Big Brother, Big Business
June 3rd, 2007Here’s a two hour CNBC piece about privacy, surveillance and the emerging biometric lockdown. Even though the situation presented here is grim, we know that it’s much worse. If, however, you or someone you know is looking for a general, easy to understand presentation on these issues, and have about two hours to spare, this […]
Volkswagen’s 282MPG Car
May 29th, 2007This story is five years old. Do you get it yet? Via: Canadian Driver: A few years ago, Volkswagen took on a task that many people thought was impossible: they decided to develop a fuel-efficient, road-going compact car that could achieve an average fuel consumption of just 3 litres per 100 km (94 mpg). Not […]
Scientists Cast Doubt on Kennedy Bullet Analysis
May 17th, 2007Watch out! Red flag! Excuse me for not having more optimism about this… But I find it interesting and ominous that this story is breaking within days of E. Howard Hunt’s death bed confession that, YES, They did it. Where was that story in the mainstream press? Why doesn’t this bullet fragment story mention Hunt’s […]
The Poverty Business
May 17th, 2007This reads like another evil-corporations-fleecing-ignorant-poor-people article, and it is, but it’s a huge mistake to think that the poor mindset only affects poor people. I know people who make a quarter of a million dollars per year who live week to week and are always struggling for more. I also know people who have declared […]
Spin
May 15th, 2007My favorite part is when that Larry King creature is talking to Slick, fifteen minutes in: “He would — uh — serve you — you know what I mean?” Woh. Not before bedtime kiddies.

Baby, You Can Fuel My Car
May 9th, 2007As you know, my wife and I don’t watch TV. We don’t have one in the house. But I remember somehow being exposed to those freaky pharmaceutical adds. Do you know the ones I mean? Pills hovering in purple fields with weird sunsets, and frightening, doped up women with Laura Bush smiles, etc… The kind […]
Cheney Hosts Queen’s Tour of Jamestown
May 4th, 2007I wonder if anyone in these crowds has ever heard of the Declaration of Independence? Via: CNN: Several hundred people rose early Friday to position themselves at Jamestown Settlement for a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth II. The British monarch is visiting the site of the first permanent English settlement in America to commemorate Jamestown’s 400th […]
Potential Padilla Jurors Unsure of Who to Blame for 9/11 Attacks
May 4th, 2007Even the troglodytes sense a disturbance in the force farce on this one. If they even know the official story—many of them freely admit that they’re clueless—they don’t seem to buy it. I wonder how many of them have heard the one about Satam al-Suqami’s magic passport! HAHA On a different point, I’m slightly jealous […]

May 3rd, 2007I don’t see anything about restrictions on the hordes of .mil PSYOP trolls who show up to spread bullshit in comments… Hmm.
