Loading...(2010/11/22) President Kenneth the Page, the illusion of safety, Republican sabotage, superheroes, and Listener Mail
Episode #199 The full-body scanners are still in the news with President Kenneth the Page AKA Bobby Jindal gracing Meet The Press with his presence to defend “behavioral” profiling, which is racial profiling in disguise.
Citizen Radio talks about the illusion of safety, the odd timing of the pro-TSA privatization movement now that employees desire to unionize (http://allisonkilkenny.com/2010/11/are-republicans-pro-tsa-privatization-because-of-unionization/,) how other governments and security officials don’t think the full-body scanners guarantee more safety, and how the fully-body scanner craze started when Michael Chertoff, former Bush national security official, pimped the system in the days after the blundered attack without disclosing his consulting firm represents the companies designing the scanners (http://allisonkilkenny.com/2010/11/less-liberty-always-equals-more-safety/).
It’s time to call sabotage, sabotage. Republicans have repeatedly undermined Democratic-led efforts — not for the sake of easing the recession, fixing unemployment, or stemming the foreclosure crisis — but for the expressed purpose of making Obama a one-term president.
It’s time for more of your Listener Mail! Your questions/comments this week include how Christians aren’t a monolith and talking to your apathetic hipster douche bags.
Also, Allison and Jamie are probably now superheroes after being exposed to toxic waste at the YMCA. It’s no big deal, you guys.
