Aya el Batrawy Interview – Update from Tahrir Square, Egypt, one year anniversary #Jan25



 

Middle Eastern correspondent Aya el Batrawy (@ayaelb), who correctly predicted a year back that El Baredei would not become Egypt’s new leader, called in to give an update on Tharir Square.  This to celebrate the one year anniversary of the #Jan25 uprising. So often we lose sight of the long struggle that continues after the bright lights and Anderson Cooper has left the scene for more theatrical pictures.

Buddy Roemer tells “Shock and Awesome” that both parties are corrupt, totally bought and connected at the pocket book.



 

TJ and The Tux got their second chance to speak with Governor Roemer this week and he was fired up. To date Roemer has been shut out of 21 Republican debates and because of that he is starting a unity ticket by picking a Democrat for his Vice Presiden- tial running mate. Erskine Bowles of the Simpson-Bowles debt reduction plan is on the short list. Instead of being about a party, Roemer’s 8 years as President would be about America. In Roemer’s words, “Obama is owned by wall street. Mitt Romney is the 1% and Newt Gingrich is a lobbyist for the 1%. Meanwhile big business controls all of the reforms in Washington, banks are still too big to fail and corruption is all encom- passing”. Each party is blaming each other and Roemer is the only candidate that is “free to lead”.

Shock and Awesome Interview 12/23/11 – Sue Terry on North Korea



 

Sue Terry is a Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University. She has spent time at the CIA and NSC (National Security Council) and CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) working on policy and political developments in Northeast Asia and North Korea. To put it plainly, she knows enough about the situation on the Korean peninsula that US Presidents seek her advice.

 

We were lucky enough to track Sue down a few days ago and ask her pressing questions about the passing of Kim-Jong-Il. Mainly we wanted to settle a bar bet.  Could Kim-Jong-Il be considered the greenest dictator on the planet? The Tux claims that he could. It is well documented by the reliable German news source Der Sphincter that the man did not defecate. That means that he never personally put any greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Also, Kim-Jong-Il had a fear of flying so he took an armored train everywhere. Again, saving fossil fuels! KJI always wanted to be a movie star but it seems he simply missed his opportunity. Instead of kidnapping US journos Laura Ling and Euna Lee for attention he should have called Albert Arnold Gore Jr. and starred in “An inconvenient truth” as the future of human evolution.  Imagine a world without flatulence and irritable bowel syndrome.  A world where people are no longer tied to their toilets and you never again have to hold your breath while peeing after being exposed to the most toxic haze of unfriendly gas in a bar bathroom.  Forget that North Korea under KJI regularly tormented South Korea and the rest of Asia with its bottle rocket nuclear program.  Forget that the man flew in fresh lobsters and caviar to meet his train regularly while his people ate coal for three meals a day.  We just lost a man who reached singularity of the colon.  Ray Kurzweil, eat your heart out!
