  They aren't ads. They are public service messages.

NPR? They make cash registers, right?

The other guests on the show are insane. I really think they should be put onto their own island, so they can create the utopia of which they dream. Somehow, I don't see it working out.

This Barry guy is a joke. He just wants to redefine everything to fit his own narrative. Free market means top down command and control? Deregulation means more control? I guess freedom means slavery and such.

  I was thinking the same thing. The guy's life motto seems to be doublethink.

  Redefining words is the most worn out tool in the left-wing toolbox. It was already old in 1917.

So, has anybody mentioned chemtrails yet?

Seriously, that guy was crazy. Typical state fellator: the only reason anything good ever happens is because of government regulation (which is done by the people for the people) and deregulation is actually a shift to regulation by Evil Corporations instead of The People.

You can't debate that kind of worldview. Props to The Jacket for trying.

Side note: If The Jacket grows his stache back, does that make Stossel totally irelevant?

  No. Stache power is multiplicative, not subtractive. With enough staches, the singularity will be achieved.

  All this time, all we needed to reach Libertopia were a sufficient number of staches! Curse my hairless genetics!

Goddamnit, from what I can tell, they don't archive their shows for free consumption. Why the hell are we subsidizing this shit if we can't go back and listen to it after its over. Commercial radio stations have archives!

Corporation : Progressive :: Terrorist : Conservative

Or something like that.
