Here’s a thought …. perhaps the most worthwhile candidate for a beheading (or even just your common old guilloltine and/or stocks treatment), should go to the inventor of the Auto-Cue.
It’s the great enabler. It’s the enabler of the ‘next up’; the ‘going forward’; the producer’s (and Him above’s) agenda assistant.
It’s the presenters prop;
It’s their saviour from the perils of happenstance;
It’s Paul Henry’s and Oik Hosking’s best friend – and the reason they appear to come across as semi-intelligent beings when presenting [apparently proffering is not a word these days yet going forward and learnings is] some sort of fucked up argument……. going forward
It’s the great prompter of talking points;
It’s the Crosby Textors’s Bess Fren
It’s Obama Bin Laden and Uncle Tom’s Bess Fren.
Admitedly, it can fuck up from time to time – when it’s not followed (SUCH AS WHEN the WURRL’s greatest orator; representative of peace, love, freedon, and the American WAY Obama – goes of course, AND TRIES TO AD LIB: such as “China doesn’t make the rules …. WE [the USA – land of freedom and demockracy do”}
Yes .. I nominate the inventor of the AutoCue as the 21st C’s greatest terrorist (going forward)
Episode 876

“Every week Max Keiser looks at all the scandal behind the financial news headlines.
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the unintended geo-economic and financial consequences of trying to treat economics and politics as a science.
They note the capital flight from Italy and Spain, and the growth of deposits in Russia due to sanctions.
They also look at the lawsuit by American victims of Mexican drug cartels against HSBC, who they allege directly committed an act of terrorism.
In the second half, Max interviews Mitch Feierstein of PlanetPonzi.com about the Fed’s attempt to taper a ponzi, the market chaos it has caused and the negative rates trying to stop the debt deflation.
Max & Stacy are magic.
Wonder if Max knew Key while he was a trader on Wall St before max saw sense and ditched the criminal enterprise of Wall St?
