Friday, March 13: Bailouts, Big Spending, and Bull on ABC! And Streaming Video at Reason.com!
Tonight, John
Stossel takes his shovel to "Bailouts, Big Spending, and Bull" with
segments about the crackdown on medical marijuana, universal
preschool, traffic congestion, stimulus spending, border walls, and
the myth of the struggling middle class—all inspired by Drew Carey's award-winning Reason.tv
videos.
Featuring a special appearance by Drew Carey himself!
20/20 airs at 10pm ET on Fridays. Make sure to check your local listings to be sure.
And tune into Reason.com at 8.30PM ET for a live pre-show discussion of the issues at hand. We'll be streaming live from our D.C. offices. For details on that, go here.

Nothing is self-regulating.
"Free markets" periodically require outside intervention.
Even if you ban usury, which might make markets more stable.

Not gonna watch. It's on opposite Battlestar Galactica. I'll wait for you to post the video here.
johnl|3.12.09 @ 5:33PM|#
Galactica plays nationally at 10PM ET on ScifiHD. So in another timezone, you can take in Galactica on HD at 7 Pacific (or whatever) then watch 20/20 at 10. Or watch Galactica again.

Isn't this reason event going to conflict with a global climate change protest?

Epi, I can't see how they'll wrap up all the loose threads, even
with three hours left. They'll either have to leave some major plot
points unresolved, or else the last scene will be Adama bolting up
in bed on Caprica, saying, "Thank the gods, it was all just a
dream! ...Or was it?"
DUN DUN DUN fade out....
|3.13.09 @ 1:37PM|#
That's why I say they're going to nuke the fridge. And they
don't have three hours, they have three episodes which is about
2.25 hours.
Oh well, I'll just make sure I'm wasted for all of it and I won't
care or understand.
|3.13.09 @ 1:42PM|#
In tonight's episode, Baltar grows a moustache and rails against Adama's "infrastructure" spending.
Warty|3.13.09 @ 1:44PM|#
Let's make predictions.
1) Cavil is Starbuck's father.
2) Starbuck is really Zach Adama.
3) Hera is a psychic space-zombie.
4) Dr. Sam Beckett never returns home.
|3.13.09 @ 1:47PM|#
Jason Lewis, filling in for Rush Limbaugh yesterday, had Stossel on the program. Lewis is way more libertarian than Rush, and it was nice to hear props for the cause in such a huge forum.
|3.13.09 @ 1:49PM|#
1) Daniel is Starbuck's father.
2) Starbuck is really Dirk Benedict.
3) Hera is dead.
4) Al gets fed up with Sam and has him boxed.

"Free markets" periodically require outside
intervention.
That's such a blanket statement of pure sophistry, I think I just
accidentally swallowed my cock.
Where did you learn that bit of "wisdom," your fucking middle-aged
burn-out sexually frustrated liberal overgrown-cunt-hair-combing
eighth-grade civics teacher?
|3.13.09 @ 1:53PM|#
They will evacuate Galactica, Anders will "become" the ship and
this will counter Cavil's plans somehow. Starbuck dies with
him.
And the last scene of the series will be her sitting up out of
resurrection goo.
|3.13.09 @ 2:19PM|#
Epi and Warty,
No, srsly, those are my predictions. I'm fine with the joke. I just
came to play.
|3.13.09 @ 2:26PM|#
No, let's just pay a Zoroastrian named Vilma to shave his testicles. And maybe his back too.
|3.13.09 @ 2:31PM|#
Let's find a windmill, set it on fire, and then defenestrate
him.
Windmills have windows where you come from? That's ghey.
|3.13.09 @ 2:39PM|#
Warty,
You're a bit obsessed with the ass today. Did you eat too much
cheese again?
It'll happen little buddy, but
don't force it.

Reads like pure awesomeness, if you ask me. "Shit, cops! Better
put on my makeup!"
Do Not Click That Link
Too late.
Search on teh Googles for pictures of the powerlifter who prolaped
at the bottom of a squat. Make sure you have some vaseline and
kleenex handy.

Srsly, d00d. Go get your prostate milked and get past this anal fixation phase of yours. You're making Epi hot.
|3.13.09 @ 2:46PM|#
I've seen prolapses for realz on monkeys and had to sprinkle (salt or sugar, I can't remember what the vet's trick was) stuff on them to get them to shrink and go back in. Your link is powerless against me.
|3.13.09 @ 2:50PM|#
Uh oh, Grandpa Episiarch's on his "Back in my day, I had to salt monkey's assholes to make a living" kick. Quick, run before he gets out the ribbon candy.
|3.13.09 @ 2:56PM|#
I salted your rectum many times when you were a baby, NutraSweet. You really liked to stuff crazy shit up there. I mean, a Mr. Potato Head? Really?
|3.13.09 @ 3:00PM|#
You're younger than me. You actually couldn't think of anything better to do with time travel than to fiddle around with my baby bits? Unimaginative Sicko is a heck of a business card.

Nothing is self-regulating.
Umm, practically everything is self-regulating, Brett.
Think about it. It'll come to you.

"Nothing is self-regulating.
'Free markets' periodically require outside intervention.
Even if you ban usury, which might make markets more stable."
"Free markets" is a loose term that means free of collusion with
government. It doesn't mean no government regulation of it at all,
particularly in relation to deterring and penalizing fraud,
misrepresentation, and theft.
"Lewis is way more libertarian than Rush,"...
Like most economic conservatives, Rush is somewhat libertarian on
economic issues, but he's also a social conservative, meaning that
he's hard core Theopublican when it comes to such issues as porn,
abortion, and equal rights under the law for non-heteros.

Great info, every American needs to be exposed to you. How does M. Moore get his crap into our schools and not something worthwhile like this.

Terrible night for Stossel's special. BSG, Terminator, Dollhouse, and the beatdown of UCLA by USC. It took me until 2 am to get everything watched.
normal|3.14.09 @ 1:55PM|#
Thank you John and Drew. Great show. Someone must have been asleep at the switch to allow this on national media.
|3.14.09 @ 4:46PM|#
And it turns out, I didn't get everything watched last night. I
still have the E! special (possible back-door pilot) "Hot Girls in
Scary Places" starring three of the USC Song Girls. Those of you
who know of Scott Wolf's "Inside USC" blog know why this was as
important at Stossel.
Still, great job John. It was amazing to see that stuff on network
TV.
