freakin' robots!!!
I remember being terrified by robots as a child. I would watch sci-fi movies from the '50s on day time TV and totally freaking. The local host of the kids show in the afternoon had a robot side kick that brought up the same feelings. I finally relaxed about robots when Lost In Space started... Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!!! Finally a cool robot. The 60's rocked!

Eskimo Hunters 1949
Neat look at a time gone by. Hokey in ways, the sound effects are sometimes over the top especially the sound of the dog team, but overall a neat blast from the past.

Fool Me Once, Shame On You - Fool Me Twice Shame On Me
Fool Me Once, Shame On You - Fool Me Twice Shame On Me: "Despite Democratic majorities in the House and Senate and the ease with which Obama won the presidential election over McCain/Palin, the Democratic Party has totally collapsed. The Democrats have abandoned every constituency. Democrats have discarded the American people. Democrats, in pursuit of campaign contributions, represent the moneyed interests on Wall Street, the munitions companies, the insurance companies, the agri-businesses that have destroyed independent farmers, despoilers of the environment, unaccountable police, and the builders of detention centers. The exception is Rep. Dennis Kucinich."

GOP Senators Drop Out of Panel Inquiry Into CIA Program - washingtonpost.com
GOP Senators Drop Out of Panel Inquiry Into CIA Program - washingtonpost.com:
Pelosi had this to say...
"'Candidly, I wish that the attorney general had waited,' she said on CBS's 'Face the Nation.' 'A lot of things are being said -- 'Well, you know, torturing people is something that we did, but on the other hand it produced all kinds of incredible information.' It did produce some information. But there is a great discrepancy and, I think, a good deal of error out there in what people are saying it did produce."
So We did torture,
"...it produced all kinds of incredible information." but, "...a good deal of error."
So I think that anyone that supports torture should be subjected to the same treatment to see what kind of "..incredible information." could be gained from them.
What ever happened to our moral superiority to the Nazis?

Who RulesAmerica
Who RulesAmerica: "In the United States, wealth is highly concentrated in a relatively few hands. As of 2004, the top 1% of households (the upper class) owned 34.3% of all privately held wealth, and the next 19% (the managerial, professional, and small business stratum) had 50.3%, which means that just 20% of the people owned a remarkable 85%, leaving only 15% of the wealth for the bottom 80% (wage and salary workers). In terms of financial wealth (total net worth minus the value of one's home), the top 1% of households had an even greater share: 42.2%. Table 1 and Figure 1 present further details drawn from the careful work of economist Edward N. Wolff at New York University (2007)."

Anesthesia And The Components Of Waking Up
Anesthesia And The Components Of Waking Up: "The world is now a Gulag Archipelago, run by the ruthless minions of the Rockefeller-Rothschild conglomerate. Its gods are money and power; its only enemy is the advocate of liberty. - Eustace Mullins, Murder by Injection, 1988, p. 188"
Sick and Wrong : Rolling Stone
Sick and Wrong : Rolling Stone: "The system doesn't work for anyone. It cheats patients and leaves them to die, denies insurance to 47 million Americans, forces hospitals to spend billions haggling over claims, and systematically bleeds and harasses doctors with the specter of catastrophic litigation. Even as a mechanism for delivering bonuses to insurance-company fat cats, it's a miserable failure: Greedy insurance bosses who spent a generation denying preventive care to patients now see their profits sapped by millions of customers who enter the system only when they're sick with incurably expensive illnesses."

Joe Bageant: Worker rights: No balls, no gains
Joe Bageant: Worker rights: No balls, no gains:
"So it will be up to us, just like it always has been … the writer, the Nicaraguan janitor, the forty year old family man forced to bag groceries at Walmart, the pizza delivery guy, the welder and the certified nurse … the long haul trucker and the short order cook. And they will snicker at us from their gilded roosts on Wall Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.
Some people are bound to get hurt in the necessary fight. In fact, people need to be willing to get hurt in the fight. That's the way we once gained worker rights, and that's the way we will get them back. The only way to get rid of the robbers' roost is to burn the fucker down.
Anyone got a match?"

Interview with Jim Cramer - TIME
ALRIGHT YOU IDIOTIC CAPITALIST MORONS, LISTEN UP!!!
This is one of your own (Jim Cramer) calling it like it really is. From the mouth of one of the most notorious capitalistic puppets comes the plain truth. Of course the media will ignore it.
Interview with Jim Cramer - TIME:
"Do you believe we will look back on the financial innovations of the last several decades with regret? —Francis Murray, Washington
"They almost brought our country down. The only guy who really called this right was Karl Marx. Marx understood what would happen if you let the market run amok. Of course, it was done by right-wing Republicans. They brought our nation to its knees, and we're not going to end up being a great power because of what happened."

It's Always 1918 At The CDC
It's Always 1918 At The CDC:
"Indeed, as Robert Higgs has written, the very basis of government rests upon cultivating human fear:
The people who have the effrontery to rule us, who call themselves our government, understand this basic fact of human nature (about fear). They exploit it, and they cultivate it. Whether they compose a warfare state or a welfare state, they depend on it to secure popular submission, compliance with official dictates, and, on some occasions, affirmative cooperation with the state's enterprises and adventures. Without popular fear, no government could endure more than twenty-four hours. David Hume taught that all government rests on public opinion, but that opinion, I maintain, is not the bedrock of government. Public opinion itself rests on something deeper: fear."

Web-savvy Japanese Communist party's message of welfare and jobs lures young voters away from sleaze-mired political mainstream"
OMG!!! I can hear Plush Limpbowels' hemorrhoids screaming in agony as his sphincter puckers in terror at the thought of a communist Japan.

Open Letter to the Religious, Fundamentally Idiotic; and their Weak Little God.
As far as I can find this is the first scream I loosed from the frozen wilderness... I can't believe that prop 8 and the MOMANS still are part of the debate. Here is a question that continues to beg an answer. Is your god so weak you need the laws of man to protect him?
Letter to the idiots:
Riddle me this, how the hell can same sex marriage threaten traditional marriage?
Does the existence of a married same sex couple in the same room with a room full of high school football players, predispose a sizable percentage of them to wanting to do something with their team mates butts other than merely slapping them?
Oh I know, your afraid of the 50% or so of us that have tried "traditional" marriage and had them end in failure. You're sure that Joe's gonna say to himself, "hey that thing with a woman was a train wreck, I think I'll find something with even more of a mustache than my ex and marry me some man meat!"
Granted there may be an argument that a greater portion of women would opt for a try with Mary. I've often maintained that if I were a woman I'd be a lesbian. Who could blame them?! I don't think it would happen though. Most women prefer men as their partners. whoda thunk it? Almost like GOD made it that way on purpose!!!
Which brings me to my next question for you weak faith morons. Do you have to pass laws to protect your trembling weak kneed god from the onslaught of pitiable humans that believe in Live and Let Live? Is your faith in the power of God so tenuous that the thought of two guys kissing in the bedroom next door causes you to doubt God's existence?
You show yourselves to be reacting from a position of fear. you react to anyone who differs from you with anger and violence. In the process you diminish your faith and your god when you hurt another in "his" name. May one of the many faces of God have pity on your shriveled little souls.
