...and once more, for no particular reason, it's time for more of This Day In Doomsy History – on a related note, Chris Hayes told us a year ago this month of how “the Brownback/Koch state” passed a law disallowing any municipality in Kansas from passing its own gun laws, something in effect in PA also unfortunately (and an utter pox in Jim Howell, though I hope nothing happens to him, his family or his friends)...
...and I offer the following without any further comment.
I think I've gotten these videos from Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich out of order a bit, but I thought this was another great one, so...
...and yeah, I guess “Frankie Goes To The Vatican” is supposed to toe the Republican Party line on ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION OMIGOD THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA WHATEVER THE HELL THAT IS, and he'd damn well better stay clear of any issue of actual consequence in our daily lives, with the climate being the biggest one of all – kind of a problem for the Repugs that they can't just “plug n' play” the Vatican line automatically with their stupid talking points anymore, huh...
...and boy, would I like Dana Milbank to actually NAME these supposedly grown-up Republicans who actually support health care reform (sorry the clip is a couple of days old)...
...and I give you this tune for this memorable occasion (don't blink or you'll miss the ending).
This is another well-done IMHO report from John Oliver on a very important issue (here), and having the recitations from Helen Mirren is a nice touch, though torture is a war crime that warrants prosecution; it's not exactly something you announce with a sideways eye-roll (you listening, President Hopey Changey? Pretty sure this is NSFW also)...
...and I find this story so revolting that it shows a total breakdown of BOTH political parties, though the Dems are more on the right side than their crazy opposition (and the “party of Lincoln” will hoot all day long about the UN supposedly taking over this country, though I think this issue shows that that, to some degree, has already happened – another “triumph” of idiocy on the part of voters who gave the Repugs full control of Congress)...
...and I was really glad to find a clip about this since it disappeared so quickly from the “All In” section of the web site of that supposedly liberal MSNBC network (NSFW)...
...and I can't believe this song was released 50 years ago today – guess Dylan is so much older then, but I don't know how he could be younger than that now (sorry, couldn't resist).
