Sunday Stuff


I know the pic is kind of hard to read, but what follows is the quote from JFK (just a periodic reminder):
“What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label ‘liberal’? If by ‘liberal’ they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer’s dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of ‘liberal.’ But if by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people – their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties – someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘liberal,’ then I’m proud to say that I’m a ‘liberal.’”
Oh, and did you hear the one about Generalissimo Trump supposedly donating his “personal money” for Harvey victims? What a “laff riot” (more here)…


…and to help those recovering from Harvey’s devastation, please click here



…and Cenk tells us about how the hilariously-inaptly-named Missouri state rep Warren Love overreacted just a tad on the issue of desecrating Confederate monuments (and no, even though I think the monuments are odious, that doesn’t excuse property damage…and kudos to Cenk for reminding us what lynchings were truly all about)…



…and this is pretty shocking, but RIP Walter Becker, co-founder of Steely Dan - look forward to more of their songs this week.
