Tuesday Stuff

(Not to suck up or anything, but so far, I would say this is the post of the year.)

Turning once more to the Flint disaster, I thought Ed Schultz had a really good interview with Dem U.S. House Rep Dan Kildee of Michigan about the entirely-made-by-Rick-Snyder water crisis, including the fact that Snyder is turning to “dark money” to fund a PR campaign in response (typical Repug reaction to think that branding and marketing can fix everything – and let’s not forget this)…



...and in a related story, the next time you hear anybody bitch about how rotten unions supposedly are, remember this...



...and I think it's appropriate to revisit this item in light of this (yeah, I know that field is generally awful, but "Calgary" Cruz? Really?? And with that utterly lame "Princess Bride" shtick too? And kudos to Mandy Patinkin - leave it to Cruz to take first place in an Iowa three-way...heh)...



…and do you want to know why Bernie Sanders made such a strong showing in Iowa? Maybe this has something to do with it (and this)…



...and happy 50th birthday to Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots, with the Teletubbies tripping on acid (or something)...



…and Gene Kelly died 20 years ago today (among other things, a truly great Democrat from an era full of those kinds of folks).
