Good evening, welcome to the Wednesday (EBD) edition of Late Nite Radio. In tonight’s musical selection, a curly-headed 68-year old Minnesota native sings a self-penned tune about undying loyalty to the bitter end in a transitory world.
Here then, for your listening enjoyment, Bob Dylan sings When The Deal Goes Down.
The thread is open for your Reader Tips.

Late Nite Radio before 9:00pm? Isn’t this more like Early Evening Radio?
SDH: And how does EBD post at “12:01 AM”? If SDA has discovered the secret of time travel, I want to know!
SDH, it’s simple, really: the studio is located on a barge in the north Atlantic.
I was just flipping channels on the tv and happened upon an interview between a couple of MSM folks. They were both agreeing that Obama was the greatest speaker of all time. Seriously. So I though I would provide a link that I have been going to for several years. It has mp3’s of great speeches. MLK, Wilson, Kennedy, Nixon, MalcomX, Huey P Long. Absolutely brilliant stuff. I actually enjoy listening to people I don’t agree with speak because they just speak so well. Obama isn’t even close to them. Anyway, here it is.

I see, LNR studios adrift in the Atlantic, guided by the winds of Zephyrus.
This would account for the small discrepancies in posting, the studio location changes each evening.
Conservatives target our Internet freedom
Matthew Claxton, Vancouver Courier

I love being treated like a criminal. At border crossings and airports is when I feel most at home. I like intrusive questions, strip searches, official paranoia, and constant suspicion. Hey, if I haven’t done anything wrong, what do I have to worry about?
So I’m happy–so happy I could punch holes in the wall–about new legislation introduced in Ottawa last week by the federal Conservatives. It will give the government and the police unprecedented access to all my electronic communications and personal information. Yipee!
The government calls it legislation “to fight crime in the 21st century.” In fact, the bill itself is called the “Investigative Powers for the 21st Century (IP21C) Act.” I suppose the Conservatives want it to sound like The Jetsons, but their tactics have more in common with the Keystone Kops.

Gosh, after 67 years he can almost hold a tune! That’s the best I’ve ever heard him. They say his real name was Zimmerman, or some such, but he took Dylan after the poet Dylan Thomas who was a far,far
better wordsmith, but not as good as Gerard Manley Hopkins, who I think Thomas was trying to imitate.

WHO AM I?
*I was born in one country,raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women. I became very close to my mother,as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.
*Later in life,questions arose over my real name. My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate,reliable birth certificate.
*I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but i practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn`t follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
*I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them. That was before i decided it was time to get serious about my life and i embarked on a new career.
*I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that i had difficulties accepting what my father abandoned me as a child.
*I became active in local politics in my 30`s then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40`s. They said i had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.
*I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet i was a powerfull speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though i was a magnet and they were small roof tacks.
*I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.
*At first my political campaign focused on my country`s foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.
*But what launched my rise to national prominence were my veiws on the country`s economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.
*I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was cinched tight.
*I called mine “A People`s Campaign” and that sounded good to all people.
*I was the surprise candidate because i emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.
*I knew that, if i merely offered the people ‘Hope’, together we could change our country and the world.
*So, i started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downstrodden, poor, ignorant to include “persecuted minorities” like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & i needed to keep them unknown, until after i became my nation`s leader.
*I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what i really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people i associated with.
*I`m glad they didn`t, because i became the most powerfull man in the world. And then the world learned the truth.
Who am i?

Negotiating with Terrorists
The Obama administration ignores a longstanding — and life-saving — policy.
By Andrew C. McCarthy
As the Iranian government’s murderous repression of the Iranian people continues, critics right and left agitate over the deafening silence of an American president who, as a candidate, derided the Bush administration’s ambitious democracy promotion as too timid. They speculate as to why Barack Obama won’t speak out: Why won’t he condemn the mullahs?

‘Loved the Dylan. ‘Don’t have this CD. You can hear the older, more mature man, humbled by a tumultuous life, bowing to the passage of time and softening his outlook, “precious hours,” “forgiveness,” as he approaches the time when the deal goes down.
“I’ll be with you when the deal goes down”: G*d? “Dylan,” aka Robert Zimmerman, knows the Jewish Scriptures (they, or allusions to them, are everywhere in his songs) and went through a Christian phase (“A Slow Train Coming”) in the late ’70s, early ’80s.
It’s interesting to see what happens to famous folks when they “find Jesus.” I’m thinking of Dylan and Van Morrison (“Avalon” and others). They see the light but gradually move away from it. I’ve often wondered about this, and figure it’s because of the derision and disdain of their fellow entertainers who would approve of their new-found religion if it was Hinduism, Buddhism, or an amalgamation of New Age quackery but just can’t deal with Christianity.
‘Little wonder that towards the end of his life — isn’t Dylan almost 70? — he’s looking to eternity. I liked the gentleness of this song, the mature realization that the deal IS going down and that there’s “someone” there to ease the passage, an echoing of Jesus’ promise, “Lo, I am with you always.” Dylan would not be unaware of them.
BTW, Vitruvius. Thanks for the song …
“Arctic temperature is still not above 0°C – the latest date in fifty years of record keeping
By Joseph D’Aleo, AMS Fellow, CCM
The average arctic temperature is still not above (take your pick) 32°F 0°C 273.15°K–this the latest date in fifty years of record keeping that this has happened.
Usually it is beginning to level off now and if it does so, it will stay near freezing on average in the arctic leading to still less melting than last summer which saw a 9% increase in arctic ice than in 2007. H/T to FredM and MarcM”

Hold onto your wallets. Here it come again.
A blow against climate-propagandists’ access to schools in the UK:
“Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth became a big part of the British secondary educational landscape when it was made part of the official curriculum. This was big victory for those who feel the world is in imminent danger because of anthropogenic global warming. However, the High Court of London recently said ‘not so fast.’ Steward Dimmock sued under Section 406(1)(b) of the Education Act 1996, claiming that the movie is a form or political indoctrination. That law says that school governing bodies and head teachers ‘shall forbid… the promotion of partisan political views in the teaching of any subject in the school’.
“The court ruled that 1.) in order to show this movie to the children teachers must make clear that the film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) If teachers present the film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination. 3.) Nine inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children.”
Rashid Faridi of Climate Sanity lists those nine inaccuracies in the film that were cited by the judge, and provides links for each of them to his own previous analysis/criticisms of An Inconvenient Truth:

Alberta is urging Ottawa to ban armored vehicles
countrywide. That should apply to money carriers,
shouldn’t it? If it should not, what other
businesses should be excluded? And would only
businesses be immune, or some individuals too?
Who those individuals will be and what criteria
for exemption will be established?
Motivation behind this fascist infringement on
our liberty is, OF COURSE, safety: the armored
vehicles carry more weight and are therefore
unsafe. There is no mention that an average SUV
can carry up to 2000 lb of cargo in the stock
configuration, while the weight of an average
armor package on the market is around 500 lb.
Do the politicians ever consult with the
scientists before opening their mouths?

“N.Korea warns of ‘dark clouds of nuclear war'”
SEOUL (AFP) — North Korea warned that “dark clouds of nuclear war” are gathering over the peninsula and vowed to strengthen its atomic arsenal as it marked the anniversary of the 1950-1953 conflict.
Rodong Sinmun, newspaper of the ruling communist party, accused the United States and its ally South Korea of trying to provoke another war with their pledge of a US nuclear “umbrella” over the South. “A touch-and-go situation has been created on the Korean peninsula… with dark clouds of a nuclear war gathering as the hours tick by,” it said in a lengthy commentary marking the anniversary, carried by the official news agency.
The paper said a new war could break out any time and the North would continue to strengthen its nuclear arsenal.”
