<p>We&#8217;ll see the death of many middleman. That is what Craig&#8217;s List is all about. Who the hell wants to pay real estate brokers if you don&#8217;t have to?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sudden Building Collapse Syndrome (SBCS) is not well understood. Perhaps that is why the 9/11 Commission Report made no mention of the sudden collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 late in the day on September 11, 2001.</p>
<p>The 9/11 Commission Report didn&#8217;t include any information about the President&#8217;s brother,Â  Marvin Bush either. Marvin Bush was a principal owner of the security firm, Securecom, aka Statesec, the company that held the contract to provide security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines and Dulles International Airport on Sept 11th, 2001.</p>
<p>But with the new popularity of online video the public is beginning to discover video tape evidence showing that the collapse of Building 7 occurs at free fall speed identical to what happens in a controlled demolition.</p>
<p>In a controlled demolition explosive charges are used to liquify weight bearing joints causing the walls to collapse directly into a building&#8217;s footprint with no resistance at free fall speed.</p>
<p>Which may explain why traditional media outlets have never allowed the public to see video clips of Building 7 as it collapsed.Â  No airplane hit building 7 yet it collapses at free fall speed as did the twin towers earlier that same day.</p>
<p>But the work required to wire a 47 story building for a controlled demolition would have had to begin some time before Sept 11, 2001 and that points to Marvin Bush&#8217;s security company.Â  Was Marvin BushÂ  sleeping on the job or very much awake?</p>
<p>Or did Building 7 commit suicide in an act of solidarity with the other two buildings?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this 5 minute video blog the BetterBadNews panel examine how podcast sponsors EarthLink (the Gillmor Gang) and GoDaddy (Evil Genius Chronicles) benefit from negative buzz by being included in an absurd conversation about advertising in the blogosphere.</p>
<p>Gillmor and Slusher produce two of the best podcasts available online butÂ  to snareÂ  and maintainÂ  sponsorsÂ  both shows are forced toÂ  jumpÂ  through hoops painful enoughÂ  to make an immatureÂ  medium cry.</p>
<p>To complicate the situation Slusher recentlyÂ  attacked Gillmor for allowingÂ  an audio ad on the Gillmor GangÂ  podcastÂ  thatÂ  wasÂ  soÂ  boring it madeÂ  his testicles shrink.</p>
<p>Slusher saidÂ  that he&#8217;d rather hear GillmorÂ  talkÂ  about EarthLink for 30 seconds than waste time listening to a radio commercial about an internetÂ  company thatÂ  invokesÂ  vague notions of fear to lure consumers.</p>
<p>But user generated ads like the improvisedÂ  rantsÂ  Slusher produced for his formerÂ  sponsor, GoDaddy, areÂ  controversial also.Â  GoDaddy&#8217;s founder Bob Parsons once vigorously defended the interrogation techniques (torture) practiced at a US run concentrationÂ  camp in Guantanamo, Cuba.</p>
<p>Parsons <a href="http://www.bobparsons.com/HowtostirupahornetsnestAself-reviewofmyrecentblogarticlePlusRadioGoDaddysnextshow.html?serendipity%5BsearchTerm%5D=prison">retracted</a> his support for aggresive interrogation practices but<br />will heÂ  cooperateÂ  with the Government if asked to turn over the personal user data GoDaddy has on its customers?</p>
<p>Slusher speaks proactively for his sponsors inÂ  his own voice.Â  Gillmor, on the other hand,Â  lets hisÂ  sponsors produce the ads. Both approaches can beÂ  equally bad. </p>
<p>Eventually, podcasters will have toÂ  find a better way to produce their shows or the best we are likely to getÂ  are better bad ads.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this short video podcast the BetterBadNews panel hear a hilariously  twisted  pitch for compassionate torture, skewering congressional Republicans, lifeless Democrats and the mainstream press for failing in their obligation to act as a check against  abuses of government power.</p>
<p>The panel was also stunned by an astonishingly effective speech delivered by Al Gore laying out a case for impeachment. Gore called on Republicans and Democrats to pull themselves away from their TV screens and take notice of the incremental dissolution of representative government.</p>
<p>A  liberal  &#8220;political analyst&#8221;  on PBS&#8217;s News Hour  said  that  he  couldn&#8217;t  explain why Gore&#8217;s speech wasn&#8217;t covered in the media.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tel-evangelist Pat Robertson recently  introduced a plan to develop a theme park in the middle east  based on actual sites in the Holyland.  But Ahmed Chalabi likes the  project too much to let Israel have it without a fight.</p>
<p>In this satirical 5 min video blog the BetterBadNews team examines how Pat Robertson was outfoxed  by Iraq&#8217;s  unelected  oil minister, Ahmed Chalabi.</p>
