Saturday Stuff

Boy, does Lawrence O’Donnell have good ideas on improving those debates, as noted here



…and I think his new recording comes out on iTunes and everywhere else in about a week – can’t wait.

Friday Stuff

Rachel Maddow tells us about “True The Vote” here, and it looks like this Teahadist bunch of fools and frauds needs a lesson in “physician, heal thyself,” as noted here (and that Ohio scumbag Jon Husted ended up firing the two Democratic workers who protested Husted’s early voting restrictions, and I believe they sued - good)…

Update 10/15/12: What bastards (Husted and Mike DeWine, I mean).

…and speaking of the teabaggers, it looks like they’re going to descend on a location near the court house in Doylestown, PA tomorrow morning at around 9:00 – if you’re able, it would be great to appear and counter-protest (parking in the location is kind of sucky, though) – I could probably put up this video every night for one reason or another if I wanted to, but it’s particularly appropriate now…the great Spencer Tracy nailed these characters a long time ago…



…and while I stand by what I’ve said about the debates, well, I don't know if this makes up for his vote for that fraud of a bankruptcy bill all those years ago, but I think it comes close (and of course, all Eddie Munster can do in return is sit there with that dopey grin on his face - hey Catholic Church, you still support that fraud and his running mate?)

Of course you do - why do I even ask (sad face)...



…and a couple of days ago, I missed what would have been the 95th birthday of Thelonious Monk– enjoy.

Thursday Stuff

(I also posted here.)

I don’t like the “play” either – the “actor” for PA-08 isn’t any good (harking back to this - and to do something about it, click here)…



…and apparently, that fine, upstanding Roman Catholic man from Wisconsin is (based on the teenaged one’s preliminary reports) getting his lunch handed to him by Biden tonight, maybe because he tried stuff like this...and this is a nice way to take advantage (Rob Zerban is running against Ryan for the seat currently held by Mr.-Puppy-Dog-Eyes-With-The-Shiv-In-His-Pocket)…



Update: And here is the post-debate analysis from the wingnutosphere...



Update 10/19/12: And speaking of Ryan - well, heckuva job here (what a shame...and what does that story tell you about Ryan's supporters, by the way?).

…and Rachel Maddow tells us about the scientific discoveries of enlightened individuals, none of whom apparently reside in the U.S. House Republican Party, as noted here (surprised?)…

…and no “message” songs tonight, just rock (no video – and they’re coming to town apparently).

Wednesday Stuff

RIP Alex Karras (here is the quote from Mongo that everyone remembers)…



…and by the way, I saw this and admitted I had a hard time trying to determine if this was a parody or an episode of “Meet The Press” with Dancin’ Dave…


In Bipartisan Spirit, Obama Makes Deal To Get Kicked In Balls

…and let’s not forget that the greed head scams of Willard Mitt and his pals had some real-world impact on people who can afford it the least, as noted here (and here is more on the Repug presidential nominee – and why does that idiotic smirk look so familiar?)…



…and speaking of which, today is the tenth anniversary of the passage by Congress of the Authorization to Use Military Force in Iraq, as noted here (and yes, the Bushies will waste no time reminding us that Democrats voted for it also…43 and his fellow pirates “broke” Iraq, so they own it…well, they did at least, but guess who “owns” it now?).

…(by the way, I’d intended to put up “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath since I believe that’s an eminently appropriate tune, but I didn’t like any of the videos – I included Jackson Browne last night I know, but this is an excellent substitute).

Tuesday Stuff

Looks like Willard Mitt has finally broken through with a prized voting demographic (true dat – heh...bad language alert)…


…and here’s something to keep in mind while Mr. Puppy-Dog-Eyes-With-The-Shiv gets ready for his debate with Biden, and vice versa – yeah, I know the “47 percent” thing is old by now, though Obama needs to bring that up big time in the last two debates…and yes, I know about this too…still thoroughly nauseating to hear Repugs talk about a “moral tipping point” when these characters themselves have the “morality” of feral alley cats)…

…and happy birthday to Jackson Browne



…and John Lennon.

Monday Stuff

Gee, I wonder if Willard Mitt Romney would like to shake that Etch-A-Sketch of his upside down and erase this de facto endorsement of the Obama jobs record from 2006 (here)…



Update 10/10/12: The takeaway for me are the graphs from here...

…and let’s not forget this, by the way (something to keep in mind while reading this)…



…and speaking of foreign policy…well, as the astute Eugene Robinson puts it here, “domestic policy, you talk about stuff you don’t know anything about, you make an ass of yourself; in foreign policy, you start a war” (also, Willard Mitt, try reading this before you blame Obama for the SOFA)…



…and memo to Team Obama/Biden – this should be your anthem for confronting the Romney/Ryan Lie Factory while you prepare for these phony baloney TV debates (I still think that, if it has taken anyone this long to make up his or her mind and they need the idiot box to do it for them, then they’re definitely part of the problem and not part of the solution).

Sunday Stuff

(I also posted here about a local matter.)

So Mary Matalin thinks that Professor Krugman is a “liar,” huh? Why, because he backs up what he says with dumb stuff like, y’know, actual verifiable facts and data?...



(Also, concerning Bill Orally, I think the “Worst” citation is something to remember considering this.)

Oh, and in the “turnabout is fair play” department concerning Matalin, I give you this.

…also, my church did it again today, giving a (“wink, wink”) on-the-sly endorsement to the Repugs, taking a shot at President Obama; an offertory prayer intention was added for the president to “respect the life of the unborn,” plainly implying that Obama doesn’t (and the mass celebrant also warned us today about the supposedly grave threat of “human cloning”).

I’ve been attending Mass for very nearly half a century, and I’ve never heard such an intention offered for the President of the United States before.

So, this goes out to my parish which (“wink, wink”) isn’t supposed to (“wink, wink”) endorse a political candidate for the (“wink, wink”) Republican Party – heckuva job (may have to crank the volume a bit).
