I gotta call BS on this!

Check out this picture..
This was taken from my cellphone camera in a local Target store on September 29th!

SEPTEMBER TWENTY-NINTH!

Halloween decorations displayed prominently in front, all sorts of costumes and decorations and candy, and certainly the aroma of chocolate is in the air.

But what's that in the back?

Yes, that's an illuminated display for a co-opted pagan season that does not belong there for a few more months! And it's surrounded by decorations that have nothing to do with the current holiday season.

Have they confused their pagan rituals, you wonder?

No, because when I was in that same store just a couple of days previously, they were still full of Halloween celebration and still had a mix of lawn-and-garden and discount back-to-school stuff.

And behind me when I snapped this quick picture were shelves of wreaths. GREEN wreaths. Not for Halloween or Thanksgiving, mind you, because those would normally be brown and orange. GREEN wreathes are for the OTHER pagan season... the one in DECEMBER. The one that was co-opted by self-righteous crusaders.

The CREEP is in full effect.

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 09/26/09

For those of you who missed out on "American Heathen®" last night, you missed a GREAT show! We had PLENTY of people who sounded off and sounded in.

NOW... as to my own show... I'm continuing on the pissed-off part with these cons and neo-cons and their little manipulative ways. I really don't think too many of them understand that they are being manipulated. They are being duped, conned, programmed, by people with ulterior agendas to keep things as they are right now! And we can't get things moving again without getting these people OUT of their cultist trance. They don't seem to realize it, but THEY ARE on the wrong side of history here. And history DOES play a key role in this rant, especially since I put one of history's biggest piece of FICTION in its place. What is it? The answer will shock you.

Plus I have a GREAT blast from the Brutally Honest Archives! Something to do with this past week... a week supposedly dedicated to... ME! Well, you'll find out what I mean about that when you hear it.

All of that, plus some really GOOD news concerning our new FCC chairman, is THIS SATURDAY (09/26) here on ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern Time (6pm Norman time and 4pm Hefner Time) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

And don't forget that I will also be in the "Brutally Honest" chatroom at www.shocknetradio.com during the show, so I hope to see you there!

Brutally Honest: The New Heresy Begins Here!

Call it Pope B16.5

Don't worry, they'll beatify it soon. It'll be a saint before you know it!

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 09/19/09 Show Notes

GREAT show on "American Heathen®" last night! We had a lot of really good subjects to talk about, and we had some GREAT callers. My thanks to everyone who contributed both on the phone and in the chat room.

NOW... as to my own show... I'm... a little pissed off about some of the discussions of late. Actually that's an understatement. I'm angry at both sides and it's time to put them BOTH in their place. Plus I have a blast from the Brutally Honest Past concerning a certain element of healthcare that you may not expect.

All of that, plus an important announcement, is THIS SATURDAY (09/19) here on ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern Time (6pm Norman time and 4pm Hefner Time) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

And don't forget that I will also be in the "Brutally Honest" chatroom at www.shocknetradio.com during the show, so I hope to see you there!

Brutally Honest: The New Heresy Begins Here!

Watergate FINALLY Answered

John Dean, former White House Council for the Nixon Administration, has been a frequent critic of the old Bush Imperium. He should know a thing or two about abuses of power because he experienced it first-hand. He knows the games that presidents play.

His new book is a sequel to his best-selling story "Blind Ambition". This one is called "Blind Ambition: The End of the Story", in which Dean FINALLY gets the answers he was looking for regarding one of the most darkest periods of the Nixon Administration.

Pay attention to what he has to say in this interview with Keith Olbermann.

Another week, another technical FUBAR (fixed)

Sorry folks, but I'm currently having problems uploading the archive.

Last week it was because Ourmedia was down. This week I can't get the upload program to log in.

Oh, and for those who were having problems hearing the show last night, I apologize. We had a double-fail between the scheduling program and the backup computer shutting down. Couldn't happen at any other time, right?

Well the show DID go on, even if we had to restart it, but if you missed out on it, you can sign up with iTunes and get the archive next week... presuming we can get the archive software to work THIS week.

Par for the course for me this week, unfortunately.

Update 09/14: The problem has been fixed and the archive from September 5th is now online and available through the Archives or iTunes.

Brutally Honest on ShockNet - 09/12/09 Show Notes

First of all, I want to thanks everyone who helped in the chat room and called in during "American Heathen®" last night! We had a lot of good subjects to talk about and RJ and I really got into them and I hope it was a GREAT show for those who tuned in.

NOW... as to my own show... obviously I'll be talking about the news, and specifically about the disgraceful actions of the GOP (aka the "Christian Nationalist Party") this past week, and how one of them compared to his counterpart of a century and a half ago. Also I have a blast from the Brutally Honest past... a REALLY LONG PAST at that! And then a discussion about people who want to use government to protect ourselves FROM ourselves, and why that is always a bad thing.

All of that is THIS SATURDAY (09/12) here on ShockNet Radio at 7pm Eastern Time (6pm Norman time and 4pm Hefner Time) over at www.shocknetradio.com and also at Apple's iTunes Radio Player under the "Classic Rock" category.

Oh, and by the way, listeners to AH also heard the debut of my production assistant... BORIS D. CATSKI!

Archive may be delayed (fixed)

The folks at Ourmedia, which works with the Internet Archive, currently have their web site down, which means I'm not able to get last week's show uploaded. Hopefully this will be a brief delay.

Stay tuned for updates.

Update: 09/07 - Ourmedia is back online and the show from 08/29 is now available through the Archive page and through iTunes
