To paraphrase Farron Cousins of “Ring of Fire” here – it’s the income inequality, stupid! And let’s not forget this too...
…and Rachel Maddow has something to say about the Gropenfuhrer’s new tax plan – naaah, it’s not a shameless giveaway for the “pay no price, bear no burden” bunch…not much it isn’t; contrasted in the same report with the utterly scandalous mishandling of aid to Puerto Rico, which desperately needs all the help it can get (more here...if you can assist somehow, please click here)…
…and in the latest chapter of the “them that’s got shall get” file, I give you Equifax CEO Richard Smith, who will receive a nice payday even though he failed to secure the data of about half of the U.S. population from hackers – oy vay (here)…

…and Kyle K. tells us that DEA admin Chuck Rosenberg has quit in response to the Big Orange Cheetoh – NSFW; to his great credit, Kyle has continually beat the drum about this country claiming it has the right to take out the families of terrorists, which we most definitely do not…I’m not sure how much of this I agree with after about 4:13 – I get Kyle’s “libertarian” argument to leave everything alone, but I don’t totally agree with getting rid of the DEA…serious reforms for real, sure, however…good argument by Kyle also about trying to keep everything from going underground…still thinking about this commentary…
…and I’m sure this is going viral now, as it should be, and that is Lt. Gen Jay Silveria of USAFA speaking out against racism (may we as citizens be worthy of the honorable tradition and sacrifice of our military men and women – here)…
…and I’m going out of order once more with K.O.’s great commentaries about Generalissimo Trump, but I think it’s appropriate for the moment (and speaking of disgraced former advisor Paul Manafort, I thought this was particularly repellent)…
…and with the passing of Hugh Hefner this week, I wanted to take a moment and bring you this clip from “Playboy After Dark,” a late-night variety and entertainment show from back in the Dippity-Do era…as I watched a few clips over the last day or so, I was struck when I recalled all of the big-name music acts that appeared on the program, as well as entertainers and other celebrities of the time; this features an early version of Fleetwood Mac in more of a bluesy than pop phase, with former guitarist Peter Green (also, kind of klutzy comedy with Arte Johnson, and was that Don Adams? And you'll have to crank the volume a bit)…
…and happy birthday tomorrow to Trey Anastasio of Phish.
