Thursday Stuff


Cenk and Ana tell us that Mr.-Puppy-Dog-Eyes-With-The-Shiv, on his way out the door, is trying to make it easier for Irish immigration into this country, which I would be fine with if we would also take care of the DREAMers, who of course are utterly repellent to the “party of Lincoln” (of course, if we were talking about a century earlier, the Irish would be demagogued just like non-white people are now, as evidenced by the sign in the pic, kind of destroying the irony meter as far as I’m concerned…looks like the deal was killed, however)…



…and Farron Cousins reminds us about the cost of the latest government shutdown by the Repugs – yep, this is what happens when voters in the country actually DON’T elect adults to govern…



…and kudos to Kansas State Sen. Dinah Sykes for switching to the Democratic Party; I’m sure the guy interviewed for the story is right about it not being a “sea change,” but it’s definitely a step in the right direction…



…and likewise, good job by Chris Hayes and the “All In” panel here to remind us all about the “red state teacher revolt” – and yes, it resulted in positive change…



…and speaking of positive change, Robert Reich tells us here about the importance of a “green New Deal”…



…and here’s an upbeat little tune that is ACTUALLY NEW for a change; guess the whole roller-skating thing is kind of an ‘80s Venice Beach kind of jawn.
