ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Heath Summit Drama! For all the finger-wagging and stern words during Thursday's White House Health Care Summit the GOPhers will be out in full force, regressing to the same talking points they were admonished for on live teevee for over six hours. SPEAKER NANCY will go on This Week to talk about CHARLIE "Where's my General" RANGEL (of all things, according to the 'This Week' headline) then head over to State of the Candy to battle a scowling MITCH MCCONNELL. Meet the David goes with JOHN "Crazy Train" MCCAIN while the WH sends over the famous health reform director NANCY-ANN DEPARLE. Who? Then David tries yet another roundtable with featured pols ERIC KANTOR and DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. The best entertainment will be on Face the Bob with absolute looney-toon MARSHA BLACKBURN and fellow looney-mate TOM COBURN facing off against Dems STENY HOYER and KENT CONRAD. To Steny's and Nancy's defense, they actually DID something this week: See OpenGov H.R.4626 - Health Insurance Industry Fair Competition Act To restore the application of the Federal antitrust laws to the business of health insurance to protect competition and consumers. LATEST ACTION: Feb 24th Rules Committee Resolution H. Res. 1098. From Nancy's and Steny's press conference: PELOSI: After 65 years, it is now time for the unfair advantage insurance companies have held over America's families and small businesses to end. HOYER: This bill is about making sure that everyone who wants to offer health insurance in America will do so in a free, open market. That will be subject as every other business is, to anti-trust provisions which say you cannot, in effect, make a deal with somebody that you take that part of the market, I'll take this part of the market, and we'll both charge this price. Because then there is not a free and open market to determine the lowest, best price for the best product. And it PASSED the House 406-19-8 !!! WOW! Look for BRAD FRIEDMAN of BradBlog and special Head On Radio VideoCast from INDEPENDENCE WVA - University of West Virginia featuring Ray McGovern & Robert Parry. Max, Bobby & Pap, Scott and PeterB all have good shows too. The Birck TeeVee Crew has spent the weekend digging out of our portion of the "snow hurricane" that dumped another foot or so of the white stuff on the compound. Our newly-tuned-up 30-yr-old Ariens snowthrower did the trick. We obviously haven't lost power (yet) but we are eying a natural gas generator for backup power, just in case. Stay warm and don't kill yourself moving snow! Have a hot toddy instead!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Attack of the Governors! Governors from around the country flock to get face time on the Big Networks, led by THE GOVERNATOR himself on This (not) George facing off against PA's ED RENDELL. FAKE SNOOZE snags JENNIFER GRANHOLM (D-MI) to match wits and the canned responses from HALEY BARBOUR (R-MS) while State of the Candy gets DEVAL PATRICK (D-MA) to talk trash at JIM DOUGLAS (R-VT) in that cute DLC-our health-care-reform-is-working kinda way with EX-NJ-GUV JON CORZINE filling in the blanks (nice re-election campaign there, eh?). Meet the David snags a solo appearance with Leading Regressive TIM PAWLENTY (R-MN) with his henchman-teabagger-obstructionist-deconstructionalist buddy MIKE PENCE (R-IN) on the roundtable! 60Minutes has some interesting stuff on the on-going sad saga of BLACKWATER USA and the absolutely ridiculous rebuilding of GROUND ZERO nearly a decade later. You have much better luck in the BTV ALERTS with JOE STIGLITZ, GEORGE MONBIOT, THOMAS GEOGHEGAN and HARVEY WASSERMAN who pens at HuffPo Obama's Atomic Blunder "Georgia has been targeted largely because its regulators have demanded ratepayers put up the cash for the reactors as they're being built. Florida and Georgia are among a small handful of states taxing electric consumers for projects that cannot come on line for many years, and that may never deliver a single electron of electricity." See Brick TeeVee SOTU Wrap: Groundhog Day? for a further discussion of this abomination (OBAMANATION?) of U.S. nuclear policy. Add any news item on this topic you see, for safekeeping and reference. Meanwhile PBC continues with the "Boiling Frogs" series with COLEEN CROWLEY plus Middle East Expert JUAN COLE, while AntiWar Radio has The Other SCOTT HORTON to discuss the Gitmo "suicides" at Kamp No. MAX KEISER has some informative items while Ring of Fire Radio gets HENRY ROLLINS to talk about the teabagger "movement" and ROBERT GREENWALD. Brick TeeVee welcomes ACTION POINT WITH CYNTHIA BLACK now available all weekend on the HEAD ON RADIO weekend rotation. We hope to get the mp3 links soon. Tune in! The Brick TeeVee crew has been dealing with getting the new BTV Web Server on-line and rebuilding a workstation after its MoBo smoked. We seem to have things under control hardware-wise finally and the workstation took the XP install CD after about four dozen tries and a lot of technical ju jitsu (stupid CMOS and SATA drivers). The Brick TeeVee Crew STRONGLY RECOMMENDS you make back-ups of your most important stuff you have now because there are only TWO KINDS OF HARD DRIVES: the ones that HAVE failed and the ones the WILL fail. Caveat Emptor and all that. Have a great Sunday and next week!

  • Info on Podcast #98 Published on 16 FEB 2010 by admin in Podcast Info -- Coleen Rowley, 24-yr-FBI agent, on recent terror plots and the 9/11 Commission. This is another edition of the Boiling Frogs interview series, co-hosted with Sibel Edmonds. Rowley shares with us her views on the latest spectacle surrounding the Christmas Day foiled terrorist attempt, and how it reflects on policies that were implemented after 9/11. She provides us with insight into the pretend investigations carried out by the 9/11 Commission, and how they conducted many of their interviews of FBI witnesses and experts inside the FBI HQ and offices. Ms. Rowley talks about the absence of real investigations and accountability in almost any government related wrongdoing, our shameful treatment of inmates at Guantanamo, the alarming desensitization of our people bolstered by the culprit mainstream media, and much more.
  • Info on Podcast #99 Published on 17 FEB 2010 by admin in Podcast Info -- Prof. Juan Cole on Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Kevin Kamps on Obama’s nuclear gamble. Prof. Cole teaches history at U of Michigan, and writes the Informed Comment blog, a great resource on America’s wars. We talk about the draw down of US troops in Iraq and Cole is optimistic about full withdrawal by the end of 2010. He describes the jockeying in Iraq over the March 7 elections and the influence of Iran and Ahmed Chalabi on the process. He details the capture of Mullah Baradar–the military leader of the “old” Taliban–by Pakistani and US operatives, and offers candid comments about the new US attack on Marjah. Kamps is an expert on nuclear waste at the think tank founded by Dr. Helen Caldicott, Beyond Nuclear and he is sharply critical of Obama’s decision to provide loan guarantees for Southern Co.’s plans to build two new nukes in Georgia so taxpayers take the risk and the utility takes the profits. In addition to the financial risk, Kamps talks about the fallacy that nukes are safe for people and the environment and the false promise that a blue ribbon panel can resolve the nuclear waste issues.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

What could be better than waking up on Valentine's Day to some nice fair-trade chocolates and organically-grown red roses, maybe even breakfast in bed? So you turn on your teevee and you get the SCOWLING FACE of DICK CHENEY live and in color? If this scenario makes you a bit queezy then stay away from This Week (with another guest host audition), except for JANE MAYER talking about her latest in the New Yorker The Trial in the February 15, 2010 Issue where she writes, Holder, despite the controversy he has inspired, has not actually pushed for radical change. Indeed, critics in left-leaning legal circles have complained that he has kept too many of George W. Bush’s counterterrorism policies in place. For example, Holder’s Justice Department has continued blocking lawsuits by people who were subjected to extraordinary rendition—the practice of sending suspected terrorists captured abroad to countries known for administering torture—on the ground that such litigation would expose state secrets. Even some former members of the Bush Administration see more continuity than change. Bradford Berenson, who served as a White House lawyer when the Bush Administration was forging its controversial legal approach to terrorism, told me that “from the perspective of a hawkish Bush national-security person the glass is eighty-five per cent full in terms of continuity.” Terry Gross interviews Jane on Eric Holder And The Politics Of Terrorism Trials: Fresh Air Feb. 9 2010. Of course the Obama Admin jumps into action and send the WH Limo for Veep JOE BIDEN on Meet the David and Face the Bob with NAT-SEC guy GEN. JAMES JONES riding shotgun on State of the Candy with the requisite regressive JON KYL to throw lie-bombs straight off the GOPher weekend talking points. JONES then skeedaddles to FAKE NEWS (We LIE You Decide) to battle LINDSAY "very bigoted and not-polite" GRAHAM. 60 Minutes has a piece on DAVOS and a follow-up on BERNIE MADOFF's tricks-of-the-trade. The BTV Alerts are chock-a-block with REAL journalism with DENNIS AND GLENN AND DANNY, plus CHRIS HEDGES wtih PBC and Max interviews MISH SHEDLOCK while Ring Of Fire gets SHELDON WHITEHOUSE. Plenty to check out this Valentine Sunday for sure! The Brick TeeVee Crew lost interest in the Olympics back in 2002 so the only thing they've seen so far is k.d.lang knocking it outta the park while basking in the CLE CAVS 13-game franchise-tying winning streak going into the All-Star Game. Not to worry, Pitchers and Catchers report to Spring Training THIS WEEK! Of course The Crew will be watching 200-mph racing, rooting on pole-sitter MARK MARTIN but watch out for KEVIN HARVICK who won the Bud Shoot-out and looks mighty fast too. Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at Brick TeeVee!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

The U.S Economy is in dire need of some sensible eXtra Large IntraVenous injection (XL-IV). Instead some VERY HEAVY HITTERS of U.S Economic Policy for the LAST TWO DECADES will do their economic-speak-in-tongues best this Sunday: Treasury Secretary (used to work for Kissinger Associates and the IMF) TIMMY GEITHNER on This Diane and Treasury Secretary under gwb (and driver of the bus) HANK PAULSON (I-Goldman) and ALAN "I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interests of organisations, specifically banks and others, were such that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms" GREENSPAN on Meet the David. JOSEPH STIGLTZ notes in The Guardian Unfettered markets may have caused this calamity, and markets by themselves won't get us out, at least any time soon. Government action is needed, and that will require effective and forceful political leadership. Correspondent Prairie 2 notes in GDP up, Economy down "Friday has so far brought us five more bank chains that have failed in the US and they may not be done for the day. The cost will approach two billion USD or more and of course what ever poor saps that had bought the stock of these banks have been wiped out. These events too have no effect on Wall Street since they don’t give a damn what goes on in the real world as long as their 100 million dollar bonus checks clear the bank." Haha. And if you think THAT was a hoot CANUCK STEVIE HARPER is gonna host the G7 meeting at the North Pole! See G-7 heads to Canadian Arctic for environment discussion (ap @ usatoday): Climate change is altering the Arctic geography by melting ice and creating open waterways, and with them new access to a bonanza of minerals, petroleum and polar shipping routes. This has led to a welter of conflicting claims by Canada's neighbors, including Russia. ~ Average February temperatures fall to minus 32 degrees C (minus 25 degrees F), and that's not counting wind chill.. Not too many protesters at the North Pole (ya think? Shades of Jeckyl's Island?) but don't forget Santa Elves are UNIONIZED! Haha! Face the Bob is all about Superbowl. PROGRAMMING NOTE: CNN's John King has relinquished the lagging 4-hour "State of the King" so Candy Crowley gets the NEW ONE-HOUR "State of the Union" now at 9 AM Eastern AND PACIFIC with the resurrected (worthless) "Reliable Sources" with Putz Kurtz at 8 am et and Tri-Lateral Commission member Fareed Zakaria GPS at 10 am et then "Amanpour" at 11 am et. BRICK THROWING SPECIAL! Governor-that-quit-turned-GOP-evangelist-at-large Sarah Palin gets the FULL HOUR on FAKE NEWS! Tune in for the comic relief! Back to the reality-based world with SCOTT HORTON and The Guantánamo “Suicides”: A Camp Delta sergeant blows the whistle. We featured SCOTT HORTON last week and urge you to listen to SCOTT HORTON @ PBC Podcast #91 and AntiWar Radio if you missed these last week. Read SCOTT HORTON'S blog for more info at No Comment at Harper's plus see his FSTV interview in BTV alerts. Bobby is back this week at Ring of Fire Radio (now syndicated by Westwood One), Max has CATHERINE AUSTIS FITTS while AntiWar interviews GARETH PORTER about the current Afghanistan situation. All good! Or bad, depending on your viewpoint. But all worth your consideration! The Brick TeeVee Crew thinks they have a workable recipe for Tailgate Beer Omlettes. Kid Leo (of CLE OH's WMMS "Bookie Joint" fame and LittleStevensUnderground DJ) says "Lay the points, Colts" but the BTV Crew is looking for a WHO DAT NATION UPSET and like the UNDER (54 1/2). Pig out, America, while Rome burns!
