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!

Going Solo- Kindle Edition

–> CAN.NOT.WAIT. For Melissa Harris-Perry’s show next week. She nailed her analysis of marriage, religious controls,  and women’s control of their fertility! She’s such a smarty pants!

Up With Chris Hayes (Video) Jan. 21, 2012

Chris Hayes

Great show. Probably the best intellectual conversations on MSM today. I was raised on “Crossfire” every night, imo, nothing stimulates the grey matter like defending your position against valid critiques. ♥ it!

Enjoy!

Up with Chris Hayes-GOP Debate Recap-12-11-11

If you couldn’t drag your arse out of bed Sunday morning in time to catch  the weekend morning show Up with Chris Hayes, (I overslept myself) Watch it here. The Debate wrap up is definitely worth the time, especially if you’re a fellow Political Junkie.

I really wish there was transcript available for this particular show. This group of analysts articulated quite a few of my own take-aways from Saturday’s debate.

I’ll probably re-watch this and pick out some of the points I thought were most relevant, and those I think are complete rubbish.

I’d LOVE to know what bits of the GOP debate got your knickers in a twist! please comment away
