Monday Stuff

John Fugelsang and Stephanie Miller of Current TV provide probably the best analysis I’ve heard to date on the exchange between Secretary of State John Kerry and Teahadist Ron Johnson during Kerry’s confirmation hearing - yep, the Repugs just love allegedly bogus intel, unless they own it of course, which they usually do…



…and speaking of Kerry, he also schooled that numbskull John Barrasso with the latter’s ridiculously leading question on clean energy (here – these words should be heard by every…person…in…this…nation)…



…and leave it to Martin Bashir to provide some reality-based commentary on the fact that Congress has FINALLY approved relief for Hurricane Sandy (ably assisted by Dem rep Joe Crowley)…

…and in these parts, we’re mourning the loss of a true boomer icon, and that would be Alleen Mae Beller of Kansas City, Missouri, otherwise known as Sally Starr; your humble narrator spent many joyful mornings in front of the TV watching her and cartoons galore, back when a parent could put a child in front of the idiot box and a surrogate parent of sorts would impart life lessons of a fashion while mom and dad were busy working or tending to household chores, and said parent didn’t have to worry about too many obnoxious promos for toys, movies, other obnoxious shows, etc. – I’m not sure it’s possible to truly measure the happiness she brought to so many lives (sorry if this sounds maudlin, but it’s the truth…what follows is a video with her novelty hit record from way back when).
