Michael Walsh joins CBD and J.J. Sefton to discuss his newest book:
Against The Corporate Media, the fall of American media, Iran and Militant Islam, and more!
America's Shadow Head of FEMA Ron DeSantis: It's now too late to evacuate; if you're still at your home, just hunker down and try your best to keep dry and safe.
Yacht or Nyacht? "Goodbye Stranger" by SupertrampMan do I love the instrumental ending. The Yacht or Nyacht website does not even mention Supertramp, not even to say "Nyacht." I'm really starting to doubt the accuracy and integrity of this website and I'm afraid we'll have to resort to our former method of resolving these disputes, fisticuffs and German-style sword dueling.
Because I've decided I'm now an Honorary Italian, and also because I'm burned out, I'll be taking Monday (Columbus Day) off. Just open threads and animal videos. Friday will also be a little low-effort. Sorry, I need some rest! I've got to get back to Sam and Frodo. This Ring won't bear itself.
Whoops, I linked the wrong Salem's Lot trailer in the thread. I specifically praised it for the song choice, but the trailer I linked had no song. Here's the one I
intended to link.It's a good song to suggest desiccated evil corpses pretending to be alive.
Pitch Meeting: MegalopolisIt's all spoilers, I guess, if this mad mess can even be spoiled. I don't think the story is the main thing here. Not sure what the main thing is. It sounds like something you dream, and you're super-excited about how cool it is, but then you start to write it down and as your mind becomes clearer you say, "Wait a minute, none of this makes any sense! This is just all stupid nonsense-gibberish!"
It sounds like a pipe dream. By which I mean, I think someone beat Coppola with a pipe and he went into a coma and when he woke up he said "Sell my vineyard, I've got a script."
Forgotten 80s Mystery Click
Some time from now you'll bow to pressure
Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees
I'm between the poles and the equator
Don't send no private investigator
to find me please
'Less he speaks Chinese
And can dance like Astaire overseas
Yacht or Nyacht? I'd say no. It's an 80s song, a bit out of the Yacht Rock Era, and Yacht or Nyacht doesn't even list it. I think this is what MTV used to call "alternative," which wound up just meaning "neither metal, nor hard rock, nor rap, nor outright dance-pop." (Which actually is kind of Yacht Rock's playing field but I still say no, too much accoustic guitar and no electric piano.)
Maddow: JD Vance is a "slicker" speaker only because he, who entered politics like four years ago,
has more experience speaking in debates than the 12-year-congressman, current governor of Minnesota.Note that this insane spin -- that a 20-year politician (he deserted his unit in 2004 to run in 2005) has "more experience" debating policy than a neophyte who just joined the game a couple of years ago -- was put out by Walz campaign before the debate, to lower expectations. (Spoiler: He did not lower expectations enough.) And here's the bitter disinformation-pushing conspiracy-queen Rachel Maddow dutifully propagating it.
Asked for comment about the allegations he publicly slapped a woman at Cannes, Doug Emhoff responded, "Kamala was raised in a middle-class household and her mother is nice."
Rich Lowry observed that while both Vance and Walz agreed with each other and polite, it hit different with each. Vance was clearly beating up this fat retard, so his agreement was seen as magnanimous to a clearly-outclassed opponent. Walz's agreement back did not seem magnanimous, as he was not in any position of strength, but seemed like the stupid kid in class agreeing with the smart kid so that the teacher would move on to the next kid. (On Megyn Kelly's post-debate show.)
