the rachel maddow show w/ @chrislhayes are thankful

i usually catch my hippie/liberal/socialist/commie propaganda the next day, online. so, sorry if you've already seen this. rachel is out on vacation, but chris hayes does a great job fillin' in for her.
i really liked this section about things to be thankful for. things we usually take for granted and are vilified by the right wing.

peligrosa all stars + dave nada @ club deville, november 19th 2010

we sure know how to throw a party down hurrrrr!
finally got cold in austin, in time for @dave nada to heat tings up w/the peligrosa crew @ club deville.
before dave got to bust out some tracks, some dummy @ the red river flats across the street called 5-0 to send our dancin' asses inside the club.
despite this interruption in moombahton services, the party picked up right where pagame/hobo d/dj orión/sonora/manolo black left off.
dave sure got everyone sweatin' & dancin'. breakin' doors & windows. glad the narcs didn't show up for that!
before the fotos, check out this rad video flier that orión put together:

@maddow's THE interview: a north carolina abortion provider talks about life w/a price on his head

on monday night, msnbc's the rachel maddow show got to interview the latest abortion provider who has become a target of the infamous "wanted" posters. the posters that the anti-choice movement claims is not their doing and/or should be protected as free speech.
it's a pretty chilling view into the courage it takes to do this job. a life SAVING job. a LEGAL job.
it's scary how the anti-choice movement pushes all this hate/fear-mongering, then when some nut-job murders an abortion provider, they just claim "it wasn't us! we didn't mean for nut-job X to KILL abortion provider Y"
it takes an amazing amount of hubris for these people to just claim there's no blood on their hands in these cold-blooded murderers.

rightwing humour from the belly of the beast or how i learned to love family regardless of political orientation

i find this humorous.
not the "joke" itself, obviously, but just the fact that "they" think it's humorous.
everyone has this.
everyone has a side of their family that they don't agree with politically.
i'm sure they also think my hippie/liberal/fag-lovin'/socialist/heathen "jokes" are dumb.
the thing about it is that when we all get together during the holidays, we can put all that aside & sit down for a nice dinner & cold adult bevvies, have conversations about what's going on in our lives, how the "kids" are doing & all that.
the fact that i find their points of views moronic, doesn't keep me from loving these people.

i got this email from my cousin with the following text:

"A good laugh… I apologize if you get offended… sometimes the truth hurts! ;)
There's an old saying that seems to apply: Creative minds are rarely tidy. I've used that often to explain my desk/workspace.
A picture is worth a thousand words...........
A person's mind and his desk..........."



just to recap:
creative minds = messy desks
"geniuses" = messy desks = creative
punchline:
obama [doing an address to the nation, btw] = "numb nuts"
result:
barrels filled w/laughter.
numb nuts who "wrote" this joke = messy desk = creative? = genius? [THAT should've been the punchline!]

no wonder the 1/2 hour news hour didn't make it!

200 million dollars a day! or how the right wing doesn't give a fuck about facts...

...& cares very little about their audience & their audience just laps it up.
but that's the right & it's the way they do shit & that's not the reason i'm writing abou† this.
i want to show how succinctly and fairly cnn's anderson cooper just busts this incredibly stupid rumor right outta the water.
check it out:



this is the type of red meat conservatives love and it's a precursor to my next post.
