Republicans are now working to address those ethnicities they haven't pissed off yet...

Republicans are now trying to figure out which ethnicities they haven't pissed off yet and are working to make those mad at them too. They are now insulting the First Indian American Miss America as "Not representing America's values" All I can say is, Americans with ancestry in the subcontinent, we Democrats DO think you represent America's values. Welcome to the Democratic Party, the party of diversity, inclusion and tolerance.

Fans of "The Wire", I met Marlo Stanfield today, real name Jamie Hector

He attended the 12th Annual African American parade breakfast here in Harlem, was given an award and gave a speech. I got to talk to him for a few minutes. He's a really nice guy.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern head to Egypt, Led by Polonius

http://www.burntorangereport.com/diary/14046/michele-bachmann-steve-king-louie-gohmert-travel-to-egypt-give-crazy-message-to-egyptian-people?utm_content=buffer50392&utm_source=buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer



U.S. Congress members Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Steve King (R-Iowa), and Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) -- arguably the three most ridiculous lawmakers in Congress -- decided to take it upon themselves to travel to the country of Egypt and freelance their own foreign policy message to the Egyptian people, a message that was very much at conflict with the official position of the United States.
I'll let those words sink in for a moment.

Ready? Good. Because there's a whole fifteen minute video of crazy featuring a joint press conference by the three members.

This week, Making Sense with Steve Leser has two special guests. First, former Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs P. J. Crowley. Secretary Crowley joins us to give us his insight on the potential for military action with Syria.

Then Inna Shevchenko joins us again to discuss some controversy that has erupted with the topless protesting feminist group femen.

I'll also discuss various other news of the week and also will have my trademark hall of fame and shame for those politicians and prominent individuals that made great sense, or shameful nonsense respectively.

The show will air this Sunday at 7pm Eastern Time on Blogtalk Radio at the below link and at 2pm Pacific Time on KCAA 1050am radio in Inland Empire California!
