(By the way, tomorrow is Election Day in our beloved commonwealth – a wealth of important related information can be accessed from here.)
In something that I'm sure surprises absolutely nobody, it looks like the Trumpsters want another tax break for corporate America – and yeah, Nail. Hammer. Head. stuff by Aida Rodriguez in particular here...
…and Sam and the TMR crew tell us about Fix Noise trying to look into the "millennial mind" – predictably, hilarity ensues (no idea who that guy was who left at the beginning of the clip)…
…and Pap and Farron Cousins tell us how Google is playing both sides of the metaphorical fence on the issue of climate change (yes, I realize this is probably the norm and not the exception for most corporations, but it still needs to be called out)…
…and I thought this was an interesting clip from the New York Times about the evolution of political campaigns (who knew that William Howard Taft loomed so large, both literally and figuratively)…
…and sticking with history, the Iran Hostage Crisis began 40 years ago today – yes, we were wrong to overthrow Mosaddegh in the 1950s and install the Shah to do our bidding, but more than anything else, the seizure of our U.S. embassy personnel was an act of monstrous terrorist cowardice, holding our people for about 444 days – more than that, it was a monumentally stupid gesture by the ruling theocracy of Iran...they would have been much better off if they’d brought their legitimate grievances to the U.N., and on top of that, they ended up with The Sainted Ronnie R. who did nothing except help escalate their horrendous war with Iraq, which weakened both countries (and yeah, once again, Kissinger was wrong and a policy he advocated led to disaster...and let's not forget this too; might have to crank the volume a bit)…
Update: Yeah, the timing is BS, but we kind of asked for it, didn't we (here)?
...and this new tune describes what I try to do every day on this site.
