Friday Stuff

(I also posted here.)

I wonder if Matt Katz and the other Christie fluffers at the Philadelphia Inquirer will pay attention to the first item in this report (not rocket science to realize that people vote with their wallets, so to speak – and yep, time to look at raising Social Security, which is more liberal crazy talk I realize)…



…and speaking of crazy talk, I give you the following…



…and what a great story here, indeed timed for Veterans Day on Monday; good luck to Jim Wolf (and thanks for his service)…



…and I never quite figured out exactly why this guy’s career didn’t take off – hopefully this tune will do it.

Thursday Stuff

Sure, Repugs – you want to believe that last Tuesday went OK for you, you do that if it works for you (and gee, could “The Cucc” be more of a big baby? And Dem pollster Celinda Lake makes a hell of a point about the shut down at the end)…



…and I guess this tune fits, given all of this stuff.

Wednesday Stuff

I thought Ed Schultz had some pearls of wisdom here…



…and oh yeah, Governor Bully won big last night as expected, aided in no small part by Big Media Love and the spineless quiescence of the “Democrats” in the New Jersey general assembly…



…and as noted here from Julianna Forlano, J.P. Morgan Chase has a history of ripping off customers predating both this century and the prior one; so why exactly should we trust them now, or ever for that matter…



…and oh yeah, in other election news, John Lewis and Mark Moffa didn’t quite make it in the Lower Makefield supervisors contest, but here is the big story, boys and girls…

…Hallelujah! Yes, Simple Simon and his cohort were defeated by Deb Wachspress and Josh Waldorf – great work – I thought this analysis from Deb was telling a bit…

“There is a population in the Republican party that was done with Simon Campbell and they were just looking for candidates who were going to bring more civility and a sense of working as a team (to the board),” Wachspress said Tuesday night.

So, for all the hoopla, it took Republicans getting mad at Campbell for him to get taken out, as they say; kind of depressing that we Dems don’t have the strength in numbers – yet – to do stuff like that on our own…have to keep working towards that day.

So, with this fresh in our minds, here is a tune for Simple Simon.

Tuesday Stuff

I can’t help but think that Tom Harkin would have stayed in the Senate if Harry Reid had pursued meaningful filibuster reform – we definitely need his voice (here)…



Update 11/06/13: Great stuff on this by Bob Cesca here...

…and here’s a tune and video from this decade – last week, actually, I think (like the bass line).

Monday Stuff

Tomorrow is election day, people. Here are the folks who need our support…

Deb Wachspress and Josh Waldorf for the Pennsbury School Board (here)…

…so we can give this guy the boot at long last (Simon Campbell published the salaries of the Pennsbury School Board employees again in another of his heinous booklets last weekend, along with our total school taxes, threatening a 23 percent increase that will never happen were he to be voted out, along with our appraised home value – typical low life move)…

…also, John Lewis and Mark Moffa for Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County supervisors (here, to help move this along a bit too)…

…and Barbara Buono needs our help big time in NJ, in the face of all the “Get Christie Love” from our corporate media (click here)…



…and here is more on other elections (I think Josh Barro is a bright guy, but he needs to dig just a tad deeper in his analysis – maybe he did after the commercial :-)…



…and this idea from Bill Maher is way too progressive for the Teahadists…



…and happy 65th birthday to Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie (who?), singing her biggest hit.

Sunday Stuff

Really, New Jersey? You’re prepared to give this clown another term?

To do something to see that that doesn’t happen, click here (and time truly is short)…



Update 11/04/13: Case closed.

…and I guess this is one musical response, though I suppose there are many others also.
