Thursday Stuff


Yeah, the debate was apparently just as pitiable of an exercise as was forecasted – kudos to HRC though for, as TYT says, doing her homework and actually showing up prepared; once more, as in 2012, a Repug presidential nominee who gestated, if you will, in the conservative “thought bubble” saw it go POP when it met reality in the general election…



…and sorry, but I respectfully disagree with K.O. here – “Donald Drumpf” should be forced to see this through and get the electoral beating he thoroughly deserves…



…and if “Fergus Laing” is really interested in an example of grace in defeat (yeah, I can dream, can’t I?), here is the most memorable example I can think of, and that is the concession speech of one-time Dem presidential nominee Sen. Hubert Humphrey in 1968 – the lines that everyone remembers, and which are the most noteworthy as far as I’m concerned, are between about 3:05 and 3:20 (and remember the horrors that preceded this in that dreaded year)...



...and Rachel Maddow reminds us here on the “New Black Panther Party” stuff in Philly (actually scary to see how utterly stupid some of those people in Alaska are, to say nothing of everywhere else in this country…and of course, the idiot behind all of this faux outrage was hired by Trump to supposedly ensure the integrity of the vote on 11/8 – uh huh, when pigs fly…and try to tell me again how mainstream “Maniac Megyn” Kelly supposedly is)…



Update 10/21/16: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!


…and Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich weighs in on “No Corporate Tax” Pat Toomey (R-Elevator); to help Toomey’s opponent Katie McGinty, click here...more here)…


...and congrats go out to the one and only Bob Perkins of WRTI-FM in these parts (the jazz part of the station), for this - here is a tune for this great occasion (the title is certainly apropos anyway..."Lady Day" with Ben Webster -- tenor saxophone, Lester Young -- tenor saxophone, Vic Dickenson -- trombone, Gerry Mulligan -- baritone saxophone, Coleman Hawkins -- tenor saxophone, Roy Eldridge -- trumpet, Doc Cheatham -- trumpet, Danny Barker -- guitar, Milt Hinton -- double bass, Mal Waldron -- piano and Osie Johnson - drums).
