Saturday Stuff

Rachel Maddow tells us more about Chris Christie and a certain bridge from NY to NYC, among other things…



…and a year ago – well, this happened, and this was our supposed response (and yet again)…



…and given that, these are the only two Christmas songs I feel like hearing right now.

Friday Stuff

Yeah, and if you believe this story, I’ve got a bridge to New Jersey to sell you, or NYC (actually, it’s true, though)…



…and Rachel Maddow (who also reported on the Christie thing – I’ll try to get to it later) tells us just how those in states with Dem governors are faring on health care reform (you can guess, but the evidence is in the clip)…



…and I guess this is Fix Noise humanoid Megyn Kelly’s greatest fear based on this item (h/t Atrios – definitely NSFW)…



…and speaking of seasonal stuff…



…and this is pretty mellow for a scientologist (true!)…



…and it looks like we might have this for real again tomorrow – anybody have a bicarbonate of soda?

Thursday Stuff

Yep, let’s hear it for the Volcker Rule, and screw those “Third Way” weasels…



…and leave it to Foxies for more “cutting edge” seasonal stuff here…



…and leading into that, one of my particular duties I don’t look forward to is putting up the net lights; make sure you get the right size, or else you’ll have to trim your bush (hey now!)…



…and Mrs. Doomsy is partial to the version of this song by Judy Garland; that’s good too, but I like Mr. S. better here.

Wednesday Stuff

I now give you more liberal crazy talk (here)…



…and kudos to Chris Hayes for continuing to report on the stuff that matters, including showing up Rupert the Pirate for what he really is (as well as The Sainted Ronnie R, of course - and God, do I hate that "clean energy" commercial)...



…and I’m sure that, were He to return, He would be derided by the wingnuts as just another panhandling, “big gumint” welfare grifter…



…but to leave us with a bit of a smile for the season (I hope), I give you this.

Tuesday Stuff

(I also posted here.)

I don’t give a crap about a handshake – what I care about is the fact that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations on this day in 1948, making it (quick calculation!) 65 years old…



…and Paul Ryan is waaay too happy here for me to not be totally suspicious of this thing signed today (“autopilot” spending? A little less wingnut code and a little more reality, you worm - and no stinking tax increases…unbelievable – anybody who votes for Ryan and his same-party clowns deserve what they get; and with all due respect to Patty Murray, how about “certainty” for people out of work or soon-to-be in that predicament)…



Update 12/11/13: More on this is here.

…and I need a pick-me-up after watching that – maybe a jog on the treadmill will do - oh, wait…



…and here’s another seasonal number.

Monday Stuff

This video goes out to the entire gaggle of idiots on the Bucks County Courier Times’ Op-Ed page who continually bash public school teachers and early childhood education overall (as opposed to those oh-so-pristine parochial schools, which, though they do great work also, are hardly perfect either...more here)…



…and as long as I’m trying to blow up some right wing BS with the prior video, maybe I should try it again with this (setting the record straight on the ACLU, a favorite “boogeyman” of the right, and Christmas)…



…and speaking of the holiday…



…and with the white stuff on the ground already and more on the way, I’m in the mood for this tune.
