I honestly believe that Obama gets it on Iraq, seeing as how he correctly didn’t support Dubya’s Not-So-Excellent Adventure in Mesopotamia to begin with, but I still think he needs to be reminded as to what we should and shouldn’t do; namely, get our people out and beat it out of there like a bat out of hell, which is pretty much a literal and not a figurative interpretation (here)…
...and to me, the payoff for this Jon Stewart bit on open carry comes with about 15 seconds left (and I think this clip is particularly timely in light of this and this)…
...and I know we're going to be talking about the Hobby Lobby stuff for a little while, but I think this is a particularly good segment because it involves knowledgeable and educated women talking about it as opposed to cowardly, meely-mouthed male politicians and pundits...
…and I hope anyone inclined to applaud Rand Paul for any imagined “glibertarian” impulse of his (opposing NSA spying, for example, as well as actually getting it right on Iraq as noted above) also keeps in mind moments like this one – to say that Paul doesn’t have the intellectual “heft” to serve in public office, period, let alone the U.S. Senate or the White House, is being kind (kudos to Rachel Maddow for doing here what our other corporate media should be doing on a routine basis)…
…and back to Chris Hayes – here, he talks with Monifa Bandele and Sam Seder about why we don’t take our vacations the way we should in this country (often because we don’t have the time to use in the first place)...
…and happy belated 65th birthday to “Professor” Roy Bittan of the “E” Street Band...
…and speaking of vacations, this is the beginning of mine – I hope to crank this up again on or about the 13th…hope you manage to enjoy the holiday weekend and the coming days as well.
