As of today, The BradCast and Green News Report will be on holiday hiatus until after the New Year’s holiday. PDiddie will likely run some holiday toons here throughout (scroll down for them!), but otherwise we’ll be trying to catch up with some family duties and attempting to recharge a bit at the end of another grueling year in the radio and blogging mines.
Our huge thanks to all of you who have supported us over the past year, especially those who have left something in our TIP JAR keep heads above water enough to keep going as long as we can! (Or just try that nifty quick tool on the top-right up there!) We couldn’t do any of this without your support!
As we head into our TWENTIETH(!) year of trouble-making, muck-raking, blogging and broadcasting next year here at The BRAD BLOG, we send our best wishes to all for a peaceful holiday season. Please stay warm and healthy throughout! And to all, a good night!
— Brad, Desi, Ernie, PDiddie and everyone else here at BRAD BLOG World News Headquarters…
Thanks for all the hard work, and Merry Christmas!
While following in Brad and Desi’s footsteps … At the moment I am stopped in my tracks on a project. I have been doing a study of the Jan 6 Committee Final Report. The study technique is to use software to analyze the text.
Next was to do the same with the over-a-hundred depositions that the Jan 6 Committee took.
What stopped me in my tracks is that the deposition text is “screen-shots” … meaning there is no text to process with software.
In other words, if you took a screen shot of this text I have written, you could not put it into your word processor and do a search to find out how many times any word appeared.
You have to have text to do that.
The Final Report was released in text format (in a PDF file) but the depositions are in a PDF file that contains PNG/PDF images of a deposition page.
Anyone know how to set me free so I can move on to phase two?
An example of phase one is: January Six Committee.
All help will be appreciated!
