How America, through our politicians, ACTUALLY treat our Veterans
As just one glaring example, Missouri's own Senator Roy Blunt has been wrapping himself in the American flag and all over the nation's Veterans on his Facebook page this weekend, yet his political party has repeatedly voted down benefits for those same Veterans.
Happy Memorial Day, indeed.

Mizzou comes out looking good on Michael Sam's announcement
After the announcement over the last few days of football player and possible NFL draft prospect Michael Sam from and at the University of Missouri-Columbia, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart covered the story last evening and our own Mizzou came out looking pretty darned good in what has got to be very prominent coverage:
Prominent coverage for young America, at least.
Kudos, Mizzou, You did the right thing.
Now if we can just get the rest of the state to not be homophobic, ugly, hateful and/or otherwise discriminatory.

John Oliver and the staff at "The Daily Show" got the Zimmerman verdict right
They got/get it right again, as they so usually do.
There's so much hypocrisy, ignorance and injustice coming out of this case and verdict, it's nearly mind-numbing.

Jeff City Representative protecting events that never happen
I got an education about my own home state, Missouri, today when watching an edition of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", of all places, on Comedy Central.
It seems one Wanda Brown of the Missouri State House of Representatives introduced a bill making it illegal for an employer to fire someone for owning a firearm.
Yes, seriously:
HB 1621 - Missouri House of Representatives
"Specifies that it will be an unlawful employment practice to discriminate against an individual because he or she has a concealed carry endorsement or uses a firearm for a lawful purpose."
Wow.
I'm really glad she introduced that one.
I keep hearing that happening all over the state, haven't you?

Warren Buffett, Part II on our wildly imbalanced and grossly unfair tax policies
Because it's important and not enough people are paying attention and fewer yet believe what he's saying:
The Oracle of Omaha on the Republicans' tax plans
They think the world of his investing ability. They just don't want to discuss political or social policy with him.

What will no doubt be a great, funny fundraiser tonight
Jon Stewart is having his "Night of Too Many Stars" fundraiser to benefit New York Collaborates for Autism and to help contribute to the development of autism schools, services and programs across the country. Tune in to "Night of Too Many Stars" live on Comedy Central and CC.com, tonight at 7 pm Central Time.
One out of every 110 children was diagnosed as autistic in 2010. This year, as Mr. Stewart says, "...just two years later, it's one in every 88."
Please watch, laugh and support, if you can.

Great question
“Why is it that if you take advantage of a tax break, you’re a smart businessman, but if you take advantage of something---he was referencing food stamps---you need to not be hungry, you’re a moocher?”
--Jon Stewart, last evening, in his mock debate against Bill O'Reilly

Quote of the day
“Nobody cares that Mitt Romney is rich. It’s Romney’s inability to understand the institutional advantage that he gains from the government’s tax code largesse, that’s a little offensive to people, especially considering Romney’s view on anyone else who looks to the government for things like, I don’t know, food and medicine.”

Mitt Romney, Candidate for President of Caucasiastan
No surprise. Jon Stewart hits it out of the ballpark yet again.

The Trayvon Martin tragedy and debacle, explained
Once again, Jon Stewart, the social and political observer and humorist brings terrific insight to a current topic:
The simple fact still remains, George Zimmerman is the known shooter and killer of Trayvon Martin. He needs to be arrested, charged with the crime and tried in a court of law to discern innocence or guilt. It's just that simple. No emotionalism, just let's get to the facts and move on.

Former Senator Russ Feingold on the big, ugly, corrupting money in our political system (and so, our government)
I was pleased to see and hear this interview go to the heart of our political and governmental problems here in the States--that is, the horribly corrupting influence of big money in our political system which then so corrupts our legislators, their legislation, our laws and so, finally, our government. We have to get the big, ugly, corrupting influence of this big money from corporations and the wealthy out of our political and governmental systems. If we don't, nothing will ever change for the better. If we don't do this, our representatives will continue working for those wealthy and corporations first and us, second, if ever.

Mitt Romney: Mr. Sincerity
Oh, yeah. Mitt Romney really "gets it." He's definitely "one of the people." He just oozes sincerity. Absolutely.
