FEBRUARY 2010 FRIDAY FEBRUARY 5, 2010 12:01 AM (PT) Trivia tonight. We'll talk with Charlie Ingui of the Soul Survivors in the first hour. They've just released a new CD, "Heart Full of Soul" (Click on it for a good price from Amazon.) You can't talk Philly Soul without bringing up "Expressway To Your Heart", quite the accomplishment for a couple of white boys to say the least. We'll discuss it and more. Then in the 2nd and 3rd hours, we'll play trivia. I'm ready for you so do your part and call. We talked with Summer McStravick last night. Did some Flowdreaming and took your calls. If you have trouble falling to sleep like I do, you may want to download her latest CD "Flowdreaming To Fall Asleep To" I'm horrified to note the house overwhelmingly passed the Cyber Security Bill. Only five representatives (all republicans) voted no: Ron Paul as you'd expect, joined by Dr. Paul Broun from GA, Jeff Flake from AZ, Louie Gohmert from TX and James Sensenbrenner from WI. Here's the roll call. Why is this a problem? Because the terrorists that worry lawmakers are those who tell the truth online-- Alex Jones, 2nd Amendment groups, immigration groups, the Tea Partiers. I could go on, but you get the idea. Work on your senators now to vote no, though it's a long shot you'll be successful. It'll be an interesting republican primary in Florida. Charlie Crist wants amnesty for illegals and Marco Rubio says no. The result will say less about the men than the issue and every republican will be watching. Most Americans will be watching the Superbowl. They may not realize that in addition to the teams, they'll be watching their tax dollars at work. Yes, you paid for a superbowl television commercial telling you to fill out the census form. They're spending $340 million to get you to comply. That $340 million compares to $106.4 million in 2000. How well did it work? The anticipated 60% compliance rate bounded up to 64%, still below the 65% compliance in 1990. Looking for a low fat healthy food option? How about a Camel Burger? They called it missionary work and compassion. I call it baby stealing and overt arrogance. Haiti agrees with me and 10 Americans are in jail. THURSDAY FEBRUARY 4, 2010 12:01 AM (PT) If you're beyond fed up and actually downright concerned about your future given the state of the world, you might be able to do something about it. I'm not suggesting you'll change the global paradigm, but I do believe you can change your life and I also believe that Summer McStravick knows how to do it. So we'll spend a couple hours with her tonight. You'll learn the Flowdreaming technique and Summer will take your calls. If you're not on board with concept, let me ask you-- do you have a better idea how to improve your situation? Check us out from 7 to 9 (PT) tonight. And check out Summer's Flowdreaming radio show at Contact Talk Radio and the TV show she does with her mom, The Flow Mojo Show at Vibrance TV (go to "on demand" and scroll down to The Flow Mojo Show. We talked with Mario Gonzalez last night. He's the attorney representing the Crow Creek Sioux tribe against the IRS confiscation of their land. The tribe's phone number is 605-235-2221. Mario believes they've set up an account to fight Uncle Sam. Call them for info if you'd like to donate. If you think the country's atrocious record with the Native Americans doesn't affect you, then you might want to realize that they're the canary in the coal mine. What's done to them first will be done to you later. Bet on it. Why does the IRS need shotguns? Here's the Request for Quotation. It doesn't answer that question but it will tell you what they're buying. I often say, don't pay your taxes, they'll come at your with the point of a gun. Now you'll know more about the gun in question. It's bad enough we have to pay taxes, it's worse when we find out how they're spent. Over a hundred grand on Nancy Pelosi's inflight booze? Good news: James Arthur Ray is being held accountable for the deaths that resulted from his sweat lodge ceremony last year. Hopefully a jury will understand that someone holding themselves up as a leader, if not a guru, has a heightened level of responsibility to his students, if not followers, who paid over $9,000 each for this life changing event. He delivered on that promise but not in any way that participants should have expected. You've heard all about the Toyota recall. The car manufacturer blames it on sticky gas pedals. Not so fast (no pun intended). According to some in the know, the drive by wire (electronic sensor) system may be the culprit. Either way, now Toyota has another recall on it's hands: The brakes on the Prius. AIG bonuses in the news again. Problem is, the contracts are valid. We may not want the execs to be paid, but do you want the government to intervene on what you'll be paid? Think you won't be next? Here's a guy arrested on a train. He did absolutely nothing wrong, so they had to let him go. He mused he might take the bus next time, but he might want to rethink that after what happened to Greyhound riders in Memphis. Now this is outrageous. You'll want to try Flowdreaming. I just know it. WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 3, 2010 2:00 AM (PT) More bad news for climate change enthusiasts. First it was the 1000+ emails highlighting the changes in the data to make the point for global warming. Now it's the source of some of that data-- anecdotal tales from mountain climbers, articles in Climbing magazine and a geography student's master's dissertation. If this isn't the last nail in the coffin, nothing will be but then again this isn't about scientific inquiry it's a bout philosophical belief. Why is Senator Kirk still voting on legislation? Why haven't the republicans protested this violation of rules and tradition? Why is Harry Reid going back on his pledge not to call for major votes until Scott Brown is seated? Yes, those are rhetorical questions. Obama has created jobs. Unfortunately you're paying for them. The federal payroll hits a record 2.15 million this year. That doesn't count postal employees. Figures like that will have a lot of voters wanting to rein in such spending. But the Service Employees International Union has a fix. Legalize 8 million new voters and the progressive fix is in. They brag about it. They better act fast. It doesn't look good for democrats in the fall. Blanche Lincoln would lose if the election were today. And Obama's seat in Illinois is anything but guaranteed. Massive layoffs coming to New York City, California, Arizona, well.. everywhere. But Colorado Springs is particularly vexing. It almost sounds like they wanted to penalize voters who overwhelmingly defeated a 300% hike in property taxes. Among other things, they don't plan to pave the streets. It would be different if they had a government grant-- like Cleveland which will be spending $792,000 to install light switches in the police building. Meanwhile the private sector continues to tank. Unemployment rising. If you're trying to watch what you spend, you might want to give up texting. Did you realize that companies that provide your texting ability charge you a 6,500% markup. Yes that's sixty thousand five hundred percent. Folks fearing on the job urine tests have been known to patronize companies with products that claim to make their indiscretions invisible. The US Attorney's office in Pittsburgh has been known to be staffed by the politically ambitious. Tommy Chong found that out for very specious reasons, but in this case there is little sympathy for the maker of "Your In The Clear" (their bad grammar, not mine). He's pleading guilty. Why am I telling you this, beyond the disquieting feeling that comes when you realize that selling anything online opens you up to everyone's jurisdiction? Because they'll go after the buyers next. Conspiracy of the day? HAARP created the Haiti earthquake. Do I believe that? No. Do I believe that it's possible to do something like this? The US Secretary of defense admitted it in 1997. TUESDAY FEBRUARY 2, 2010 2:45 AM (PT) A rather abbreviated show last night thanks to my inadvertently pouring ginger ale into the audio board. It's dry now and amazingly working. Mostly. Well enough to do the show tonight anyway. But last night, we did get an hour in before I started decimating equipment. Good to see a poll reflecting what I've been sayin'-- Americans liked Obama's speech, but they didn't believe a word of it. If you're not among the doubters, let me punctuate his assurance that lobbying efforts would be minimized, with word of 12 democratic senators spending a lavish weekend with bank, energy and tobacco lobbyists. Can you say hypocritical? The very industries and practices democratic lawmakers decry not only sponsored the weekend, but were also hit up by those same lawmakers for campaign contributions. Unemployment? Never mind the 10% figure. Look at Underemployment. Now we're talking over 20%. Arthur Laffer thinks the economy will collapse in 2011. If you're saying 'Who is Arthur Laffer?,' then you haven't seen the Laffer Curve. It's an amazing graphic that displays the relationship between the rate of taxation and the level of compliance. (Looking at it world wide and historically, sometimes lower taxes produce more revenue because people pay them, as opposed to high taxes which people dodge.) So you've heard that those invasive full body scanners at airports will be used on a totally voluntary basis? Forget about it. Say no in Great Britian, you won't fly. And just who is looking at those graphic images? This TSA worker who is currently behind bars for soliciting at 13 year old. His website has it all "BDSM Master" "and trainer". I don't even want to think about that "training" part. Ready for more indoctrination? A priest in Poland has installed an electronic fingerprint reader to see when kids attend mass. Here's the worst part. The kids like it.
