Friday Stuff


Brian Tyler Cohen brings us a clip of Mango Mussolini professing admiration for Nancy Pelosi and wondering why she didn’t impeach Dubya for Iraq – no, you’re not suddenly in some parallel universe; clip is from 2008…



…and Cenk and Ana of TYT tell us about this great campaign ad from Andrew Romanoff focused on the climate crisis; Romanoff is running in the Dem Colorado U.S. Senate primary for the seat currently held by soulless Repug shill Cory Gardner – as Cenk and Ana tell us, Romanoff has to knock off “Fracken-Looper” first…



..and here’s a great “Now This” clip about the benefits of solar energy (as noted in the clip, Mr. Asmus upgraded his home for solar using LEAP, the Low Income Energy Assistance Program in Colorado, appropriately enough given the prior clip; don’t know if that’s offered nationwide or if that could be a model, but it should be – and in a related item, I give you this)…



…and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day in Doomsy History” (more or less) from 12/19/13…from the little bit I’ve read, apparently Sen. Elizabeth Warren held her own in the 2,462nd debate last night among the Democratic candidates for president, and with that in mind, I think it’s instructive to bring back this clip; with the exception of Bernie Sanders, nobody else on that stage has the record for consumer advocacy that Warren has built up throughout her career, and in this clip, she talks with Chris Hayes about the idiocy of employers wanting to review credit scores for job applicants as part of a background check even though that information has not one damn thing to do with how that person would perform on the job (more is here, and I'm not a bit surprised that California was progressive enough to ban this practice as noted here)…



...and here are more seasonal selections.
