ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Pittsburgh's G20 Summit protesters were met by an angry crowd of POLICE! As want of any authoritarian state, police used TEAR GAS on the "unruly" crowd. They even tried out their brand new "crowd control" SONIC WEAPON! Crooks and Liars explains at 60 Minutes: The Pentagon's Ray Gun. See these videos Tear gas/sonic used on G20 Pittsburgh protesters and Military uses Sonic Weapon and Tear Gas on Protestors at g20 Pittsburgh. And no teabaggers in sight! Were the protestors anarchists? Or CIA plants? We'll know in about five years or so when the real videos surface. Meanwhile, in the staid studios of Sunday Bobbleheads the WH HumVee Limo carries Bush-era holdover and former spook ROBERT GATES to This Snufagopolis and State of the King, dropping off HILARY CLINTON at Face the Bob on the way. Then BILL CLINTON tells Meet the David how it really is, followed by troglodytes LINDSAY GRAHAM and JON KYL, both excellent brick targets. Graham then grabs the tail of an elephant and makes his way on to Face the Bob because he loves the Clintons so much. DIFI gets the Dem Hall Pass to appear on Fake News Sunday (and everyday). Of course be sure to spend some time instead with our BTV Alerts for this week with RALPH NADER and MICHAEL MOORE plus interesting reports from Max Keiser, AntiWar Radio with Salon Blogger GLENN GREENWALD and Ring of Fire's interviews with MAX BLUMENTHAL and CHRIS SCHECTER on the sad state of the GOP plus David Swanson about how the Constitution has been almost completely ignored for the last 8 years. Then get on the BTV ActionAlert to help move the JUSTICE Act! With Sam Seder and Marc Maron not on the tubes of the internets anymore we now welcome left-coaster lefty PETER B. COLLINS to Brick TeeVee! Be sure to listen to Part Two with Dave Berman, author of the book Be The Media. Check out previous PBC shows on their podcast and drop some sofa coinage his way if you can! The Brick TeeVee crew took in their final Tribe home game played in near constant rain and won an autographed Kerry Wood jersey! Then Wood came in for the ninth inning, gave up two runs and blew the save! But in the bottom of the ninth Jhonny Peralta drove in Luis Valbuena for the game winner, sending the rain-soaked Grady-Sizemore-diving-catch-Bobblehead-clutching fans home happy! Best of luck to all the ex-Tribesmen going to the MLB Playoffs!

PASS JUSTICE ACT It's Time To Roll Back The So-Called Patriot Act! A group of Senate Democrats led by Russ Feingold (WI) and Dick Durbin (IL) have proposed S. 1686, the Judicious Use of Surveillance Tools in Counter-terrorism Efforts (JUSTICE) Act [text of bill], a bill that would introduce stronger safeguards and higher standards of judicial oversight for surveillance activity. It aims to reform the most abusive characteristics of the PATRIOT Act and would also roll back a controversial provision of the FISA Amendment Act that granted telecom companies retroactive immunity for their participation in the Bush administration's extralegal warrantless surveillance program. Senator Feingold says that the goal of the act is to ensure that surveillance and intelligence-gathering activities are properly empowered while guaranteeing that rights are respected and investigative privileges are not misused. The proposal is broadly endorsed by privacy advocates and civil liberties groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. But in order for it to pass, WE THE PEOPLE must speak out to demand it. The one click form below will send your personal message to all your government representatives selected below, with the subject "Pass the Justice Act." At the same time you can send your personal comments only as a letter to the editor of your nearest local daily newspaper if you like. CLICK HERE NOW!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

This Sunday the WH Limo tanks up for President Obama to make the rounds of the all major talkies! Of course there will be some dissenters in there, too, like MICHAEL "Cut Medicare" STEELE on Face the Bob, LINDSEY GRAHAM and NEWT "Contract ON America" GINGRICH on Meet the David and MITCH MCCONNELL on State of the King, all good brick targets I might add. Interestingly, Obama will not grace the set of FAKE NEWS SUNDAY, where ACORN chief executive BERTHA LEWIS will go it alone against the Angry White Men. The funniest exchanges this week will be the tag team of MATALIN & CARVILLE on State of the King and ROBERT REICH & ED GILLESPIE on the GEORGE WILL Roundtable. Of course there will be much ado about what Obama said or didn't say so they can ignore other stories like the DOJ investigating the CIA over "alleged" torture. See Glenn Greenwald at Salon CIA Directors conclude CIA shouldn't be investigated for murder: "In a truly shocking development being treated as major news, seven former CIA Directors -- including all three who served under George W. Bush -- jointly concluded that the CIA should not be criminally investigated for torture deaths, and they have written a letter to President Obama (.pdf) expressing that view." Greenwald adds an UPDATE! "In other breaking news, Erik Prince announces that he believes criminal prosecutions of Blackwater are unwarranted; Wall Street CEOs -- past and present -- conclude that an investigation of fraud and abuse among investment banks would serve no real purpose; Alberto Gonzales reveals his opposition to any proceedings against DOJ lawyers who acted in bad faith; police unions announce that the problem of brutality is overstated and there's no need for added oversight; medical doctors agree that malpractice lawsuits need to be limited; and a poll of felons currently in prison reveal that 99% of them believe that the country would have been better off if it had just let bygones be bygones and decided not to proceed with prosecutions in their particular case." As usual some of the real stories of the week are on the BTV Alerts below. Look for interviews with DANIEL ELLSBERG on Democracy Now and AntiWar Radio while Ring of Fire has THOMAS FRANK discussing the "deep end" of the Grand Old Party. The Brick TeeVee crew congratulates the Akron Aeros (CLE Indians Double A farmclub) for winning the 2009 Eastern League Championship, their third title since 2003! Go Aeros! Now if only SOME of these guys can make it to the parent club and help the beleaguered Tribe.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Ahead of Obama's speechifying this week to the full congress about health care much ado has been focused on the President's address to the nations students on C-Span and on-line. Pitt County schools won’t broadcast Obama’s speech, Backlash Growing Over Obama School Speech, Grand Forks students won't see Obama speech live, NE Ohio: School districts 'opt out' of live Obama speech. You get the idea. Judge for yourself by reading President to Address Students Fact Sheet. Keep a box of tissue handy as we get more scared of Swine Flu (and its alleged "safe" vaccine) from Secretary of Education ARNE DUNCON on Face the Bob and Center for Disease Control Director THOMAS FRIEDEN on State of the King (not to be confused with Flat-Earther Thomas FriedMAN - THROW BRICKS at the Real TOM FRIEDMAN on Meet the David). Our Holiday Knuckledragger Awareness Award goes to Dr. Howard Dean for trying futilely to convince faux news watchers single-payer is in their best interest. And George Will has an epiphany on Afghanistan on This George! Great stuff in BTV Alerts and our non-corpormedia sections. Do spend some Labor Day time watching/listening/linking to these important stories. The Brick TeeVee Crew awoke to a hurt deer in the back yard on Wednesday morning. We checked it out and a six-point buck was laying on its side with a pretty badly damaged leg (musta got hit crossing the road behind the BTV compound). Ohio Division of Wildlife advised us of a State Law "Do not resuscitate deer" law and asked us to leave it be. When we returned at noon Mr. Buck had passed. We summoned the city's services dept. to remove the Mr. Buck from our back yard. Deer get hurt and killed by vehicles every day but this one chose to lay down here after running fifty yards, jumping a wooden fence and dragging itself to the softest part of the yard. We excuse all the deer that chowed down our garden this summer. Neighbor Old Man John said he saw a Doe and two Fawns in the wood behind the compound. ;-( Have a SAFE Labor Day Holiday. Brake for Critters.
