Monday Stuff

Melissa Harris-Perry, sitting in for Rachel Maddow, gives us a recap of Irene's devastation (to help those most severely impacted, click here...Mrs. Doomsy and I felt sick over the flooding in Vermont in particular - kudos as always to Bernie Sanders...Moon Unit Bachmann is a dope, and Ron Paul wants to party like it's 1912)...

...and we're hardly innocent ourselves on the issue of food waste in this country, but I still thought this was an interesting story timed for the end of the Ramadan observance (I once heard someone say the threat of lawsuits is the reason why we dispose of food from buffets and such instead of donating it more often in the U.S., and the person who said this to me was someone who worked at a restaurant and a person who I don't consider a crank generally)...



...and oh yeah, with the 10th anniversary coming up, it looks like it's time for the "9/11" industry to kick into high gear once again, including T-shirt sales, even if it is for a good cause (and why would anyone outside of Fix Noise take Former President Nutball seriously here, still; by the way, note to Current - your video editing has been sloppy lately...clean it up)...



Update 8/30/11: Ah, the hearty stench of jingoism and bigotry (here)...

...and as long as I'm on the subject of anniversaries, The Beatles played their last live concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on this day 45 years ago (the video below shows pics of the event...and speaking of the Fab Four, I can't wait to check this out).
