Well said by Tweety – obvious stuff I know, but it needs to be repeated over and over…
…and I give you the epitome of our spoiled plutocracy (I noted this asshat over here too)…
…and it is beyond awesome to me that Scalia ended up giving a shot in the arm, as it were, to marriage equality…
…and in a related story as they say, I know absolutely nothing about this guy Dale Hansen, but I do know that this is one of the finest opinion commentaries that I have ever heard (here)…
…and here’s a song for this special day…
…and for the opposing point of view, I give you this :-).

Wednesday Stuff
RIP Sid Caesar – I know there’s YouTube video out there of the “From Here to Eternity” parody; always good for a few laughs – what a great legacy…
…and speaking of humor, it looks like French President Hollande has landed on our shores, and Jon Stewart gives our corporate media the appropriate treatment for their farcical attempt at coverage (here)…
…and I think it’s hilarious that Governor Bully has now gone “full wingnut” and embraced his party’s “ownership society” as shown here, including Former President Nutball…
...and I often think of conservatives as cartoonish anyway, and they pretty much cemented that “rep,” if you will, here, as Rev. Al tells us…
…and I know Lawrence O’Donnell has been beating the proverbial dead horse about the wording on the 501(c)(4) law, but he happens to be right (and Billo the Clown continues to be nothing but a rude, interrupting idiot – wonky stuff, I know)…
…and this distinctly American piece of classical music debuted 90 years ago on this day in NYC, which is completely appropriate (something to listen to while we watch yet another snowfall unfold).

Tuesday Stuff
RIP Shirley Temple Black, cute as a button on celluloid now for all eternity...
...and Ed Schultz gives a report here on increasing the working wage for women (and a pox on Priorities USA for thinking that the 2014 midterms supposedly aren't important, or something)...
…oh, and in case you were wondering where the Teahadists of today sprang from, I give you this interview by Mike Wallace of acclaimed screenwriter Rod Serling, subject to hack impersonations by many, where he tells us the story of Lassie on TV giving birth, as well as the kitchen appliance sponsor who wanted the screenplay for “Judgment at Nuremberg” edited – talk about past is prologue (credit to YouTuber Anthony Cumia for the clip)…
…and happy 75th birthday to songwriter Gerry Goffin, who collaborated with Carole King both in music and in life…here is a legendary King/Goffin tune performed by JT.

Monday Stuff
Gee, I wonder if David Wildstein dunked little girls’ curls in ink wells too – un-freaking-believable…
...and I give you Ed Schultz and David Cay Johnston on fighting for an increase in the minimum wage (here)...
…and as noted here, tomorrow is a day of protest over NSA spying (Stephen Colbert has a bit of fun with this I know, but I think he makes the serious points that need to be made)…
…and with all of the Beatle-ish celebrations going on over the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four’s appearance on Ed Sullivan, there have been quite a few covers being played also, though I haven’t heard this tune – this was always a personal favorite of yours truly (apropos too).
