Again, because of my bat$hit long crazy - a$$ rather craptacular day, I didn't have time for "traditional" diary prep, so I'll try to include some SPARK in comments.
"Cash Warfare" - I think Elizabeth Warren might - just MIGHT - be over all this "class warfare" $hit. :D Rachel compared Elizabeth Warren to the dramatic chipmunk? Uh, I'm not sure that's a compliment. ;D Oh, and I don't see the young lady, either, in that picture - at all. "The usual suspects" think Elizabeth Warren is the reincarnation of Trotsky, Marx, etc. Over $915K has already been raised for Ms. Warren's Senate bid. Senator Nude Cosmo's campaign treasure chest is just a wee bit bigger because of Wall Street - old news. The financial system of the EU is about to go over a cliff - literally. Well, look who's chatting up the Occupy Wall Street stuff FINALLY?! Well, better late than never, I guess. Chris Hayes is in studio in a sailor shirt. He's auditioning for the Village People? ;D Oh, and he's giving his take on Occupy Wall Street, too. "Normal channels" to redress grievances just don't cut it anymore because 99.9999999999999999999999% of politicians are beholden to interests that want to keep "normal channels" broken.
"Unalienable" - Citizens of NC get to vote in May whether or not to add an anti - same sex marriage amendment to their state Constitution. Look at all that tolerance down South; and people wonder why all of it's on my "Won't Travel There Even If My Life Depended On It" list. *&^%$#@! Mississippi gets to vote on who or what a person is. Mississippi GOBPers in 2011 to the tune of 46% think interracial marriage should be illegal? OK, just a second, I think I blacked out there for a bit, so I need to back up the 'ol DVR to double check something I think I misread. Nope, I didn't misread; Mississippi GOBPers in 2011 to the tune of 46% think interracial marriage should be illegal! Words fail me, and that don't happen real often. Even in light of that enlightened Mississippi view of interracial marriage, Rachel thinks there just might be a way for this personhood $hit will fail because of language concerning birth control. Well, I sure as $hit can't to go Mississippi because they'd think I was a murderer! OK, I'm not sure how much more I can take of this $hit. And, Mrs. Bretty Favre's going to speak at some event; well, there's yet another reason to think the Favres are boils on the butt of humanity, and there was already ample reasons before. OK, I have to bail on this segment; I think something in my brain's about to pop.
"...other people's habits." - Keith must not have a "non competition clause" for his guests & contributors because Ken Burns is chatting up Prohibition with Ms. Rachel. ;) Was that Peter Coyote doing the voice over work? Uh Rachel dear heart, I really think your faithful TRMS diarist deserves a TRMS cocktail shaker gratis. What say you all? :D It seems Mr. Burns is chatting up similar points he discussed with Keith the other night, so I'm moving on. If Rachel asks something that wasn't covered the other night, please comment. :D
"AmBADASSador" - GWB withdrew diplomats from Syria because they were bad, and we weren't ever ever EVER supposed to talk with bad people because we'd look weak & cowering (St. Ronnie talking it up with the Soviets notwithstanding). When President Obama decided to send diplomats BACK to Syria even though we're still not real thrilled with them, the GOBP threw such a fit & got such the vapors President Obama had to do a rare (for him) recess appointment for the post. Robert Ford is the lucky so - and - so who got Syria duty, and he's gone all over Syria to check out the protests. :D The Syrian government was less - than - thrilled, so they've done their best to make his life "lovely." His convoy was attacked today by government forces. SOS Clinton ain't a happy camper; I imagine SOS Clinton is not someone you want to pi$$ off - just ask her husband!
"Debunktion Junction" - Jon Huntsman isn't in danger of being disinvited to debates - yet. FL is getting ready to move its GOBP primary to late January; all other states will move up their primaries, too. So, Iowa citizens get to see some prime GOBP bat$hit during the holiday season!
