Friday Stuff

Kudos to Chris Hayes for connecting a whole bunch of dots here, and for turning Billo the Clown’s noxious words against him…



…and I REALLY missed the boat on this one, but hey, at least I got there – uh huh…and no, I haven’t forgotten that this is Good Friday…



…and hey, all of you amateur artists out there, don’t “misunderestimate” yourself (and no, I don’t suppose anything having to do with Former President Nutball will ever actually be funny either)…



…and going from one “boy George” to another (even though I guess I’m a bit late on this also)…enjoy.

Thursday Stuff

I don’t give a crap about Repug U.S. House Rep Dennis Ross and his paper route or whatever job he had as a kid – the problem is that 90 percent of minimum wage workers are 20 years or older, as noted here (which Ross would understand if he were really listening to that gentleman who works at Arby’s)…of course, this blow-dried bozo doesn’t really care about trying to level the playing field, as it were, for anyone else (oh, and by the way, raising the minimum wage is economically stimulative, which of course would help Obama and the Dems, hence Ross’s opposition)…



…and I’ve been telling Congressional Dems and like-minded candidates to go out and sell the Affordable Care Law for a little while now, and I’m not running for anything – kudos to Rep. Elijah Cummings for pointing that out also…



…and a hat tip to one of my senior correspondents for this (NSFW) – yes, this is satire, Aussie style, but as far as the Koch Brothers are concerned, this no doubt is merely a documentary…



...and there's so much stoo-pid, so little time with this (and the headline is a particular head-scratcher even for the Foxies...my video response follows).

Wednesday Stuff

Number 44 visited our glorious commonwealth today - easy to see who's serious here about "jobs, jobs, jobs" and who isn't...



Update 4/17/14: And this is way too damn funny from The Daily Tucker, and it was a headline at the top of the page (ZOMG, 25 out of 40 plant workers shoved their hands in their pockets instead of applauding every 30 seconds! SCANDAL! IRS LOIS LERNER BENGHAZI IRS LOIS LERNER BENGHAZI IRS LOIS LERNER BENGHAZI IRS LOIS LERNER BENGHAZI!!!),

…and here is more good news on the Affordable Care Law – so how will the Repugs react? CANTHEARYOUNANANANANA (oh, and as far as Tom Cotton goes, I give you this)…



...and I think the question posed by Rachel Maddow at the end of this segment on domestic terrorism is spot-on (and heckuva job, wingnuts, to help to squelch a DHS report on the subject)...



...and it's nice to see this guy hit it big with this little number.

Tuesday Stuff

(I also posted here.)

I apologize a bit for paying attention to the hateful maggot who (allegedly) perpetrated a deadly mass shooting recently in Kansas City; I think, however, that this is a good report that provides some important context…



…and here is the latest on the Repugs and their minority outreach efforts (and for some context on what the Foxies are up to on this, here is more info)…



…and yes, we definitely have tax un-fairness in this country, but please leave the home mortgage interest deduction and local tax deductions ALOOOOOOONE - there’s a bunch of other stuff we can do …



…and we did better this year than last year – hope you did too.

Monday Stuff

Here’s another lesson in reality economics from Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich…



…and I thought this was a good interview with Sen. Al Franken about the proposed Comcast-Time Warner merger…



…and Joy Reid tells us about Charlene Dill of Florida, who wasn’t able to benefit from Medicaid expansion and died as a result – I’ll let you, dear reader, decide whether or not that makes Lex Luthor Scott a murderer or not (and good point about the Dems, who, for the most part, stink at messaging anyway, sad to say)…



...and RIP Jesse Winchester (and, in a related story...).
