Look like Alan Grayson has done it again – kudos (here – I think all the empty seats speak to the true priorities of most of those life forms in the U.S. House, and I certainly don’t mean that as a compliment)…
…and if you want to elect somebody in PA-08 who will stand with Grayson, watch and click here…
…and Thom Hartmann brings us economic and labor news for the week…
…and hey, corporate media? You want to give us a break from opining on the never-ending presidential election in this country and try paying attention to stuff like this instead?...
…and Happy Earth Day from the Democratic Party (here)…
…and here is a song for the occasion.

More Thursday Stuff
Rachel Maddow recalls the PMRC hearings in the ‘80s with Tipper Gore and Susan Baker that led to record label warnings, which actually are kind of quaint now when you look back at it – worth recalling with Prince’s passing today (more here)…
…and I finally found the tribute video I was looking for earlier – Sign O’ The Times indeed.

Thursday Stuff
Way too damn young to go – I’m sure we’ll find out more later; couldn't find any good videos to upload, so I wasn't planning to say anything else…
...and yeah, I know it’s utterly not shocking for our corporate media to swoon over their latest Republican “sugar daddy” (see The Sainted Ronnie R and his “son”), but it’s still vile and repulsive anyway; kudos to Media Matters for compiling this video (here), which must have been a truly gut-churning task…
…and speaking once more of “The Donald,” Cenk tells us how the all-but-named Repug presidential nominee supposedly helped on 9/11 - uh-huh…
...and I just saw "The Graduate" on a movie channel lately, which made me remember this tune.

Wednesday Stuff
By the way, I have something to say about any self-proclaimed pundit of any political affiliation who indulges in the equivalent of navel gazing about his or her preferred presidential candidate and then laments about how tiresome the electoral process is in this country (which it is):
If you’re wasting column or online pixel space engaging in this exercise instead of devoting space to REAL people dealing with REAL issues instead, then stop whining, because YOU are part of the problem too.
…and I know there are Republicans out there who will ABSOLUTELY LOSE THEIR MINDS if you point out to them that their party wins in no small part by voter disenfranchisement; too f*cking bad…own it, wingnuts...and one more thing, for the benefit of the host of this video - EVERY VOTE DOES COUNT!…
…and in the latest “horse race” political news, all I can say in response to these obscene sums of money is – THANK YOU JOHN ROBERTS (tongue in cheek of course) for this…
...and for PA-08 folks, to do more to help, click here…
…and I give you another installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less), with a video from 4/16/12 in which the “party of Lincoln” tried a subliminal advertising trick aimed at Number 44; as we know, though, the Repugs are the real “Mad Men”…
…and, in a story timed for “4/20,” it looks like our neighbors to the north are moving forward with national legalization of pot; personally, I’ve always favored decriminalization, but it’s a “vox populi” kind of thing…
…and I honestly didn’t know “4/20” was a thing – can’t think of a more apropos tune than this one.

Tuesday Stuff
When it comes to Billo, I wasn’t going to “go there” when it comes to the personal stuff, but I got tired of reading garbage like this and this…
Update 4/20/16: Keep it up, Billo (here)...
…and I think this clip from Samantha Bee is an appropriate palate cleanser, timed for today of course (here – definitely NSFW; LOVE the Kasich description)…
…and Kyle Kulinski tells us about the primary challenge in Florida to that Dem traitor DWS and why she’s in deep doo-doo (NSFW as well – to help, click here)…
…and I think the sound of this guy is too interesting to ignore any more.

Monday Stuff
GO, BERNIE, GO (tomorrow is indeed the big day in “The Empire State,” with PA a week from tomorrow)…
…and I thought this was an interesting report by Rachel Maddow on Repug governors and their “stage craft” at signing ceremonies, leading to a report on how utterly tone deaf on gender issues John Kasich is (and he’s supposed to be the “smart” one)…
…and I also agree that violence against people and property isn’t justified in the circumstances in this video (here), but neither is it justified to forget about the root causes of why poverty and blight exist in this country…
…and like you I’m sure, I’m glad Diana Ross is OK (here); gives me an excuse to put up this tune (with a legendary bass line by Motown “Funk Brother” James Jamerson).
