Friday Stuff

Oh yeah, enough is enough all right (here, and I LOVE this idea)...



…and speaking of overwrought, delusional conservative self-entitlement, I give you this (along with this update; a good post by Jed Lewison made even better by some of the hilarious comments)…



...and no, I'm not worried - I think they're both lost causes anyway (here)...

...and it's Friday night - you know the rest.

Thursday Stuff

Nail. Hammer. Head. (here)...



...and happy 60th birthday, Brown v. Board of Education (in two days anyway)...



…and I’m not sure what I could possibly add that would do justice to this, except maybe to wonder why Number 43 didn’t even bother to show up (oh, right - a "scheduling conflict"...uh huh)…



...and on an unrelated note, Ol' Blue Eyes left us 16 years ago yesterday.

Wednesday Stuff

I give you another “miracle” of Repug fiscal governance, this time in the Garden State under “Governor Bully” (yep, no shortage of people to blame besides himself – typical for an egomaniac like him)…



…and I now give you the latest in South Carolina’s request for a state fossil, courtesy of 8-year-old Olivia McConnell (no relation to Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao I’m sure) in a triumph of science over creationism (“Fossil,” huh? You mean Huckleberry Graham doesn’t qualify :-)…



…and Jon Stewart is dead-on about these Boko Haram life forms, but he’s also right about Flush Limbore (here)…

...all of which puts me in the mood to hear this tune, unfortunately.

Tuesday Stuff

Happy Birthday to Stephen Colbert – once more, here is a particularly funny bit that is, alas, still topical…



...and yeah, I apologize for getting all into the “2014 horse race” BS with this, but if nothing else, this report from Joy Reid and her guests is some push-back based on data to the whole “OMIGOD THE CONGRESSIONAL DEMS ARE DOOMED!” narrative, as well as “BENGHAZI!!!” of course…



…and the stuff that matters in this clip is between about :40 and 1:35 (wonder if this Brian Sullivan guy got a serious response – and leave it to that toad Mark Halperin of our Beltway courtier media to defend Dubya the first chance he gets…there are actually journalists in the world risking their lives to do their jobs; given that, it turns my stomach to consider Halperin, and those like him, as members of the “fourth estate”)…



…and I had this song on my mind all day as I contemplated this awful anniversary.

Monday Stuff

If we lived in PA-13, I guarantee that this guy would get my vote in the upcoming Dem primary (at a minimum)…



…and once against, when it’s time to speak truth to stoo-pid, it looks like it’s time for a comedian (here - NSFW)…



…and between President Obama and Repug Governors McCrory, Brownback and Christie, someone has mastered basic math and the other three haven’t – Rachel Maddow makes it painfully clear who’s who…



...and yeah, time for another empowering tune, I guess - why not.
