Friday Stuff

Looks like the Repugs need another lesson in outreach to African American voters, as noted here (and as you watch this clip from about two years ago, keep in mind once more that Joy Reid’s show was cancelled by that supposedly “liberal” MSNBC network)…



…and Rev. Al (whose show is also due to end) gives us more on the Justice Department’s report on the Ferguson, MO police department…



…and here is another clip from about two years ago on the NRA and the “Connecticut Effect” in light of this recent disgusting episode



…and I thought this was an interesting story that made me recall this tune.

Thursday Stuff

Neither can I, Ed – kudos to former Reaganite Bruce Bartlett for speaking truth to duuuuh (here)…..



…and I give you the following in response to Cleveland Police Patrolman's Association president Steve Loomis’s claim that 12-year-old Tamir Rice, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, was responsible for his own death (here)…



…and maybe instead of trying to make fun of Al Gore again, maybe “Senator Snowball” should pay attention to this (NSFW)…



…and let’s hope this marks the end of my “winter” songs for the year after today.

Wednesday Stuff

Every time I think that it’s impossible to overstate the utter repugnance of Governor Bully, I realize just how wrong I am (and about that ridiculous “settlement” with ExxonMobil, this tells us that the affected residents may see absolutely nothing, much like some still reeling from Hurricane Sandy I’m sure)…



Update 3/9/15: I once worked with a guy I otherwise respect who thought that former NJ governor Jim McGreevey was the WORST THING EVAH and SO CORRUPT because he came from Woodbridge Township (and this guy thought it was hilarious when McGreevey came out, by the way), but this person never seemed to have a negative thing to say about Governor Bully. And I’m sure that somehow, even in light of this, he still has nothing negative to say.

…and sticking with Rachel Maddow, here is her report on the recent speech by “Bibi” (and let’s not forget this about former Repug U.S. House Rep Dan Burton, by the way)…



...and I think Jon Stewart also gives Netanyahu the treatment he deserves here (somewhat NSFW at the very end)...


…and I think this is an appropriate tune for the occasion.

Tuesday Stuff

Check out what “Man Tan” Boehner has to do to keep his caucus in line (here) – too funny…pass the popcorn…



…and I know a lot of this comes from a “60 Minutes” report by Steve Kroft that I already posted, but I don’t think it can be repeated often enough; I give John Oliver credit for devoting so much time to such a crucial issue, even with humor that I think is a bit misplaced (here)…



...and just in case you thought that debtor's prison was something that only existed in a Victor Hugo novel, think again...



…and I happened to come across this guy who I think is local – kind of a catchy tune.

Monday Stuff

Yeah, Hosni Mubarak Walker is pretty godawful, but like any other Repug, he considers his foul rhetoric as merely “red meat” for the base (and the “badger state” had a chance to bounce him last year but failed to do so – oh well)...



…and hey, did you hear the one about Billo watching the nuns getting shot in the back of the head? He continues to be an utter fraud…



…and here is some of the reality point of view in honor of “Bibi” arriving here to give his damn speech…



...and did you know that this week is National Sleep Awareness Week? Well, neither did I, but here is a tune for the occasion.
