Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report tells us of a Catholic priest in Louisiana named Travis Clark who was caught having sex on the altar with dominatrices (I think that’s the correct spelling)...let us prey – and maybe Clark didn’t do anything legally actionable since everything was consensual, but to say this was a betrayal of his vows is a huge understatement... and yeah, PA has its own issues as the video notes with priests and abuse – as far as I’m concerned, if you do the crime, then you do the time, and if somebody shivs you in prison for it, well, that’s unfortunate, but what can you expect? (more here – NSFW/H)...
...and Thom Hartmann draws a pretty clear line from the Repugs screaming OPENBORDER OPENBORDEROPENBORDEROPENBORDEROPENBORDER!!!! to immigrants in Mexico and central America deciding to make the trek north because they’re getting this nonsense on their cell phones and social media feeds (yes, they have the same technology the rest of us do...have to check on Neeva....and it’s great that Martha Raddatz did what she did with that total swine Greg Abbott, but she should be THE RULE, not THE EXCEPTION!)...
...and David Pakman tells us that even the Murdoch Street Journal has figured out that the incoming clown-car caucus in the U.S. House is too stoo-pid to wield power...of course, that rag could have said this during the election when it actually mattered, which I guess is waaay too much to ask...
...and speaking of information gatekeepers, if you will, this clip from Second Thought discusses Why the U.S. Media is Becoming More Right Wing (and one of the many great points here has to do with how CNN is indeed “mainstreaming” the far right even more...”It’s not simply the case that media outlets frame stories the way they do, with the kind of villainization we’ve seen with the (rail) strike. It’s that they decide what counts for a story in the first place.”...uh, yep...video does a great job of explaining how the wingnuts manage to tilt the media landscape in their direction)...
...and I'm winding down with the seasonal selections as we near the big day, but I have to incldue these also.
