On Saturday, December 16 on Free Radio Olympia at 98.5FM from 4-6pm, we present Alex Jones interviewing Tom Flocco on his story about Rusty Nelson, alleged photographer for a White House child sex ring. Nelson was arrested right after the apparent suicide by Hunter S. Thompson, who had intimate details of this child trafficking group. Jones also talks with former Nebraska state Senator John DeCamp, who discusses the strong evidence of high level government pedophile rings, and, how they tie in with former White House reporter Jeff Gannon. Also featured is Greg Syzmanski from the Investigative Journal interviewing Noreen Gosch of Des Moines, IA and Patricia Johnson-Holm of Lynnwood, WA, whose boys were kidnapped in the 1980's, possibly by the pedophile ring discussed in the first segment of the show. The mothers talk about how the local authorities of their respective cities and the FBI, attempted to suppress the evidence and discredit them.

Think Progress » John McCain’s War On Blogs

John McCain has made clear that he doesn’t like the blogosphere.

Now he has introduced legislation that would treat blogs like Internet service providers and hold them responsible for all activity in the comments sections and user profiles. Some highlights of the legislation:

– Commercial websites and personal blogs “would be required to report illegal images or videos posted by their users or pay fines of up to $300,000.

"I am being forced into a position where I would potentially function as the investigative arm of the military," Olson said. "That is a position that is absolutely antithetical to a free and functioning press. When the press becomes the eyes and ears of the government, then it creates a profound chilling effect for people who may be willing to speak to journalists. The Army's attempt to subpoena journalists in the case of Lieutenant Watada could help to eliminate the voices of dissent, and it sends a message to all members of the military that if you decide to speak about your opposition to the Iraq War we're going to throw the book at you and we're going to do that by using journalists to testify against you."

A new urban life form has recently come to my attention. The leaves of Fall are clogging up the roof gutters of my house, leaving them constantly filled with water during this exceptionally wet season. Recently I noticed some crows and seagulls picking at "things" in my gutters in a very agitated way. So I decided to finally go up and unclog the gutters.

As the now-fetid rainwater cascaded down the spout as I removed the rotten leaves, I noticed something odd on the ground. Little silver flopping fish had been pulled down. They were about an inch long and had a surprised expression-- but not half as surprised as me!

So check those gutters, fellow rain dwellers.
