Episode 256: It's In The Cards

When one ponders stuff, it's best if one knows the actual facts of whatever it is one ponders, as opposed to made-up crap stuffed into one's head by others. Otherwise you might as well use a tarot deck and see the title of Episode 256: It's In The Cards.

In this episode, I read from: An AP News story about the creditors getting their small business lawsuit settled; a Justice Department Press Release about how they are jumping into the fray to reduce fees; and a Reuters story about the same shit in a different region, the European Union. All the other shit I pondered came straight from my noggin.

In the opening, I played: Cory Doctorow pointing out what happens to factuality when businesses get too big to be regulated, that backed by KMFDM's "Attak"; and I'm closing with Vince Guiraldi and his Trio doing "Skating," that from the Charlie Brown Christmas Special soundtrack.
