Seth Meyers brings us A Closer Look on you-know-what on Monday...and what can you say when there are bipeds out there who are shocked over the fact that Cantaloupe Capone cheated many of them out of attending #47’s inaugural in person? I guess there’s just no end to the gullibility of these people...these clips of his disgusting speech are all I want to subject myself to, and it’s all I want to subject you too also, dear reader...oh, and is it my imagination, or did Melania dress like she didn’t want to be recognized? I saw some comments saying she looked like the Hamburglar (and someone’s going to have to explain that spider/jellybean thing to me at the end)...
...and The Lincoln Project gives us a bit of a reality check here in light of Bronzer Beelzebub’s arrival once more in An Oval Office...
...and Belle lets us know here that, while on his way out the door, President Biden declared the Equal Rights Amendment to be the “law of the land”...I think Belle is exactly right; yes, the ERA should have been ratified forever ago, particularly since it has no binding force of law (so there’s really nothing for wingnuts to be PO’ed about...or you would think, anyway), but Biden can’t just say “make it so”...this should reignite action to get moving on ratifying it – not hopeful with this incoming regime, but it’s up to us to keep fighting on this and other issues of course...
...and when it comes to issues directly impacting women, one of the fiercest fighters out there was Cecile Richards, and believe it or not, she just left us...kind of gutted by this news, to tell you the truth...I ran into her a couple of times at Democratic fundraisers/phone banking events, that sort of thing, and for someone with her public profile, she was completely down to earth as far as I was concerned...there aren’t too many good ways to pass out of this life, but having a glioblastoma is truly one of the worst...RIP...
...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 1/21/10...yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of the utterly wretched and despicable ruling by the SCOTUS of Hangin’ Judge JR in the case of Citizens United v. FEC...Roberts apparently only wanted to keep this ruling to apply to political ads, but “Strip Search Sammy” Alito wanted to expand it to the universe to cover ALL corporate campaign spending...given that, here is Keith Olbermann’s Special Comment on that sorry day once more...
...and whenever the insanity gets to be too much, I try to retreat in my mind to our blue state paradise (not sure when we’ll be able to get there again in person), and part of that includes streaming WMVY online because you can rest assured that you’ll hear good new and older music, and this tune falls into the former category...might be my new theme song of sorts for a little while.
