Wednesday Stuff

Kudos to the Rutgers students protesting Our Gal Condi’s commencement speech there next month (here) – yep, we know what it probably will amount to in the end, but the protest matters…



Update 5/3/14: Geez, I was wrong (it happens) - score one for our side (here - yeah, Rice is a "distraction"...yeah, that's it).

…and by the way, I’ll "see" the wingnuts the Leland Yee stuff and "raise" them this, in terms of stories supposedly not covered by our national media, which I think would present Not Your Father’s Republican Party in yet another unfavorable light, and richly deserved too (commentary is a bit snarky and NSFW also, but I think it’s fundamentally right)…



…and I don’t know what happened to the clip in the beginning of President Obama – kind of broke up a bit – but the rest of the video is well done; kudos to Mayor Reed, who is quite correct to emphasize what needs to be done to the congressional Republicans who continue, in their dunderheaded stupidity, to block a federal increase in the minimum wage…



…and is anyone in the mood for kind of a perversely dreamy tune loosely inspired by a “spaghetti western” or two from days gone by? Well, tough – here it is anyway.
