I had a video here last night about IDF soldiers and the increased risk of suicide, and I thought that that, sadly, paralleled the experience of too many vets in this country, as Rachel Maddow reminds us in this clip (pathetic that Crazy Tom Coburn wasn't held up by our corporate media for the appropriate level of ridicule for his actions, but as always, IOKIYAR)...
...and speaking of ridicule, I thought this was an appropriate response to this story (and I'm sure Comcast feels really bad because they were actually busted for it - NSFW)...
...and have fun if you plan to watch that football game this weekend, but make sure to watch your balls (heh – I'm sure Marshawn Lynch is a great running back, but I have to tell you that I'm getting awfully tired of looking at his face every time I go to check the news on my phone)...
...and congrats to Sly Stone for this – hope the verdict survives the appeal.

Thursday Stuff
I thought this was a particularly well-done report by Rachel Maddow on Loretta Lynch, nominated to take over as AG for Eric Holder, who I'm afraid will never get the credit he's due, much like his boss...
…and any loss of life is terrible, and I’m sorry for the Israeli soldiers and their families as noted in the report – all I’m going to point out is that this, to me, is strangely reminiscent of what our own military has suffered mainly as a result of Former Commander Codpiece and his Not-So-Excellent Adventure in Iraq…
...and yes, "Snitchens" ended up going over to the dark side under Bushco (and I can recall this particularly awful episode that followed), but for a time, he was spot-on as he was here, something I recalled in response to this (with "Senator Honor and Virtue" doing his angry old man thing yet again...when I recall Henry Kissinger, though, I think of this first and foremost)...
...and maybe if we rock a little harder, the weekend will get here sooner - just sayin'.

Wednesday Stuff
Rachel Maddow brings us the story of the so-called "Friendship Nine" and their struggle for civil rights - justice of a sort achieved at long last...
….also, Jon Stewart brings us the latest on the conservative stupidity rally hosted by Steve King – kind of disturbing to hear about Huckabee’s preoccupation with sausages, but funny to listen to Just Plain Folks Sarah Palin trying to form a coherent sentence (here)…
…and I’m sure you’ll be shocked, just utterly shocked to learn how Repug U.S. Senator Bags-On-Her-Shoes and her family benefitted from wingnut welfare (NSFW)…
...and a belated happy 60th (!) birthday to Eddie Van Halen.

Tuesday Stuff
I’ll tell you what; I’ll make it so simple that even “Goober” Gohmert can understand it – if you let Netanyahu address Congress, then Pope Frank has to be allowed to do the same thing (here)…
…and yeah, I’m not crazy about the title of this college-level course either, but I guess I’m so old that I can remember when the point of courses like this was to actually attend and have something close to an informed discussion – of course, the phrase “informed discussion” is nowhere to be found at Fix Noise (slightly NSFW)…
…and turning to world stuff, it looks like providing the anti-malaria mosquito nets here doesn’t solve the intended problem without education; looks like folks in Tanzania still face one hell of a dilemma – either eat or protect your kids…
…and here is a little number in honor of this guy, whose birthday we observe here (hey, I’m overdue for some ‘80s trash :-).

Monday Stuff
Jon Stewart gives up the lowlights on the Repugs and their response to Number 44's State of the Union address (next-to-last one I guess)...
...and it was nice to see Bill Maher rebound with this “New Rules” segment after his utterly wretched one defending Flush Limbore – the fat jokes about Governor Bully are actually a little tiresome, though, partly because there are so many other reasons to go after him (NSFW of course)...
…and I have to admit that I don’t like posting about abortion, but I thought Lawrence O’Donnell made a good point here about how incest laws vary from state to state in this country…
…and I guess I should put up a song about snow since we’re going to get a good bit of it apparently, but I think this is an appropriate response to this item (what the #@!$ is it with the Repugs and using songs in violation of copyright without permission? More here too).
