Those April showers bring May flowers....but, hey, this story is from February 2018. How did we miss this? My dreams have come true--unless HRC runs again (which I fervently wish her to do). So many stories, so little time...yet this story requires serious concern (cough, wheeze).
Remember how British Prime Minister May and almost all of the British government save Jeremy Corbyn stated categorically that Russia poisoned former spy Skripal? Well, it turns out there's no scientific proof behind the claim.
There was a time in the not so distant past when a military was judged by its ability to win wars and defeat enemies. In fact, all throughout history, until very recently, that was the only measure of a military.
During most of history, a general who lost the war then had his head removed from his shoulders.
Despite Mattis, Kelly, and now Bolton, DJT is starting to sound a little like a peacenik (note, I said "a little like").
Here is the brief announcement from a press conference. Make of this what you will. I expect answers ranging from BullShit to 9th dimensional chess. Okay, Swampers, let's have at it.
No, you read the title correctly. Saudi Arabia and the UAE were richly praised for their generous gift to the starving people of Yemen.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's (D-Fla.) primary opponent, Tim Canova, dropped out of the Democratic primary in order to run as an independent. The reason why he says he did this is interesting.
I received this petition request in my mailbox (on my secret server) from SumOfUs.org lamenting the enormous data breach earlier this year from Facebook's vaults (and indeed they are vaults, so transformed by Zuck. with all that salable information). This is not the biggest breach, consider the Equifax hack; but it's certainly near the top of the list. Bank of America was hacked. What large corp. hasn't been hacked.
As you sip that first or second cup of French press java ... you might catch yourself scratching your head and wondering out loud, "exactly what is community radio and why in the world should I care?"
Let's talk about that today ... along with a look back to the days before corporate radio. I'll share my listening history with you and encourage you to share your own radio memories. It should be a fun ride.
Please do come along!
