Wednesday Stuff

Sam Seder tells us how the Obama Administration "shrugs its shoulders" at Malaysia’s human rights violations while trying to pursue a deal with them on the TPP (Sen. Robert Menendez has acted pretty cowardly on the Iran deal, but he did the right thing here, believe it or not)...



…and I’m a little late with this, but I give you Chris Hayes's report on the California "shade balls" used to protect their ever-more-precious H2O out there (clever idea)…



…and yep, it’s time once more for “This Day In Doomsy History” from 8/19/09 (K.O. brings us “Worst Persons” with Bobby "Don't Call Me Piyush" Jindal complaining about a high speed rail line that supposedly ran from Disneyland to Las Vegas when rebutting Obama on the stimulus awhile back...but then, it seems like he wanted a piece of some high speed rail action himself; Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade of Fix Noise took the side of a lady who compared Obama to Hitler - God, this is REALLY old! - in front of Barney Frank, who is Jewish, and Frank gave her the treatment she deserved; and Flush Limbore topped it off in an even more juvenile fashion on the same subject...uh, Flush? God called. He said you can keep your "talent.” By the way, how many sponsors did you lose THIS week?)…



…and RIP Yvonne Craig – not a huge name I know, but she was all over the place in the era of the “Dippity Do” ‘60s, particularly as Batgirl of course, and also as Marta, the green “Star Trek” alien who loved Kirk and tried to kill him with the dagger under the pillow…condolences (and a little bit more of my childhood dies with her – sniff…found this nice little tribute video).
