Rising Hegemon
Regarding claims that the BP oil spill is not as bad as it seems...ask yourself (and suggest that those making the claim ask themselves) one simple question: would you let your kid swim in the Gulf of Mexico?
On an entirely unrelated note, watch this.
P.S. I can think of a few offsets.
Update: I may keep adding to this post. No theme here. Just random stuff I'm coming across as I read the internets while I do my laundry.
Another reason to root for Elizabeth Warren (via The Baseline Scenario). I remember reading that case. Same no-need-to-question-my-assumptions-which-spring-from-years-of-being-fed-rightwing-horseshit-and-which-I-simply-refuse-to-question arguments in my class (in this case, civ pro), I'm afraid.
Since I gave up cable (and Joe Scarborough), I torture myself with Bloomberg radio in the AM. It's also a load shit, but it bubbles away in a slightly different crock. This morning: a lot of stuff about Charlie Rangel and Nancy Pelosi (the hosts are always after Pelosi, whom they despise), but nary a word about the Wyly Brothers.
This trailer would have been terrific, if only someone had stopped it at 0:53 with the words, "You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies."
On a related note, is there a bad cover of Radiohead's Creep? If there is, I haven't heard one.

After watching the video on Dependable Renegade, I feel I'm totally caught up on the last five years of Morning Joe. Three hours a day and so little is ever said ...

Too late, Res. That sensible rebuttal won't work anymore. Not since the Big Oil shills have moved on to this talking point: "The Gulf was already f-d up before the BP spill."
AM teevee should be avoided like AM radio.
