I know we observed Memorial Day earlier this week, but with that in mind, I give you the latest from the "This Day In Doomsy History" files from May 28, 2007 - the tune is "Tell Mama" by Shawn Pander; proceeds go to the VFW (no idea of Pander's politics, but I like the song)...
...and R. Maddow reminds us about our ol' buddy Vlad Putin and how people who oppose him end up dead, including Anna Politkovskaya..
..and part of me wants to apologize for wasting more time with the latest antics from Billo the Clown, but I have to give props to Lawrence O'Donnell for actually doing some critical analysis of the latest drivel from Mr. “WE'LL DO IT LIVE!! BLEEP IT!!”...
...and I had this tune in mind after watching the O'Donnell clip, and I can't believe I found it - isn't the Internet amazing?

Thursday Stuff
Oh yes, let's shed some corporate media tears for poor Denny Hastert, now-disgraced former U.S. House Speaker (here)...
Update 5/29/15: Ugh...
...and Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich tells us another way to level the economic playing field...
...and somehow I missed this earlier item from John Oliver – I think it's pretty sad when some of the best investigative journalism on TV is being brought to us by a comedian; no offense to Oliver of course...
...which puts me in a mood to hear this tune.

Wednesday Stuff
Rev. Al tells us the great story of runner Barclay Oudersluys, doing his best to try and defeat global poverty...
...and it looks like greed head Oklahoman Harold Hamm is trying to squash legitimate scientific research on the subject of earthquakes and fracking – can't wait to read the right-wing columns on the Op-Ed page of the Bucks County Courier Times telling us how Hamm is trying to suppress free speech – oh, wait (NSFW)...
...and former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich tells us about the true cost of corporate welfare...
...and who knew that the late, great SRV would one day be a weather forecaster?

Monday Stuff
Happy Memorial Day (and in a related item, I have to admit that I was intrigued by this - what guts on the part of Rod Serling, and I guess one lesson was to never fly in a plane with Gene Roddenberry)...
...and I always include this also because of the futility of war, but not of sacrifice.
