Subject: ESTHER'S FOLLIES is dated and lame
I'm betting that Norton67 is a fan of Rush Limbaugh and his comment was a lone drive-by.

ESTHER'S FOLLIES is a cut below Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. It's amateur political theatre.

The stuff on Limbaugh's Pattern of Lies is factual, but everyone already knows about that, except Dittoheads.

The ads for the 52 Election show how Dems did lame ads and let Eisenhower win. Really lame jingles. But Ike was not a nutcase like Reagan or Bush. Ike was a moderate Republican and former General from World War 2.

Commentary on raping of Haiti is accurate.

This Potpourri is a mixed bag.

-----------------------------------
I prefer others like William Domhoff explaining the American Power Structure, and the in-studio conversation with Phil Agee, as well as discussions with John Stockwell.

The videos on the Savings and Loan looting and bailout closely parallel the banking collapse and bailout of 2008 - 2009, except immensely bigger this time, but same causes and responses and official rhetoric. Legalized bank robbery. The S and L looting includes a vid called something like "CIA, Mafia and Bush", but I won't give away the shocking plot line.
