Saturday Stuff

Here’s a fun little game – instead of Number 44, imagine that we’re talking about Former President Numbskull, and instead of John McCain and Saxby Chambliss (a man who once linked multiple Vietnam war amputee Max Cleland to bin Laden, let’s not forget), let’s imagine that we’re talking about Dick Durbin and John Kerry.

Now tell me the universe in which something like this would actually take place with the latter combination...



...and once again, when it’s time for spot-on analysis of a news issue, it’s time for a comedian (one of the most apt gun commentaries I’ve ever heard)...



...and Bill Maher made his point with humor, but Chris Hayes makes his point with serious reporting and commentary (and I sincerely hope neither Jim Howell nor his family or friends will fall victim to gun violence in his state, but if that happens, he will have only himself to blame - and before we "blue staters" get too smug on the whole GOP "preemption" thing when it comes to guns in particular, keep in mind that that's what our beloved commonwealth of PA practices concerning the city of Philadelphia)...



...and yeah, they sure are.
