George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

Started by MV/Liberace!, April 06, 2008, 01:23:02 AM

Can Noory pronounce anything correctly?

No
No

Bible study again tonight, pastor will first name all the problems then sell you the cure. Just think "Carnivora".

The people who would be working those jobs are entry level workers - students, part timers, immigrants, and folks who would rather party and simply lack motivation.  Minimum wage jobs aren't meant to be careers.

It's not that difficult to get a staff level job at some company and do well, it really isn't.  I don't understand why Corporate America is supposed to support those who don't wish to or truly can't.  I'm not sure why the taxpayers should either.

You certainly seem to know it all. I've been working for corporate America four decades but do tell us again how easy it is for just anyone to land that entry level job. I conduct the interviews, we have a very specific criteria. Your low-level worker just busted his ass on your behalf for eight hours and you don't want to pay him. You needn't bother ever walking into our personnel department.

Only wacky C2C guests and callers can link banking reform with the "kundalini energies," aliens "possibly," Monsanto, "hive behavior" due to the internet, and a conspiracy against weed by Bayer "Aspirin."  (ps: Bayer makes FAR more than aspirin and, as caller mentioned, is trying to buy Monsanto.) And so on...

Poor Ellen Brown seemed to be in her dotage but, for once, Norry, actually was kind to a women on the air and steered her back on the path several times. Contrary to many C2C guests she has a legitimate background, education, and some interesting ideas. Unfortunately she was not on her game last night and the callers were the typical alarmists/newagers which made her even sound worse. I don't agree with much of her stuff but she has some interesting ideas- that weren't presented that well last night. But it was late, even for a Californian.

Damn, I tried this stuff on my lawn a couple weeks ago.



It killed every possible weed in sight and really turned my lawn green.  It may give me cancer and kill damn knows how many bees and fish but the stuff is supposed to even kill crabgrass!  Life is good.  ;)

Yeeewww be the judge.


Waiting on the Pest Guy today I saw that "Dawn of the Dead" remake was on. Watched a bit and forgot that it should be Norry's movie. A very "mean baby," little kids getting killed and becoming "mean" and etc.

Ha!  "Dawn of the Dead," oh, yeah, that's the one in the mall.  Other than the original "Night of the Living Dead,"  I'd rank "The Return of the Living Dead" close to the top of the genre, mainly because of the macabre, humorous portions.  Zombie movies, though, I'm a sucker for the 80's "Night of the Comet."  I mean, come on, what's better than MAC-10 toting cheerleaders.  OK, Uzi toting cheerleaders.  SV has to be pissing his pants.

Only a Brit wouldn't like a UZI-toting cheerleader but, frankly, Catherine Mary Stewart, a gal who likes to play Tempest and then will have sex in a gritty projection booth floor was just as alluring. But no "mean babies" and the S-E-X thing means Norry wouldn't like the movie.

Mick Jagger sang:

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me.

"You and me" meaning him and someone else. I'd call that a confession. Why has he never been questioned?!
I heard he was acting, speaking from the POV of the Devil.

I'm sorry everything didn't work out the way you wanted it to.  I understand that things changed for a lot of people following the 2008 meltdown.

Normally a sharp drop in the economy like we had is followed by a sharp bounce back (assets become cheap and there is a readily available pool of employees available) - surely within a year or two - but this time it didn't happen.  Interesting you assign no blame to a president who routinely attacked the producers and those who provide jobs for eight years, and not coincidentally presided over a stagnate economy. 

As soon as he was replaced by someone projecting confidence in capitalism and the private sector, and confidence in the economy was restored, we finally get the job growth we expected eight years ago.

Yet you are unable to make these connections.


As far as the airlines, are you really suggesting they are terrible organizations because they provide a service people want, and should provide that service without making any money?  The way you posed that comment reveals much.  If you truly feel oppressive Socialism is the answer to how the economy and government should be set up then there's really no use in further discussion - that argument is over, yet we continue to see it on display, most recently in Venezuela.
Well I appreciate your sympathy. I'm not a Socialist.  There are Socialists in my community and once in a while I vote person, not party.  But usually I go Democrat.  I don't want a one party system!

The reason I don't connect Obama to the 2008 recession is because my opinion is that he had just been elected. After Republican President Bush.  So he walked into what was set.

Well anyhow.  If everyone agreed on everything, balance would be lost!  And ya can't please everyone.  Some people (not yes), we really don't want to please!  Because of their value systems.

As far as airlines, PB, I'm just bitter. 

So many families are split up all over the country, moving for jobs.  It has gone on so long.  Grandparents not getting to watch grandkids grow up in person.  Hearing of husbands being out of town for long time periods.  Thinking of Chinese workers separated from their families indefinitely, and hearing that it is starting here, too.  Isnt it bad enough both parents are employed FT, but now we don't even get to stay near our progeny?  For life?  Airfare and postage are so very expensive and always have been.  And gifts. Maybe gifting from Amazon isnt so bad.  But parcel rates are higher than the cost of the parcel itself, which really defeats the purpose.  I've started to do it, but it feels unethical.  While on the other hand, gift cards feel impersonal.  I really like to put a personal touch on gifts, and it is just outpricing me!

Last year I tried to get around this by ordering a special piece of pottery in the birthday girl's neighborhood far away.  It was something she had admired when visiting my landlady out here.  The artist lives here, but also retails at a store out there.  Anyhow, the retailer down there agreed to ask the same artist to fashion one the way she does here (which my relative admired)...  In the end, though, when my relative went to pick it up, it was just one of the styles that store carries all the time!  They completely misled me at some point. I can't fault them now, as they sent me a preview which I agreed to.  Because we had waited so long, and other relatives had gone in on the purchase together... So it was time for results.  So I accepted it.  We already put 30% down, and I didn't want to balk.  The other relatives wouldn't know the style different anyhow.  The recipient loved it, so that was good.  But, putting a personal touch on anything I don't pack myself is really hard and did not work out that time.

You know if you contact a florist in the recipient's area, you can avoid some delivery fees.  Most florists will just charge an ordinary driver fee, without charging FTD fees, etc...  Especially if you act like you are calling from the recipient's area.

The airport is so loud, the plane lights so startlingly abrupt and and flashing every which way into the home when planes fly over, the air so filthy, and the windowpanes "experts" installed in every home for miles around are too heavy for most people to open.  Surprised the fire dept hasnt said anything. 

All the good jobs are at the airport, but there is no shade on the hike or shuttle out to staff parking so anyone who cant be in 90 full sun for 20 minutes cant work there.  The air in the whole area ranks high among the States for pollution.  Kerosene smell, headaches, burning eyes, and constant deisel exhaust.  Even the soil is contaminated. You can walk in your backyard where there is no road, no nearby power equipment or trucks... And whifs of deisel exhaust are trapped in the air in little pockets of yard space were it stagnates.  I dont mean cloistered pockets like inbetween building; i mean air pockets right outside your backdoor on a quarter acre.  And acid rain.  When the airport knows rain is expected, it seems like they purposefully dump extra pollution because they know they won't get caught after the rain blows it out.  So after it rains, we never get negative ions, that fresh smell.  Maybe twice in five years.

I came here for a job, having grown up in this general area and having never heard a bad word about any airport stink.  Well, I should have read the air quality reports before settling on a bedroom community.  But I've lived nearby all my life and had never heard a bad word!  Until after being here, and finding out many people are upset.  But the word doesn't seem to spread outside the locals.

Of course Obama didn't create the 2008 meltdown.  Neither did George W Bush.  By simply sitting in the Oval Office, presidents get way too much credit and way too much blame for how the economy performs. 

Having said that, what the president and the government can do is create impediments to the economy in a variety of ways, or tear them down.  Instead of simply giving credit or blame to whoever is in office at the time, ask what specific actions they took that led to the outcome in question.  (For example, what did Bill Clinton do specifically to balance the budget?)

Barack Obama's administration was very anti-business.  As with foreign policy, his actions and inactions on economic policy were far too often the opposite of what was needed.  His world view was simply wrong - his policies, commentary, appointments, etc, exacerbated the problem.

Part of what a candidate says or implies during the campaign is he or she is competent to determine and implement the right policies to handle issues as they arise - regardless of whose fault it is or that they didn't create the problem.  On the economy (and seemingly everything else), Obama didn't do that - just the opposite. 

oh jeeze it's blowhard Craig Hulett repeating the same shit he's repeated every other appearance he's made on Coast - government is corrupt, corporatism, it's all one big conspiracy, military industrial complex, Blackwater, democracy is dead, Jim Garrison, Bush Junior, Obama, Trump blah blah blah

LOL a caller had the balls to ask him 'What do you actually do? What's your job?' Caught Hulett off guard a bit, he's over 70 by the sound of his voice and he served in Viet Nam so yeah he's had a long life, the best he could come up with for the past 50 years of his life work wise is for 6 years he did research for a little known Washington state congressman and for the past 40 years he's been a 'consultant' for corporations and individuals via his newsletter.

Let's say he does do his little research and has a weekly newsletter he sends to his clients - of what use would it be to anybody?

'Dear Larry,

Our political system is broken, it has been for the past 70 years, it's filled with corrupt politicians paid off by the corporate elites. By the way, President Kennedy was indeed murdered by the CIA and the Cosa Nostra, endorsed by every politician that mattered in Washington, D.C..

Sincerely,

Craig'

lol what do you as a corporation or wealthy individual do with that information? It's Hulett's entire premise that corporations and the wealthy are evil yet apparently they subscribe to his newsletter which calls them a scourge on the civilized world.

To Jojo and other interested members.  Let's take the political talk over to the politics threads and leave this thread to detail how much George Noory sucks.  I ask you Jojo because you don't seem to have a problem talking politics but have yet to visit for any length of time our political section.  I promise that I will be gentle with you.  I can't speak for the others though.

Please one last political comment, Norry is politically incorrect.

The "what do you actually do?" question could be asked of any number of the "experts" George trots out on C2C.  It's difficult for me to believe many of them can make a living doing whatever it is they do.
