Time to celebrate the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell — The History of G.I. Disco compilation album is ideal (available at iTunes here)

Totally out of the DADT loop? A brilliant catch-up session:

[above] Rachel Maddow live at the 92nd Street Y with:

  • Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Victor Fehrenbach, F-15 fighter pilot facing discharge from the Air Force under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, after 19 and a half years of service and multiple combat deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan — he has been decorated with nine air medals including one for heroism
  • Major Mike Almy, who was discharged from the Air Force under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
  • Katie Miller, former Cadet Sergeant at West Point, transferred out because of the compromise of her integrity of living under the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy
  • Captain Jonathan Hopkins, who was discharged from the Army after three combat deployments in both Iraq and Afghanistan where he earned three Bronze Stars, one with Valor

Confused/living underneath a rock since September? More information: …And so I thought it only fitting to send the Tea Party candidate and Delaware’s Republican nominee for the Senate Christine O’Donnell along a congratulatory gift basket from Babeland — as it is her constitutional right, after all. The enclosed note [screenshot above] does stipulate that she only ought to partake in her present after familiarizing herself with that Constitution and Bill of Rights which she claims to “hold so dear” and in such high regard. (Plus committing those Amendments to memory could come in handy with the whole running-for-the-Senate-as-a-vigilant-upholder-of-the-Constitution thing.) Enjoy your gifts! The fringe candidates in our country, as bankrolled by huge corporations — and in some cases, single donors operating sub rosa via “non-profit” schemes — are leveraging fear and playing on the fanatical periphery’s brewing racism. This discriminatory fearmongering is only escalating in tandem with the Tea Party’s pandering ascent of the Republican Party.  Today’s political atmosphere is, in my view, like a surreal déjà vu of McCarthyism… meets Jim Crow xenophobia/nativism… hyped up on Glenn Beck crazy juice. And so I beg you fashion folk: please vote!
