SATURDAY over at ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern Time, 6pm Norman Time, and you can listen in either through ShockNet's streaming server, or through Apple's iTunes radio in the "Talk/Spoken Word" or "Classic Rock" categories.

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 09/06/08 Show Notes

This has been a week of blowhards, and not all of them were man-made. Hey, how many people can say that they got upstaged by a BIGGER bag of wind?

Well between Gustav, McCain, Palin, and the rest of the GOP windbags, I ended with a lot to talk about, and I crammed it all into the first segment of the show! And I even threw in a special "Unflushed" segment as well!

But it wasn't the only thing that I talked about. I pulled out an appropriate rant from the Brutally Honest Archives, and I got into one of the key talking points for the GOP that they have been trying to hype into something it clearly never was. What is it? Tune in and find out!

Oh, few other things...

FIRST... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tune in on Monday morning (09/08) at 8am Eastern for the debut of KICK START! This is ShockNet Radio's morning jolt like you've NEVER been jolted by those lightweights on terrestrial radio! RJ is really excited about getting this off the ground, and it's safe to say that you never know what will happen on that show. You may even get a few surprise callers!

Second, I've been having some issues with the radio archive provider. The archived shows themselves are safe (they're part of the Internet Archive) but the website doing all of the organization is having issues. I don't know what that will mean when we deal with uploading shows... but I hope we'll have everything up and running.

So PLEASE be sure to tune in over at ShockNet Radio THIS SATURDAY at 7pm Eastern Time, 6pm Norman Time, and listen in either through ShockNet's streaming server, or through Apple's iTunes radio in the "Talk/Spoken Word" or "Classic Rock" categories.

Radio archive down

There's something really screwed up with Ourmedia right now... that's the group that works with my radio archive. My archived shows are still fine... those are actually part of the Internet Archive Project, but the Ourmedia folks apparently have some issues that they need to resolve.

I'll keep you updated about this as I hear more about it.
