Friday Stuff


Fix Noise should just rename itself as the American Pravda channel and make it official (as Bill Maher has said, all is forgiven if you have the "magic R" after your name)…


…and gee, it looks like “Lady Skeletor” broke the law, namely the Hatch Act; imagine that, a Trumpster not playing by the rules (OK, snark mode off…and oh, I guess I’m just a snotty lib to make fun of her appearance – all I can say in response is that I knew what this woman was all about after listening to all of the drivel she used to spout on “Real Time” long before she became a Trumpette…besides, she’s routinely ridiculed our side in worse ways...and I'm sure the Huckabilly Sanders remark at the end is tongue-in-cheek)…



…and Rachel Maddow tells us the latest on Russia hacking our infrastructure (God, is this story scary – makes it more critical that we stop screwing around and do something in response, but good luck on that with our Tiny Handed, Treasonous Orange preznit…)…



…and RIP Dem U.S. House Rep Louise Slaughter, a tireless advocate for her constituents…the clip below is from February 2010 as part of an effort (which turned out to be successful) to get the ACA passed into law (I think the part about the woman being forced to wear her dead sister’s dentures, of all of the other important stuff in this clip, was my biggest takeaway, and a jarring one at that as you might expect…God, Obama was so young, with so much obstruction yet to come)…



…and Seth Meyers gives us a wrapup of the week; like the remark about the sneeze guard around Mexico, mainly to point out the absurdity of the whole damn wall thing – love Seth’s reaction to the audience reaction to the Chris Matthews remark also (seriously, though, when the hell is someone going to cart Generalissimo Trump away a la Anthony Hopkins/Hannibal Lecter in “Silence of the Lambs”?)…



…and on this St. Patrick’s Day eve, I have to admit that I’m having a hard time getting my head around the fact that Dolores O’Riordan is no longer with us.
