Podcast 121

Perspective on today’s news as no one else can, for your digital brain. Bob is back into his manic, madman style and loving it! Are we developing a digital brain that reads but doesn’t comprehend? Is this why we believe things? Is this why key points are omitted in coverage of the most important issues of our time? What’s wrong with MH370 conspiracy theories? Why the Ukraine story is the most important current story. Why you should not believe more people are insured these days because of Obama Care. A rant about a Jeb Bush candidacy in 2016 and why the next two election cycles may just be the most important elections in our lifetimes. Sponsored by X-Government Cars.

What stories are catching my attention this week? How do the ‘dots’ connect? What to look for, and I round up the top stories midweek. The conspiracy theorists are already filling the factual holes on the mysterious disappearance of Flight 370. Are you getting the right information to make informed decisions about what the US Foreign Policy should be with Russia and the Ukraine, or are you letting cable television ‘entertainment news’ shows do your thinking for you? What can today’s long term unemployed learn from 16 year old coders who are already making money? Are the Koch brothers really the biggest political contributors? (Not by a long shot). And one really angry story about a cat “with a history of violence”. Sponsored by Ryan Plumbing and Heating of Saint Paul.

Lord, I had forgotten about ‘Ballon Boy’. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not! Conspiracy Theory and Politics in America: While some say the Balloon Boy story is a mainstream media distraction, Bob says it is THE story. Without being aware of it, Balloon Boy Dad Richard Heene could be a more accurate reflection of populist political concepts than we might be willing to admit.
