Saturday Stuff

This is the commentary from Bill Maher that I referred to last night (definitely NSFW, but good)…



…and really, IOKIYAR, it really is…



…and this is just a reminder that Medicare Part D turned out to be a much bigger clusterf*ck than the ACA has so far (and of course, with the typical two-faced rhetoric from the usual suspects), and is likely to ever be (here)…



…and here’s a bit of a seasonal number, though it’s really tied to something like this I realize.

Friday Stuff

I think it’s particularly repugnant for Repug candidate for Governor Ken Cuccinelli to tout his pro-gun bona fides at Virginia Tech (here), site of one of this country’s worst mass shootings – as noted here from a couple of weeks ago, the “___Is For Lovers” state is up to other voter shenanigans on Cuccinelli’s behalf – and by the way, people, every…election…matters…



…and I really shouldn’t let the week come to an end without calling out that Republican knucklehead Don Yelton, who let the cat out of the proverbial bag (shhhh, don’t run your mouth next time…nobody is supposed to know – more here)…



…and kudos to Dem U.S. House Rep Frank Pallone for this…



…and Bill Maher had a good commentary on this tonight – I’ll look for the video…



…and in response to this, I have only to add the following: Nail. Hammer. Head…



…and here’s a bit of an anthemic tune to wrap up the week (well, we’ll see about tomorrow).

Thursday Stuff

I’m not sure what it says about our corporate media that it takes a comedian to do the type of reporting that we should see on a daily basis…no, never mind – I know EXACTLY what it says about our corporate media, and it’s nothing good (oh, and Jon Stewart is funny as hell on this stuff, again…and God, is Jim Cramer an idiot, and as far as I’m concerned about Maria Bartiromo, we’re pretty much just negotiating what she charges at this point, If you know what I mean)…



…and oh, that baaad Alan Grayson sure is a meanie for comparing the Teahadists to the Klan, isn’t he (here) – as Rachel Maddow tells us, if the shoe fits…



…and I thought Chris Hayes presented three good interviews here related to health care reform, one with technologist Clay Shirky on the healthcare.gov rollout, one with Dem Senator Sherrod Brown, and one with Former President Snowe…



…and here’s a neat little tune for all the youngsters out there :-).

Wednesday Stuff

I would say that The Big Man in Rome is “laying down a marker” to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops with this one…



Update 10/24/13: And I would respectfully submit that His Holiness was talking about these "Christians" also.

…and I know I said that there would be a whole bunch of milestones this year, and here is another – 40 years ago on Sunday, the “Saturday Night Massacre” took place (I absolutely loved “Our World,” and then as now, Patrick Buchanan remains sickeningly arrogant)…



…and possibly the darkest day in the presidency of The Sainted Ronnie R took place on this date 30 years ago with the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon (here - oh, but we “liberated” Grenada afterwards, so it was all good…uh huh)…



…and I might as well get all the “downer” stuff out of the way at once with this, which means it’s time again for this video (and I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by this either, though this is positive).

Tuesday Stuff

Martin Bashir brings us some more cautionary words on those Heritage numbskulls fighting health care reform, when, as it turns out, it was their idea anyway…



…and speaking of health care, Stephen Colbert points out someone from Fix Noise in dire need of counseling (here...dealing with Hulu again, so video may be fussy to load)…



…and Texas judge Carlo Key is my new hero for this…



…and this kind of reminds me about a nightmare I had once about an elementary school art class – the horror, the horror…

Monday Stuff

(I also posted here.)

There’s still hope, people – to help, click here…



…and yes, the web site “glitches” noted previously need to be addressed, but let’s not “take our eye off the ball” here, people…



…and for the opposing point of view (ugh), I give you this…



…oh, and I just realized that I forgot to acknowledge World Mental Health Day a week or so ago (smile).

Sunday Stuff

Here’s a rather unholy lesson on The Lord’s Day concerning the Teahadists, courtesy of Cenk Uygur (the real takeaway here IMHO begins at about 7:00 until the end)…



…and I guess I’m a day late with this number (I think the Segway’s are a nice tongue-in-cheek touch).
