All eyes are on the Supreme Court once again as this term winds down. Today we learned the fate of marriage equality in the USA. I also gave our resident Republican, John LeBoutillier, one last chance to redeem himself after showing his climate denier stripes. And we segue into the weekend with our Flashback Friday musical blast from the past. Today, it's my interview with XTC from 2000 and a bonus session with Wilco from 1999.
Annnd … the GOP quotable moments in advance of the 2016 Big Dance just keep rolling in. Whether they aim to attack Obama or presumed Dem front-out-runner Hillary Clinton doesn't seem to change the calibre or quantity of the opposition ammo. Giuliani already put hisself' 'pon the Public Pillory of Snark when he inserted his mayoral opining into a discussion of young black men and 'shootings' last year, wasn't that special? On Red Meat the Press, no less, he c-ch-ch--choked out this morsel of bilious Ick, White police officers wouldn't be in black neighborhoods, killing black men, "if you weren’t [...]
And … she sings. Yes, this is indeed the same Lauren Mayer of The Political Carnival fame! She's graciously agreed to let us post her highly hilarious musical satirizations and observations here at Laffy's Place at Radio or Not as well, and more tickled I could not be to have the pleasure of introducing her. Lauren's description of this week's 'tribute' to 50 Shades of Grey: The Real Reason Behind the Success of "50 Shades Of Triple Crap" The runaway success of these books (and now the movie based on the first one) could be seen as a sign [...]
It's going to be a busy Bernie week, his hair will be standing straight up by nightfall Wednesday. As the discussions of Authorizing the Use of Military Force in Congress bounce back and forth, Sanders tries to sue for peace when he gets a chance. He was also not having a whole lot of Netanyahu, refusing the R.S.V.P. early in a stand against John Bo(eh)ner's politico power-grabby move. The test of our progress... - Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt pic.twitter.com/Kzi2zn5K5K— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) February 16, 2015 The SAVE Act, signed into law by President Obama last week, meant a good deal [...]
Maddow brought The Bears. We were delighted with the hologrammed owl already featured, imagine many regular Maddow watchers are fans of her quirky April Fool humor that prompts just these sorts of things on messnbc air Live … that Jon Stewart and John Oliver must salute … but 'Da Gay Librul' Pacific Coast Tech Bears were a triumph. Meet C.J. Phillips and Charlie Rainwater - pictured above, as a matter of fact, the self-described high-tech gay 'bears' who had the liberal foresight to purchase the domain name for www.JebBushForPresident.com back in 2008 -- and are instead using the site [...]

These are the days it pays to put on the Orvis Waders and watch Morning Schmoe and Meeka at dawn’s arse crack. So you don’t have to. Skeletons in the GOP Way Back Machine … Dog Bless the Internets. Prior fetid statements from the fresh senator that Progressive Arkansans may be already cotton to. […]
