Friday Stuff


Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about Jen Psaki’s response to yet another corporate media drone at a White House press briefing complaining that Biden hasn’t somehow magically managed to unify all political sides on the 1/6 anniversary (mildly NSFW/H)...clip ends at about 7:18 (Cohen’s appropriate level of disgust is palpable)...



Update: Seinfeldian - word? - indeed (here).

Update 1/8/22: I think Markos is spot-on here (similar to that mess from Peter Baker here).

...and David Doel presents a GREAT clip from The Daily Show where they mashed up footage of the 1/6 insurrection with Fix Noise rants about BLM and Antifa protests; yeah, I’m a little surprised nobody thought of this until now myself (more here)...



...and Beau gives us his take on the recent speech of AG Merrick Garland (and no, I won’t feel any bit of satisfaction either until some “big fish” get “hooked,” if you will – really like the way he differentiates between the “institution of the presidency” and the ”institution of democracy”...I think Garland is a fine, decent man and eminently qualified of course, but these are extraordinary times to say the least, and whether or not he’ll rise to this occasion has yet to be determined IMO)...



...and Adrienne Lawrence of Rebel HQ tells us that ‘rona may have caught up with Gov #DeathSantis...despite it all, I hope he indeed is safe and healthy (and as far as I’m concerned, he should go to prison for this alone)...



...and a giant has truly left our midst – RIP Sidney Poitier, one of the all-time acting greats (he OWNED 1967...what follows is a clip from his groundbreaking performance in “In The Heat Of The Night” with Rod Steiger)...



...and happy 74th birthday to Kenny Loggins; I'll save one of his '80s tunes for another occasion.
