I realise I'm creating and posting this a bit late (like probably a year late) but I'd like to find out what happened to Current TV on Virgin Media UK, and more importantly how I can access Current TV now without bumping up my TV package to "Bloated Couch Potato XXL".
Current TV was my favourite TV channel by by miles so it was a real shame to see it go.
It'd be nice if Current TV had a pay for content section, I'm sick of watching teaser shorts!I realise I'm creating and posting this a bit late (like probably a year late)... more

Hi there. It’s been a while.
I’m a little fuzzier than last time we talked. I know you might have liked me better clean-shaven, but it’s cold outside, so I ask that you just put up with it.
So a little housekeeping to start. I want to point out that in a past video, I said that congress would never pass a repeal of DADT. Some of you asked that I make a retraction. So here it is: I was wrong about that, and I’m glad to be wrong about that. Now I can say things like “Shouldn’t all our soldiers be allowed to marry whomever they want?”
However, I don’t feel I’m wrong that both parties use wedge issues to fire up their base, and that neither party actually cares about these wedge issues. When Republicans rail against illegal immigration, and then it turns out that they have illegal immigrants working at their mansions as full time staff, that’s not hypocrisy. That’s just flat contempt for the stupidity of the voting population. When Democrats say that they care about poor people, but refuse to talk about Single Payer healthcare, or a living wage, that’s not their playing to the middle. They just don’t care. They’ve got corporate dollars to chase after so that they can fight the next election battle. Which brings me to another point I would like to develop more in a later video-- the real power center of the USA isn’t in Washington, DC. Those familiar with the term, “Soft Power” will recognize that the place where the bulk of the nation’s decisions are actually made is on Wall Street, in New York City. Protesting in Washington DC to be heard by congress or the President, is like yelling at a McDonald’s cashier about the rain forests being cleared for cattle in Brazil. It might make you feel better, but the kid behind the counter isn’t the person making the decisions for the company. He’s only there because that’s where he gets his paycheck. His job is to sell you on the idea of buying the apple pie... which isn’t even really an apple pie, but some sort of strudel in a cardboard box. and Ain’t that America?
One more item of housekeeping. This video is sort of an experiment. I want to see if actually want me to keep making these videos or not. If you do, please subscribe over at my blog for whatever level is right for you. We can work together on this. If I can get say, 60 people to subscribe at $10 a month (that’s $2.5 a week) I’ll be able to afford to quit my job, where I’m currently working 54hrs a week, and find part time work. I can also start making a Punk Patriot video every week.
Currently, I have 5 subscribers at the $10 a month level. They are awesome people who get it. Thank you to: Maike Both, Patti Ellis, Jason Dawson, Michelle Duffy, and Billie Rae Lucoff.
Others are saying, “Wait! Didn’t you get rich with your YouTube Partnership and your thousands of views on your last few videos?”
No. Due to a glitch, google ad-sense never linked with my YouTube channel, and I was never able to collect my massive monthly paycheck of a whopping 38 cents in ad revenue.
And now some of you kids who think everything on the internet should be free, I want to tell you something-- things in real life aren’t free. And if I’m going to work all the time so that I can afford to stay alive, then I won’t have time to make videos. So if you’re okay with that, please don’t donate, and I’ll go away.Hi there. It’s been a while.

The Wall Street Journal plans to charge US$17.99 a month to subscribe to the iPad version of its paper, according to a report by…wait for it…The Wall Street Journal. At the end of an article looking at newspapers and advertisers who are ready for the iPad on launch day, The Journal cited sources “familiar with the matter” to reveal its own pricing plans for the device.
The newspaper charges $29 a month for a paper subscription, but only $1.99 per week to access the site on the iPhone. The WSJ, The New York Times, and other major newspapers have been given early production models of the iPhone so that they could test versions of their publications on the device, but this is the first we’ve heard on exactly how much the News Corp. propertly intends to charge.
In the meanwhile, these and other publications are prepping for their iPad launches, and this apparently includes a variety of advertisers who have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to be in the first fiew issues that will be availble once the iPad ships on April 3rd. This, despite the fact that no one yet knows how many devices will sell, let alone how many iPad users will rush to get subscriptions to their favorite newspapers on the device.
Six advertisers, including Coca-Cola and FedEx, have agreed to advertise with The Journal with a four-month ad package priced at $400,000.
