Thursday Stuff

So the latest faux right-wing hero Dr. Ben Carson said the following (here)….
"They got the wrong philosophy (re, ISIS), but they're willing to die for what they believe, while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness," he said as Republican officials from across the country interrupted him with applause. "We have to change that."
Hmmm...to me, that sounds suspiciously like the following (but don’t hold your breath waiting for a fraction of the heat on Carson for his words that Maher ended up taking for his)…



…also, I thought this was a well-done segment by Rachel Maddow about the aftermath of the vote for war with Iraq in this country as compared to the vote in France for expanding the fight against ISIS (basically, one vote in opposition each time…part of me thinks everyone who voted for the AUMF should have sung The Star-Spangled Banner way back when in imitation of what France did, but in this country, I think that would have made the ultimate perversion even worse)…



…and this was truly funny stuff from Jon Stewart on FLA; the really funny part is that he did this on a show where Marco Rubio was a guest (have to check out that interview later)…


…and given that the prior clip featured the Sunshine State, here is perhaps its most famous performer favoring us with a tune written by the guy I put up here a couple of days ago.
