Seth Meyers calls out the bogus charts, the constant interruptions, and the ridiculous lying from Republicans at the Planned Parenthood hearing this week. (Not a huge fan of Seth Meyers, but he nails it in this segment.)
I’m going to comment, but first I want to see what weird advice Bill Cosby gave Kenan Thompson.
Beautifully done. I hope Democratic candidates were watching and pound their GOP opponents into dust over this.
Yeah, I know. Wishful thinking.
Seth Meyers is hard to take but this was excellent.

They should pound, but it is against their instincts. I’m hoping someone like Carly will force the issue.
It felt like I was watching a ‘Weekend Update.’ He did a good job with that segment.
In other news - I’ve been in a days-long argument over Planned Parenthood with a Republican friend of mine and gave him lots of links to read. This just popped up on my feed, from said Republican:
The Republican party has forced me to stop identifying with them, the far right fringe has become to far out there. The Democrats and i have some very basic differences in general and their fringe on the left is as bad as the right. i guess i will change to independent for what the label is worth.
I hope I had something to do with this post (minus the MBF, of course). I’ll keep working on him.

re: #64 The Vicious Babushka
Oregon law on firearms on school grounds:
Oregon has enacted legislation relating to firearms in schools. ORS 166 establishes that under certain conditions (e.g., obtaining a concealed weapons permit) an individual is allowed to carry and conceal a firearm, including in public facilities such as schools. But, Oregon courts have upheld the right of employers to set reasonable work rules, including establishing rules surrounding the carrying of weapons in the workplace. In regard to students, ORS 339 states that students are prohibited from bringing a firearm to school. If a student is found to have brought a firearm to school, then he/she is subject to a one-year expulsion. The superintendent is allowed to review each situation on a case-by-case basis and make an exception to the mandatory expulsion requirement. A student may seek enrollment in another K-12 program, but admission is at the district’s discretion.
The result of both state and federal laws is:
Students are prohibited from carrying and/or possessing firearms while on school property and face up to a one-year suspension if found to have a firearm while at school.
Members of the general public who are legally authorized to carry a concealed weapon are allowed to carry their firearm while on school property.
School districts, education service districts (ESDs) and community colleges can establish a work rule prohibiting the carrying of firearms while employees and volunteers are at work.
That applies to public schools (K-12). Since this is a community college, members of the general public who are legally authorized to carry a concealed weapon are allowed to carry their firearm while on school property.
I’d go out on a limb and say that Hoft is wrong.

But let’s kick all the illegal aliens and Muslims out of the US (regardless of citizenship) because, reasons.
Also, I love how Newman said he was trapped in the Denver airport “like a man without a country” when HE’S A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES AND COULD HAVE WALKED OUT WITHOUT INCIDENT. It’s almost noon, I think I’m going to need a 3 V&T lunch
Unfortunately, this being Oregon I’m sure the shooting is being blamed on Liberals already.

Roseburg was tense before environmentalists even reared their fuzzy little heads. The town has been at the mercy of land speculators, then logging companies, and now international corporations that want to do who knows what. The environmentalists just gave the townies some focus.
