Yeah, this thing looks cool as Hell, but… Where do you go when you need a tire?
Can you even imagine trying to find a leak in this thing?
Patents for this kind of monobike go back to the 1860s, but college design and engineering students have been reworking it forever…
Imagine downhilling in San Francisco with this beast!!!
The Twin Cities’ newest conservative talk show host has an idea for managing the thousands of protesters coming to the Republican National Convention in St. Paul in September: machine guns.
Chris Baker, formerly a talk radio host in Houston, took over the morning spot on KTLK in early March. On Friday, he took issue with the debate among Minneapolis law enforcement personnel as to whether police should limit the use of Tasers and pepper spray on protesters in Minneapolis (link to audio file). Baker’s suggestion is violent suppression of what he calls “stinky protesters” that are part of “an industry funded by billionaires and communist organizations (and) they are well-coordinated and incredibly dangerous.”
Baker continued: “So we’ve been talking about police protection during the upcoming convention when all those stinky protesters are coming. There seems to be a big debate over whether or not police officers will be able to wear helmets, carry shields, use pepper spray and Tasers on this crowd. You know, I’ll tell you what works on a crowd like this — a machine gun, that always works very well.”
Baker’s co-host, “Jordan,” agreed: “Mow ‘em down, baby!” he added.

Fired from his last 2 radio gigs in Houston and Tulsa, Reich-wing nutbag Chris Baker has landed in the Twin Cities at KTLK, and Friday he joined drug-addled gasbag Rush Limbaugh in advocating violence against liberals and other Democrats when he suggested the police use machine guns against protesters headed for the RNC National Convention in St. Paul.
And it didn’t end there, he suggested “A good ole boy network is what you need and hand out some ax handles.”
The FBI is considering an investigation, but with the BushCo DOJ, don’t hold your breath.
Earlier in the week fellow KTLK ‘host’ Jason Lewis made another enlightened comment with a violent sub-text. To a caller talking about Stillwater blogger, activist, and military veteran Karl Bremer, Lewis said:
Jason Lewis: I don’t lead a jihad against individuals unless they happen to be in the public arena. Of course, you could make the argument this guy’s now in the public arena. But if citizens are truly fed up with a small minority of socialist kooks in Stillwater, led by this Karl Bremer character who’s got a bizarre obsession with Michele Bachmann, I can’t be held accountable for what citizens might come up with.
**********
Bremer’s personal information was also posted on a conservative web site where posters were told they should contact him using the information and tell him what they thought. The info included his email address, his HOME address and phone number.
So, the GOP are now leading jihad against the ‘loyal opposition.’ If they can’t win elections, they seem to think they can win in the streets. Apparently they don’t realize that many liberals are also gun owners. These calls for violence in the streets DO NOT fall on deaf ears. There are plenty of ‘crazies’ out there just looking for marching orders. These people are insane…
As the summer heats up, all it takes is one idiot in the streets reacting to something another idiot says on reich-wing talk radio!!!

AMERIKA? (a reference for those WTF’ers)
Amerika, also known as Der Verschollene or The Man Who Disappeared, was the incomplete first novel of author Franz Kafka, published posthumously in 1927. The novel originally began as a short story titled The Stoker.

“Screw the world, riot in Denver!”
Rush Limbaugh is ALOT of things, a drug abuser who should be in prison is just one…
“We have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.” –Rush Limbaugh, 5 Oct 95
Say what you will about this walking anal cyst, he is a professional broadcaster. He knows EXACTLY how far he can go before he commits a federal crime, and he waddles up to the line every damn day.
Like his call for RIOTS in Denver this week… YES, he DID say it. Then he pulled back and let the raving responses seem like ‘crazy talk.’ This from a guy who is profitting from the sales of t-shirts and hats calling for “OPERATION CHAOS.” A DIRECT call for people to DISRUPT the function of a democracy. He knows EXACTLY how far he can go.
When rational Americans rise up and say this guy is ‘inciting rioting,’ he knows that the temporal distance will save his cystic ass! Rush can say it in April, if the riots occur in August, he’s NOT responsible.
Here is Rush manipulating one of his Dittoheads into speaking for him:
CALLER: I know the Drive-Bys are gonna start coming after you about your “dreaming of riots” in Denver, and they’ve already started in the Denver papers. But it’s kind of strange that the Denver police and fire departments are already doing training for crowd control and they’re bringing in police officers from outlying suburbs to supplement the Denver Police Department, and they’ve already been advised that they have 750 so far and they’re going to need another few thousand for the convention.
RUSH: Right. And this is all because I am “dreaming of riots.”
CALLER: There you go, and they’ve also put the Colorado National Guard on a 24-hour alert for the thing, so…
RUSH: It sounds like a paramilitary operation out there being prepared here to deal with –
CALLER: No riots.
RUSH: — raucous protesters at the Democrat National Convention in Denver.
CALLER: Yeah, it’s just really strange that the –
RUSH: Isn’t that funny? Isn’t that amazing?
********** YEAH RUSH, FRIGGIN’ HILARIOUS!!!
There has NEVER been a bigger CYST on the backside of Democracy…
I’ve worked in radio, television and digital video for over 30 years, and now I’ve joined the Blogosphere… What you will find here is information and links to topics I think are significant in today’s world. Politics, religion, technology and anything I find interesting will get a mention here at rickmyersradio.com.
I prefer to be called a progressive, since the Reich Wing Noise Machine has spent years trying to turn the word ‘liberal’ into a derogatory term. The terms ‘liberal’ or ‘conservative’ are too black and white, we are all more shades of gray. I served in the US Air Force, done jury duty. I vote and I own guns. But I am a PROGRESSIVE… I believe in a strong national defense policy, but I am a PROGRESSIVE… Conservatives do NOT own the Flag! Corporations are NOT people!!!
It’s ‘WE the People,’ not ‘In Corporations We Trust.’ Ike was right, the enemy is RIGHT HERE in the USA.
I don’t expect everyone to agree with me, I’m just trying to start a discussion. All are welcome…
Thanks for stopping by…
And here we go…
