Saturday Stuff

What a shame that ALEC is apparently struggling to keep members based on this – as an organization, I hope it dies a thousand deaths…



…and don’t think for a minute that the corporate-sponsored wingnuttia isn’t creeping all over academia too…



...and Rachel Maddow told us what Lex Luthor Scott is up to in FLA, but as this video tells us, he has a lot of ideological company, including the life form taking up space in the governor's mansion in Harrisburg...



...and a belated happy 50th birthday to Lars Ulrich of Metallica.

Thursday Stuff

(I also posted here, maybe for the last time at Wordpress...don't know yet.)

The day may have come and gone, but we're still in the season, people...



...and oh yes, Josh Barro and Richard Kim are all over Obama for the insurance quote - spare me (good for Chris Hayes for laying it on Stephen Fincher, though)...



...and the end of the last video is probably a good lead-in to this one, unfortunately...



...and I guess this tune marks the end of the holiday music season - sigh.

Merry Christmas 2013

All the best of the holiday season, as well as a great 2014 also, from me, Bill Evans, and Tony Bennett…



…and Nat too, of course.

Tuesday Stuff

If it's Christmas Eve, then it's time for Bing and Bowie...



...and this guy too.

Monday Stuff

Kudos to Drexel University sociologist Robert Brulle in these parts for “following the money” on climate change denial here (and as if we need any more of a reminder why this matters, the following clip from about 10 months ago tells us why)…



…and Rachel Maddow presents the truly epochal futility of the utterly wretched 113th Congress, including Mikey the Beloved (all the more reason to click here as far as I’m concerned)…



…turning to seasonal stuff…just sit back, watch, listen and enjoy.

Sunday Stuff

Time for seasonal stuff – and yes, this is a Christmas song…



…and I think ol’ Pearl is onto something here…



…and here is something a little less secular…



…and this never gets old, though in a way, I wish it would.
