Wednesday Stuff


Farron Cousins tells us that, based on a recent Gallup poll, 53 percent of those polled support development of renewable energy to fight the climate crisis (and yeah, as Cousins says, implying that investment in renewable energy actually ISN’T a stimulus for the economy is pretty much a lie)...



...and Trae Crowder discusses Herschel Walker, running as a Repug for the Georgia U.S. Senate seat against Raphael Warnock...I mean, after Tommy Tuberville won in Alabama (to say nothing of Greene, Boebert, Cawthorn and other low lights from that party), I assume that the methane dispensers supporting these assclowns will vote for ANYBODY with a pulse who has an “R” after their name...not only is Walker not a serious candidate IMO – and yeah, I know he can win anyway – but I think the man is in cognitive decline, and I’m not saying that to make fun of him, but only to point out that he needs professional help and shouldn’t be ANYWHERE NEAR a political campaign for public office (mildly NSFW/H)...



...and Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about that utterly nuts “interview” Maria Bartiromo (of course) conducted with Walker (NSFW/H)...



...and just for the hell of it, here’s more on now-SCOTUS-Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson from Trevor Noah (the DulcĂ© Sloan bit was OK I guess)...



...and as long as we’re discussing Walker and the High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR, I thought this was a cautionary reminder from Lawrence O’Donnell that Almost Silent Clarence Thomas should, at a minimum, be forced to recuse himself from any cases involving Mango Mussolini and the 1/6 insurrection; at the most, he should be removed from the Court altogether (hey, if Abe Fortas was forced to step down for an alleged financial impropriety of about $15K, along with $20K a year for unspecified advice to a Wall Street financier as noted here, then Thomas should face the same fate for this)...



...and on the one hand, I guess this is a tune about renewal, but on the other hand, the lyric about being “drunk on borrowed time” definitely harks back to the first video in this post as far as I’m concerned.
