CNBC's Jim Cramer being taken to task for his careless financial advice is the result of a larger problem with traditional media.

Mike Papantonio talks about how these financial pundits have bankrupted the economy, as well as the entire journalism profession.

With all of the depressing news that's been making headlines recently it's always nice to look at the lighter side of the news. From Glenn Beck's manic depressive actions on national television to former president Bush thinking that he actually possesses the mental capacity to write a whole book, there's a lot of funny things happening in our country. That's why Air America's Mike Papantonio talked with comedian Matthew Filipowicz [[HeadzUp.tv) about the most absurd news stories of the past week.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Mike Papantonio take the corporate-controlled traditional media to task this week, by doing the job that they are supposed to be doing and actually reporting the news that matters. This week's topics include Glenn Beck's manic depressive on-air breakdowns, the recent EPA findings on greenhouse gas emissions, and the new report on how much George W. Bush panicked during 9/11.
Green house gas emissions...CO2...which have no effect on climate or warming....doesn't matter how high the emissions are in that context. BTW, check out the output of a volcano....NO MORE VOLCANOS...slap fines on them and cap and trade them penalizing the country of origin.
Silly and absurd by design as an illustration of a profound principle.
Scientists can disagree all they want, it is the science itself that matters, not the heavily coerced opinions of the scientists recruited by the greens.

Extreme Infants! Rocket Fuel In Baby Formula!Quote:
Cross-posted at the Huffington Post.
As time passes, the full extent of the damage that the Bush Administration inflicted on the country and the world is becoming more and more clear. You may recall that last September, it was reported that George Bush's Environmental Protection Agency would not regulate the amount of rocket fuel in our nation's drinking water. As a result, sites in 35 states had dangerously high levels of the chemical perchlorate in their drinking water.
I actually wrote a post about it here, including a cartoon about a new "Extreme Bush Energy Drink" called Rocket Water. For those of you who haven't seen it, take a look.
Now you'd think, rocket fuel in your drinking water... that's pretty bad, right? But as I said earlier, the full extent of Bush's damage has not yet entirely come to light. I say this because, in case you haven't heard, in addition to rocket fuel in our drinking water, it has now been reported that there is rocket fuel in baby formula.
That's right. Baby formula.
So without further ado, please enjoy my sequel to Rocket Water... Rocket Formula!
Not to get all heavy handed here, because really, what's funnier than babies eating rocket fuel? But, if rocket fuel in baby food isn't enough to push through meaningful environmental legislation, what on earth is?
Sigh...any evidence of miniscule contaminants like this causing illness?

Robert Greenwald on Rethink Afghanistanwww.RethinkAfghanistan.comQuote:
It's no secret that the war in Iraq was based on lies from the Bush Administration and that this war has done nothing to solve the problem of global terrorism. In fact, according to the best available studies, this war has actually helped increase terrorist attacks across the globe. President Obama recently announced that he would be pulling troops out of Iraq and will be sending more troops into Afghanistan. This move is viewed as a positive step in combating global terrorism but is it the right move? Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks with filmmaker Robert Greenwald who says that Afghanistan is another war that America doesn't need and, more importantly, one that we probably won't be able to win.

One of the biggest criticisms over FDR's New Deal was that after things appeared to be righting themselves, he stopped the spending to reign in the deficit. This resulted in an economic relapse, forcing the country back to square one. Today, the GOP is ignoring history and encouraging Obama and his administration to stop spending because the economy is getting "better." Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire appears on Your World with Neil Cavuto to explain why stopping the spending now will only result in a bigger economic collapse.

Plonk? I was just pointing out that, absent the incessant clip and pastes from Godowntv, for which you apparently make a nice commission, you haven't really been an active participant Jimaz.
Once again, I receive no compensation for posting these GoLeft TV videos. I do enjoy them and enjoy sharing them with those who appreciate them here.
Keep up the good work with this thread, Jimaz, I appreciate your efforts in selecting interesting, informative, and mostly current events and relevant political information from the GoLeft TV site, and posting brief summaries with links to it here.
Ccbatson's truly weird obsession in posting replys with mainly insulting and dismissive analysis of the links' subject matter w/o ever clicking and reading them beforehand gives me a chuckle every time. Maybe he believes that he is doing some kind of "necessary" conservative public service for any newcomers and lurkers who browse topics here on DYes. Since he runs the board every day and mostly posts replys with one sentence, I doubt if he could ever gather information from a conservative website on a consistent basis, and maintain an ongoing thread with it, like you do with this one.
Flanders, thanks for your support. I enjoy your posts too.
It's no big deal.
If anyone's only mildly interested, I'd recommend viewing only "Ring of Fire's Weekly News" with RFK Jr. that appears over the weekend. He often offers exclusive insights that only a Kennedy could provide. It's very educational.
See, I woke you up Jimaz, you actually participate a bit now. Your welcome.
Is The Economy Saying "No" to Stimulus?Quote:
Yes, the economy is showing a few signs of progress, but not enough. And it certainly isn't enough to say that we've achieved our goal and we should immediately stop the stimulus spending.

Charles Darwin developed his theory of evolution based on some of the amazing adaptations and changes that he witnessed in the creatures of the Galapagos Islands. This theory has been criticized by politicians, religious zealots, and school boards across the country, but among the scientific community, there is little debate about evolution. As Mike Papantonio discusses, for the sake of mankind, let's hope that Darwin is correct and that mankind is continuing to evolve.
Glenn Beck Gets Ready To Tea BagQuote:
Cross-posted at Huffington Post.
Well, Americans, our day is almost here! As you know April 15th is National Tea Party Day! Or if you want to go by it's full title, it's Fox News Channel presents a Freedom Works Production based on the short rant of Rick Santelli of Tax Day Tea Parties starring Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity and the Fox News Dancers.
And of all the teabaggers, none is more hyped up and ready to be dipped than Mr. Glenn Beck. As you will see when you watch this video of his Tea Party preparations. Take a look.
As others have noted, Glenn is getting harder and harder to satirize. I mean really, is it that far off to imagine him dressing up in a tea bag? This is the same man who just in the last week has pretended to be President Obama dousing a man in gasoline. He had an actor pretend to be Thomas Paine to promote the Fox News teabagging. Hell, a man fainted on his set, and people thought it was just part of the act. You know, Glenn being Glenn. And this is just in the last week!
Oh, and he's going on a stand up comedy tour. I've seen his act, and it's pretty good. However, it is a bit of a Jeff Foxworthy "you might be a redneck" rip off. See, Glenn goes on stage and says things like...
"If you randomly burst into tears at highly inopportune moments, like a four year old who hasn't had his nap... you might be a Glenn Beck."
"If instead of canned goods, your fallout shelter is full of unsold copies of A Christmas Sweater... you might be a Glenn Beck."
"If you're constantly using words you don't know the meaning of... like socialist, communist, fascist, and populist... you might be a Glenn Beck."
Hey! I got an idea. Whoever writes the best "You might be a Glenn Beck" joke in the comments section below, I'll mail them a free Headzup t-shirt. No kidding. Get a commenting!
Also, feel free to follow me on Twitter if you're someone who does that sort of thing.
Total duration 15 minutes:The Truth About the BudgetQuote:
The GOP is up in arms over President Obama's $3.5 trillion dollar budget. Apparently they've forgotten that President Bush approved a $3 trillion dollar budget last year. The main criticism is that the increased deficit spending, which would only be about 9%, will push our country further into a recession. Again, history seems to contradict their claims. After all, Ronald Reagan operated with a 17% budget deficit, Bush Sr. worked with 11%, but Bill Clinton turned that around to less than 1% within 18 months of taking office, so these are issues that can quickly be turned around. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks with representative Allyson Schwartz about the truth behind Obama's budget.
Privatize those "government jobs" and then there will be no qualm for the pay. Why? because taxpayers fund those jobs and have a right to know what THEIR hard earned money is going for.

Increasingly we're hearing reports of soldiers returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan and committing acts of violence against their spouses, girlfriends, or other people close to them. While the VA has been slow to diagnose these mental problems as post traumatic stress, the symptoms are clearly visible from these "invisible wounds." Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks with author Ann Jones about these wounds, and what needs to be done to prevent the violence that's occurring all over our country.
Once again, liberals shift responsibility away from the individual. If someone commits a crime, like abusing a spouse, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE, no excuses.

Given the seriousness of these crimes, we the undersigned call for Attorney General Eric Holder to immediately appoint a special prosecutor to determine if criminal proceedings are warranted for Justice Department lawyers who legalized these crimes, and the high level executive branch officials who ordered them.Fill out the form to add your name to the petition.
