— Ace I know you all are still reeling from this mind-ripping disclosure, so I'll play some comforting music to let adjust to the strange new reality you find yourselves in.
Okay, if that didn't do it, play it seven or eight times until your brain heals.
Now that you've recovered, here's your informational LSD.
When it comes to issues of U.S. militarism and spying, the allegedly “progressive” MSNBC often seems closer to the “official network of the Obama White House” than anything resembling an independent channel. With a few exceptions (especially Chris Hayes [10]), MSNBC has usually reacted to expanded militarism and surveillance by downplaying the abuses or defending them.Had McCain or Romney defeated Obama and implemented the exact same policies, treating whistleblowers like Manning and Snowden as foreign espionage agents, one would expect MSNBC hosts to be loudly denouncing the Republican abuses of authority.
I see many of you are still too stunned to even comment "first." One guy apparently just had a seizure and commented, "HGOH{RU NQ{)UT_{U{)ON U NP(GIH." Another guy's all like "Aaaagggh!" like Mr. Book just psi-slammed him in Dark City.
So for those of you still trying to put the pieces of your soulpatterns back into working order, here's the nonthreatening musical stylings of Don "No Soul" Simmons.
More: It's a Father-Son MSNBC tag-team on Glenn Greenwald.
An MSNBC reporter's dad, who claims to be part of some "peacenet" dealio but who seems to be flacking in favor of Obama's spy state, criticized Greenwald, and Greenwald criticized back.
Then MSNBC reporter jumped in to say "f*** you" to Greenwald, but he didn't say it with like asterisks, he used Grown Up Language.

I now see her about 3 times a year and we discuss nothing but children and general stuff like restaurants and inconsequential things.

I spent a better part of my day taking government online ethics courses which are an annual requirement.
Considering this environment with our largely corrupt government and media it was a joke. Apparently those in Congress are not required to take these courses.

Obviously a political statement of some kind. After all . . . blue?
(I remember back in the day when blue=Republican, before USA Today and the rest of the Democratic-corporatist-socialist media changed the political color scheme for American politics--some time in the late '90's, I think . . .)
(You have to say "corporatist-socialist" to refer to Democrats because, of course, they certainly CAN'T just be called the fascists that they actually are. . .)

Have the orgasm. Smoke the cigarette. Eat the cookie. Go to sleep. Go to work. Do it until you die.
I was watching a live concert in Chicago on ADXnet TV of club music, Fat Boy Slim was the artist playing at the time. It freaking put me in a trance. I wanted to turn it but couldn't do it. One of the lyrics played to the vibrating base was :
Eat
Sleep
Rave
Repeat
Over and over to that base beat. It was hypnotizing.

MS is out of the partnership. They let MSNBC keep the name. They kept the website.
Hmm. I guess since Bill Gates is a big TFG supporter (IIRC), he's not too worried about the MS brand being sullied by their alleged news operation.

I don't usually listen to Hannity's radio show, but Guiliani was guest hosting today. He had good insights into the case, felt the prosecution has completely failed to present a case. Said they should never have entered the Hannity interview with Zimmerman as evidence, you never give the accused a way out of appearing on the stand if you can help it. Also thinks that the defense needs to show pics of Trayvon at the age he was when he died, no more of these angelic kiddie pics, and needs to stress how tall the kid was. Also that zimmerman should have been kept to his weight during the night of the shooting and not been allowed to stress eat. He looks bigger now, and harder to knock down in a fight.
Oh, an apparently Guiliani once served as foreman on a jury when he was mayor. It was a ridic suit, they threw the case out. A legal underling handled the jury selection, he is pretty sure that when the bigwigs in the law firm realized how stupid he'd been to let guiliani on the jury the poor underling got canned. Was an amusing story.
