As I said last night, Al Jazeera actually reported on the Occupy stuff as opposed to treating the protestors like they were nothing but a bunch of stinking hippies...
...and it looks like the Current/Al Jazeera thing has hurt the fee fees of Falafel Bill (here); here’s something a bit dated in response, but still pretty potent.

Friday Stuff
Good call by Al Sharpton on this one – I’m sure an apology won’t be forthcoming, but it’s certainly overdue…
…and I, for one, apologize for wasting everyone’s time with Falafel Man, but hey, he’s the one who keeps saying this garbage, not me, so (and nice stuff from George “Sulu” Takei also, telling the truth I mean)…
…and it looks like “Mr. Puppy Dog Eyes With The Shiv” is at it again, finding a typical Repug inside-out feeble pretext to try and blame Obama for the incompetence (to say nothing of hard-heartedness) of Ryan’s own party – I predict that the residents whose lives were turned upside down by Sandy will receive a fraction of the funds they need because of these monsters in the House, and I’d definitely love to be wrong…
…and I continue to be impressed by Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota – more good stuff here (and I know about Current being purchased by Al Jazeera America; hate to break the news, but A-J is actually doing reporting on how everyday people in this country are being affected by what our government as a whole is doing in pursuit of class warfare; in particular, they actually interviewed some of the “Occupy” protestors instead of merely demonizing them, as the news networks with initials for names did)…
...and here are more right-wing shenanigans happening below the media radar…

Thursday Stuff
Of course, Joe Scar shills for the utterly horrid Chris Smith, and I already commented on Peter King, but Scarborough is right about Frank LoBiondo – when I used to keep track of the congressional votes (can’t do that anymore either – sigh), LoBiondo’s votes were pretty much in the middle of the proverbial road all the time, which isn’t easy…even if Orange Man comes through with a vote and the funds are approved, it definitely won’t be enough – and yes, Christie and King are right, but this mess has the Teahadist imprimatur all over it, and even they don’t have the intestinal fortitude to call out the racist-sign-and-funny-hat crowd – one more thing: it’s truly shocking to see Jim Cramer, of all people, as the voice of reason – the clip is basically over at 10:30 (here)…
…and kudos to Harry Reid for doing the unglamorous bidness like this that makes government work (interesting stuff, I have to admit)…
…and turning in a whole other direction, I give you the latest from the gut nut fetishists (here)…
…and happy birthday to Stephen Stills; this goes out to the National Rifle Association (as well as Orange Man and his pals, including - dare I hope? - Mikey the Beloved).

Wednesday Stuff
I agree with Peter King on virtually nothing, and he’s more than a bit of a blowhard at times, but he’s nobody’s fool either (here...well, not usually); Rachel Maddow first pointed out that John Boehner really isn’t very good at his job, but she of course was blown off as just another stinking liberal - I would say this is proof regarding how inept Orange Man really is…
…and I believe King said something about an “angry man,” didn’t he…
…and besides Boehner’s blunder of Biblical proportions on Sandy, let’s not forget about this; Ed Schultz provides some background in a report from last year with Stephanie Schriock of Emily's List…
…and as far as the failure to renew the VAWA is concerned, it made me recall this tune.

Tuesday Stuff
The part that applies to the U.S. is between about 2:00 and 3:00 – looks like those numbskulls in the House have another chance to save this country from yet another putrid cave-in by the Dems (here), with the Repugs using the party in charge of the Senate and the White House as fronts for their own wretched behavior…
…and it’s nice to see the son carrying on in the father’s tradition here (looks a bit like him too – kinda spooky)…
…and more “the truth hurts” commentary from Lawrence O’Donnell here…
…and here’s some music to listen to while we nurse our hangovers (and watch the Mummers, for Philly area folk).

Monday Stuff
I know there’s at least one video out there (from Lawrence O’Donnell, I think) where he and some panelists are having a good time laughing about some of the political nonsense over the past year. I happen to think humor should be left in the hands of the professionals, unless it’s snarky to make a larger point as opposed to snark all by itself.
In case anyone hasn’t picked up on this by now, I happen to think these issues are serious. I honestly don’t understand people who just say, “oh, what difference does it make, nothing will change, and my life won’t be affected regardless of who’s in charge.”
Really? I repeat – really?
Even when Democrats act in a cowardly fashion (all too frequent of an occurrence, I realize), they’ll still manage to act in the interests of the majority of this country more than the party of the Teahadists ever will. And the fact that there are people out there who still don’t get that, with everything that’s going on and has occurred already, is truly epochal ignorance as far as I’m concerned.
So, with that boring pretext out of the way, I give you some moments of humor over the prior year as recalled by Jon Stewart (a little too much bleeped out in one segment, but I can more or less get it)…
…and I’m not sure what tune I should feature as we bring the year to a close, so I’m just going to go with this; thanks to anyone and everyone who has spent any time whatsoever at this blog over the prior year – I’ll try to add as much content as I can as permitted by my for-profit activities and other responsibilities; best wishes to all for a happy and safe year of 2013.

Sunday Stuff
If I were still doing Do-Gooders and Dregs, this guy would be really high on my Do-Gooders list for this (maybe next year, but I’m not promising anything)…
…and we have all kinds of phony-baloney congressional investigations, but for what it’s worth, I demand that one take place for this (there should be FBI monitoring of the Teahadists, then – anybody who denies that we live in a corpocracy after watching this should continue to adjust their pillows and hit the snooze alarm once more...wonder if my support of OWS makes yours truly an "anarchist"?)…
…and we know what happily-soon-to-be-ex U.S. House Rep Allen West is, but I wonder if Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s blood clot is just a symptom of the “Benghazi Flu”…West is such a nitwit…
…and it takes about a minute to get this going, but it’s worth it.
