Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our occasional flights of fantasy show, here is episode seventeen from the second year of the classic Hogan’s Heroes series: The General Swap ¤, II ¤, & III ¤, from 1967 (½ hour).
- Just so you know that tonight’s show isn’t ill-considered, folks, I watched over a dozen episodes of Hogan’s Heroes just in order to select one most appropriate to present to you, dear SDA listeners. Well, and maybe a little bit because I like to watch Hogan’s Heroes; I don’t know about that.
- Once you agree to suspend your disbelief for the sake of the exercise, there are a few really brilliant comedic effects in tonight’s show. Of course, I can’t give them away, because that would spoil it for you, so, I guess, you’ll just have to watch the whole thing.
- Notice the production values, in particular in terms of line, colour, contrast, texture, layout, and shadow. It’s quite well done, don’t you think, looking at it as a popular surrealist television show from that era? I mean, consider the still shown by the link in the upper-right, for example.
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.
Hogan’s Heros.One of the first serial classic comedies.Loved that show.What do we get know?
If true ? What are our people doing there supporting this insanity?

An Afghan law which legalised rape has been sent back to parliament with a clause letting husbands starve their wives if they refuse to have sex.
President Hamid Karzai ordered a review of the legislation after The Independent revealed that it negated the need for consent within marriage.

Capitalism.
It’s not right “greedy corporations” making money, but it’s ok for him to do it.

In the same vein, I personally fail to understand the Hollywood celebrity set. They should kiss the ground they walk on, their fame and fortune being directly attributable to the capitalist society that made their celebrity possible in the first place.

“My prediction, then? Not a V, not a U. But an X. This economy can’t get back on track because the track we were on for years — featuring flat or declining median wages, mounting consumer debt, and widening insecurity, not to mention increasing carbon in the atmosphere — simply cannot be sustained.”

Hogans Heroes was what it was…a cheaply made stereotypical sitcom. Schultz was hilarious when I was 12.
That said….I call bullshit on your above introduction. You are obviously an intellectual heavyweight…then again so is Iggy, so what is that really worth?

One of the stars of this show apparently had a dark side which ended up leading to his death. Hogan’s Heroes was still a great show, though.
@PiperPaul: That star was Bob Crane, who played Col. Hogan.
Savour the irony: a Massachusetts newspaper sees relevance in “The Year Without A Summer.”
Some day, they will come to their senses.

However, a friend of mine recently visited Highgate Cemetery in London – and took some photos – including one from Anna Mahler’s grave – (this isn’t it, but it’s close)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/14903992@N08/3404450899/
Anna was Gustav Mahler’s daughter, and as a sculptor she did busts of many musicians, including Otto Klemperer, who was Werner Klemperer’s father (WK = Colonel Klink) – as he was Jewish, WK only took the part on the condition that Klink would always be played as a fool.

“Hog-tied pork producers calling for bailout
By BILL KAUFMANN, SUN MEDIA
The Calgary Sun
Without an $800-million bailout, you can stick a fork in much of the province and country’s pork industry, producers said yesterday.
As 2,400 people pigged out on free pork on a bun in downtown Calgary yesterday, hog farmers said they’ve already lost two-thirds of their Alberta producers in the past five years while a price and credit crunch and flu scare threatens to roast the rest.
There’s an awareness among pork farmers of bailout fatigue, but aid is vital and relatively cheap, said Jurgen Preugschas, president of the Canadian Pork Council.”

“”Cannibalism and Socialism*”
*”In politics, the tradition of dealing with groups—underemployed people, or people of color, or the rich—has the effect of removing the focus from real, live human beings and placing it on a group of nameless people who do not have to be treated as individuals.
The solution to the group’s problems is to throw money at them as a group or to take money away from them as a group (for example, in the form of higher taxes for the rich) without having to deal with how a particular policy may hurt one person or help another person. Treating all people in a group in the same way is the easy way to make policy, but an ineffective way to deal with the underlying problems that plague the world in which we live.
The major flaw in the political system known as socialism is that it treats people as things in big groups.”

>>> “Transit must allow political ads: court
The Supreme Court of Canada has given a green light to political advertising on the sides of transit vehicles, ruling that a bus is a “public place” where free expression should rarely be curtailed.
The court ruled 8-0 against a policy that two B.C. mass transit agencies, TransLink and BC Transit, invoked to refuse political ads that they feared might make passengers uncomfortable.”

Islam Denial by the MSM/Barrie Examiner.
No use of the words Islam/Muslim* in the report below*.
MSM freely uses the words Protestant, Roman Catholic, etc.,; but, MSM avoids using Islam/Muslim. Why?
MSM are cowards; aiding and abetting Islam.
This is pertinent: “… Warraich is a former Liberal supporter.”
MSM portrays the PC members as the “PC faithful”; faithful is a term used to portray members of a religion.

“Church of England under pressure to accept gay marriage
The Fellowship Of Confessing Anglicans, a coalition of clergy and lay people, are unhappy with the liberal agenda of some churches
The Church of England warned last night that it is under pressure to accept gay marriage.
But two senior bishops – writing on behalf of the CofE – said it is not prepared to abandon its traditional teachings in favour of the idea of ‘gender neutral’ marriage.
They said that the Church of England considers ‘it is vital for the Church to maintain a critical distance from the state and to resist what the state is doing if this is at odds with Scripture.’
The fears over same sex marriage were made public at a meeting of the Church’s parliament, the General Synod.
They come at a time of high tension between Labour ministers and leading churches over gay rights and equality laws
The concerns were raised in a letter from Bishop of Guildford Dr Christopher Hill and Bishop of Chichester Dr John Hinds to leaders of the Swedish state church which has close and formal links with the Anglicans.”

“We’re poised for recovery
[Montreal Gazette]
“Canada lost a fraction of the number of jobs forecasters were expecting.
With the latest employment numbers for Canada, it’s clear that the worst of this country’s recession is over. The job market remains battered and weak, with unemployment the highest in 11 years – but far less damaged than that of the U.S, and now poised to begin a slow recovery.
Canada lost about 7,400 jobs in June, a fraction of what economic forecasters expected. Over the past three months, job losses in Canada averaged just 4,400, “a staggering improvement” from the average bloodletting of more than 90,000 during the previous three months, noted analysts Yanick Desnoyers and Marco Lettieri at National Bank Financial.”

Vitruvius @5:45 Re: Wikipedia Re: Hogan’s Heroes.
Verrrry interesting.
Oh sorry, wrong comedy.
I was visiting my wife’s grandma, in the 80’s, and Hogan’s Heroes came on the TV. Her friend was a German immigrant, who was about 80 at the time. I’ve never seen an 80 year old with such athletic ability. His hand twisted the channel button, while his feet were still in mid air.
Thanks — that was fun!
