If the reports that this guy is an environmentalist wacko, it's the irony of ironies that he's targeting Discovery, a channel which has done about as much as any other to advance global warming hysteria.

BTW, Discovery and it's sister stations are broadcasting normally. American Chopper is currently on the mother channel.

I'm getting the vibe that this guy is a lone whacko, much like the guy who crashed his plane into the IRS building. He's also copycatted the "post your manifesto online" thing as well.

Last I heard train on the nearby red line are still rolling, but this is a very busy station. Traffic and numerous WMATA and Ride On routes will be a nightmare for the PM rush hour.

That's Head Rush, meant to re-use old footage and get teenaged boys into science with the hopes that it could get you chicks that look like Kari Byron.



I think the problem with Mythbusters today is that it's using flimsy pretexts to justify blowing things up. Granted, I still learn things from it from time to time (like how potent non-dairy creamer is as a propellant), but it's not what it used to be.

"The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!"

Our Asian "right winger" demands.

Let's go back to federally funded Planned parenthood, Emma Goldman, et al:
Sanger subscribed to nearly all of the eugenic views discussed above. She sought to ban reproduction of the unfit and regulate reproduction for everybody else. She scoffed at the soft approach of the “positive” eugenicists, deriding it as mere “cradle competition” between the fit and the unfit. “More children from the fit, less from the unfit — that is the chief issue of birth control,”

“We want fewer and better children…and we cannot make the social life and the world-peace we are determined to make, with the ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens that you inflict on us.” Two civilizations were at war: that of progress and that which sought a world “swamped by an indiscriminate torrent of progeny.”

The Birth Control Review ran articles by people who worked for Goebbels and Himmler. For example, when the Nazi eugenics program was first getting wide attention, The Birth Control Review was quick to cast the Nazis in a positive light, giving over its pages for an article titled “Eugenic Sterilization: An Urgent Need,” by Ernst Rüdin, Hitler’s director of sterilization and a founder of the Nazi Society for Racial Hygiene
*****

so where do these two disagree? And what does the 14th amendment have to do with eugenics? that article is inventing connections.

But, anyone want to tell me why if we have a population crisis, where Mother Jones runs front covers blaming white people for overpopulation, and Pelosi puts condoms in the stimulous bill to prevent future welfare cases, why do the two groups with the largest family's get amnesty? I sense genetic engineering on a society with that outright hypocracy.
but like glenn beck, i'm crazy. if only because I've been into and reading these people decades before he has.

Military has stuff like 'great planes' or top 10. I mean it is a step up over discovery wings, but it doesn't seem like much going on there. Discovery is dead. Science channel is easily my fav for the content.
I dunno if Travel is still under the Discovery network umbrella, but that channel has sunked to mostly reality shows. I miss the documentary stuff they used to have.
TLC, total shit. They turned a decent network and into a women's network. If anything TLC used to be what the Science channel is.

The 6:00 PM on Baltimore's WJZ (CBS in Baltimore) had the news that the gunman took the suicide route (the body was still inside), but his manifesto had that bombs were planted all over in the building, so search dogs were going floor to floor to find anything "bomblike".

He was a first class nutball with a grudge against Discovery.

Heh. Eureka isn't as good as it used to be, but it holds up ... can't really stand the others. Weeds was OK the first season or two but it got TOO weird. Nurse Jackie is still good, wonder how much longer before THAT goes in the shitter too like Tara. Fortunately, there's always a decent movie somewhere, which is why I don't bother with the pay commercial networks or the instant propaganda channels either.

USA airs a bunch of House and NCIS marathons, so it's not totally hopeless, but more or less it is kinda meh.
TNT and TBS, both of them I don't care much about either.

True, but at least it's one of the few that I will tolerate.
Don't have Showtime, so don't really follow Weeds or the other stuff.

Cable is great to avoid the networks. Fox has Fringe and House which I like, but other than that, nothing good. History channel is among my favs since I love Modern Marvels and documentary type shows.

I never much went for those shows either ... I tend to never have the predictability of time for series type shows - I tend to do movies since the whole thing is done in one sitting and the cliffhangers (if any) are usually never worth waiting for the sequel. :)

I also find commercials annoying, so tend to avoid networks with advertising unless there's an actual compelling reason to endure them.

Yeah, Marvels and the occasional other "how it's made" kinda stuff I find interesting and usually bag a recording of for when I find a movie ending and I need an hour fill to the local news at 11 ... about all I ever bother with from Fox is Futurama. So those kinda shows just go into the video server to be watched for filler after a movie. I also have a crapload of shorts and such from the old IFC which will backfill anything less than a half hour as needed, even have old Highway Patrol, Just Shoot Me, Cybill, Dharma and Greg and Sea Hunt shows sitting on the server.

True. Usually I would record the show and watch it the next day. But if I have nothing better to watch, then I have to put up with the commercials.
The geico ones with the Drill Sargent making a bad therapist and a snowball fight with Randy Johnson being a bad idea have been great though.

Heh. Two more reasons for stripping out the ads on the server. :)
