He's consistent. He's consistently lame.

I measure some actual value in seeing who supported GHWB and why. Sadly we're only going to get a "what other choice was there" rendition on the latter, as opposed to some honest discussion of why globalism is bad for us all.

Aw! Someone has hurt feelings. 

Nope, just telling it as it is.

QuoteI also said it was a mistake, just like voting for any Bush, McCain or Romney would’ve been. Don’t make me have to school y’all on this...yet again! The irony is much richer for those who did vote for them and are still cool with that. :

It's proof positive that purity tests will always fail. The Hobson's choice of every election insures that each polarity gets its time to crow and also to eat crow.

Fascinatingly feudal system our elites ginned up, innit?

Quote from: WOTR on January 06, 2019, 09:08:27 PM
Interesting argument.  But then it would seem that those on the left would be correct to argue that increasing the minimum wage several dollars and hour would benefit the economy and the worker as well.

That's why Bezos cynically raised warehouse wages at Amazon to goad real bricks and mortar merchants into increasing their own labor costs...all the while he robotizes and laughs to the bank as his costs drop off.

Quote*I should add that I know what you were trying to say... Just that the words to the argument are probably ill chosen. I dislike our "temporary worker" program that brings down wages and benefits only the companies.  Yet increasing minimum wage was not the answer either...

It's a great way to bake some actual inflation into the economy - the kind that will get passed along to all and that will in due time cripple small business.

He said that it created a conflict, because they had set out to provide a show with more content, less adds, and the stations had these 6 min news breaks at the top of the hour, which left them with the problem of time for their own adds.

I hope I explained that right.

You've done a great job, thanks for filling in the gaps when I was snoozing.

Still wish we had a full vocaroo of this up.

Obvious Mockingbird scripted drama is obvious.

With Karen Jackson instructed to fabricate the tale of the stalker at her station too? Seriously? What was in it for her?

Quote from: Spookcat on January 07, 2019, 03:47:46 AM
I might be wrong, but I get an opinion that Keith is trying to get it all out now (to a certain depth) so that he and his network can move on. He's said he doesn't want to be doing this forever and is training a few people to do his job.

I think Keef and Bart are shamelessly trying to destroy Heather and her show, be it through threats of bumper music royalties interdictions or the psy-op that Ellgab has become. How would you feel if a forum was dedicated to parsing the intimate details of your life on a weekly basis even to the ludicrous extent of interviewing your former co-worker/boyfriend?

Don't think for a moment that Little Sean's post-death doxing of Heather and subsequent SWATing of her isn't something that the two of them have endorsed tacitly from a convenient distance. It's all part of the program to break her down mentally and emotionally and destroy the KON. It's sick and twisted stuff, period.

QuoteI like Keith. I know a lot of Bellgabbers don't, and you all have been in the paranormal radio a lot longer than I have, so you've experienced a whole lot more. I think he tried to make Art happy and did his best when he was working with Heather, even though they were losing subscribers. When Art died, he did his best with subscribers to try to figure out what to do. I thought he was professional and he didn't complain about how he was feeling after Arts death. He kept it behind closed mic while he tried to debate whether there was going to be a mitd after Art.

I think that this is a largely accurate retelling, and certainly Keef inherited a wholly unstable and unreliable "legacy" in Heather. That she similarly left Vara and LNM in the lurch speaks volumes as to her unsuitability to be a five nightly program host.

So yes, Keef maintained silence perhaps in the expectation that Heather would flame out and it'd all be over. Now she hasn't and the psyop has ratcheted up. His trashing of Art in the aftershow was inexcusable and frankly did nothing to ameliorate the obsessive campaign of character assassination we're seeing now. Has Heather poured gas on that fire? Yes, and a lot. Is she of right mind? Perhaps not. But in all of this who is the adult? The guy with a digital network to run and a new uber-reliable host? Strangely not.

Consider...what possible threat, competition to, or credible market force in the paranormal podverse is Heather Wade?

Are advertising revenues so precious that Keef and Dave can't survive without stealing Heather's sponsors?

Why is Art still a factor in anything lo these many months later?

You can hang the answer to that question straight on Ellgab, Keef and Bart - 100%. Minus their regular scab-picking the wound would close and heal in short order. And that's the trVth of it.

There is no reason I can't pick on George for his unwitting, relentless misogyny in the form of lauding extremely thin brunettes.  115lbs is underweight for a lot of women, yet he lauded one without even knowing how tall she was.  Many of the ones he has lauded are adulteresses, at least one with children so that makes her a family wrecker. This man is a grandpa and his granddaughters could be listening, and he extols bad values about women.

"Bad values"? 

Are you completely round the bend?

Being slim is not a "bad value"...sheesh...

QuoteAnd tonight, another bar story.   'I met a man in a bar...'   There are so many other ways he could introduce this story. The man could be a bridge player, a latte sipper, a relative, a teammate, etc.   But no, it is always about alcohol. He should know resveratrol can be obtained from grapes, yet the other night he extolled the virtues of alcohol to Doc Wallac.  Many people can't have alcohol but might need resveratrol, among them children, diabetics, on-call pilots, on-call fire fighters, Mormons, recovering alcoholics, teetotalers, inmates, individuals living in nursing homes, patients in hospitals, nurses working long shifts in rehab units, utility workers working 72-hour shifts in storms, and so on. But they can get the nutrient from grapes.  If George doesn't care to be considerate on behalf of little old me, he could at least think of the above groups.

So this is a Gilbert Grape rant?

Seriously 14, you are off the rails here.

Ah Rachel...proof that brainwashing begins at home...

Thanks!

All of the music was recorded in my home studio, including the theme song.

Wow, the production values are superb.

Have you ever listened to or looked at Magnatune?

I ask because I swear I heard some really similar music on one of their podcasts. They feature some very off the norm artists.

Kewl video, tnx.

I still got some Braniff playing cards. Great stuff. Have simple English, Spanish and Portuguese phrases on them in case your travels would take you . Stuff like how to order a drink, find a bathroom, buy film, buy flashbulbs, etc.

Now how cool is that. I still regret every set of stewardess dispensed wings I ever let my mother toss out.

I know - irony meter time for someone who voted Obozo... :

I'm listening and I'm liking this dude's music a lot, very retro vibe, simply luminous guitar fills underneath - textural.

I also dig your intro with the fishing line going in the pond - trick!

Sounds like Art wasn't happy with the size of the audience from the get go.   I could be wrong.

That was what I got, he had his doubts on streaming.

Stop being such a drama queen.  The walls of Constantinople went unbreached for over 1,000 years and even then it took a long siege by the Ottomans to get it done.  That said, Trump's wall is not intended to withstand a military assault--just to curtail illegal entry drug smuggling.  It will be money well spent.

Better spent than the billions we tribute Israel and Afghanistan with year after year...

Quote from: ACE of CLUBS on January 06, 2019, 05:32:54 PM
Simple fact: The Mexicans crossing to work in the U.S. have a 'work ethic' . . . work hard at menial jobs for lesser wages, then go home.

Yes, their "work ethic" was a hand me down from centuries of Spanish oppression, some cultural bennie that is!

And who doesn't want a nation with menial jobs for lesser wages - mmmm hmmm!

QuoteDo the Bubbas have a work ethic . . . . or any kind of ethic ?  Do any of them know what work means, or how to spell it ?

Really?! Did the Southern econmy crash when there wasn’t as many illegals?! I bet not. I bet the economy was actually better then because all the illegals do is bring down wages for everyone. 

It's what has cored actual Americans out of the construction industry ftmp.

https://cis.org/Report/Are-There-Really-Jobs-Americans-Wont-Do
Findings
Of the 472 civilian occupations, only six are majority immigrant (legal and illegal). These six occupations account for 1 percent of the total U.S. workforce. Moreover, native-born Americans still comprise 46 percent of workers even in these occupations.
Many jobs often thought to be overwhelmingly immigrant (legal and illegal) are in fact majority native-born:
Maids and housekeepers: 51 percent native-born
Taxi drivers and chauffeurs: 58 percent native-born
Butchers and meat processors: 63 percent native-born
Grounds maintenance workers: 64 percent native-born
Construction laborers: 66 percent native-born
Porters, bellhops, and concierges: 72 percent native-born
Janitors: 73 percent native-born
There are 67 occupations in which 25 percent or more of workers are immigrants (legal and illegal). In these high-immigrant occupations, there are still 16.5 million natives â€" accounting for one out of eight natives in the labor force.
High-immigrant occupations (25 percent or more immigrant) are primarily, but not exclusively, lower-wage jobs that require relatively little formal education.
In high-immigrant occupations, 59 percent of the natives have no education beyond high school, compared to 31 percent of the rest of the labor force.

https://slate.com/business/2017/03/construction-execs-are-missing-the-obvious-explanation-for-their-labor-shortage.html

When regional labor markets are tight, you have to send the price signal to potential workers that it will be worth their while to leave their current home or position in order to applyâ€"that the job will pay well, that it will carry benefits, that if you get hurt or sick you’ll have good insurance, that there might be job security and prospects for training and development. That price might be closer to $100,000 than it is to $50,000. But that’s where we are in the economic cycle. And if builders prefer not to pay up to attract workers and are reluctant to try to charge more for their end products, they’ll muddle through at low volumes. That, alas, is also where we are.

I pity them, but don't look down on them.  The world just isn't built for something out of the ordinary.

So you must have dropped a word in your preceeding post?

QuoteI pity those born to an abnormal lifestyle, but look down on them as well.

I agree the world is brutal to anyone on the far skews of the standard normal distribution.

Historians everywhere are weeping.

Seriously, you should hear the part where Eberhardt is praising the way Art knew how to treat people right (he's a sales guy, remember; contradiction is no vice) and Keef jumps in with "well, not everybody..."

Classless.

Sure hope a vocaroo of this turns up somewhere...

Quote from: K_Dubb on January 06, 2019, 01:57:10 PM
I thought it was great.  Given Eberhardt's earlier declaration that "the gloves are off", I was only sorry Keef muzzled him by setting forth the party line up front and daring him to challenge it.  It could have been a glorious immolation, self- or otherwise.

Art lived his life as a great man very much at home in the West, living by wits alone and unconcerned with social mores.  It's a character from our past we've largely forgotten.  I don't think his reputation is tarnished in the least by all the post-mortem yapping.

It's not Art's reputation I'm haarping on  but the damage Keef does to his own by trashing him after his demise.

Who are Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers (MSFWs)?
Seasonal Farmworkers means an individual who is employed, or was employed in the past 12 months, in farmwork of a seasonal or other temporary nature and is not required to be absent overnight from his/her permanent place of residence. Non-migrant individuals who are full-time students are excluded. Labor is performed on a seasonal basis where, ordinarily, the employment pertains to or is of the kind exclusively performed at certain seasons or periods of the year and which, from its nature, may not be continuous or carried on throughout the year. A worker who moves from one seasonal activity to another, while employed in farmwork, is employed on a seasonal basis even though he/she may continue to be employed during a major portion of the year. A worker is employed on other temporary basis where he/she is employed for a limited time only or his/her performance is contemplated for a particular piece of work, usually of short duration. Generally, employment which is contemplated to continue indefinitely is not temporary.
Migrant Farmworkers means a seasonal farmworker who travels to the job site so that the farmworker is not reasonably able to return to his/her permanent residence within the same day. Full-time students traveling in organized groups rather than with their families are excluded.

QuoteConsider the $26 billion as the trade-off for the entitled Bubba's sitting at home collecting welfare . . . because the labour intensive jobs that the Mexicans do, are so far beneath the Bubba's dream of employment.

You have heard of mechanization, yes?






They're expendable.
