So, who runs the Paranoid Center? Does it work like traditional rehab? Do you know how much it costs for treatment? I'd really like to stop these black helicopters from coming by and I have decades worth of aluminum foil in the garage. Think they can help?
The Milkman.
Paranoia is a well known side effect of taking pot.
LICK MY BALLS!
Go make me a sandwich, bitch!
Talking about paranoia on an official media arm of the Russian Government?
Isn't this kinda of 'coals to newcastle' thing?
Video doesn't work for me 🙁
Does not work for me either.
Anybody going to point out the irony of libertarians being frequent guests of a Russian cable channel. Or is this really some Reasonable plot to ignite libertarian notions in the Motherland?
Its Friday, you are just trying to get us drunk early.
I saw Russia Today one morning on NBC Universal. I watched about 5 minutes of it and said, "You'd have to be an idiot not to realize this is Russian propoganda." A little googling confirmed that pretty quickly. It's still better than Red Eye, though.
I don't think it's particularly any more propagandized than the American media, or other western news outlets like the BBC, which also receives public funding and strokes the government's cock.
russian news has a higher signal/noise ratio than american news.
Is Welch the only Reasoner who owns a tie?
At least he's not wearing a bright red vest...
Getting ass-raped by an epileptic Neil Cavuto is better than Red Eye. Never have so many retards appeared in one television studio.
