    Global warning..??!!

    Can I suggest, that NATURE has been doing this for years..
    ANd has anything GOOD ever happened, when MANKIND sticks his finger into CONTROLLING NATURE??
    Found out CLEANING rivers from fallen trees WAS BAD.
    found that STRAIGHTENING RIVERS was bad..
    FOUND that depending on DIKES is an unanswered PRAYER..
    Fighting nature is like Building for a Class 4 Hurricane and a CLASS 5 HAPPENS..TEARS IT ALL APART. Understand that the CLASS rating system MEANS something is about 100 times WORSE.
    DRAINING SWAMPS isnt a GOOD THING..
    Chemical fertilizers SUCK and never die. End up in a water table..

  5. Jim says:

    I’m sure Maher is crying in his prom dress that you don’t like him.

    It’s a liberal entertainment show, you dweebs; he tried several times to give it a conservative bent but conservatives don’t like it when their beliefs are questioned or made fun of. Which just cements my disinterest in their point of view.

    I respect Maher because he has the balls to say what he thinks and he is willing to listen to well-thought-out responses to his views. That doesn’t mean he has to immediately 180 just because you disagree with him, however.

    If you were to explain to him in a non-reactionary way why you felt he was being ageist in his jokes, he probably would listen. But how many times have either of you actually contacted him to express your dislike of such things?

    Or do you just enjoy the bitching.

    Duh, why ask.

  6. bobbo, taking the bait off a rusty hook says:

    #5–Jim==why are you so comment worthy?

    Ageism, Sexism, Racism==the touchstone of comedy.

    Why should Ageism be taboo? I imagine Maher would say: “You are absolutely right, but its funny.”

    Demeaning someone/something is the root of most humor.

    Kinda like tuning into a baseball game and complaining it is boring.

  7. soundwash says:

    while they have started chemtrailing the crap of the NYC area again the past 2 weeks..

    ..i find it interesting that they chose to use aluminum..which is found [and is a major contributor] in ALL Alzheimer’s patients. the irony of which is not lost on the fact that fluoride greatly increases the uptake of aluminum in the brain..

    -and here in nyc, we have a “drink tap water campaign” -lol :s

    hmm… i wonder how much money the pharma/medical industry makes off of Alzheimer patients..

    -add to that, our memory and sanity
    100% reliant upon the Earths magnetic
    field. leave it for more than a week or so without creating an artificial magnetic field around you and you’ll not only lose your memory, you’ll
    go bonkers.

    i say this because the magnetic field
    is not only changing [increasing in frequency], but as some may know, it is getting weaker..and we are overdue for a pole flip..which according to several ancient mythologies, is going to flip within the next two years.

    btw, if you still wondering why your hearing of people doing all sorts of batty stuff (like we now have had a 3rd person drive up the Teconic Parkway drunk) -people with NO record of violence killing people etc etc..

    Just keep an eye on the magnetosphere. the lunacy is going
    to get worse, way worse over the
    next several years..

    it’s a natural cycle of our magnetic field. it’s happened before
    and it’ll happen again. depends on where the solar system is in the galaxy.

    -also, NASA has been doing some major doctoring of all the public data coming from the satellites that monitor the Sun and the Earth’s magnetosphere. esp in the last 7-8 months..

    oh, btw, the military, DARPA et al can conduct experiments of any kind on the public masses at large without their consent or knowledge as long as they call it “Research”

    look it up.

    the military knows about these cycles
    and the fact that they cant do squat about the coming climate changes.

    that rocket is being fired for some other purpose.

    -s

    why sometimes, i even feel a little more “touched” than usual.. ;p

  8. bobbo, not an economist but very pessimistic says:

    Hey Soundwash===how do you come to the truth before it is generally recognized?

    Magnets and all?

  9. Satchmo Bevins says:

    In the morning!!!

    Best show ever. Not just this episode, the entire show!

    Best. Ever.

  10. Faxon says:

    Thanks again, boys. Great stuff. Past shows have been better, but they are all good. I have started voting with my paypal account.

  11. David says:

    I couldn’t agree with you more. I used to tune in to Real Time now and then for a chuckle, but his material started trending more towards juvenile name-calling. Nowadays most of his punchlines are some variant of “Because they’re stupid!” or “He’s a moron!” He then proceeded to blow his one opportunity to make a humorous movie on one of the easiest subjects to mock in the known world. I found the movie to be one of the most shameless pieces of propaganda I’ve ever seen, and I’m an atheist.

  12. Two to the Head says:

    ECA

    i CANT read your DIATRIBES because your CAP comments drive me CRAZY Jeese. STOP IT ALREADY!

  13. B.Dog says:

    pi = 3.1416 (rounded off, of course)

  14. Mikey Twit says:

    Wow, first time I ever listened to No Agenda, and now I know why I never listen to it. They’re both crackpots who read WAY TOO MUCH into everything.

    Love JCD’s tech analysis, but I’ll pass on the rest of his views.

  15. Alfred1 says:

    The technical term “Mainstream Media” is inaccurate…

    As their ratings drop…they are rapidly become “the fringe Media.”

    I propose we follow Bernard Goldberg’s [A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media"] suggest the designation be replaced by The Establishment Media.

    They rarely report anything negative about Obama, the Democrats, or the Economy, if it can’t be spun into a positive or be used to attack detractors of the Establishment.

    Rush Limbaugh’s “state controlled media” is misleading…Establishment Media is an advocacy for the Establishment, but does not appear to be directly controlled by it.

    Although it might be.

    Regardless, that would be a tangent that detracts from their main activity, advocacy of the Establishment…and therefore anything they say, should be evaluated with that context in mind.

  16. Alfred1 says:

    Rush Limbaugh predicted this attack on conservatives, often…an example, saying on June 24, 2008

    Well, look at it now. If Obama is elected president, any bit of criticism of him whatsoever, any vote in Congress that doesn’t go his way, the race industry is going to say, “This is due to lack of respect for the first black president. This is racism!” They’re going to say racism about everything, and you can see from this guy from the Atlanta Journal-Constipation yesterday that they’re already setting it up that Obama will not inoculate anybody from being a racist because he’s not got any “slave blood.” So he’s not the first black president. He’s inauthentic; he’s not black enough. He doesn’t have enough slave blood or any slave blood, so he doesn’t come from the slave past, the civil rights past of American blacks; and so he really will not be their first black president. The closest they’re going to get is Michelle Obama as first lady because she has slave blood in her. This is just weird, folks. The civil rights movement and the race industry and Democrat Party politics, are just plain weird.

    Race was a big issue in the Democratic Primary…an objective analysis is Democrats, especially when their history is known, remain the most racist party in America.

    When liberals charge their opponents with racism…its a sign of their desperation…they are losing and grasping for straws…

  17. thecommodore says:

    Uh, John, shouldn’t you take your glasses off before heading into a fight?

  18. GregA says:

    First time listening to NA, but I am a huge John D follower in general. My take on No Agenda:

    1) Adam Curry is a crackpot, JD basically is not;

    2) 50% of the topics they discussed were total crap, while the other 50% were in the “interesting fringe perspective” category

    3) The content to noise ratio is about 5%…there are 15 topics on Bobbo’s list (#3), 7-8 were keepers, 1 minute each –> a nice 10 minute podcast.

    Even stretching it, it is no more than a 30 minute podcast. At over an hour, I just can’t listen to it.

  19. MasonReese says:

    Well Bill Maher is going to shit when he listens to this.

    #15, Alfred
    “I propose we follow Bernard Goldberg’s [A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media"] suggest the designation be replaced by The Establishment Media.”

    That’s how people opposing the communist regimes in Eastern European countries used to call the official tv, radio and newspapers.
    But, as usual, I’m not surprised there is always some Jew claiming to have coined it :D

    FYI:
    In a period of 1945-1968 out of top 100 communist daily/weekly newspapers and magazines in communist Poland, 98 of them were run by Jews. Very similar percentage was in other EE countries.
    Today, in USA and European Union, 99% of establishment media belong to Jews (and probably 100% of television, which is the most “strategic” piece of propaganda for the masses).
