Friday Stuff

This commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Alfred Hitchcock film "Psycho," which I suppose was a fitting prologue for the upheaval we would witness in that decade; this of course is the most memorable scene (Janet Leigh would receive strange phone calls, letters and even tapes from people telling her what they would do to Marion Crane, Leigh's character in the film, until her death in 2004 - she turned over one letter to the FBI, but I don't know if she ever filed charges...also, will anyone ever be ale to explain to me Gus Van Sant's remake?)...



...oh, and once more, a big Happy Birthday wish goes out to Snarlin' Arlen (message to PA Dems - this guy stands a better shot against wingnut Pat Toomey; we'd better "get in the game" on this one, people)...



...and of course, even though Marc Thiessen is a liar and an idiot, that still guarantees him a job at Kaplan Test Prep Daily, as noted here (h/t Atrios...and nice job by Joe Scar on that "liberal" MSNBC network to hoot down Lawrence O'Donnell even though O'Donnell was exactly right)...
