Monday Stuff

I give you the following in honor of President’s Day (hey there, Abe sweetheart)…



…and kudos to Barbara Morrill at Daily Kos for providing the needed context on the latest nonsense from Fix Noise news model Ed Henry (here)…



…and before anyone decides to shed a tear for departing U.S. Senate Repug Mike Johanns (here), remember that he probably had more to do with killing ACORN than anyone else (here), sponsoring those amendments that turned out to be unconstitutional (here)…Johanns is also attached to this bit of political cowardice, which we are reminded of once more by that Murphy fellow…



…and I watched just about all of Rachel Maddow’s excellent documentary tonight on the run-up to the Iraq war (here); she ended up recounting a lot of stuff many of us already knew, but she nevertheless performed a great service – watching Doug Feith now utterly copping out was one of the many repugnant moments, with Feith being one of the biggest fabricators…I kind of wish a bit more of a withering eye had been cast at Judith Miller and Michael Gordon of the New York Times, though.

The bottom line, of course, is that the proverbial buck stops with this guy – here’s a song in his “honor” starting at about 4:17.
