Thursday Stuff

I’m sure Merrick Garland is an eminently qualified jurist and may very well end up to be a reasonable selection for the U.S. Supreme Court. However, as we know, there are no reasonable political actors in the “party of Lincoln” these days, and I think Thom Hartmann’s analysis is correct (as is this, and this is interesting also).

Even as his time grows short, Number 44 seeks to burnish his creds as a moderate – he has never been a progressive, and he never will be…hard to consider all of this to be anything but another example of President Hopey Changey pissing on his base once again…



...and Chris Hayes interviews Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who talks about how the U.S. Senate has gone "the extremist route" and how that ties into Trump (Nail. Hammer. Head.)...



...and RIP Frank Sinatra Jr.; I always gave him credit for trying to establish his own identity while trying to crawl out from under the shadow of one of the most prominent figures of the 20th century (and a little sense of humor can go a long way too)…



...and happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody (was tempted to go with Dropkick Murphys, but I changed my selection at the last minute).
