Monday Stuff

I know this is a few news cycles old by now, but I thought this was a really good commentary by Seth Meyers on the LGBT ordinance that was defeated in Houston last week; of course, it couldn’t be debated on the merits or else it would have been upheld, so of course it had to be turned into a bunch of OOGA BOOGA TEH GAY IS COMING TO STEAL YOUR BATHROOMS nonsense…



…and Tamron Hall on MSNBC brings us a report on the Rising Tide Car Wash owned by John D’eri, in which most of the employees have some degree of autism, including D’eri’s son (the report also focuses on the ever-increasing number of adults in this country with it – kudos, for the commendable behavior that is on display here and not the threat that this affliction poses in ever-increasing numbers, unfortunately)…



…and as long as “Deadeye Dick,” Rummy & company are back in the news again (courtesy of Number 41, as noted here), I think it’s time for another installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” from 11/8/07 (this should follow all of these bastards to their graves)…



…and I thought this was an interesting story about how the guitar once used by John Lennon during the early days of The Beatles just fetched $2.4 million at auction at Juliens in Beverly Hills, CA – it was probably used to compose this tune among many others (yeah, it’s a “boomer” thing I know, but these songs will always sound fresh and new to your humble narrator).
