Friday Stuff

(I also posted here.)

Happy belated 75th birthday to actor and peace activist (and former Marine) Mike Farrell; I part company with him on Mumia, but I applaud him on everything else; the stuff with the late Gore Vidal at the end is good also…



…and I thought this was a well-done video on how the USDA plans to try and manage climate change (kind of humdrum stuff in a way I’ll admit, not helped by some of the speakers, but still important)…



…and leave it to the wretched Kochs with their stinking blood money to outspend the universe in pursuit of a completely red U.S. government, not just the Senate (and somehow, Hangin’ Judge JR and the rest of the The Supremes who voted in favor of Citizens United manage to sleep at night - good point by Karen Finney about how the Dems stupidly turned away from Dr. Dean and the 50-state strategy)…



…and once more, it needs to be pointed out that, when it’s time for serious commentary on the Affordable Care Law, then it’s time for Jon Stewart (yep, Bulls#@t Mountain just had another eruption, for sure...more here)…



…and speaking of comedy, we know that Dana Milbank is a well-kept member of the Beltway media-political-industrial complex, but he noted in a column from here recently that Falafel Man interrupted President Obama 42 times during the recent Super Bowl interview; if Keith Olbermann ever gets the opportunity to interview George W. Bush one day, I guarantee you that that will not happen – I offer the following in response (NSFW - love the stuff with the jacket)…



…and I know, 50 years ago, those lovable mop-tops from Liverpool staged a musical invasion of our country, noted here (as is often the case, the real story is much more complex and interesting)…yeah yeah yeah :-).
