George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[conscious comic]

NEWSFLASH!

Camden, NJ Is No Longer Most Dangerous U.S. City

The CQ Press's annual study of U.S. crime statistics shows that Camden, NJ is no longer the most dangerous city in the countryâ€"it's just the second most dangerous city. St. Louis, Mo. with 2,070.1 violent crimes per 100,000 residents was #1 (the national average is 429.4). Other cities in the top five are Michian's Detroit and Flint and Oakland, CA. The safest city? Colonie, NY. NYC is #256 while Newark, NJ is #29.

So much for the "Gateway to the West"

I created a new real-time LIVE chat that includes audo and/or video if you so choose. Most people don't use the option, but it exists. Otherwise, you just type in real-time. There is NO registration, no names or email addresses, NO IP logging  - just  real-time chat.

The site always exists, whether I am there or not - you merely sign in as a guest or ANY name you choose at any time. The chat is always "open" whether anyone is in the chatroom or not. So come try it out - MUCH more fun than refreshing a damned web page and MAYBE getting a resonse a day later.

This is NOT competition to this site - merely an alternative for Snoory lovers and haters to gather and talk.

The site is:

tinychat.com/coasttocoastam

no capital letters of space in your screen name - just small case letters and numbers.

Enjoy, and maybe we'll get this thing going! All are welcome. I/we'll deal with any trouble makers. Otherwise, it's free speech - ESPECIALLY when I'n not around, which is MOST of the time.

     You cannot go wrong with rock and roll guy, R. Gary Patterson, and I was hoping he'd stay on a little longer because I really wasn't in the mood for any more conspiracy stuff, but Brad Thor was just as cool.  He went off on Islam and said Osama bin Ladin was probably the best practitioner of that religion, and any Muslim that wasn't killing people wasn't down with true Islam.  Tough stuff.  George said the Bible was also violent because God sent the flood to kill everybody.  Whatever George.  Grow up.
     On two occasions this week George has equated movies for fact.  On Monday he cited Oliver Stone's "W."  for something that Dick Cheney had supposedly said, and tonight he had this exchange with Gary Patterson:
     "So did they ever find Eddie, from Eddie and the Cruisers?"
     "Yeah.  In the movies."
     "No.  I'm serious.  Did they ever find him?"
     "Eh.  People disappear, George."
     Patterson was being nice.  There was no such thing as an Eddie and the Cruisers, and while it is good sport and fun to hammer George, I'm starting to think there's something really wrong with that boy.
     Happy Thanksgiving, coastgabbers.

Digesting my Thanksgiving dinner last night and catching up on a few recent shows...Did anyone else catch GN interview with Brad Thor wherein GN mispronounces the author's book Athena, not once but TWICE? First calling it "Athinna" and then even after being corrected by Brad, adding an additional syllable, he pronounces it "Atheeneea". ARGHHHHHH!!! I mean, we're not talking an obscure, unheard of figure here. Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom - we're talking a major player here!

Did George graduate high school? Maybe his difficulties can serve as a reminder of the importance of a good education! Or perhaps he has dyslexia or some other learning impairment that we should be aware of? It would be helpful to understand the root cause of his impairment. That way, we could possible feel some empathy and more importantly, his public display of stupidity could be performed as a kind of Public Service Announcement. Hey George...you might qualify for public funds or a grant of some kind, think about it!

[b_dubb]

the man has said that he has a speech disorder.  maybe he needs to schedule some time with a speech therapist?

someone once said dyslexia is just a word used by the middle class to hide stupidity.  in george's case, this seems to hold up.

Great suggestion as it appears to be a very serious case - perhaps requiring extensive therapy and a possible long term leave of absence from work?

[starrmtn001]

snoory doesn't need therapy.  He needs to be F-I-R-E-D!!!

I'm a librarian, and yet my husband is dyslexic and one of the smartest people I will ever know.  Dyslexia has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence.

i don't mean to suggest that i necessarily agree with that assessment of dyslexia as a condition, so i hope u didn't take it that way.  i don't know enough about dyslexia to say one way or the other. 

your response prompted me to do a bit of googling in order to shine some light on this cynical perception of dyslexia and where it might have started.  here's a link.  regardless of what's actually true, i've heard numerous people approach the subject of dyslexia from a position of doubt in recent years.  it seems to be an increasingly popular view to take, although my observation is entirely anecdotal.

by the way, i think this quote summarizes the article:


He added: "There are all sorts of reasons why people don't read well but we can't determine why that is. Dyslexia, as a term, is becoming meaningless."

[MV/Liberace!]

oh, and one more thing...


george noory sucks.

There are probably a lot of people who claim Dyslexia that don't have it that really are just stupid while there are many who legit have it that are very smart. I would suggest that all these sorts of learning disabilities and syndromes are co-opted by people who want an excuse. Like how twenty years ago every kid had ADD right after they discovered it existed, now it's autism.......it's a shame that these problems become, dare I say, trendy, and hurt the folks who really have them.

you nailed it.

Dr Garland Landrith practically fellated George during tonight's show. This mutual admiration society stuff get so old.

One thing about Art, whether is was a guest or a caller -- he bristled at compliments, particularly fawning, cloying and ass-kissy stuff.

[valdez]

Dr Garland Landrith practically fellated George during tonight's show...

Yeah, but that's how you gotta play Noory.  Garland was in control and the show went well.  He gave me a little more insight into the wave/particle duality of quantum whatever and he sounded a whole lot like a young, hyper, Richard C.

One other thing....if it wasn't for these "hill people" we'd be sipping tea and singin' "Long Live The Queen".....These families banded together and learned to fight like Native Americans against the clueless British army. Mr. Purty Mouth.

while a portion of the people who fought against the british in the revolutionary war may have resembled the 'hill people' in your photo, not everyone in the continental army fit that description.  people tend to lump everyone in the American South into the 'hill people' group and it just isn't true.

That's true. There were plenty of urbane drunken Boston/New York/Philadelphia street fighters who did pretty well too.

     Robert Zimmerman, Linda Moulton Howe, and Richard C. Hoagland all talking about that arsenic bacteria found in California that everybody is fussin' over.  It seems to be important stuff and those are just the folks who's opinions I was interested in hearing.  On a side note, Richard seems to be one of the few regulars who will openly take slight jabs at George's dimwittedness (no way that's a word) and I think George is beginning to not like it too much.

 

[ringthane]

I was half-listening during the 'poking fun' part you're referring to... I only caught George's response. What a dope.

George's interview with Tom horn was just terrible. There were stretches where Noory apparently went to the studio breakroom and rifled through the fridge, or went to an all-night drive-thru, because he clearly wasn't in the studio to ask questions.

[TaoOfLuxLisbon]

I chose to listen to nothing after awhile. George's repeated comments of "Technology is moving so fast!" over and over was too much to take.

Get ready for endless recounts of Talking Tina or Chatty Cathy and "It was a cookbook........FOR HUMANS" tonight with another exciting Twilight Zone show.

I was driving home listening the other night and he had on some guest talking about how the CIA or military or whoever now recruits physically fit young women athletes to become stealth undercover agents called "Honeypots" or "Honeytraps", I think?

They had a Beavis & Butthead-esque exchange where the guest commented something like "George, if it came between a meeting with you, or a meeting with someone like Angelina Jolie, sorry but I'll take my chances with her!", or some such bullshit. And George responded with a chuckle that he understood. You could practically hear them fapping in the background.

[MV/Liberace!]

hmm... i get sort of tired of people using angelina jolie as this sort of "go-to gal" when attempting to make a point involving a steamy woman of some sort.  ok, she's obviously got something going on... but i never quite found her to be my type.

Jolie is cool, I would not say no to her, but, for the most part you're right; there's people in my everyday life I find much hotter than Jolie... theres 3 ladies in my office that I'd put above Jolie lol

And Noory is doing "Scariest Moment" line. Jeez, the old fail-proof ol topic again, huh Geroge? #failagain

[Stevenqbosell]

Ok now theres a guy on who says "Right?" every 15 seconds, who gave a 35 second intro on how great Noory is.

I forgot why I didnt listen to Noory anymore. I remember now.

Sports talk will have to save me tonight

[ringthane]

WTF was up with the text message question aired tonight at 3:52 am with the number of sports franchise billionaire owners?

Are they *trying* to destroy this show? And the two callers they screened before the inane text question...

I think I only listen to C2C now so I can bitch about it and post here. Terrible, terrible, terrible effing show.

[MV/Liberace!]

"Technology is moving so fast!"

not only is that a throw away statement from george devoid of meaning, it's also an illustration of just how old school and out of touch he really is. 


as i sit here, 31 years old, immersing myself in the technological world in which we live (and understanding it), i feel and observe the exact opposite of what george cavalierly purports to be reality.  technology is improving at a snail's pace relative to what i expected a decade ago.  as far as i'm aware, there is NOTHING commercially available (or expected to be soon) that fundamentally changes the technological paradigm.  in the hardware world, things are pretty much the way they were ten years ago, only much faster.  sure, we could point to advances in the mobile space in an attempt to blow my observation away, but are the advances in mobile technology really THAT unforeseen?  did we really not see that coming?  ok, devices are getting smaller, faster, and they are always connected.  big deal.  while i do enjoy my android device and all of the functionality it affords me, it's just the result of a natural, expected progression.  nothing more.

perhaps i'm just being a complete buzzkill here and it's unreasonably hard to impress me technologically.  maybe i'm spoiled; a spoke in a generational wheel by whom technology is taken for granted like so many sips of clean water. 

or, perhaps, george noory is a dummy.

i had an A&P professor who would insert, interrogatively, the word "yeah?" approximately once every 45 seconds as she lectured.  as someone who has tourette's (i guess i've never mentioned that about myself), i can understand any number of ticks people might have... but THAT one took some getting used to.
