Kagro in the Morning


Nov 14, 2014

Political Twitter was abuzz this morning with criticism of the "Mook Mafia" story and the indictment of former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship. Armando joins us for extended discussion of last night's buzz: yet more revelations of mass cell phone data vacuuming, and the latest developments in the #Pointergate story. A post-election and legislative lame duck session update from Michigan, via Rosalyn MacGregor. The latest song parody from Lauren Mayer. Impeachment-mania is back, apparently ignoring the previous lack of concern over Republican flexing of executive muscle, as documented by Jon Perr. Which reminded me of the time Mary Landrieu could have blocked an important nomination as leverage for her Hurricane Katrina grievances, but didn't. Weekend news grab bag: ISIS to mint its own coins; Solyndra losses reversed into profit; UT county repays inmates charged in "Pay For Stay" scheme; Mark Udall mulls reading the torture report.
