Ripe Ingredients in UK Riot Souffle

Debt debate and when cultural shifts become economic.

What happened to US. Was it Clinton, Reagan or before. If you grew up in the 70's you felt the shift, away from the collective, towards the individual, when we earned the term "the me decade."

Tony Blair and his tribe; how various gangsters and banksters run 'their' world.

Thieves and robber barons continue to take their piece. In Venezuela, The Rabbit and his gang run a prison which could be construed as a resort. A British national inmate, a drug trafficker, says its the by far the finest prison he's even done time in. No need to leave; drugs, cockfights, sex, outdoor pools; gratification replaces incarceration. 

TSA, Teabag Muzak, Traffic and Max Keiser's desire to crash the market

I love Jon Stewart, love his-middle-of-the-road-why-don't-we-all-get-along-message.  It rings positive, moderate and decent, it feels like the America I grew up in; safe, secure, gorged with opportunity and upwardly mobile. I listened to his interview with Rachel Maddow last night, they discussed themselves, mainstream media, it was nice.

For texture, I also made time for Max Keiser. Max is less moderate, very interested in driving social media traffic and how financial 'truth' is shared.  Max is a US expat living in Paris, film-maker, broadcaster, former broker and options trader who hosts On the Edge, a news and analysis show hosted by Iran's Press TV.'
