Up With Chris Hayes – Culture Wars Video 2/11/12

Does birth control matter to you? Have a socially progressive pet issue? Chances are it’s covered in this weeks Up With Chris Hayes.

1960 called, they want their politics back

Most of my regular readers know I watch every weekend (DVR and online baby! I like to get my beauty-sleep!) and I’m never dissapointed by the dissection discussion. It mimics the feel of coffee with friends after college classes. When all the nerds   my friends and I would gather to add to our professors latest insight, or have a running commentary on the economic impact of default student loans over cheap beer at Becky’s.

Long story short, I dig it. What can I say? I’m a fan.

I’ve read a few books based on show guests, and I haven’t been dissapointed yet.

Baratunde Thurston’s How to Be Black was drop dead hilarious.  I listened to it through my audible account while insomnia/packing and guffawed rather loudly a number of times. I was able to grin while packing (no easy feat) and learn a few things along the way, and according to How to be Black I’m well on my way to cafe au lait. (Happy February, lol, Wink Wink @baratunde )

Next on my list is Going Solo by one of Saturday’s guests, Eric Kinenberg.  He sold me when he commented on our culture’s conflation of “Living alone, being alone, and being lonely” .
Huzzah sir, you’re right on point!

SOUTH CAIN-OLINA PRIMARY RALLY (ROFL)

As a fan of satire in it’s myriad forms, I’m intrigued by Colbert’s presidential run,  and the light it is shining on the super PAC problem, but frankly, Cain’s participation is confusing? What is he getting out of this? Exposure for his “brand”? Book sales? idk, What do you think?

Leave a comment if you have an idea about this recent collaboration between Cain and Colbert.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE IMMEDIATELYNew South Carolina Poll Shows Enthusiasm for Both Stephen Colbert and Answering Questions from Strangers on the Telephone
LANDLINE COUNTRY, USA – A new poll from The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC and Marist College Institute for Public Opinion shows South Carolina voters having a decided interest in undecided potential candidate Stephen Colbert. Potential voters were so electrified by Colbert, 18% gushed they’d be at least “kinda somewhat likely” to vote for him.

Additionally, the poll revealed that four in ten potential voters said they were “not satisfied” with the current presidential candidates. Among those who said they were satisfied with the field, it is unclear how many did so with a heavy, resigned sigh. In a stunning pre-buttal to potential criticism, four in ten respondents said this poll was the most serious one they had ever taken.

“This poll confirms what those of us actively not coordinating with him already know: that Stephen Colbert would be the best choice for the President of the United States of South Carolina,” said Jon Stewart, President For Life For Now of the Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC. “He’s got everything voters are looking for: bold leadership, private sector experience, and a first name that isn’t synonymous with a baseball glove.”

The full results of the poll can be found at The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC website and The Marist Poll website. Everything else on the internet can be found on every other website.

The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC, officially known as Americans For A Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, is an independent, expenditure-only committee that has made great strides in not giggling every time it hears the phrase “taking a poll.”

#SOPA- Like a Neverending Visit from your Parents-Video

lmao! Another great video from a snazzy blogger, The Blogess. Watch and enjoy. but above all, pay attention and educate yourself about SOPA. 

I don’t know much about SOPA, but I do know two things…I don’t like internet censorship and I should really research these things better. Also, when I say I found these facts on the internet I really mean that I made them up and then posted them on the internet. If SOPA was here I bet this would be censored.
