AoSHQ Podcast: Guest, Jon Gabriel
— andy

Ricochet.com's Jon Gabriel (a/k/a ExJon) joins Ace, Gabe, Drew, John and me to discuss the fake outrage over Phil Robertson, the Juicebox brigade's even more fake babies for Amazon.com discounts, this week's NSA rulings and the Obamacare footie pajama guy.

There was, miraculously, no big fight between Drew and Gabe, but I promise they'll make it up to you soon.

We wrap up the episode with quick hits and Q&A from the Moron Mailbag:

Joseph: This is a question for Ace: for a while Ace, you were ending a lot of posts with your 'in your mouth' joke. I was hoping you could read one of them aloud so that we know what it sounds like when you're writing it. Thanks!
tsrblke: What do you guys actually think of the Horde? Do you hate us? Tolerate us? Ignore us? (Be honest).
Elle: Why aren't some of the other cobs on the podcast?

This may not be the first post, but it IS my first post where I haven't been left behind on the old thread for an hour.

Because some of us actually read the damn things.

106 Short version of Obama's presser;

It's really to bad I foisted this destruction of the health care system on the American people. But I am making some moves in an attempt to falsely alter real perceptions about it's disastrous effects. I am going to start with obfuscating real issues that dominate the headline, mostly because Democrats who voted for this disaster are looking for cover and trying to get reelected. Not that I care. But only because I need a Senate majority to keep the destruction going.

Now it's off to Hawaii for me and the "fam". Despite record numbers of people out of work, a historically bad economy, this health care nuisance, NSA scandals, IRS Scandals and my general flaunting of law, tradition and the Constitution- I am off to enjoy a little sun, surf and a lot of golf.

Yes, that's a big middle finger to all you serfs.

110 Explaining the Flaw in Kevin Drum's (and Apparently Science Magazine's) Climate Chart

Two questions for the consensus holders before we proceed:

1) cite the definitive "peer-reviewed" scientific study that incontrovertibly links man with current climate change (IPCC is a political not scientific organization)?

2) cite one example where "man" was able to change the weather or the climate for the better ?

There are even reports that the once celebrated Montreal Protocol for Ozone Hole abatement through reductions in the use of CFCs has really worked as the Ozone Hole is still as large as before.

144 Details are not being made public for security reasons but Fryer testified that one vulnerability in the system was discovered during testing last week related to an incident reported in November. She says that as a result, the government has shut down functionality in the vulnerable part of the system. Fryer said the other high-risk finding was discovered Monday.

In another security bombshell, Fryer told congressional interviewers that she explicitly recommended denial of the websiteÂ’s Authority to Operate (ATO), but was overruled by her superiors. The website was rolled out amid warnings Fryer said she gave both verbally and in a briefing that disclosed Â“high risksÂ” and possible exposure to Â“attacksÂ”.

160 Log Cabin Republicans response to the DD kerfuffle: Following the fallout from a recent interview in which Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson criticized gay Americans while citing his religious beliefs, and the Robertson familyÂ’s subsequent statement suggesting his suspension from the show could end their relationship with A&E, Log Cabin Republicans has suggested mediating this dispute with a Â“Moonshine SummitÂ”. Â“LetÂ’s put an end to all of the fussing and feuding and talk about this like adults,Â” Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director Gregory T. Angelo stated. Â“Phil, you have your views and we have ours, but I think youÂ’d be surprised how much we all have in common, and thereÂ’s no better gay folk out there to make that case than Log Cabin Republicans. WeÂ’re conservative, weÂ’re guided by our faith, and we believe in freedom of speech. Most important, we are all children of God; thatÂ’s the most important thing we have in common. So in the spirit of the season, letÂ’s get together Â— your family and ours Â— raise a glass, and work this out.Â”

196 >> I constantly give you a hard time, but the volume situation is getting a lot better BTW. The first 13 minutes or so of this one used a different recording than the remainder. (i.e., the method we've been using on all of them to date, with one exception). The post-13 minute-ish recording was made using GarageBand with automatic level control on, and it's a much better raw recording. Still experimenting, though. >> By the by, I guess no one on the podcast is duck hunters? Nope, I am. And I've known about these guys for years ... way before they had a show on TV (much less A&E - they had Duck/Buck Commander on the Outdoor Channel before that). Like I said on the podcast, A&E needs them a hell of a lot more than they need A&E. FFS, Phil Robertson started as LA Tech's QB ahead of Terry f'n Bradshaw and could've gone to the NFL but didn't want to miss hunting season. A&E's holding a weak hand.

Phil himself has enough money he can walk. The family coming out in support of him on this means that the whole cast of the show may give A&E the finger if they persist on this. A&E's got three choices- 1. Reinstate Phil and give the Robertsons whatever they want 2. Let the show end 3. Let them go to another network A smart executive does #1 considering what a cash cow that show is.
