Friday Stuff

The lady interviewed in this story about the antics of the Bundy morons in Oregon articulated my opinion perfectly (here and here) – if the names of the Bundy goons had been Ahmed, Shaquille or Pedro, they probably would have been shot dead on the spot…



…and put up or shut up, Comey, you hack – enough of this bullshit…



Update 10/29/16: GMAFB! (here also)

…and in consideration of the recent 15th anniversary of The Patriot Act, I give you what I consider to be some well-constructed thoughts on the subject from a formerly somewhat obscure Democratic senator from Illinois (more here)…



…and Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich tells us here that the magic number for the Dems in the U.S. Senate is 5 (and I think it’s about 30 in the U.S. House)…



…and while the wingnuts will lose what’s left of their minds over the latest increases affecting plans offered through the Affordable Care LAW, to me, the takeaway is this: If you’re in a state where an insurer bails, you may very well get clobbered – if not, you’ll be comparatively OK (here)…



…and it's time once more for another installment of "This Day In Doomsy History" from 10/30/2010…and somehow I think that, if you’re watching this, you remember too (this message, sadly, fell on too many deaf ears that year – let’s fix that mistake for good on November 8th this time around)...

…and if you’re a woman somehow still supporting “Fergus Laing,” then you must truly be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome (and yeah, that last anecdote is equal parts galling and sickening - though the idiocy of the opening ad against Steve S. deserves a dishonorable mention too)……



...and if we're getting close to Halloween (and we are), then that means it's time again for this tune.
