CBC Radio Comedy Is King Again!

All right, I've been keeping WireTap with Jonathan Goldstein a secret from all you out there in Webville, but I guess the time has come - after 5 seasons I'm pretty sure now this show will not let me down [like the Airfarce, The Frantics or As It Happens (sigh)]. Enough of me alone with my radio, laughing out loud (LoL), it's time to share this treasure I've found. This is the best comedy show CBC has ever produced! (or had someone else produce)

Download the new seasons first episode "A Better You". (mp3 file: runs 24:30)

Not only that but it has a video presence on youtube; and all the shows are available as podcasts.

WireTap with Jonathan Goldstein for you people who like frequency and amplitude modulation, is on free radio - CBC Radio One - 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays and 11:30 p.m. on Thursdays.

Occupy Movement

10 February 2014

The general perception is that Occupy is over.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The System is critically broken. You can help replace it with one that represents the People's interests - rather than the interests of the few - represented now by a dieing Republic and her allies in a New World Order - an American Empire.

This end of democracy - and possibly of the enlightenment - ushers in a corporatism - a reflection of the Nazi state - refined now with the social barometers of the surveillance state in an IT revolution. With it's endless global war, and it's rapacious 'always on' dog-eat-dog economy, the corporate state creates nothing but fear and loathing, via the terrorism of the market place: a thin strata of highly-paid professionals serving the 1%; feed by a great under-class of skilled, subsistence workers - it creeps thus into every street, into every mind, in every country of the globe.

The grotesque thing is a relic of the past - a desease that wants to bury us all with it as is contorts like a cancer into death itself.

The People's Movements are digging in to protect our democracy; developing deep roots and strength in every community.

This spring may be an awakening of every mind; of every town square. Of every country.

The plus-side as great as the likely fascist horror we face.

Tour de France Coverage

The past 2 years I covered every stage race of the Tour de France at BikingToronto. "Live Blogging" almost every stage, I also wrote a summary pieces on many stages which included some funny takes on the metrics of team bicycle racing. Also you can re-live the progress of Victoria BC's Ryder Hesjedal who, after rising to, and holding on to 3rd place for several stages, finished the 2010 Tour de France in 7th place over all. Have a look my BikingToronto Blog, "@Blog_FreeWheel" "2010 Tour de France" and the "2011 Tour de France" tags.

Longtail Posthumous Aperitif (added to after, before)

At the top of more and more articles in the FilterBlogs archives who'll see this:

After some articles are 'put to bed' at FilterBlogs they get a Longtail Posthumous Aperitif ; links to related articles published after my original post linked at the top of articles - towards a better user experience for you, the reader:

A breakdown of "Posthumous Longtail Aperitif":

After, after, before.
Finished but not finished and at the beginning.

As I continue to add these relevant 'Tweets' the result will be an ongoing re-crawl by search bots; better connecting my posts in search and adding to the 'intelligence' of the Google Search algorithm. Your welcome :)
