Hillary looks like someone’s mom trying too hard at her daughter’s sorority party.
Sad really…
Adam could have avoided all that gibbering BS if he remembered that the US Secret Service operates under the mandate of the US Treasury Department.
The basic notion that one could buy “healthcare” from for-profit insurance companies is an absurd delusion. “Healthcare” is a marketing meme foisted on the idiot public. “Health insurance” is a cynical bogosity. Forcing citizens to buy it will be a protracted & monumental FAIL.
As absurd as the notion that you should “expect” it from your government or that it could be “free” if it comes from it.
Universal health care certainly ain’t gonna be free. But we could have paid for it had we not chosen to perpetrate Cheney’s bonehead war.
The main reason we won’t have sane “healthcare” (TM) for decades is because the thought of all those brown people getting “free” healthcare (TM) is unpalatable. Gosh, I sound like a liberal. Gack!
Great title and cover.
Love you guys.
Strictly professionally of course.

Here’s a book I read some years ago, telling how the US Military influences the stories and plots of movies and Tv shows, in America, for the last fifty years (probably 60 years now). It’s called “Operation Hollywood” by David L. Robb. – If you ever wanted to know why so many movies and Tv shows SUCK? This book will enlighten you as to the amount of interference the entertainment industry endures, in the name of promoting the Military Industrial Complex. It’s a wonder that any movie turns out good, with all the input and rewrites, by the US military propagandists.

And you’ll come to realize why US network Tv has featured a military show, for the last two decades. Such as “JAG”. “NCIS”, and now “The Unit”. Always surviving poor ratings slumps. “JAG” managed to move twice! Like a hot potato, to appear on three major networks. No other show ever did this. Proving it couldn’t be canceled, in spite of poor ratings. As long as another network could coerced into carrying it for a time, by the DoD.
I looked at the introduction to the book from your link and didn’t see a big deal. The military “loans” the director an aircraft carrier and two squadron of aircraft and you don’t think they should have any input?
Don’t confuse the conspiracy nuts with common sense, it makes their head hurt.
What military equipment did they “loan” to the producers of Lassie? That they felt gave them the right to demand script changes? The few examples you read, hardly cover the hundreds of examples of interference, in Tv and movie making. And it’s not just about making minor technical corrections. It’s also blatant censorship. And there have been movies that used NO military hardware or soldiers. And still had to meet DoD demands, if their producers ever wanted to make another movie using military resources in the future. Basically extortion. It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s fact.
I’ve once read about an HBO movie called “Afterburn”, of a US fighter jet having defective wiring. And a USAF pilot being wrongfully blamed for crashing it. The USAF refused to supply any support to make the movie. So the movie producer had to build a mockup F-16 out of plywood, to film the scenes. Because military wouldn’t admit they were wrong, or that their plane’s contractor Gen. Dynamics, was to blame for a defective aircraft.
The film’s executive producer was Steve Tisch. Who would later make “Forrest Gump”. Another production, that got no help from the US Army. I’m sure they didn’t approve of the Lt. Dan character.
Good show!!!

Since Dvorak brought up the topic of reporting gays in the media (“full fledged”). in this podcast. I’d like to point out some solid statistics, some observations of media favoritism. And ask why the US is even wasting resources to accommodate such a tiny fraction of the population? Here are some of my sources.
http://gallup.com/poll/6961/what-percentage-population-gay.aspx
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/us-adults-overestimate-homosexual-population-much-tenfold
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_sexual_orientation
While US citizens perceive the percentage of gay and lesbians to be roughly 25% of the population. And the Gay-Lesbian community hopes that it’s at least 10%. The best statistical estimation is closer to only 3.5% in the US. If that shocks you, it may be because the media (Tv and movies) tends to give gays and lesbians a higher percentage of representation, in the last few decades. It seems that one in nine characters in Tv series and movies are either gay or lesbian. Even if gay characters aren’t leads, they have a key supporting role, in modern films. Gay and Bi producers and directors must have their little “creative” fling.
Today’s Tv series seem to prefer portraying hetero characters as timid and confused about sex, while the gays are portrayed as brave and certain. And yet the real world is just the opposite. Because the GLBT community likes to point to this reluctance and uncertainty as their excuse for pumping up their percentage numbers. According to them, double or triple the number, won’t admit they’re gay or lesbian. And including bisexuals and transgenders, also helps. I’m surprised they hadn’t thought to add female impersonators and cross dressers to the total. Because obviously, they’re all gay or Bi, right?
Some of the famed sex surveys sited, chose to poll young persons in college or high school. And at that age, they’re far more likely to be sexual confused or uncertain, than later in adult life. This could be either an accidental or deliberate bias in survey taking. The Kinsey report (1948), probably has something similar going for it. As it reported that 37% of males in the U.S. had achieved orgasm through contact with another male after adolescence. Does that make 37% of all males in the US, gay? I think NOT! Because that would be more than one in three. And I’d think we’d notice, every third person was gay. They would certainly have less reason to pretend they’re not gay.
And if an even smaller percentage of all GLBTs are choosing to live together, married or unmarried. Then what’s the point of changing all the states’ laws, to benefit less than 2% of all US citizens? Women and Blacks didn’t get the right to vote in the US, inspite of having much greater population numbers, for decades. And if it only takes a couple of percentage points, to start changing the laws now. Then very soon the laws of the land must be changed again to benefit the Native American population. Who I’ve read is enjoying a growth spurt. Maybe they’ll want their land back. But hey, two percent minorities rule now. So start backing your bags to move.
What really bugs me, is that bisexuals get lumped into the same category as gays and lesbians. Just to bolster their total numbers, for political purposes. And there’s a higher percentage of Bis, than Gays or Lesbians. Either because it’s safer to be Bi, or they’re just confused and imagine they are. It’s like people who think they’re vegetarians, but still consume a little meat now and then. They’re not vegetarians! They’re just experimenting with the diet, and haven’t fully committed to it.
Homosexuality is more of a committed behavior. While bisexuality is a non-committal behavior. And it certianly shouldn’t require states’ laws be changed to accommodate them. Just how many monogynous bisexual couples could there possibly be? It sounds like an oxymoron, anyway. But the GLBTs want to include their brother/sister Bis, just to be sure they all count as a lot more. I think there should be two kinds of bisexuals. Those that want to experiment sexually, and be counted as gay-lesbian. And those that want to experiment, and NOT be counted as gay-lesbian. But the GLs won’t hear of it.
They probably still count actress Anne Heche as a lesbian, even after leaving Ellen D. and marrying two guys. Adam Curry may even be counted, just for saying he’s bi curious. Hey, everybody fantasizes sometime in their life. It doesn’t mean you deserve special legal rights to accommodate those fantasies. So why are mostly bisexual numbers, actual and fantasized, any reason for changing US laws? And why should the other 97% of US citizens, have to knuckle under to the demands of so very few? It’s never worked that way before. Not even for far more important issues, like health care, taxes, war, and education.
I guess that wraps it up.
