Monday Stuff

(Update 10/30/14: I also posted here.)

Alex Wagner talks to New York Times reporter extraordinaire James Risen about his new book documenting the insidious rise of the national security state under both Number 43 and Number 44…



..and nice work here by “give 'em hell, Harry” Truman on the minimum wage, as Melissa Harris-Perry explains (and Truman actually used the phrase "trickle-down," proving beyond a doubt that the Repugs have been peddling the same snake oil for at least 60 years)...



…and I give you the latest from FAIR TV (OK, two things: 1) We actually do have a surgeon general, Dr. Boris Lushniak, who more or less has held onto the job without the confirmation of Dr. Vivek Murthy, who is the nominee of the Obama Administration and, by rights, should be on the job at this moment; and 2) I will NEVER defend Mumia Abu-Jamal, but that utterly ridiculous law that PA Guv Tom “Space Cadet” Corbett just signed helped to further enhance Abu-Jamal’s profile in yet another way that he doesn’t deserve)…



...and I feel like hearing another tune from Jack Bruce, and a timely one at that.
