The Jon Stewart [#2] and the drumline videos [#4] are excellent, and #5 makes you think.....
1/ Frank Rich with a look at the race baiting on the right from the conservative media and Fox News, the same sex marriage issue vs Republican politicians and Charlie Hebdo....this is a little late, but insights like his are worth waiting for......
Most weeks, New York Magazine writer-at-large Frank Rich speaks with contributor Alex Carp about the biggest stories in politics and culture. This week, the magazine asked him about the politicization of the Baltimore riots, Supreme Court oral arguments on same-sex marriage, and writers' protests of Charlie Hebdo.
Conservative reaction to the unrest in Baltimore sometimes looks like a page out of the old "silent majority" playbook. The right has so far blamed the crisis on unions, welfare, single-parent families, Democrats, the "animalism" of Baltimore residents, and President Obama. Is there a political agenda taking root to exploit this crisis in 2016?
If there is, the country is going to pay a huge price. To exploit urban riots as a wedge issue, as Richard Nixon did in 1968, is to pour gasoline on the flames. And there is reason to fear it is already happening. At the crudest level — as Larry Wilmore graphically demonstrated on Comedy Central last night — we have the spectacle of Fox News commentators falling over themselves to repeat the name of one particular Baltimore gang, the Black Guerrilla Family, over and over. (Such other Baltimore gang names as the Bloods and the Crips just don’t cut it anymore if you are in the scaring-whites business.) At the more serious level, we have a lead columnist in this morning’s New York Post all but wishing that New York might become “another Baltimore” so that blame can be placed on its Democratic mayor and the Democrats in general.

2/ An classic Jon Stewart with Al Madrigal, Senior Latino Correspondent. Five excellent minutes.....
Madrigal catches Stewart with an unscripted line, and look at Jon's reaction....very funny indeed, and now you have a new name for a familiar politician!
A must watch for Florida residents.....
Jon Stewart tonight tackled the obvious pandering to Latinos going on from the 2016 candidates, from Hillary Clinton to Jeb Bush. Stewart brought on Al Madrigal to help dissect the pandering, and he admitted he wasn’t terribly impressed with Clinton’s, especially considering empty promises made from a certain 2008 Democratic presidential candidate about immigration reform.
Madrigal also mocked Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio a bit for not being “real” Latinos, because they’re Cuban, “a snooty subset.” He said they basically “threw away a path to citizenship for a path to the White House.”
3/ Race and poverty are under serious discussion after Baltimore, but most of it is shallow or Fox News "blame the poor" rhetoric. Paul Krugman with an excellent column in the Times......
An intelligent discussion, not the pandering BS we usually get.....
Every time you’re tempted to say that America is moving forward on race — that prejudice is no longer as important as it used to be — along comes an atrocity to puncture your complacency. Almost everyone realizes, I hope, that the Freddie Gray affair wasn’t an isolated incident, that it’s unique only to the extent that for once there seems to be a real possibility that justice may be done.
And the riots in Baltimore, destructive as they are, have served at least one useful purpose: drawing attention to the grotesque inequalities that poison the lives of too many Americans.
Yet I do worry that the centrality of race and racism to this particular story may convey the false impression that debilitating poverty and alienation from society are uniquely black experiences. In fact, much though by no means all of the horror one sees in Baltimore and many other places is really about class, about the devastating effects of extreme and rising inequality.
Take, for example, issues of health and mortality. Many people have pointed out that there are a number of black neighborhoods in Baltimore where life expectancy compares unfavorably with impoverished Third World nations. But what’s really striking on a national basis is the way class disparities in death rates have been soaring even among whites.
Most notably, mortality among white women has increased sharply since the 1990s, with the rise surely concentrated among the
poor and poorly educated; life expectancy among less educated whites has been falling at rates reminiscent of the collapse of life expectancy in post-Communist Russia.
4/ I'm sure you have seen bands with synchronized drumming, but you have never seen anything like this five minute video of the [Secret] Swiss Army Drumline Band.....it's astonishing.....enthralling and just amazing....I've run out of adjectives for once.
Make sure you watch it.....
And it's the "secret" band because technically Switzerland doesn't have an army!
5/ I know my occasional reference to "the stupids" must rankle some of you, but have you ever thought how people outside this country perceive us? When the Governor of Texas alerts his National Guard about federal troops taking over Texas, this gives you a clue as to how stupid and paranoid they are.........
Here is a fascinating story in the Canadian magazine "Macleans" on how we are experiencing the end process of the dumbing down of America, a wave of anti-science and anti-intellectualism that threatens to paralyze our institutions and governments, and how the stupids are easily manipulated into voting directly against their own interests.....
It's scary stuff......everywhere you look - idiots. And it's as bad in Floriduh as it is in Texas.....

South Carolina’s state beverage is milk. Its insect is the praying mantis. There’s a designated dance—the shag—as well a sanctioned tartan, game bird, dog, flower, gem and snack food (boiled peanuts). But what Olivia McConnell noticed was missing from among her home’s 50 official symbols was a fossil. So last year, the eight-year-old science enthusiast wrote to the governor and her representatives to nominate the Columbian mammoth. Teeth from the woolly proboscidean, dug up by slaves on a local plantation in 1725, were among the first remains of an ancient species ever discovered in North America. Forty-three other states had already laid claim to various dinosaurs, trilobites, primitive whales and even petrified wood. It seemed like a no-brainer. “Fossils tell us about our past,” the Grade 2 student wrote.
And, as it turns out, the present, too. The bill that Olivia inspired has become the subject of considerable angst at the legislature in the state capital of Columbia. First, an objecting state senator attached three verses from Genesis to the act, outlining God’s creation of all living creatures. Then, after other lawmakers spiked the amendment as out of order for its introduction of the divinity, he took another crack, specifying that the Columbian mammoth “was created on the sixth day with the other beasts of the field.” That version passed in the senate in early April. But now the bill is back in committee as the lower house squabbles over the new language, and it’s seemingly destined for the same fate as its honouree—extinction.
What has doomed Olivia’s dream is a raging battle in South Carolina over the teaching of evolution in schools. Last week, the state’s education oversight committee approved a new set of science standards that, if adopted, would see students learn both the case for, and against, natural selection.
6/ Bill Maher on the Republicans jockeying for the Presidential nomination whose foreign policies are all "bomb the bastards"......it's like the disaster in Iraq never happened.....
Bill Maher went after Republicans in his New Rule tonight for the “same empty tough guy talk from chickenhawks” that was going on in the lead-up to the Iraq War, indicating to him they’ve learned nothing.
Maher borrowed from a Romper Room bit (look here if you don’t know what that is) to contrast “Do Bee” Barack Obama with “Don’t Bee” George W. Bush. He said Obama’s basically done all the right things, whereas Bush was a “huge fuck-up.”
And what troubled Maher was that just like back then, the U.S. is being “baited” by ISIS into another “unnecessary war” and the Republicans falling for it all over again.
7/ The cartoonist Tom Tomorrow on the secret monster who's behind the election fever that's obsessing the media, 17 months before the election.......
8/ John Oliver with an excellent look at standardized school testing......this is one of his good ones - funny, informative comedic journalism......looking at the corruption that's eating away at our society like a cancer.....
By the way a couple of the examples are, of course, Floriduh.......seventeen minutes.....
Think John Oliver can’t talk his way into an argument that our education system’s mania for testing “is a system that has enriched multiple [testing] companies,…pays and fires teachers with a cattle-birthing formula, confuses children with talking pineapples, and has the same rules regarding transparency that Brad Pitt had for Fight Club” – with a dancing monkey? Think again.
“Standardized tests: the fastest way to terrify any child with just five letters outside of just whispering the word ‘clown’.” He began. Oliver explained how standardized tests impact school funding, the achievement gap, how often kids are expected to throw up.
9/ We are the most violent "civilized" country in the world.....more people get shot in America than anywhere else.....but behind the headlines is the real cost of all of the shootings.....medical expenses.....
A very interesting and thoughtful article on the numbers the NRA would rather you ignore.....
chapters
It was a mild, crystal clear desert evening on November 15, 2004, when Jennifer Longdon and her fiance, David Rueckert, closed up his martial-arts studio and headed out to grab some carnitas tortas from a nearby taqueria. They were joking and chatting about wedding plans—the local Japanese garden seemed perfect—as Rueckert turned their pickup into the parking lot of a strip mall in suburban north Phoenix. A red truck with oversize tires and tinted windows sideswiped theirs, and as they stopped to get out, Rueckert's window exploded. He told Longdon to get down and reached for the handgun he had inside a cooler on the cab floor. As he threw the truck into gear, there were two more shots. His words turned to gibberish and he slumped forward, his foot on the gas. A bullet hit Longdon's back like a bolt of lightning, her whole body a live wire as they accelerated toward the row of palm trees in the concrete divider.
The air bag against her was stifling, the inside of the cab hot. She managed to call 911. "Where are you shot on your body?" the dispatcher asked. "I don't know, I cannot move. I can't breathe anymore. Somebody help me," she pleaded. "I'm dying."
10/ This might make you a little uncomfortable, and even guilty for being amused by it because it's definitely comedy with an edge.
Key and Peele are the comics, and this is their riff on the epidemic of police violence.....they want to go back to "Negrotown".....
The new season of Comedy Central’s Key & Peele does not premiere until July 8, but Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele evidently felt this ambitious new sketch was just too relevant to keep off the internet until then.
In the piece, the unfortunately routine-seeming arrest of a black man for allegedly talking back to a cop leads to a Wizard of Oz-like awakening in a place called “Negrotown” where you can “walk the street, without getting stopped, harassed or beat.”
Of course, like most fantasies, it’s ultimately too good to be true.
Watch video below, via Comedy Central:
11/ A wryly amusing column from the Tampa Bay Times giving our venal, corrupt and excrescent Governor credit for a gigantic pair of stones.....she says "nerve" of course, but she really means stones.....
Noone can believe the shit he pulls.....and YOU voted him in.......
The governor's audacity is impressive, his shamelessness is without limits and his disregard for public perception remains strong.
This is the guy who helped build the nation's largest hospital chain, Columbia/HCA. He was the CEO whose empire made $1.5 billion in profit in 1996, awarded big bonuses to top executives and ruthlessly pressured low-performing hospitals to generate more revenue.
And now in the midst of a political stalemate over health care for low-income Floridians, the governor wants to create a commission to investigate hospital profits and health care costs.
This is the former hospital executive who resigned as the Justice Department investigated his company. That company later pleaded guilty to felony charges and paid a record fine for Medicare fraud.
And now the governor says Medicaid is a flawed program and the federal government cannot be trusted.

12/ A rerun I've watched at least three times - Jimmy Fallon and Emma Stone's lip-synching contest, one of the best clips ever.....and it's had 52 million hits.....
Seven excellent minutes....
13/ A couple gets carried away and has sex on the beach......and now they are facing 15 years in prison? No wonder the rest of the world looks at us as completely crazy.....
Think about it - a misdemeanor, and yes they shouldn't have done it on a public beach, but 15 years? Insane.....of course it was a Florida beach......
Hester Prynne got three hours on the scaffold and a scarlet 'A' sewn into her dress and generations of high school students felt deep in their guts that the Puritans wronged the woman. In a porn-soaked era this couple faces sanctions orders of magnitude more harsh. Why does the law even allow 15 years as a possibility? Granted, their sex on the beach was flagrant. They reportedly had intercourse in broad daylight, took a nap, and then did it again in view of a family. The accounts in the press make it sound like others on the beach saw neither genitals nor penetration but could definitely tell what the couple was doing.
What were they thinking?
Here are details from The Miami Herald:
Jose Caballero, 40, and Elissa Alvarez, 20, were charged with two counts each of lewd and lascivious behavior for having sex on a public beach on July 20, 2014. Video played in the courtroom during the 1- 1/2-day-long trial showed Alvarez moving on top of Caballero in a sexual manner in broad daylight. Witnesses testified that a 3-year-old girl saw them. A sentencing date was not announced, but Assistant State Attorney Anthony Dafonseca said they will pursue a harsher sentence for Caballero than Alvarez, since Alvarez has no prior record and Caballero has been to prison for almost eight years for a cocaine trafficking conviction.
The state will ask for jail time for Alvarez and prison time for Caballero. Dafonseca said due to Caballero being out of prison less than three years before committing another felony, he's looking at serving the maximum time of 15 years.
Let's assume they're guilty, as the jury found. They shouldn't have done what they did. But come on. 15 years in prison? No three-year-old is harmed by seeing adults on top of one another doing something no three-year-old understands. Mike Tyson got 6 years for raping a woman. These people may get more than double? Jamie Coffey's blood alcohol level was more than double the legal limit when he ran a red light, crashed his car, and killed Christina Stoddard. A Florida court gave him the maximum sentence: 15 years. Beach sex carries the same potential penalty as killing someone while driving drunk?
14/ This is one of the most unusual music videos yet seen.....it's by Son Lux - "Change Is Everything", and it's a labour of love - stop motion animation that's clever, witty and almost surreal......
Really interesting, and the music is hauntingly familiar......not sure if I've heard it before..........
Sometimes the simplest concepts are the most beautiful, and the most painstakingly difficult to achieve.
That's the best way to describe the new music video for Change Is Everything from Brooklyn-based artist and composer Son Lux. It's a simple stop-motion concept that involves a few foam core boards, 200 push pins, 500 feet of rubberized thread, and a whole lot of patience and dedication.
15/ Even though I still have not seen "Game Of Thrones", I know enough about it to be amused by this tongue in cheek comparison of Florida to the Kingdom......actually Florida is seven Kingdoms.....
Quite good......
A Game Of Thrones: the people of Miami and the populous South should
support the civic uprisings in the North ... by gimleteye
Florida is not run from the state legislature or the governor's executive office. Those rights and responsibilities belong to the billionaires who occupy the real thrones in their respective Florida Kingdoms. In Miami and Fort Lauderdale and on the beaches, they would have it that people are too apathetic and disconnected to pay attention to the civic uprisings in the north over billions of gallons of toxic waste being dumped by the US Army Corps of Engineers into the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Rivers.
The HBO series Game of Thrones isn't popular because it is science fiction. It is popular because in the science fiction there exists an accurate, secular parable of political power.
In the staging of George RR Martin's novel, there are no bicameral legislatures. No democracies-in-name-only like ours. Just money and power that covets at the point of a sword.
One can overlay that formula to describe Florida today and do perfectly well. Don't listen to Governor Rick Scott attempting to explain the rosy state of the state: just watch Game of Thrones and transpose it to Florida.
In Florida's Game of Thrones, there are also seven kingdoms.

Todays video - a wonderful show from the 90's was "Whose Line Is It Anyway", and this segment with Richard Simmons has to be one of the funniest things they ever did - it's up there with the classics of TV comedy.....
Even today, when gay comedy is normal, it's hysterical........the audience is part of it.......
Todays golf joke
A father, son and grandson went to the country club for their weekly round of golf. Just as they reached the first tee, a beautiful young blonde woman carrying her bag of clubs approached them.
She explained that the member who brought her to the club for a round of golf had an emergency that called him away and asked the trio whether she could join them.
Naturally, the guys all agreed.
Smiling, the blonde thanked them and said, "Look, fellows, I work in a topless bar as a dancer, so nothing shocks me anymore. If any of you want to smoke cigars, have a beer, bet, swear, tell off-colour stories or do anything that you normally do when playing a round together, go ahead. But, I enjoy playing golf, consider myself pretty good at it, so don't try to coach me on how to play my shots."
With that the guys agreed to relax and invited her to drive first.
All eyes were fastened on her as she bent to place her ball on the tee. She then took her driver and hit the ball 270 yards down the middle, right in front of the green.
The father's mouth was agape. "That was beautiful," he said.
The blonde put her driver away and said, "I really didn't get into it, and I faded it a little."
After the three guys hit their drives and their second shots, the blonde took out an eight iron and lofted the ball within five feet of the hole. (She was closest to the pin.)
The son said, "Damn, lady, you played that perfectly."
The blonde frowned and said, "It was a little weak, but even an easy seven would have been too much club. I've left a tricky little putt." She then tapped in the five-footer for a birdie.
Having the honors, she drove first on the second hole, knocked the heck out of the ball, and it landed nearly 300 yards away smack in the middle of the fairway.
For the rest of the round the blonde continued to amaze the guys, quietly and methodically shooting for par or less on every hole.
When they arrived at the 18th green, the blonde was three under par, and had a very nasty 12-foot putt on an undulating green for a par.
She turned to the three guys and said, "I really want to thank you all for not acting like a bunch of chauvinists and telling me what club to use or how to play a shot, but I need this putt for a 69 and I'd really like to break 70 on this course.
If any one of you can tell me how to make par on this hole I'll take him back to my apartment, pour some 35-year-old Single Malt Strath Mill Scotch in him, fix him a steak dinner and then show him a very good time the rest of the night."
The yuppie son jumped at the thought! He strolled across the green, carefully eyeing the line of the putt and finally said, "Honey, aim about 6 inches to the right of the hole and hit it firm. It will get over that little hump and break right into the cup."
The father knelt down and sighted the putt using his putter as a plumb. "Don't listen to the kid, darling', you want to hit it softly 10 inches to the right and let it run left down that little hogback, so it falls into the cup."
The old gray-haired grandfather walked over to the blonde's ball, picked it up and handed it to her and said, "That's a gimme, sweetheart."
The blonde smiled and said, "Your car or mine?"
She explained that the member who brought her to the club for a round of golf had an emergency that called him away and asked the trio whether she could join them.

Todays NRA joke
A guy walked into a crowded bar, waving his 1911 Colt pistol with a 7 round magazine with one in the chamber and yelled,
"I have a loaded .45 Colt, and I want to know who's been screwing my wife!"
A voice from the back of the room called out...
"You'll need more ammo!”
Just another example for needing high-capacity magazines.
