What I will not write about today: Infuriating news + snark chaser

Sometimes I get so frustrated and/or disheartened and/or annoyed by some of the news stories of the day that I can’t bring myself to write about them. Here are a few recent reports that made my blood pressure hit the roof. I am avoiding delving into them at length out of concern for my physical and mental health. CIA torture report not likely to result in reforms or prosecutions: "The Justice Department has cast the matter as a closed case... Federal prosecutors will not reopen their investigation of whether criminal laws were broken by CIA guards and interrogators for mistreating [...]

Doonesbury explains “paranoid, gun-loving, right-wing birthers”

Garry Trudeau does it again. So what else is new, right? He's been taking a lot of time off from his daily Doonesbury strip to work on his TV series "Alpha House," so we're left with only his Sunday strips to give us our fix. Today he tackled the motivation behind the GOP's fear-based election ads. Unless you live under a rock, you are familiar with those mini-horror films: Terrorism will get you! No, EBOLA will kill you!! No, wait, it's those cantaloupey-calfed, thuggy, drug-dealingy, smelly, icky "illegals" that you should be afraid-- VERY afraid-- of!! Now get to the polls [...]

Phot-OH! #BlameObama

I still can't bring myself to write about the outrage, despair, and anger I feel about the election outcomes. But that doesn't mean I won't stop fighting for what's right, what's just, and what's liberal and progressive and good for the US of A. It only means that I won't subject myself to the stress that comes with ranting about the injustices and utter idiocy that we face, now that we have a Republican Congress. Instead, how about some facts? I'm no "Obama apologist," but credit where credit is due. Lately he's been executing some well-placed kicks in the ass. [...]

“Climate change ‘was not an issue at all, literally no salience with voters.'”

Ever feel like you're screaming, "Fire!!!!" in a burning building and nobody's listening? Check this out from the Los Angeles Times, and then link over to read the rest. It's an article about the millions Tom Steyer spent on climate change awareness in Tuesday's election, and of course, backing candidates who are not so comatose that they ignore what's happening to our planet: The GOP takeover of the Senate occurs as the science of climate change has grown more definitive and the predictions of widespread effects more detailed and dire. On Sunday, a panel of hundreds of climate scientists convened by [...]

“A minority voter staying home on election day is a vote for a Republican.”

Via one of my favorite Twitter pals ever, Clay Bennett Please read the last part of the following letter twice, and then share it with as many people possible. While you're at it, please vote. And while you're at it squared, please help everyone you can to get to the polls so that they can vote. In other words: Here is today's Los Angeles Times letter to the editor, because our voices matter: What immediately came to mind reading this article was the saying "cut off one's nose to spite one's face." It seems to me that's what the Latinos in [...]
