Tuesday Stuff

Three words in response to this commentary from Thom Hartmann: Nail. Hammer. Head (and by the way, the movie reference about Donald Sutherland yesterday was from "Kelly's Heroes," for those of you playing along at home)…



...and I think this is another good commentary from Brian Stelter on what he correctly IMHO calls “anti-media,” though I think he’s a little late to the proverbial party on this – he really should take this to the next step and point out how “anti-media” has polluted so-called respectable, mainstream media, including his own network (and “elitism” is just a right-wing dog whistle in an attempt to beat the so-called “liberal media” meme to death yet one more time…also, there are a lot of people who think they know what happened last Tuesday who definitely don’t for my money, but I think Kurt Eichenwald knows what he’s talking about here)…



...and I always thought it was garbage for conservatives to complain in particular about PBS journalist Gwen Ifill in 2012 as a debate moderator (of course, they thought she’d favor Obama – I guess all “blahs” look the same to most of the Repugs, and probably some Dems too); I thought Ifill was a solid professional – RIP (and take a long, last look at a president who truly knows how to act presidential before he leaves us, people – sigh)...



…and with that in mind, are you still proud of yourselves, all you Jill Stein and Gary Johnson voters (here)? You know, all of you space cadets out there who just felt that politics was just oh so corrupt to vote for a candidate who, you know, ACTUALLY REPRESENTED WHAT YOU CLAIM TO BELIEVE IN?

And yes, I expect to be asking that question for at least the next four years…



…and RIP famous character actor (and reliable pre-Obama Democrat from back in the day) Robert Vaughn - he once supported "Clean Gene" McCarthy for president…



…and here’s another selection for Generalissimo Trump’s Dance Party.
