George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[PB the Deplorable]

J/k, be well, Coaster

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Believe it or not I have to apologize to George Noory. After all the fun I made too...embarrassing.
Things you never worry about happening to you until it actually happens #1. Burning the HELL out of your mouth.
I took a bite of a microwaved burrito. First bite was warm. Thought, ah this is pleasant. Tasted good, so I went in again. Second bite absolutely seared to the roof of my mouth. Lava hot beans just glued themselves in there. I couldn't even spit it out.  I think I literally have a crater on the roof of my mouth now. There is actual skin type crap hanging from the roof of my mouth dangling and sitting on my tongue. All I can say is damn, that sucks. Karma and hot beans. I'll probably have to go get this checked out too. It's pretty damn bad.
This shit happens. Microwaves are stupid. You'd think it would cook something evenly.

Punch a tiny hole in that kind of stuff with a fork before you warm it up.

...This shit happens. Microwaves are stupid. You'd think it would cook something evenly.

Having lived off mw food for years I've developed a plan which works well.  However, it requires patience. 

1) always overheat the food by a minute or two more than they suggest (this gets everything heated, even the center)
2) let it rest for about 5-10 mins (this allows the heat to dissipate evenly - be patient!)
3) cut into it with a fork - if massive amounts of steam are released, wait another 5 mins.
4) take small bites and chew well until proper non-volcanic temperature is confirmed

Hope this helps coaster and others in the future.

nice. thanks. I usually use the stove. I can make a roast that will win the crowd. WITH potatoes. hey hey.
But evidently, burning my mouth makes me a democrat? According to reckcuf in the trump thread? Confused..
The irony is you give me a stove I can make a dinner. I think retards use microwaves, thats why I am clueless. Whn you use an appliance once a month, you're bound to fuck it up.

You sure do a lot more with your acorn prep than the squirrels in my yard.

They don't let me bbq in the park anymore, so I had to go underground with my foodie preps.

I've forgotten his name, but the guy who all he talks about is how people need to get off psychological meds like anti-depressents / anti-anxiety / anti-pain  pills ... then follows that up by offering only trite conventinal wisdom about how to manage symptoms drug free.  I think he's an alarmist that is unlrealistic about the complexities of the issue of chronic illness maintenance.

You might mean Peter Breggin.  What bothers me is how Breggin's focus has changed since 35 yrs. ago when I 1st met him.  He was a student of Objectivism, and focused his criticism on psychiatry and was a critic of many kinds of psychotherapy (and promoter of his own ideas thereon) as well as drug rx.  But the main thing he was for was medical freedom.  He may still be for that, but you'd hardly know it any more.  He may never have thrown in his lot with narcotics prohibitionists, but you'd think he'd at least give a disclaimer now & then that he doesn't want to make the drugs he criticizes illegal or even limit their legal dispensing to those who are prescribed them by doctors.

[zeebo]

You might mean Peter Breggin....

Yes, correct, thanks.  He rubs me the wrong way.  He issues too many blanket statements about pharmaceuticals for my liking.

What about the little flappy thing?

Take care and I hope it heals soon.

Yes, Peter Breggin.  I forgot about him as well. I was going to list him. Oh well, I tried to limit my list to ten.

No worries, plenty of folks in your list I hate too.

How does idiot Dave not take time to ask Howard Bloom about Prince? Bloom was one-time his PR agent!

Forgot about Fraud B. Hulet.  Also one of the worst regular guests.  Fraud B. Hulet says nothing that wasn't written by the John Birch Society Member Gary Allen in "None Dare Call It Conspiracy."  (Except that Saudi Arabia  now replaces the Soviet Union.)

In the last page of None Dare Call It Conspiracy Gary Allen predicted that if Richard Nixon was reelected in 1972 that the Soviet Union in collaboration with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) would have taken over the United States by 1976.  I don't recall this being reported in the press, did this happen behind the scenes and we weren't told about it?

In regards to both John Curtis and Hulet on their assertion that all of the American people are sending a message regarding the unpopularity of the political class:

President Obama Job Approval    Gallup   Approve 52, Disapprove 45   Approve +7
President Obama Job Approval    Rasmussen Reports   Approve 50, Disapprove 49   Approve +1

North Korean President Kim Jong-Un on why he won't appear on Coast to Coast:  "I don't want to be associated with those crazies!"

Try to call in during open lines tonite and tell him...

Hulet has the Noory disease.  He just referred to wikileaks as wikaleaks.  Kind of fitting since he's a wika-basket base.

One of the callers mentioned the 2003 documentary movie 'The Corporation.'  He got the length of the film incorrect (it's 2:30 hours not 7:30 hours, although maybe it is that long with the added features.  I have it somewhere, but I can't find it right now.  It was originally a book, which I had for a while, but never read and recently gave away.)

Anyway, the person behind The Corporation is University of British Columbia Law Professor Joel Bakan.  The documentary starts off by having a series of corporate apologists say every time a company is in the news for bad behavior "it's just a few bad apples."  I believe after that the film that quickly lists several hundred companies that have gotten into legal trouble over the prior decade or so.  That then leads into the central thesis of the documentary as the film goes over the characteristics of a psychopath and then shows how corporations meet all those characteristics.  The main one of these is that publicly traded companies have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to maximize profits.   

If I recall the film correctly though, the twist comes after that.  They say something like "However, as much as corporations like to claim they are people, they are actually legal entities, and there is no inherent reason why they need to behave like psychopaths."   The film then introduces the hero of the film, the owner and CEO of, I believe, a privately held carpet manufacturing corporation, who says that his main goal as a CEO is to see his company become a zero carbon emitter.

I believe the film then explains how changing the legal requirements of publicly traded corporations could change their behavior. But, the most interesting part for me was that the film points out how firms choose to incorporate to receive a number of benefits:  limited liability being the main one, but it's also easier for corporations to raise money as, if they meet the requirements, they can either sell equity through the stock market or sell debt on the bond market, and it's also easier for corporations to enter into contracts than, say, partnerships.  However, along with these benefits come a number of responsibilities. The main one is the need to get and renew a business license.  While getting the license in the first place can be difficult, renewing a license is pretty much always pro forma.  However, the documentary then explained that some lawyer took the city he lived in to court for renewing a business license of a company who he said shouldn't have had it renewed (or should have had it revoked.)  While I believe the lawyer lost that case on the merits, the judge affirmed that the government that issues the license to the corporation is under no obligation to renew the license if that corporation fails to meet any of a number of conditions.

So, for instance, I would have really liked it if after the B.P oil spill, B.P would simply have not had its business license renewed (or had it revoked.)  At the stroke of a pen the company would no longer exist.

Or a Trump lover. That's the equivalent of being called 'mentally challenged.'

Uncommonly good open lines last night!
Vicki from MI had apparently never heard of the draft or wikipedia, as she did a Q&A with George on what it is and how it works

Phil from CA thinks Julie Louis Dreyfuss would make a good VP because she could "speak to New York", she has a show called VP and she's "one happening babe". Then he stepped it back, laughing and saying it would be "cute if (Trump) did". So basically he just wanted to call and let everyone know he fiddles the flute to Seinfeld reruns...

George took a moment to explain what hydroplaning was, and share his experience with shadow rodents.

Will from IN called in to give an update on this goddamn dog that's had it's foot shot off, which has become a staple of the show...He also posited that this generation would see Christ's return.
George "If he comes back, is it good or bad for us? I believe if I remember my schoolings in Catholic church, it's a good thing."
Will "Well sure, when he comes back he's gonna destroy the earth with fire."
George "Nice"
I dont even know where to start on that one

Derek from TX called, George described him as a "bow and arrow person" not an archer or a bowhunter, and George asked him some questions about shooting arrows in the air that seemed obvious to anyone who had ever tried to throw a rock or a football, paper ball etc..

And thats just the first hour...

You know actually I enjoy the show, I laugh at a lot of the guests and people and Noory. I think George is disingenuous and a corporate shill at times, but aren't almost all celebrities and public figures? From actors to talk show hosts to politicians, I think Ive heard enough recordings, seen enough backstage tape, read enough police reports to know how crappy a lot of these people are. I dont understand what makes him such a terrible person. But I've always enjoyed the site cause there's some funny people on here, and I enjoy many, not all, of the topics discussed on C2C, if only for a laugh sometimes. Wish Art was around still but I think George and the others do fine. Dont know why some of these people listen it seems to make them blow their tops. Not everyone can be as articulate as MV (man I love the Gabcasts and MV's Trainwreck). And Noory is nowhere near as off putting as Heather to me personally.  Anyway, my two cents that I've never offered, despite being a member for a few years. Now you guys can tell me how much I suck

On to hour two! Fingers crossed for Annie from Alabammy

Diowulf gets it!  Eh, MV.  Looks like you need to create another Turbo Mode account. 

All hail MV!  He is the light and my daily turkee sammich!
