Yup, in the days before Twitter it was easier to ignore what I didn’t care anything about. Now even if I don’t see it on Twitter somebody will get all offended and it will get on the news and all hell will break loose for a few hours.
What’s with the brown streak over Mark’s dialogue? Anybody else see that? I thought there was something on my monitor (kind of like when people tried to smash roach on their TV screen in one of the old roach spray commercials).
We’re busy watching our backs. Working to avoid being screwed by our med insurance companies, the hospitals, the stores, anyone in the government, etc,etc,etc.
The F.B.I. has been straightening out its act since J. Edgar died. Remember the thousands of files the F.B.I. team carted off from his house the day after he passed – talk about a man keeping an “enemies” list!
Currently, the Bureau is no more corrupt than any other law enforcement agency. I realize that’s not really saying very much but it’s what we have. If you think otherwise, I invite you to submit examples for the rest of us to peruse – that’s hard examples – not nebulous suppositions.
Folks, they are on radio, back before radio was taken over by the right wing, back when lying on the air had consequences, back when broadcasters had responsibility to the public, back before Reagan did away with the fairness doctrine and FOX was spawned.
Without ratings, advertisers wouldn’t know how much to pay. An ad that reaches 100,000 people is worth a whole lot more than one that reaches 10,000. And they’re not going to take the radio station’s word for how many people are listening.
I was an Arbitron radio listener once. It was for a week, and I have no idea how they picked me. I think they paid me $5 or something.

Remember the time when we could agree on an issue across the aisle and not feel like we conceded our core values?

Thanks for reminding us how corrupt/political the FBI has been for a long time.
