See ... this is why i never believe you.

Whats with the trademark? Has the word "justice" been trademarked? the concept?



(Reuters) - An internal NBC News probe has determined a "seasoned" producer was to blame for a misleading clip of a 911 call that the network broadcast during its coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting, according to two sources at the network.
"Reporting" a close approximation of the facts isn't enough. They must "form" public opinion.
I know how the average Russkie felt at the height of the Old Soviet Empire. The only reason I tune in anymore is to catch the latest lies and propaganda.

Kunstlercast

Author and blogger James Kunstler has a blog named Clusterfuck Nation.
Been reading it for awhile.. With a name like that it was irresistible. It's usually an insightful page on the current  zeitgeist, with an eye towards peak oil, urban sprawl, and sustainability.
Here's a sample;

Gird Your Loins for Lower Living Standards
There's a lot to be nervous about, even if you don't subscribe to the undercooked Mayan apocalypse lore moving through the gut of the Internet like a Staphylococcus-infected tamale. The casual observer might say that nothing seemed to give on the world scene in 2011 despite the Fukushima meltdown, the Arab Spring uproars, the train wreck of European finance, the disappearing act at MF Global, and the assorted injuries done to the Kardashian brand by the giant walking dildo Kris Humphries.
While generally istumbling around his site, I saw that he's got a neat-o archive of podcasts.
Give 'em a listen.

As a side note ... the banner artwork is awesome.
