The video-links only thread

Too lazy to look up your representative's number? This website makes it even easier--it will find the number, call it for you, and then call your cell phone to connect you. Tell your representative's office that you support comprehensive health care reform, and urge them to support the public option.

(from your video link Jeff. I'm more stunned by that than the tea bagging.

And if you got a crazy rumor you can spread it around
I kind of like my insurance and I like my health
The other 47 million can go treat themselves
To some prayer in chapel Fold your hands and pray
Because we are a Christian nation and that is the Christian way[/url]

Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but looks interesting.

KTLA UFO Cover Up Live Oct 15 1988 (part 1 of 8.)

Damn interesting. Got sucked into the whole thing, gawdy late-80's network ads and all.

What was it about pink and teal back then, anyway?

I'm surprised by how much ground is covered, and how many characters show up in it, like Budd Hopkins, Bill Moore, Jesse Marcel Jr., etc.

The mood music is almost condescending, but the treatment, overall, seems supportive and well-meaning. Seems.

It's interesting that they mention the NSA a few times, which didn't officially exist as of 1988 AFAIK, did it?

On Edit:

This aired the week leading up to the US theatrical premiere of Alien Nation, a trailer for which runs late into the broadcast. Of all damn things to be premiering within days of this show!

It also coincided with the Kennedy mini-series, which reminds me of the lore that at least one of the cards stacked against JFK was his unwillingness to tow the Brookings party line.

AT&T is a major corporate sponsor.
