Wednesday Stuff


Oh - OF COURSE Caribou Barbie is outraged (here)! I mean...she has to say or do SOMETHING to try and remain relevant in her imagination somehow, right?

And with the pic in mind somewhat, Cenk and Ana tell us that the Impulse Control Issue Child In Chief Who Wants To Nuke North Korea (and as I said yesterday, can’t we put him in a goddamn straightjacket before he tries to do that?) hasn’t said a word about the recent terrorist attack on a mosque in Minnesota (update is here – and who exactly is this sanctimonious assh*le Sebastian Gorka anyway? Lemme guess – another white nationalist? So much winning!!!)…



Update: Kudos to Chelsea Clinton for this (I quite agree).

…and Farron Cousins lets Dem Sen. Joe Manchin have it over a truly ridiculous response by Manchin when asked about his votes (a fair point, but I have to say that I’m getting a little fed up with the Dem purity tests going on right now…yes, Manchin needs to move to the left along with more than a few others, I get it, but if we can’t get our shit together and unite against Generalissimo Trump, we’ll never be able to do it against anybody...borderline NSFW)…



…I’ll tell you what – instead of beating each other up, let’s watch this video by Robert Reich and find out ways to take it out instead on Repugs who are in their districts and facing their constituents over the August recess instead, OK? And not surprising to find out that Ron Wyden is absolutely solid on this subject, by the way...


Update 8/10/17: All of that being said about trying to unite as Dems, I believe that every word of this article should be memorized by those Dem-party Beltway jokers who do nothing but lose elections (somewhat shocking, but it bears out what many others have said, including your humble narrator...h/t Eschaton).

…and Joy Reid tells us that our former ol’ buddy Vlad Putin wants to utterly screw us over using Bitcoin, in an attempt to get around the recent sanctions passed by Congress…



…and Stephen Colbert has some fun with Fix Noise clown Eric Bolling and his recent photographic misadventures, shall we say (the jokes truly write themselves...a shaved squirrel?)…



…and Glen Campbell was truly a multi-talented entertainer – host of a popular variety TV show (you can Google the term) from way back, crossover pop/country star, movie actor, and also highly accomplished SoCal “sessions” guitarist with The Wrecking Crew…if I were to feature all of his great tunes (with the expert help of songwriter Jimmy Webb more than a few times), I would probably need a month, but as it is, I’ll devote the rest of this week to three in particular, including this one – RIP.
