Must-See TV


Dumbledorf Pumpernickel, the so-called 45th President of the so-called "United" States, has invoked Emergency Powers to divert military funding from defense of the nation to his dumb-ass and pointless wall, you know, the one Mexico was supposed to pay for.

A real President, a true patriot, would have a lot of things to declare an emergency over, other than that he didn't get his way.  There's the climate change emergency and the economic inequality emergency and the racism and hate crimes emergency, not to mention the Russia's-interfering-with-our democratic-process emergency.

Atlanta's sweethearts, The Coathangers, address the gun violence emergency with their new song, discretely titled F the NRA. It's worth a watch, and the statistics and infographics appear to be accurate, too, but still, nothing hits the nail on the head quite like Negativland's 1992 video, Guns.
