Wednesday Stuff (updates)

I wonder what kind of wingnut and corporate media caterwauling we would have had to endure if somehow a Democratic president had travelled overseas and essentially spit on our veterans and come home and done the same thing (which would be justified, I might add)? Farron Cousins explains…



…and when it comes to the last election, I think there was a little more going on in North Dakota, for example, with Heidi Heitkamp (namely, that nonsense with the Indians with PO boxes at their residences not being allowed to vote), but Kyle and David Dayen otherwise make some good points here (NSFW…and I think Yucca Mountain had a lot more to do with Dean Heller losing than this story…too complicated to pigeon-hole what happened in the Senate IMHO, which of course was NOT a net benefit, though NV and AZ were positive of course, and as always, we'll see about Florida, which should have UN monitors…irritating to me that the Repugs could somehow “crack that code” to knock off Heitkamp, Donnelly and McCaskill but we couldn’t do that to save them…Kyle is exactly right, though, about the typical corporate media response to the bipartisan banking “reform” bill)…



…and Cenk and Ana of TYT tell us about the black security guard killed by cops, despite, apparently, everyone in the ENTIRE BAR where the incident occurred warning the cops that the security guard WASN’T THE PROBLEM…



…and whenever a Repug politician does or says something crass, insensitive and/or stupid (or all of the above), particularly when it comes to race, leave it to one of their minions to come back with “Oh yeah? Well, ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION and, by the way, ABORTION,” in response, as noted here (to do something about this, click here)…

…and Robert Reich tells us about just how much we in the blue states help those in the red states, as it turns out…



...which makes me recall this tune (frequent use of the "N" word, just to warn you).
