Wake, Rattle, and Roll - Intro from the 1990s

newtboy says...

In Texas in the 70’s we had The Banana Splits, a gang of wacky mascots, that hosted Hanna Barbera cartoons.
Where/when was Wake Rattle and Roll aired?

Rep Wiener DESTROYS sellout Republicans... Twice!

ghark says...

Interesting post nordlichreiter - i don't think too many posters here would believe republicans and democrats are not two sides of the same coin though, if you've listened to any Noam Chomsky (as one example) you would know that. There really is no left or right, there is just business. The Democrats are doing a better job of pretending they are trying to do something, that is about all.

Watching Maddow interview Barbera Boxer is imo a pretty good example of what you are talking about, this (Democrat) chick is pure evil, on one hand she's using great talking points and probably getting a lot of support because of it, on the other hand she's been part of the reason the public option is dropped from the current proposal. In one breath she says how great the public option is, then in the next breath tries to use a sales pitch to explain to everyone why they don't need it.

She's also willing to block (using her 42 odd group of voting buddies) any bill if it includes the current abortion wording, which is just part of the game to delay this bill as long as possible so they can pretend they are dropping important aspects of it to "meet half way". The worst for me is her tone, she puts on this smarmy tone, talks slowly as if she's talking to a child, and uses a healthcare example of a child with a cleft palatte to try and get sympathy support, something someone like Sarah Palin would do. For her, it's all just a sales pitch.

Here's the vid (you can avoid the ad' if you access it through the playlist in dag's Rachel Maddow vid - it's the top right one)

'Self Regulation' is exactly what the Bush administration, and here in Britain, did. They said 'the free market knows best, knows more than us. Let them get on with it'.

And they deregulated everything. And look what happened.

All you people ever seem to understand is black and white. The fact is for most things in life to work, especially in economics, there's always a compromise that needs to be found.
You americans have all been brainwashed by the red army propaganda from way back when, and anything remotely to do with government you cry of communism. How absurd.

Deregulation played a major part in the financial meltdown. As westy says, business fundementally is about exploiting people. If you make a profit on something, you are exploiting. If you were to leave Healthcare to the private world, their fundamental concern is to maximise shareholder wealth - not to maximise the nations health.

You can go on deluding yourselves about glorious capitalism - history and evidence has shown.........it doesn't work. You need a bit of both. You need free markets to keep prices down and generate competition, but you also need governments to not let companies get too huge, create barriers to entry into markets (which is the current situation, thus suppressing competition) and have taxes which benefit people who aren't rich (i.e. 99% of the world population.....)
I advise you to read some books on this myth of 'free market is best'.
The cost of capitalism: robert j barbera
The myth of the rational market: justin fox

The last one especially talks about the greed of wall street you hear so much about, but don't seem to acknowledge. When youve got money as a motivating factor, all ethical concerns and welfare of others go straight out the window. If you want your perfect free market - that is the exact mentality that will take place - which would be fine if everyone was starting off on an even plate, with the same amount of assets - but they're not. The inequality between poor/average/rich is so huge it would never be fair to begin with.

The problem of course now is politicians see their positions as careers, rather than civil servants. But with a good government, with good people, if that will ever happen, proper regulation and control of the markets has to take place to ensure the equality gap doesn't become even more wide than it is at the moment. Oil company profits anyone?



good answer.
that would have taken me..oh....a small novella to get my idea across.
well said brother.

TV sign off's compilation

Sketch says...

Man, I didn't realize how Pavlovian some of that crap was. Especially ones that came before a show. Like, once I heard those sounds, I expected a particular show to come on, and I was happy. Particularly (for me), the Hanna-Barbera star before He-Man, the ITC before the Muppet Show, WGBH Boston before 3-2-1 Contact (if I recall), and The Annenberg/CPB Project before any crappy horribly acted PBS show about math or something.

Iranian Scholar: Tom & Jerry is a Jewish Conspiracy

legacy0100 says...

Wasn't Walt Disney known for Anti-Semantic opinions?? Kinda ironic how this man accuses Disney company as 'the Jewish company'.

And plus, Tom and Jerry was made by Hanna-Barbera, not Disney. Also, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera both had Lebanese parents...

So.......

Yes, I completely agree with this man. The moment I saw that cat and mouse, I thought 'DAMN! Those sneaky JEWS are EVERYWHERE!!!'
