Friday Stuff


Cenk of TYT talks about the response of “little Marco,” among others, when confronted with the survivors of the Parkland, FL mass shooting (utterly beneath contempt – everyone but the kids, basically, including Anderson Cooper who told Sen. Bill Nelson he didn’t have to answer the question, or whatever…the fact that Nelson was sympathetic I’m sure doesn’t excuse Cooper’s cowardly move to let Nelson off the hook; facing angry constituents comes with the job when you’re a pol, something that Cooper, a member of our courtier Beltway corporate media, has apparently forgotten)…



…and “crisis actors”? I have a two-word response to a comment like that, and that response isn’t “happy birthday”…


…and God, “Joe Scar” actually found the proverbial nut on the Parkland shooting, in terms of who does better financially, though, of course, he had to play his cutesy BS with Mika-Scar at the end (my response to this…more here and here)…



…and brace yourselves; I know this will be a shock, but the Trump & Congressional Repug tax cuts are probably not helping your paycheck, according to David Pakman (only 37 percent of voters have seen their income increase – good for Amazon, though, apparently; them that’s got shall get of course…)…



…and Rachel Maddow tells us about “blue” state governors sharing gun background check data (NY, CT, RI and NJ – can PA be far behind, I hope? And Cuomo has been a bad actor at other times, but I think he deserves kudos here, especially in the last minute)…



…and for anyone out there with the Showtime premium cable TV network, I highly recommend another great documentary from that channel, and that’s “Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars,” which gets into a lot of personal detail including the awful way he was treated by his mother, his deep friendship with Jimi Hendrix and his even deeper relationship with Pattie Boyd…we all knew she was the inspiration for “Layla,” but really she was that for the entire Derek and the Dominoes album, which included this great tune among so many others.
