Thursday Stuff


It may be hard to believe that, as a congressman from Illinois, Donald Rumsfeld was a leading co-sponsor of the Freedom of Information Act and also fought for funding on behalf of the Office of Economic Opportunity in the Nixon Administration, but that actually is true; however, I’m sure that will be forever buried under a figurative avalanche of BS and propaganda – to say nothing of untold death and ruin – he was responsible for primarily as SecDef under Dubya, as Rachel Maddow tells us...



...and Jon Stewart gave Rummy the treatment he deserved here...



...and I thought this was a pretty sharp take on the other big story from yesterday (we’ll see what today brings of course – thinking about the SCOTUS rulings due today) from Rebel HQ’s Adrienne Lawrence; although I think Cosby is and remains human scum, I think this is a pretty well-thought-out analysis by Lawrence, a lawyer...



...and John and Charles F. Coleman of The Damage Report talk about the heat in the Pacific Northwest (and yeah, that map is pretty damn scary)...



...and speaking of scary, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s idiocy runs wild yet again, claiming that the Plan B contraceptive leads to abortion (a typical attitude from a political party that continually denies science)...



...and I hope you're in the mood for an easy listening kind of seasonal tune, because I sure as hell am.
