And we can't have that! We need consumer products like oil that we can SELL to the poor, ignorant masses out there! Or products that use oil that we can sell!
Maybe it's no coincidence that it was under a Republican president that the US created its motor vehicle interstate system and eliminated any other source of motor vehicle fuel than fossil.
Of course we need alternative energy source systems like solar to be more affordable for the public. Then we can reduce our dependence on foreign countries and really enter the 21st century. I hope Obama tackles this issue very soon.

I prefer M A Persinger's Feelings of Past Lives as Expected Perturbations Within the Neurocognitive Processes that Generate the Sense of Self: Contributions From Limbic Lability and Vectorial Hemisphericity.
It sounds like he's mostly dissing reincarnation/past life regressions sort of stuff, but it also goes into how people can have "religious" experiences due to slight and normal brain malfunctions and magnetic pulses.
It's amazing how many of todays Christians believe they had a past life in heaven, when such beliefs were anathemetized by the Second Council of Constantinople in 553.

who died in obscurity from alcoholism?
we wouldn't have the term McCarthyism in our lexicon or McCarthy Era in our history books
By the way I'm referring to the obscurity part not the far-right paranoia part
Joe McCarthy did die in obscurism from alcholism.
His lawyer, Roy Cohn, is a far more interesting character to look at.
he was a showman
the dude had nothing...so he latched onto the red scare
remember, it was the house hearings that started it all
mccarthy popped in and made commie infiltration a part of the fabric of everything in washington
it was to gain fame...the guy knew there was no real communist threat from within

attacks Iran without UN backing, I expect multiple Arab countries will have to hold their nose at helping Persians and declare war ... or risk coup or being taken down otherwise from within.
That will probably include some of the US's allies, though they may delay hoping for a short war and "diplomatic" end. Russia will support Iran (makes them score points as a playa). Possibly China (they need its oil).
Can't think of a better way to start WWIII.
On the bright side - the zionist Christians may all just stand around waiting to be beamed up as all end of times predictions come true. And, war is often good for the economy after the fact.
Problem is the money and materials needed to fight a war come mostly from China, who would have to defend Iran or risk losing its main oil supplier.
And, yeah, read many places that the Gaza action is really about Iran.

That is the theme of most documentaries concerning joseph mccarthy, but I think it went further. The republicans of the day were actively trying to destroy the remnants of FDR's New Deal, by effectively labeling all such programs and their supporters as Communists.

He had the nerve to tell Hick's mom that it was his decision to not air Bill's bit.
did he apologize to bill's mom, the audience and to dead bill?
he needs to go to hicks grave and tongue kiss the dirt
And got the job done. No need for unhygienic tomfoolery.
he said some BS about how he didn't see anything objectionable with what Hick's said now but at the time he thought it best to cut it
He admitted that Bill was ahead of his time and that he was a doofus for not airing it at the time. He seemed sincere. Maybe we can get the video of it up here soon? Bill cracks me up though. I don't agree with everything he said. But true comedy is timeless like Dave said. It holds up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkptz2YfZik&eurl
hicks, like all comedians provided their sets to letterman's producers before getting on...the set had been cleared
this was the 12th time hicks had performed on the show (although the first on cbs at 1130) letterman knew hicks style
and hicks was not really ahead of his time...he was a part of the natural progression
bruce...prior....hicks
i dont think one is supposed to agree with everything a comic says...if a observational comic is doing his job, you end up not agreeing with everything....but you most likely will laugh at most things
Dave should have let it played and CBS probably had something to do with it. And he was right on the time and timeless. But I give Dave credit for tying to right the wrong. He didn't have to and many people wouldn't.
the suits
im trying to recall if around this time, stern was getting into fcc trouble for language....but i dont think so
this was during the clinton years
things were pretty layed back...and some scandal might have been good for letterman's ratings
the entire episode is just wacky
the health of a society is by how close the comics cut to the bone.

Free car and driver. Make sure he shows up for the job. I don't see where that's a benefit.
I agree in that I don't see where having a free car and driver is a benefit. Maybe we should ask Congressman Charles Rangel this question. Oooops, wait......maybe not. How about Timothy Geithner?

The comic industry was probably leery of introducing a black character after Fawcett Publications did so in the Captain Marvel comics as a comic relief. He was a black guy in long johns and cape, with no powers, who wanted to be a Marvel. The outcry in protest was immediate from black neighborhoods. During the 1950's a TV broadcast of the 1935 serial The Lost City was interrupted for much of the same reason, becuase it was particularly offensive in the way it showed black natives. D W Griffith's Birth of a Nation faced howls of protest, because it made the fictionalized Klan the heroes.
On top of that, the Lone Ranger radio show, serials then TV show had RULES saying they couldn't introduce any black characters into the story for fear of offending the South.
A popular pulp-novel cowboy hero, Dead-Eye Dick was black, but when adopted into serial form, he was suddenly white.

Um, isn't that graphic pretty crass for C&L? No disagreement that some Republicans approach things this way, and are obsessed with dominance and submission in policy, rhetoric and interactions – just look at Rush Limbaugh's recent bend-over 'I'm scared of being raped by a black man, and you should be, too' shtick. I just wonder if running with that graphic unintentionally reinforces some of the same toxic crap C&L often fights. Just my two cents.

i was skeptical of obama's call for non-partisan politics during the campaign. the rethugs are like animals: any sign of cooperation is viewed as a sign of weakness, and they go for the kill. they are already talking about filibusterig the senate stimulus bill. rush let the cat out of the bag when he said he hopes obama fails. if you have the country's interests, not your own political interests, at heart, you hope the plan succeeds, no matter what the political ideology it represents. time to play hardball.
says what he does? $$$$$$$$$$$ Rush earns something in the neighbourhood of 38 million a year according to MSNBC online. 38 million. You don't get paid that much if you don't attract advertising dollars. Ever wonder why he talks stupid? I'm willing to bet he has 38 million reasons.

Not really sure why CBS found it offensive originally. Maybe Billy Ray Cyrus had a show on at the time? Dunno...
