Friday Stuff

God, hasn’t France suffered enough already? To help, click here…



…and I honestly was going to ignore this – naah, sorry, I can’t (kudos to Kyle for keeping it clean)…



…and hey, as long as “The Donald” just gave us fresh, new ammunition (here)…



…and speaking of Trump’s new veep nominee, Rachel Maddow brought us this report earlier in the week on how it can be a fruitless exercise to try and run against the “number 2” on the ticket…



…and I agree with South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott on nothing, but kudos to him for this…



…and while making a lot of money isn’t a crime I know, it could be if you use the influence it buys to screw over everybody else…lots of ways that our senatorial mistake from PA has done that which I’ll try to present over the coming weeks and months; in the meantime, to help Katie McGinty, click here…



Update 7/18/16: Actually, this should go a long way towards telling us how awful a senator Toomey truly is.

…and what, are we actually supposed to think that Stuart Varney ISN’T a scumbag because he has an English accent? (NSFW)...



…and Harry Chapin left us 35 years ago tomorrow – among his other accomplishments, he also was a tireless advocate against hunger and poverty in this country…to say his voice is still needed is a huge understatement.

Thursday Stuff

Fine – let everybody shoot each other; no never mind to me…



…and it looks like Indiana Governor Mike Pence may be the VP for “Fergus Laing,” though it isn’t official of course (dag, all those Mickey D’s meals “Governor Bully” got for Trump for nothing, apparently); I thought this was an informative segment about Pence’s most recent moment in the spotlight (don’t think his “freeze” was a big a deal as that awful law he signed)…



Update 7/15/16: And speaking of Pence, does anyone remember this besides me?

…and isn’t this just precious? Sam Seder tells us that Jeb Bush blames the Pope for losing the South Carolina Republican primary and shooting down his presidential hopes; naaah, didn’t have anything to do with his brother’s utterly failed, ruinous presidency…not much (NSFW)…



...and it looks like Dale Hansen has done it again here - kudos...



…and as damn awful as this is, and it is that, I’d love to see Governor Bully take time from waiting on “The Donald” to try and explain this, assuming he gives a crap, which I’m sure he doesn’t of course…



…and I think this is a really cool tune from an exceptional musical family (that twangy axe in the background can only mean the "Bob Dylan of Britain").

Wednesday Stuff

As I watch this about the so-called Chilcot Report, I keep hoping for something like that in THIS country (yeah, I know – keep hoping)…



…and like it or not, it’s time for another installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” from 7/13/11, with the Foxies doing what they do best, and that is to smear anybody who points out that they’re nothing but the media wing of Not Your Father’s Republican Party, though, based on this, it looks like their “dark Lord” has some actual honest-to-goodness legal stuff going on; couldn’t happen to a more deserving scumbag (more here and here)...



...and Elijah Cummings does a first-class job here IMHO of taking apart more wingnut nonsense...



…and I’m falling behind a bit on my summer songs, so here comes another one.

Tuesday Stuff

We all know what Rudy 9iu11ani is as well as the other “Foxies” (and what a sad epitaph for Wayne Rogers, by the way), but in spite of that, I thought this was a good discussion Chris Hayes conducted with Heather McGhee and Eugene O’Donnell – great job by McGhee to tie police tactics to trying to generate revenue strangled by austerity, by the way…



…and by the way, Rachel Maddow tells us how “Fergus Laing” is resurrecting some of the very worst of the Nixon years (oh goody – just kidding; how truly pathetic)…



…and this tells us about Rep. David Jolly’s bill to limit the amount of time congressional candidates spend on fundraising; an “A” for effort on this one…



…and all the best to Joe Perry of Aerosmith (here).

Monday Stuff

Kudos to John Fugelsang for this (more here)...

...also, Rev. Al talks to Marc Morial of the National Urban League about the aftermath of the most recent headline-making gun violence in this country…



…and aside from the Hillary Email stuff which never was a “thing” in the first place IMHO, I think Larry Wilmore is spot-on here…



…and also while we were away, Elie Wiesel left us – so many reasons to honor his life and accomplishments, but this one stands out in particular (and of course “The Sainted Ronnie R” went to Bitburg anyway - have to crank the volume a bit)…



...and when it comes to the recent violence in Minnesota and Louisiana, I had this song very much in mind.
