Monday Stuff

So “tinsel town” finally decided to give “The Button-Down Mind” his long-overdue recognition, huh? Two terrific situation comedies weren't enough – he couldn’t get it unless he appeared on that dippy show (yes, I said that – kind of funny, but I get the joke after about five minutes).

Well, at least he got it – congratulations (here’s a bit from back in the day)…



…and do you want to know why I detest our Beltway courtier media? I give you Fluffyhead’s response to Barney Frank’s perfectly valid question here about why the “banksters” need so much damn money for themselves versus everybody else (a segment timed for the fifth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, which ushered in the financial ruin that still traps many of us)…



…and it looks like PA guv Tom “Space Cadet” Corbett is going to accept Medicare expansion after all, based on this, but only under the condition that those covered can prove they’re looking for work (nice).

In addition to the fact that this requirement likely would not survive a court challenge, it is also pointlessly cruel (and to do something about it, click here – this all makes me recall this video)…



…and kudos to Martin Bashir for this (yes, despite it all, I believe in “American exceptionalism” a bit too, though with qualifications, of course)…

…and with this in mind a bit too also (NSFW)…



…and I don’t know about you, but I’m getting really tired of putting up this video in response to stories like this.
