Tom Lehrer is great. But I bet I hadn't seen or heard that in 20 years. That was made in 1965.

After I started listening to Pandora, I put the Chad Mitchell Trio in as a "seed" group for a "station". I heard a lot of Tom Lehrer songs I hadn't heard in ages, including New Math.

He was big in the 60s. You have to be of that era to remember those songs or somehow stumble on him. I remembered the song today because the arithmetic the GOP is using is just as convoluted. Not sure who the Chad Mitchell Trio is though. Guess I need to Google it.

Their best song is "John Birch Society", with "Friendly Liberal Neighborhood Ku Klux Klan" as a runner up, but they had other good ones, too. They were before my time, but I heard their songs.

He seems to be trying to pressure the governor in to cheating for him, second tweet today aimed at Kemp

Trump Tweets

Almost ZERO ballots rejected in Georgia this election. In years past, close to 4%. Not possible. Must have signature check on envelopes now. Very easy to do. Dems fighting because they got caught. Far more votes than needed for flip. Republicans must get tough!

Trump keeps using the argument there is no way he lost.

Sad.
 
Georgia has just completed its vote audit, with Biden beating Trump by 12,284 votes. It looks like certification will be made later on Friday.

I'll throw in here my concurrence, and a missive against the kind of complacency SG is mooting and purveying.

SG as in me or Greg or someone/thing else?

How does one moot and purvey at the same time.

Who is doing this preparing? :confused:

The Democrats need to quit playing the Republicans' game. They need to demand an end to this farce. While the Republicans are playing there little racist game of trying to disenfranchise citizens in Detroit and Philadelphia they are also ignoring that Trump lost America by 6 million votes. This has to be on the lips of every Democratic official and leading every writtten statement they make.

Ding ding ding! Yes!

Judge tosses AZ GOP suit about how an audit is conducted (by vote center instead of by precinct) in Maricopa County. The remedy sought was to delay certification.

It's about time the courts put their foot down and called this crap frivolous.

The GOP has always been good at messaging. The whole party repeats the same crap lines. It doesn't matter if they are true. And that becomes the story. If you try and refute the claims you just reinforced what the story is. Instead you pivot away from it and push your own narrative.

Sean Hannity has Ronna McDaniel on to talk about voter fraud, or Laura Ingraham has a "whistleblower" on air and has Ron DeSantis on air to talk about legislature's overturning the popular vote in swing states, or Tucker Carlson puts out a list of fake dead people who voted, or Lou Dobbs says it's not a free and fair election and it's Trump's rightful second term or brings that maniac poll worker and her lawyer on air, or Newt Gingrich calls it a stolen election

That was all on Fox News, you can see some of it here but the rest isn't very difficult to find:

You're right. Here's my mistake:
I'll even let you define "mainstream media".

I don't think of Fox as mainstream news. But you got to call it.

To the larger point: I agree with you; Fox is a liability to democracy and the USA.

In no time at all, I shall be vindicated. :D ;)

It's long past time to let the coup nonsense die on the hill Trump is still trying to hold.

If I could draw cartoons, I would draw a giant Don T Quixote on a teeny little hill and people simply walking around it.

Their "news" is usually accurate, but not entirely. If they told me it was raining, I'd go look for myself rather than trust them.

A right wing bias can exist even if the stories they report on are completely accurate. The choice of which stories to carry is equally important. If it's raining outside but they accurately report on topic X, you might not know about the rain. That's the problem that I see with the right wing bubble; there's just no other source that is consumed by the goobers so that's all they know.
