Live or Memorex?

In the comment section, Eots (Enemy of the State) writes: Scott, I’m really going to miss the live broadcast. The interviews are great, but frankly a guest has a tough act to follow when they come in after one of your rants. I discovered your program via the AWR interviews, but once I started tuning in to the whole broadcast, I said damn - this guy’s good. That’s where you truly shine my man, and I know you’ve said you have a ‘need’ to just get on the mic and scream about things. I hope you...

AT&T

When they are not criminally conspiring with the government to break the law and violate my natural dignity and privacy by tapping my phone and passing on my every other electronic transaction, communication, etc. to the national Homeland security state, they are telling me it's going to be until next Wednesday before they can hook up the land line. So... Shit. I guess I need to go back over y'all's list O' preferred reruns.

Feces-throwing monkey on the loose in Tampa Bay

by | Jan 14, 2009 |

Wildlife officials said a rhesus monkey known to throw feces when mad is on the loose in Tampa Bay. Authorities have been trying to capture the primate since Tuesday afternoon, but it managed to evade a bucket truck and tranquilizer dart. OK, this is a serious emergency. But I think in the public interest, I should provide a better caption photo than the one used on the news site. Now, watch out if you're in Tampa, because the feces in question tends to emerge from the hole under his nose.

Impeach Olmert!

Apparently, he, not George W. Bush, is President of the United States. Therefore, I would like to see him impeached, removed, indicted, prosecuted under the War Crimes act, and ultimately sentenced to hang to death (after all of his appeals are exhausted, of course).

Al Qaeda Attacks America Because Israel Attacks Palestine

by | Jan 5, 2009 |

Michael Scheuer is the former chief of the CIA's bin Laden unit. Since resigning from the CIA in 2005, he has been trying desperately to get Americans to recognize that the jihad ain't against our freedom, but our empire in the Middle East. Here Scheuer warns that Americans will be killed as a result of Israel's slaughter in Gaza, just as 3,000 died on 9/11 for Israel's previous brutality (not that they didn't know it was coming and turn a blind eye.)
