Sunday Stuff

Yes, I know we’ve beaten the “Mitt Romney screwing the proverbial pooch at the Boca Raton fundraiser” thing to death, but I still thought Chris Hayes had some interesting comments about it here (probably the best argument for the moment for public financing only of campaigns)…



…and happy 60th birthday to Richard Nixon’s “Checkers” speech, probably the first bit of political theater for the TV age…keep in mind that it worked…



…and I don’t know about you, but I need a laugh (though Tricky Dick was kind of humorous in that speech…hat tips to Time and Buzzfeed), so…



…and happy 63rd birthday to Bruce Springsteen (and I give you one of the best expressions of populist rage set to music I’ve ever heard).
