1 - President Obama's Veto Pen Just Killed the GOP's Effort to Gut the Clean Water Act

m'eye thoughts:  Just days after the Flint crisis became widely known, the GOP-led Congress voted to gut the Clean Water Act.  Clueless? Heartless? Stupid? Delusional? Paid off by polluting business owners?  Take your pick

2 - GOP Lead-Poisoning Truthers Say Flint Water Crisis 'Vastly Overstated' -- and Might Even Be a 'Hoax' 

"This has been a vastly overblown crisis, perpetuated by a lot of politicians with an ax to grind and, for that matter, the news media, and some national figures, some political, some entertainers who don't know what they're talking about."

3 - We Watched Sarah Palin's Trump Endorsement Speech So You Don't Have To (video)

"Right-wingin', bitter clingin' proud clingers of our guins, our God, our religion, and our Constitution." (Yeehaw!)
