Cries and Whispers

No, not really.

• In memoriam:  Vo Nguyen Giap, general.
• Yes, that is "Radar Love" in the background.
• There's a reason for that elastic cord on your masks:  Zandar of Zandar Versus The Stupid caught an exchange between his Senators on strategy on live microphone.

  What the Wonder Twins here don't understand is the vast majority of Americans are against the idea of shutting down the government over Obamacare. They think that America is going to blame the Democrats for this for refusing to scrap a law that passed in 2010, was upheld by SCOTUS in 2012, and topped by President Obama's re-election 11 months ago.
  
  Like Team Romney a year ago, these idiots think they've already won. They're completely baffled as to how anyone could side with Obama over this. They think Obama will cave any minute now.
  
  The one person these two morons don't care about? You.
  
  Keep that in mind.

• Texas is preventing old ladies from voting.  Mmm-hmmmmmmmmmm.  Via skippy.
• The playoffs are under way.  Oooh, the suspense.  (The Cincinnati Reds have already fired Dusty Baker.)
• Redbone (the band) is Chicano/Native American.  Never knew that.
