Saturday Stuff

I more or less skimmed over this New York Times story today about corporate lobbyists whining about supposedly onerous rules that the Obama Administration was trying to implement concerning their activities, and it made me recall this Brave New Films clip from Bernie Sanders from a couple of years ago (and by the way, the High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR upheld the Austin campaign finance decision in Michigan, though that did not one bit of good because it was overturned by the horrendous Citizens United ruling – and yes, Chris Van Hollen and Jim Moran truly make me want to gag for reasons noted in the Times story)...



...and this is pretty much what I think of the complaints from the lobbyists (like to see these cretins get “tuned up” in a similar fashion as depicted in this video)

Friday Stuff

Yep, as usual, I would say also that the choice couldn’t be clearer (here)...



...and gee, Repugs, don’t overdo it in your support for Willard Mitt, the all-but-named presidential nominee of your party (and yep, not surprised about this, unfortunately – nothing unites the knuckle-draggers like their hatred for that alleged Kenyan Marxist socialist community organizer)...

...and speaking of Willard Mitt, I give you the following (pathetic)...



...and here is Rachel Maddow’s report on voter suppression in Michigan (actually, it’s more like Democracy suppression – and I thought the Repugs didn’t like “czars”)...

...turning to jazz (were we?), legendary saxophonist Gerry Mulligan would have been 85 today...



...and returning to this century, I give you the following (overdue for a strange video, so here goes).

Tuesday Stuff

Well, since we don’t have K.O. again, I guess it’s time to turn to Cenk Uygur, among others; I grant Cenk his points, but let’s give Obama some credit here for saying this stuff – yes, it would be nice if he would back it up…maybe he will?...but it really is hard to do that when his opposition is certifiably insane…



…and speaking of his insane opposition…



…and to answer your question, yes, I’m still steaming about this one (and Kennedy is supposed to be a centrist?)...



...and deep down, this is a tune about yours truly, believe it or not (sorry, no video again).

Monday Stuff

Given this latest atrocity from the High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR, I think it’s a good idea to revisit these wise and prescient words from Sen. Al Franken around the time of the Elena Kagan confirmation hearing – haven’t heard much lately from him, though (and Number 44 actually thinks the bunch in the black robes isn’t going trash the individual mandate before they get out of Washington, D.c. in a couple of months...let’s just say that I’m not optimistic)...



Update: My bad, I meant to include this John Cole link earlier.

...and even though there’s no video, I’m sure you can “fill in the blanks” as well as I can here.

Sunday Stuff

Yes, this has some bad words, but I thought it also had some funny stuff – it’s time for “The Onion Week In Review”…


Penn State T-Shirt Awkwardly Looked Away From

…and sorry I neglected to note the passing of Earl Scruggs earlier this week…I’ll do so now.
