Yep, looks like “The Donald” is out to “play” everybody, including our veterans of course – no line he and the other Repugs won’t cross…
…and David Shuster of Al Jazeera tries a bit of fact checking from that candidate farce last night…
…and I’m still a little behind on my Thom Hartmann videos, but I’m trying to catch up…
...and RIP Paul Kantner (and yes, I know it's Marty Balin on the vocals; happy 74th birthday to Balin, by the way).

Thursday Stuff
The Challenger explosion took place 30 years ago today (as far as I'm concerned, that tragedy happened primarily because of the stupefying, idiotic misjudgement of The Sainted Ronnie R as well as the calamitous negligence of Morton Thiokol, as noted here)...
...and hey, lookee here – Ed Schultz is now with RT; here, he talks with Marin Katusa, Fund Manager of the KCR Fund and a New York Times bestselling author, about what’s going on in U.S. energy markets – then, Simone Del Rosario discusses Saudi Arabia's decades-old secret leverage, which is (wait for it...) the amount of debt we stupidly ran up with our "allies" (of course, that's what really matters, not the type of debt our corporate media cares about - I think the scenarios discussed here are a bit dire and some of these are “glass half empty” projections, but Katusa is no slouch on this stuff, so we should all pay attention)...
...and speaking of energy, I don't know if anything is actually rotten in Denmark or not, but if something is, it's not that country's commitment to wind power...
…and I guess this qualifies as a “relationship” song; sorry, no “message music” tonight.

Wednesday Stuff
So it looks like "blue tarp guy" in Oregon bit the dust - cry me a river...
...and Lawrence O’Donnell interviews former U.S. House Rep Patrick Kennedy, JFK’s nephew, in response to some truly insulting idiocy from Ted Cruz on the subject of our 35th president, particularly Cruz’s utterly mean-spirited paraphrasing of the quote from RFK’s eulogy…
Update 2/1/16: Either not enough Iowa voters saw this report, or those that saw didn't care (here).
...and I thought this was a good report by Chris Hayes focusing on the latest antics from "Governor Bully" (what a buffoon - Christie, I mean; LOVE the sidewalk sign with the mop AND the box of donuts)...
…and this tells us about a celebration for Joan Baez’s 75th birthday, which apparently took place earlier this month – probably an understatement to call her a liberal icon; here is a tune for the occasion.
Update 11/18/16: And typically fighting the good fight as noted here...

Yeah, about 1:08 of this nonsense is all I can tolerate also; just think for a second that this idiocy actually WORKS for a significant share of our electorate (not even going to try to debunk the nonsense...well, except for this...not a fan of Common Core, but don't blame Obama, blame the governors, including this guy)...
...and this is the best news I've heard in a long time (more here) - of course, don't expect to hear an apology from any of the Repugs or their acolytes for their monumental, prejudicial misjudgment on behalf of those two idiots (more here...and let's not forget this too)...
…and I don’t care if John Cox is a Republican or not – I still think this is a hell of an idea…
…and I never thought that I’d be giving credit to Cher for anything except “Moonstruck,” but kudos to her, Pearl Jam, Eminem and everyone else here stepping up to help the residents of Flint with their water crisis that is utterly man-made, at the hands of their governor whose conduct here is almost too unspeakable for words (and this loser isn't much better)…Snyder truly deserves to be prosecuted as far as I’m concerned (had to reach way back into the archives for this one).

Monday Stuff
Gee, where are the Repugs and all of those stupid “Support Our Troops” yellow ribbon stickers NOW; more on that scumwaffle Hegseth is here (first bullet), and more on Repugs versus vets and the VA is here...
...also, I think this Vice News report on homelessness is timely once more in light of this, particularly since the two participants were decided yesterday (and I think Robert Marbut deserves the very fate he attempts to stigmatize)…
…and I know we just observed MLK day a week ago, but I think this latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 1/21/08 featuring Bill Moyers is still instructive because it shows yet another media overreaction, this time on the incredibly obvious observation by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton that it take a president to sign legislation into law (or unless the president’s veto is overridden, as in this case), in regards to the Civil Rights Act in this example…and I think we all should ask ourselves if anyone from the “party of Lincoln,” particularly this guy, would support such a law if it needed to be passed now…
…and whaddaya say to a little Monday funk?
