I think that, when it comes to a model of governance of sorts, Mel Brooks pretty much nailed how Mr.-Puppy-Dog-Eyes-With-The-Shiv views his would-be role as U.S. House Speaker (here - more typical stuff here...ridiculous that the toddlers in charge of the U.S. House have brought us this farce, and it's even more ridiculous that they may end up not paying an electoral price for it)...
...and I also thought that Joe Biden was smart to decide not to run for prez, as noted here, partly because, for all of the good things he's done, he can't escape the stench of his support for that credit card "reform" bill from 2005 - makes me recall the 2012 VP debate commented on by Cenk Uygur here; interesting that Biden and Ryan should be in the news again at the same time, though for different reasons of course...
…and we’re only going to “set the wayback” for a year ago for the latest installment of This Day in Doomsy History, in which Ed Schultz (formerly of that supposedly liberal network MSNBC) talks to Sen. Bernie Sanders about the ridiculous pension obligation that congressional Republicans attached to the postal service in an effort to ultimately drive it out of business (an update is here; Sanders was successful in keeping open the 82 facilities planned for closure); this is one of the many stories that need reporting of this caliber, but of course (as far as Comcast is concerned) it’s a lot easier to just kill (metaphorically) the messenger than trouble the beautiful minds of most of the American sheeple (a more recent update is here...and in a related story, as they say, I thought this was a good idea too)…
…and I also think (lots of "thinking" today :-) that, sometimes, a simple approach is best when it comes to authoring and recording a good song, and I think that’s on display here.
