FDL’s Book Salon: The Book of O(bama): From Hope, the Disgust, to Revolt Under Obama. “How did a charismatic young president elected in an atmosphere of optimism and expectation lead the United States to the brink of revolution? From a chance encounter in the early 1980s to the Democratic primaries of 2007-08, syndicated columnist and political cartoonist Ted Rall was one of the first to size up Barack Obama as we know him now: conservative, risk-averse and tonedeaf. In The Book of Obama Rall revisits the rapid rise and dizzying fall of Obama—and the emergence of the Tea Party and Occupy movements—and draws a startling conclusion: We the People weren’t lied to. We lied to ourselves, both about Obama and the two-party system. We voted when we ought to have revolted.” Chat with author/cartoonist Ted Rall, hosted by our friend watertiger. 5pm ET.

This isn’t your typical bidding war — these dealers will be shelling out their own big bucks for high ticket items that demand the necessary expertise to strike a good deal.” “Our guest is Patrick Painter, a top art dealer, who’ll be talking about art collecting, deal making, trends in art and the James Earl Ray prison escape map which got MLK,Jr’s assassin on the streets in 1968.” With host Lisa Derrick, 8pm ET Monday.

Good morning, pups. Mr. Bruni is off today, so we have The Pasty Little Putz, Dowd, Friedman and Kristof. The Pasty Little Putz thinks he knows enough to tell us about “The Price of Health Care.” He babbles that for President Obama, the consequences of focusing early on health care may still prove disastrous. But Republicans have big problems of their own on the issue. MoDo is in Galway, Ireland. In “The Wearing of the Green” she tells us about something unthinkable, unimaginable and, for Irish dead-enders, unspeakable. The Moustache of Wisdom, in “Taking One for the Country,” says the leadership of Chief Justice Roberts could teach us all a lesson or two. Mr. Kristof is in Maseru, Lesotho. In “Africa on the Rise” he says this year’s win-a-trip voyage with a Rice University student begins in Lesotho, a nation symbolic of a continent’s promise.
Here they are.
The coffee and tea are ready, there are cold drinks in the fridge, and I’ve got chocolate croissants with fresh raspberries and blueberries. Apparently blueberries are now a larger crop in Georgia than peaches, so y’all eat up all those lovely anti-oxidants, you hear? Have a great day.
g’mornin’ Elliott and Marion. Rainwashed morning at the lake. Will be watching Up! with morning coffee. wkend guests sleeping in. Making fairy gardens is exhausting work.
Good morning. Same ole same ole on the Sunday morning faux news “shows.”
Wow! In all the years I’ve been reading these threads, I’ve never seen so many Democrats on the Sunday shows..
When they were pushing health insurance mandates, the GOP referred to mandates as “freeloader penalties.” Now Chief Justice Roberts points out that mandates are really taxes. That got me to thinking: aren’t all taxes simply freeloader penalties?
Speaking as a tax-and-spend liberal, I like that euphemism. It turns anti-tax GOP into “would-be freeloaders.” Think about it.
I presume most pups are American (I am), but I happen to be in Ottawa today. So I thought I should give a shout out to Canada Day. Big festivities happening. I really enjoyed walking around their capital last night. Their gov’t center is beautiful.
The bad news, however, is that Donna Brazile is still out there as the public face of the World’s Oldest Political Party. Her sell-by date was November 2000.
Strictly personal opinion, of course, but Chris Hayes is worth watching on both Saturday AND Sunday. Possibly the best, or perhaps the only good weekend jabber-fest going. Not the “usual suspects” week after week.
