Patriot Act
2005 · Film · documentary · 76 min
Directed by Jeff Ross
Inspired by the passing of U.S.O. perennial Bob Hope, Friars Club roast-master Jeffrey Ross takes Drew up on an invitation to join the U.S.O. in their ongoing mission - delivering punch-lines on the front lines. Having just bought a new camcorder, he travels to Iraq and captures his rare, intimate, and often times hilarious experience on camera. Armed with nothing but that camcorder and some jokes, Ross shoots his own life-changing experience as he travels alongside six other well known comics, entertaining battle weary G.I.'s stationed in some of the most remote parts of the Sunni Triangle.

Does Netflix drop single episodes for anything with a continuous story line. A show like Patriot Act can't have a full season drop at once.
> I thought the official IRS form filler was discontinued?
IRS's own service was discontinued after an agreement with tax preparation companies that they would provide such a service (the IRS Free File Program) if your AGI is below 69k (nice).
Which they do, but try to hide as much as they can via negative SEO and various dark pattern, so that you unknowingly get directed towards "free" offers which quickly require you to pay.
There's plenty of information all over the net. And I thought I remembered LWT doing an episode on that recently, but apparently it was Patriot Act… in what I now learn was the last episode, that would certainly explain why it's been so long I've seen an episode pop up in my feed.
I love how a single episode of a show can piss off the government of a country. Just recently Saudi Arabia banned an episode of "Patriot Act" and now this. Tyrants are really sensitive I guess.
I think everything can be summed up like this...
you're planning to take a 7 day cruise to the Bahamas with your family of 4 this Christmas.
but you recently watched Patriot act episode on cruises and were shocked that a typical cruise generates equivalent of 1 million cars worth of greenhouse gas per day.
so you reached out to the cruise company and asks them what they can do to mitigate this appalling disregard of the environment.
the cruise company informs you that there's now a vegetarian or vegan premium meal plan that would cut down your green house consumption by about 10%.
you loved the idea and happily pays extra for the vegetarian meal plan, knowing that you're now doing good for the environment and thus saving the planet.
