1. Put down the espresso and step away.
I'm losing the message because of the caffeine overdose.

8. Hey, Max, see post #4. Can you provide a synopsis on future posts?
Is anyone doing transcripts of your show?

3. Another great episode, Max!
I, for one, enjoy your rants -- because even if they are a bit over-the-top sometimes, they help add some gallows humor to what can be a rather depressing topic.

5. Too lazy to get real jobs?
I think it's more like the people that control our jobs don't want to share in the profits.

6. "War is a Stimulus Plan In and of Itself"
"War is a stimulus plan in and of itself." Brilliant. By spending money we don't have to blow up other countries, we are going to stimulate our economy. When our dollar implodes because of our debt and becomes worthless, we will understand the folly of this type of thinking.

I was taken aback by how happy and cheerful those investors on CNBC look about the skyrocketing defense stocks after Obama's announcement. It reminds me of how there was a similar festive mood on Wall Street in the days and weeks following 9/11. you would think they were all celebrating New Year's or the 4th of July.

12. Our economic system is based on a sociopathic model
Edited on Sat Dec-05-09 11:55 PM by liberation
why are we even surprised when it acts like one?


Basing our whole existence on accumulating random green pieces of paper with arbitrary numbers? Is this the best our species could come up with? This is it? this is the f*cking best that we could come up with?

Look at any part of your body and think this: Some of the atoms that make that part of your body were made in some old star... half a universe away, and in that start your atoms where right next to atoms of other people and other beings somewhere else. And your atoms travelled through billions of years and then for some reason our atoms collapsed into our solar sister, and our sun got us all together in this planet, and then your atoms had to be all over the place and wait all through evolution through lord knows where and part of what or whom.... to be able to be part of an evolved being which is SELF F*CKING AWARE. And this poor atom, who has gone through all this... this poor fella is now part of this poor human which belongs to a b*tch ass species of dolts.

Meanwhile, the other atoms you were with at the beginning... they drifted and became part of the most awesome species out there, and they are having the most f*cking awesome of a time doing lord knows what. And that pisses me off. And you know what will be the kicker, that those other awesome creatures are having such an awesome time, that they f*cking mastered space and time travel. And when they come to visit... can you imagine how f*cking embarrassing is going to be to have to explain ourselves? It will be like one of those reunions in which you have to endure all the other successful rich people and you were a no good f*ck up miserable failure instead, and you have to swallow your pride when you have to answer them the "what have you been up to?" questions... Or those family reunions where you have to endure your f*cking mr. perfect super successful ultra hot sibling competition.

I need a drink...

11. I'm forced to watch this crap all day
They are that shameless all day long. I hope Comcast changes some things, or these hacks start thinking about their jobs! (Mimic Bloomberg News more).

17. A neo-conservative of the highest order
How do you tell a predator from a protector? The predator will eat you sooner rather than later.

A neo-conservative of the highest order Frederick Kagan
Kagan is an influential member of the Project for the New American Century.

It's a setup baby.

Support the President
Beyond the squabbling and behind the mission.
by Frederick W. Kagan and William Kristol

So we say: Support the troops. Support the mission. Support the president.
