Today's Podcast
At about 43:00, BlueGal reviews an article on Healthcare spending that has just about everything I need to know about Consumer Behavior. ie: in an effort to get people to be more thoughtful and circumspect in how they spend their healthcare dollar, a company raised their deductible (so people had "skin in the game" I assume). But instead of shopping around for better doctors and/or better deals, people just cut back on going to their doctors - eg: they stopped getting the colonoscopies that prevent ass cancer because they didn't go to their doctors for regular checkups so they weren't properly informed and reminded. etc etc etc.
And Bible Bitch is pretty good again this week.

Today's Quote
This applies to not a few revolutionaries and militarists and other apostles of violence. They are actuated, usually without their knowledge, by hatred; the destruction of what they hate is their real purpose, and they are comparatively indifferent to the question of what is to come after it.
--Bertrand Russell
Today's Tweet
Trump seems even more terrifyingly uninformed when you read his words as text. Here is the ONLY thing he’s ever said about the war in Yemen: pic.twitter.com/qyP7xyXDjV— Jonathan Riley (@JonRiley7) January 6, 2017
Somethin' wrong with that guy.

More Lying Numbers
- Clinton got 2.8 Million votes more than Trump, but Trump's the new Prez.
- In races for the House, Repubs got 49% of the votes and 55% of the seats.
- In the Senate, the GOP owns a "majority" even though the Dems got 23 Million more votes.
The GOP Plan
Coming soon to an America near you.

Cuz I can. Cuz you can't stop me. Cuz if you stop me, I'll find another way to fuck you over.
Cuz that's how we do things now.
I get to do whatever you can't force me to stop doing.
Cuz fuck you, that's why.
FYI
Mitch McConnell says "the American people won't tolerate obstruction...".
Now, I'm not completely stoopid (kinda, sometimes, but not completely), and while my memory isn't all that photographic, I'm not a fucking goldfish either, so my first reaction is "The fuck I won't".
But it's good to remember also that when a Repub says "the American people", he's referring to the 23% of the GOP crazies that make up the Radical Right - people he can count on to show up whenever he whistles.
So we gotta push back - loudly and publicly - it's important to let our "leaders" know what we think, and one quick and easy delivery system for that feedback is to tweet at them. So here's an infographic listing all the Twitter handles of the US Senators sitting on the Judiciary Committee.
Hammer 'em.
