Linky Dinks

"But if one redefines an accident to include incidents that either resulted in the loss of human life or more than $50,000 in property damage... at least 99 nuclear accidents meeting this definition, totaling more than $20.5 billion in damages, occurred worldwide from 1952 to 2009 – or more than one incident and $330 million in damage every year, on average, for the past three decades."

Ich bin ein example: What we can learn from Germany about jobs

"Which shall rule – wealth or man? Which shall lead – money or intellect? Who shall fill public stations – educated and patriotic free men, or the feudal serfs of corporate wealth?"

If you read through this you'll either understand how other people can be so wrong or you'll realize everything you believe is based on lies... or not.

Sara Vowell's extended Daily Show interview. She calls Americans "anesthetized amnesiacs."

GOP's answer: Kill the messenger.

Corporate coup d’etat must be undone

Well, it looks like the teabaggers really are taking the country back... to the 1820's.

Tell GE to pay taxes, dammit.

Recent testimony to a House subcommittee confirmed the "Stop Taxpayer Funded Abortions Act" would force the IRS to audit how women paid for an abortion.

This This American Life program points out how fucked up our justice system is in this country. Though this may seem unusual, there are home cooking elected judges across this country that abuse their power like this.

Modus Operandi Podcast episode 53

The Drunkest Episode EVER!!!

episode 53 3/13/2011

Yes, it's also the shortest episode ever.  Our entire discussion of the disaster in Japan was lost due to what I'm pretty sure could be categorized as drunkenness.

Show Notes:

This week the show starts off with Alan going over the links from the last couple of weeks and then he is joined after the first break by Dave calling in from Colorado where he arrived after traipsing around Vancouver and other places while blowing off last week's recording time.   I guess he thinks he's better than everybody else now that he's the MOpod International Correspod-ent.  Clever, eh?

Linky Dinks

"Six months into Obama's term, most Americans told pollsters they preferred socialism to capitalism. In early 2010 one in five Republicans said they have a positive view of socialism." - Ted Rall

This is kind of like the U.S. Marines claiming the peace symbol is theirs.

"By the way, I have chosen Sarah Palin Person of the Year. And the year is 1641." - Andy Borowitz

What we need is more guns.

Ever wonder why wingnuts still doubt climate change? Thought it might just be the "mainstream media's" tendency to put one legitimate scientist up against a doubter as if that was an even match (It should be nine and a half scientists and one doubter)? Yeah, that's part of it, but this is probably much more a cause.

Top 5 problems with the tax deal: 1. The deal is a stealth attack on Social Security. 2. For nearly one in three workers, it's a tax increase. 3. The deal has not one but TWO millionaire bailouts. 4. Unemployment help is insufficient and inadequate. 5. Tax giveaways to the rich are a terrible way to create jobs.

Atheists don't commit as much crime as the religious.  Only the religious are surprised.

Show notes:

We crank along for about 41 minutes bouncing smoothly from subject to subject, most of which is on the blog, but some new personal stories and philosophical musings until we start talking about the TSA.  I have new information as to who is blowing whom when it comes to these full body scanners and it makes it all the more obvious that Obama is just a continuation of the Bush/Cheney clusterfuck: 
Former Department of Homeland Security Head (and utter goddamned failure) Michael Chertoff is the lead lobbyist for the company that makes the machines that are suddenly required everywhere.  AND  Former chief security officer of the Israel Airport Authority Rafi Sela says, "I don't know why everybody is running to buy these expensive and useless machines. I can overcome the body scanners with enough explosives to bring down a Boeing 747."

And as long as we're on TSA stupidity:


Jim Morrison indecent exposure pardon? 

We end with sports and I think Dave calls college sports Aryan Idealism or something that might cause us to apologize to the Anti-Defamation League or somebody.  Jeez, dude.

Special Ogre-fest theme way at the very end for you dedicated listeners.
