Just another day in paradise, boys & girls! Sorry, that's all I got right now. ;D
Let's move to "this day in history"; maybe, that'll get the "whimsy" going! On this date in 1940, Congress passed the Selective Training and Service Act, providing for the first peacetime draft in U.S. history. And, I'm damn sure that every single sparkin' chicken hawk war hawk today would've been declared 4F back then! Walter Koenig is 75 today, and if you've seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, you know Mr. Walter can scream just like Fay Wray. ;D
On with The Rachel Maddow Show!
"The Interview" - Oh, do we really need a repeat of the night now - Senator Nude Cosmo won?! I know Elizabeth Warren's running against him but still...*&^%$#@! 4 women have been sent to Congress from MA in their long history?! DAMN! Senator Nude Cosmo also has a tendency to say he's for something before he's against it & visa versa. He's also the most "Wall Street" of all the Senators; look at all those contributions from the industry! Holy crap!! Oh, this Senate race is gonna be a hoot. ;D Senator Nude Cosmo had quite a roll in gutting some of the financial reform bill, and he's being rewarded handsomely. Elizabeth Warren is going to have her work cut out for her; thank you Citizens United! *&^%$#@! And, here is Elizabeth Warren! Talking to MA families made her decide to enter the Senate race. There is a whole lot of hopelessness concerning our nation's capital now; it sounds like Ms. Warren's ready to combat that. Senator Nude Cosmo's peeps have already bought an "interesting" domain name to fight her. I hate to sound cynical here, but many a politician have made the same claims about "changing how Washington DC works." Once they get into office & get all that power, that "changing" shtick goes right down the terlet. It'll take a lot of moxy for her to not submit to that. Her primary opponent is a MA town mayor.
"Thumb on the Scale" - I remember that whole "bad bowling" memo for then - candidate Obama! Well, I suck at bowling, too, so I should run for POTUS!! ;D KIDDING! Good grief, my sanity, such as it is, would crumble. Rachel's chatting up the PA electoral college shenanigans, too! ;D Ya' gotta just love the GOBP faith in the electorate, yes? *&^%$#@! Ed Rendell gets to chat about the state he used to be Governor for; he called the potential practice "shameful." Some GOBP in PA aren't even wild about this plan.
"OMG - Men" - People are still asking about "real" birth certificates. NICE! World Net Daily has been making life interesting for awhile. Islamic values are a source for terrorism; huh, ya' learn something new every day. ;D Some FBI training materials are reflecting this belief? Again NICE!! Spencer Ackerman dug all this up; he probably needed a shower afterwards. A whole mess of those inside the FBI are PI$$ED about this $hit being around their organization. Richard Engel's in studio to give his take on this subject. Sadly, this $hit ain't new.
"Hook, Line, and Sinker" - Remember that MLK parade plot in Spokane? The suspect was in the sparking parade! He plead guilty in court last week. He even had a camera on him IN the parade to get shots of the destruction.
There's that I - 64 bridge again! 1 in 3 bridges in KY suck donkey droppings. There's a ferry across the Ohio River now! Can I use that to get to the Louisville Slugger Museum? ;D
