Friday Stuff


This clip from Meidas Touch kind of goes over what we already know I’ll admit when it comes to the "party of Lincoln" and how they just love Vlad The Butcher, but it definitely bears repeating as far as I’m concerned...



...and this report from the German news service DW tells us that, among other things, Vlad The Butcher is redeploying his troops to the east of Ukraine to the Donbas region in an effort to gain a foothold of sorts in that country, having failed to take Kyiv...and yeah, that appointment of Alexander Dvornikov as head of Russian forces doesn’t bode well for mitigation of the slaughter anytime soon...



...and Rachel Maddow (who apparently is back for a limited time) tells us about brave Russians speaking out against the war, partly through food labels in supermarkets...



...and Ana tells us about privately owned but publicly funded charter schools (and how the hell is that even legal?), in this case Hillsdale College expanding into charters and laying on the conservative propaganda pretty thick of course (starting In Tennessee – yeah, that figures...and yeah, more than anything else, the charter school movement is anti-union big time...the last minute or so of this clip about fighting back is pretty important)...



...and Jayar Jackson and David Doel of Rebel HQ discuss Greg Abbott’s ridiculous bus stunt with the immigrants (and yeah, it’s nice that Abbott is indirectly helping these people on the Texas taxpayer dime, but of course Abbott, as you might expect, will do nothing but utterly lie about that)...



...and I haven't checked in with John Oliver in a loooong time (nothing against him, I wish to emphasize), but his latest report on data brokers is pretty interesting, and the payoff at the end is terrific (pretty sure this is NSFW/H)...



...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 4/10/12, in which our corporate media politely called out Former President Nutball (43 that is) here over his stupendously awful tax cuts and what they did to the debt...



...and speaking of money, I just wanted everyone to know that the tax filing deadline was extended to Monday April 18th; hope you end up OK...we did fine, fortunately.
