Does anyone else think Ron Johnson would happily slaughter whales in the way of a petroleum reservoir?

Ron Johnson told a television audience that windmills might be killing whales. He was wrong, but it's worth understanding why he said it anyway.

Read in MSNBC: https://apple.news/AMeq-FKXYQKyFM2DuI0cCXw
The irony of his windmills killing whales claim, is that he learned about it from a segment on Fox news.

The incestuous circle-jerk of misinformation comes to fruition.

Cousteau, thanks, i suspected I was wrong, but Sea Hunt was all that came to mind

Glen A Larson is the guy who inflicted Battlestar Ponderosa, Buck Rogers, 6M$M & all manner of very-seventies awfulness & stupidity on the viewing public - in contrast to the BSG redo which was as sublime as the OG was ridiculous

My mother was the one who watched those mystery-of-the-week things:
we weren’t allowed out of our bedrooms that late, so we were primed to not care when she talked about them
I tried watching new BSG but the bit I watched struck me as all politics and a deficiency of cool spacecraft.

Nah … he got a flash of locked cell and the sound of people laughing and it spooked him. Not the air of melancholy.

Even if the orange orangutan got a measly 5 year lockup , he wouldn’t survive. Being told when to shit and eat - no diet cokes / no hamberders :mrgreen: / no porn stars / no cheap china made suits and ties. Old Flubber will probably have a cardiac event.

Only then will he have to face his legacy of world’s biggest loser.

I included Steve Austin Astronaut with tongue in cheek. Galactica, Knight Rider and A-Team were flat-out dreadful. Chips (perfectly lampooned in one of the Disney “Planes” movies) and Dukes of Hazzard rounded out the awful.

But there was a weekly crime series, sort of an anthology of several shows (was that where Columbo got its start?) that featured a flashlight and pseudowhistling in its opening credits.

(edit) the Sunday Night Mystery Movie on NBC

Minor quibble: the first one was Cousteau.


Man … you guys missed the most obvious gem from that era.

Yeah that episode - Horror in the heights - always got me :( That god damn creature ( the Rakasha ) shape shifting MFer , wants to hug you as grandma and eats your god damn face.

Jesus … i need a smoke right now.:(:joint:
remember Space:1999?
There was an episode that had the Swiss Army Knife of movie monsters. (Before you lose the toothpick and tweezers.)

It lived on a derelict in a spaceship graveyard.
It drew its victims in using mind control, often across great distances.
It swallowed them whole into a fiery orifice, and seconds later spat out charred torsos.
It screamed like a fighter jet coming right at’cha.
It had flailing tentacles and one great faceted luminous eye.
You never saw the whole thing, but it was big.

Let the flames of the GOP ingulf itself.....


BREAKING: MAGA Rep. Matt Gaetz ignites a Republican civil war on the floor of Congress by calling to block all spending bills unless Hunter Biden is subpoenaed and President Biden is impeached on fake charges.

And he wasn't done there. This is truly insane — and nightmare news for Republicans... Gaetz threatened that if his unhinged demands are not met, he and his far-right cronies will initiate a "motion to vacate the chair" which means removing Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.

In essence, they intend to hold the government hostage to push through an investigation that will lead nowhere and an impeachment that has no foundation in reality.

Democrats control the Senate so there is no chance of Biden being removed from office. More importantly, there is no legitimate reason to impeach him. Republicans are relying on vague accusations of "corruption."

The American people will see that there is no evidence and no reason to impeach and will once again realize that Republicans are wasting time and money to score cheap political points.

This is going to backfire in spectacular fashion.

InfoWars host gets 60 days in prison over Jan. 6 charges
InfoWars host Owen Shroyer was sentenced Tuesday to 60 days in prison for his actions that the government claimed “helped create January 6,” The Associated Press reported.

Shroyer did not enter the Capitol on Jan. 6. 2021, but he led protestors in chants and encouraged them to march to the Capitol building.

“The Democrats are posing as communists, but we know what they really are: they’re just tyrants, they’re tyrants.” Shroyer said into a megaphone before leading protestors to march to the Capitol, according to the government’s sentencing memo. “And so today, on January 6, we declare death to tyranny! Death to tyrants!”

Prosecutors noted that Shroyer praised the actions of the rioters following the attack.
Prosecutors, who initially asked for 120 days behind bars, also justified their request for the sentence by claiming Shroyer “spread election disinformation paired with violent rhetoric to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of viewers,” through his online streaming show, “The War Room,” hosted on the InfoWars platform.

They also argued that the sentence was appropriate because Shroyer had an active order to stay away from the Capitol, as of Jan. 6, 2021, for a pending case of disorderly conduct.

He is one of few defendants to be sentenced for his actions related to the Jan. 6 insurrection without entering the Capitol Building. He pleaded guilty in June to one count of illegally entering a restricted area.

Shroyer’s defense team argued that the case had been “characterized by a cooperative spirit between the defense and the Government,” noting that Shroyer had let prosecutors inspect his cell phones without a warrant and spoke to prosecutors about his messages.

His defense team also argued that Shroyer believed then-President Trump when he said the election was stolen, though his team added that, “Mr. Shroyer claims no justification for his conduct simply because he believed the president.”

“But when Mr. Shroyer appeared at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, he wore two hats: one was that of outraged citizen who believed that an election had been rigged, the other as full-time journalist and commentator who sought a front-row seat at an historic event,” the defense wrote.

Is it before or after 60n days that you lose your cherry?
