    I read the reason Cheney went crazy was he was reading the unfiltered intelligence reports, so any homeless guy who walked in off the street in Kabul and told the Americans he had a nuclear bomb got logged and sent up the chain, Usually it is discounted but Cheney wanted the raw shit.

    Allen Dulles was their lawyer when they were charged with trading with the enemy. John Foster Dulles ( a man my grandfather described as the most stupid and evil man in America after having the displeasure of working with him ) created the school of thought that created both the neocons, the Iran crisis, and a great deal of the things that Al Qaeda sited as justification to go to war with us.

    No it should be billed to everyone who gave more than $250 to Bush in the second election. You broke it you bought it. Divide the cost of the war across all the property value of the donors and have a one time property tax.

    No that Gerrymandering, racism, and fascism. Mussolini defined fascism as the combination of state and corporation with religious conservatism for indoctrination. That's why they call Obama the Imperial president they attack their own weakness, un encumbered by the realization that the thing they hate the most they are most guilty of themselves.

    Not motorized, use passive heat transfer. Like a heat pipe, one side gets heavier and it tracks the sun with no power and only a bearing and a strut to replace or repair We have a Zomeworks that has been in service since 1992. Still works great.

    Only problem is that additional panels are now cheaper than the rack so have 30% face south and 70% west.

    How about not putting them on your fucking house in the first place. Find a way to annex a lot in the Mohave that keeps your local credit and power sales rates but place them where you get the MOST from them. Oh wait... put them in space where they belong.

    We cannot make a Saturn V right now if the world depended on it. Also the Saturn V used basically 1 planetary output of energy at the time to get out of the gravity well. There are much better options.

    I meant that as hyperbole and even within that context it was limited to economic practices. (I would have said communism but that would be a lie because real communism would be owned by the customers so it would be OK.) Yes totalitarian psychopaths are worse than Comcast.

  22. Re:Awesome quote on Worcester Mass. City Council Votes To Keep Comcast From Entering the Area · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You're a fucking moron. There is nothing even vaguely close to free market capitalism in any part of Comcast. They are a natural monopoly operating as a cartel / oligopoly. Cable companies have a high barrier to entry, they are profoundly non-transparent, they are engaged in rent seeking behavior and they exert undue influence on their regulators. So they are basically the worst aspects of capitalism combined with the worst part of Stalinism.

    Basic question if you are the MOST HATED company in America how else could you stay in business except by anti-competitive practices? Most hated. MOST HATED! (Is there anything more yelling than caps?) Oh I know by paying fucking shills to FUD ta interwebs.

  24. Instead of bitching just buy them out. If Kickstarter would go to 5 billion we could do it there but it doesn't. Just get households to spend their $150 a month of stock instead and shut down their account in 2 years at a steady stock price we would own it be able to vote in our own board. If everyone turns off their account it will go much faster and at an increasing rate then BAM! User owned coop. Fuck regulation, it doesn't work. Fuck the FCC. Hate fuck Comcast to death.
