Wednesday Stuff


Our country fought and won World War II (with a lot of help of course, but it took our leadership). We created the interstate highway system as part of an infrastructure network that was once the envy of the world. We also took the lead in instituting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (the 70th anniversary of its ratification is this December 10th, by the way). We also put a man on the moon, multiple times as it turned out.

Now in 2018, however, our “president” addresses the United Nations, and he is laughed at. And he (and by extension, we as a nation) completely deserve it (and let's keep this in mind too)…



…and Seth Meyers comments on the latest Trump idiocy at the UN, as well as Bill Cosby’s sentence, among other items…



…and I don’t think an entire family has taken out an ad against its brother in a political campaign, but that what Paul Gosar’s siblings did in Arizona as noted here (and the predictable response is here)…



…and Farron Cousins tells us about a laughably bad Photoshopped pic of the Gropenfuhrer supposedly rescuing a victim of the flooding from Hurricane Harvey (more here)…



…and don’t worry, there’s nothing to see here, just a third woman making a charge against Brett Kavanaugh (more here and here – interesting polling analysis by Cenk)…



...and happy 70th birthday to Olivia Newton-John – best wishes for good health (here).
