Dr. Adam Garfinkle and Mortimer J. Adler were discussed on today’s program with regard to the subject of Deep reading. A process by which the reader’s comprehension level of understanding what the writer meant in the text is digested and processed to form a solid conclusion. This is in stark contrast to a superficial reader’s comprehensive ability to form a cohesive thought process. This is where the reader is only skimming the text and not fully comprehending the information. An apparent problem that continues to plague us through out history.
Moronan Monday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 20 April 2020
Who could possibly be behind the idiotic MAGAT protests? Who could cause thousands of Plague Rat protesters to risk not only the lives of others, but their own in COVID-19 disease-laden hootenannies over haircuts? That would take some deep scratch, wouldn’t it? Who has that kind of walkin’ around money? Cui bono? I think I have the answer(s). Meanwhile, another prison is ablaze with the Coronavirus. Careful with those cleaning products, y’all!
Dr. Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Monday 20, April 2020
The fundamentals of Deep Literacy and it’s importance in independent thinking. That’s one thing that history has the ability to make abundantly clear, that if we do not think for ourselves, then someone will most definitely take the opportunity to do it for us and it may have dire consequences for everyone. Join us for a continuing discussion of how we evolve and live during upheaval through out the ages.
Ronaday-on-the-Front Porch, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 17 April 2020
Corona Caligula calls his MAGATS to make biowar on states he considers his enemy. Israeli media confirms earlier reports that Trump’s intel agencies knew about COVID-19 in November. They Let.It.Happen. It is not impossible that Nitwit Nero’s mysterious trip to Walter Reed Army Medical Center on 19 November 2019 was for purposes of providing him some sort of treatment against what they knew was coming. Is there a secret vaccine? An undisclosed drug regimen? How has he NOT gotten the ‘Rona after all his exposures?
Now that the MAGATS are hitting the streets in defiance of Democratic governors’ (and one Republican’s) absolutely constitutional public health orders, now that MAGAT law enforcement officers are in open rebellion against governors, it is imperative that we stay safe. Remain as far as possible for any disease-infested, disease-spreading MAGATS.
ThoRona-in-the-Side Thursday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 16 April 2020
Cannibalism comes to MAGAT-world. Unlike Jonathan Swift, it’s no modest proposal. Senator Grits-for-Brains says it’s time for us to be willing to die for “th’ ‘conmee.” MAGATS in Kentucky emulate the Michigan MAGATS protesting a Democratic governor’s desperate struggle to slow the Plague that Corona Caligula’s negligence allowed to burn through the Republic. The sweet, sweet tears of Mark Meadows. “Thank-you, Doctor Doctor.”
Prayer-Meetinless Wednesday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 15 April 2020
A longform conversation with the one and only Tara Devlin, host of “TaraBuster.” We cover a lot of ground, COVID-19 in NYC, Emperor SoDumb the First’s coming biowar on the states he hates, his desire to be an absolute monarch, the death cult that the MAGATS have become.
Stay home and stay safe!
Trumptanic Viral Tuesday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 14 April 2020
We’ve been in a Constitutional Crisis since 20 January 2017. It got worse Monday night, as Corona Caligula declared his word is Law. We examine just what that means in its historical context. Now comes word that he’s planning on having the Confederate States wage biological war on the states that are trying to flatten the curve and slow the parade of deaths.
Dr Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Tuesday, 14 April 2020
What a mess! Trump melts down . . . some more . . . again; declares himself dictator of the U.S. What occasioned the tantrum? Two questions: Where do you think you get the authority to declare yourself dictator?” and “What did you do in February?” Also: the failure of Mitch McConnell to respond to COVID-19.
For 15 April (Wednesday) Dr. Kevin Shanley and a deep dive into the shadowy world of Chinese governance.
Friday-on-the-Corona-Porch, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid,
A conversation with archaeologist and journalist Dr. John Roby on the humanity’s relationship with plagues and massive cultural changes. The Front Porch gang dives deeply into primaries.
Thorn-in-the-Rona Thursday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 9 April 2020
Sure, COVID19 is awful, but that doesn’t mean everything else isn’t awful, too! Remember the Climate Crisis? Yeah. News is out that based on global modeling (not the sleazy softcore porn modeling like the First Stripper did), there’s a big species die-off in the future if we don’t get our act together. Why does the doc who started the Hydroxyquinone fad look like the doc who wrote Corona Caligula’s “health letter” a few years back. Why did Nitwit Nero go to Walter Reed at about the same time the DIA gave the White House its first warning about the threat from the virus?
Dr Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Wednesday 8 April 2020
An abbreviated edition. Thunderstorms rolled through, scaring our internet into running under the bed and hiding. It made getting the program out more than a little problematic.
Trumptanic Testing Tuesday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 7 April 2020
A killer is on the loose. No, not the virus; rather the man who is using the virus as a weapon against the United States: Donald Trump, hoe of the depraved heart. With a Republican senate that was unwilling to stand up for the Constitution, our only defenses are to ignore him, excoriate him, and stay the hell at home.
Dr. Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Tuesday 7, April 2020
We’ve reached a milestone as a nation where we no longer listen to people who’ve been trained to do their jobs. Medicine is a delicate practice and not one to be taken lightly, yet we’re getting understudied and inaccurate information every day now from our leaders on how to survive a pandemic. I can’t imagine what our Founders would be saying about what we now call our governing bodies except we’re reaping what we’ve sown and the discord will make us or break us. Let’s work together and find solutions that will make history remember what our nation represents, unity.
Too Many Morans for a Single Monday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 6 April 2020
There’s almost too much to do justice with a brief description like this. Foremost, though, a single, simple word changed everything on Sunday. One word, uttered by George Stephanopoulos, accompanied by an utterly unconvincing “can’t ‘member” from a MAGAT and suddenly things make both more and less sense. With this gang, it’s always the Nixon question: “What did he know and when did he know it.” COVID19 is no different. Also, of course, the EVILgelicals have moved into full-on terrorism against our country. They’re all over the place and they couldn’t be more dangerous if they were wearing dynamite belts.
Dr. Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Monday, April, 6 2020
Even though we’re in the middle of a Pandemic people still need people. We’re a symbiotic species whether we like it or not and limiting contact isn’t as easy as we might care to think it would be. We hope that here at The Virtual Center we can alleviate some of the stress that comes along with self-isolation and we can discuss some of the things that matter most to you. Your health, your welfare, and your liberty. Isn’t that one of the aspects that made us a great nation at one time? That all individuals mattered? We still believe that concept and we believe in you.
Friday-On-the-Front-Porch-No-Mask, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 3 April 2020
MAGATS say the darnedest things . . . when they screw up and tell the truth. Lots of voters are bad for the GOP. Medicare for All is a lot more affordable than some might think. Emperor SoDumb the First says “No passports for you!” The idiot governor of Jawjastan reopens beaches. Preacher announces EVILgelical “Woodstock” for Easter Sunday. Talibama has COVID-19 growth rate faster than New York’s. People are clueless about masks and no one in the Multimillionaire ForProfit Media is helping.
Happy weekend, everybody! Stay home, stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask or pop a binky in your mouth if it makes you feel better.
Thorn-in-the-Propane-Tank Thursday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 2 april 2020
I was late to the mic this afternoon. I set out to make a bunch of pulled pork cheesesteaks to share around and promptly ran out of propane, necessitating a trip to exchange the tank (in proper socially distant fashion). Got ’em finished, but it took an hour out of the program. Still, we got our licks in. The Navy punished the captain of the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt for trying to protect his crew. Georgia Senator Kelly Loefler sends warm fuzzies to all her rubes, er, constituents. Texas Gov celebrates taking constitutional rights away from women. America gets its youngest COVID-19 victim (not that MAGATS give a tinker’s dam). “Mexican violence,” asked President Emily Litella.
Empty Cathedral Prayer Meetin’ Wednesday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 1 April 2020
No April Fool’s. Not these days. News Personality changes white supremacist-adjacent governor’s mind, starts domino effect in Confederacy. Putting the “evil” in “EVILgelical,” gospel sharps try to kick start COVID-19.
Dr. Bill Obrien’s Virtual Civics, Wednesday 1, April 2020
Welcome to the end of a full week of programs! We hope you continue to join us in our discussions, either live, or via email, so that we can talk about the problems we’re facing as individuals as well as a nation. Just remember, you aren’t alone because we’re all in this together and we’ll help each other bear the difficulties we face as a team.
Please note in the program the links Dr. Obrien mentions. Articles that give you facts are a precious commodity and theses Journalists are doing a fantastic job of putting together a story that history will mark for generations to come. Be well till we’re together again…..
Trumptanically Distant Tuesday, Head-ON With Bob Kincaid, 31 March 2020
A podcast with potential life-saving content. A conversation with Dr. Michael McCawley about the COVID-19 virus, aerosols, particulates, spread, shedding, water droplets, the physics and ballistics of ejection, and most importantly, how to stay safe during this made-worse-by-Trump Plague. Pay attention. What you can’t see CAN kill you.
