Videos to Keep You Going

I know I haven't been writing much lately, and as much as I want it to get better, I'm about to move out of my apartment and into a house, so the rest of this month will probably be just as spotty as the last one was. I promise to get back on track after the move, and to post as much as I can during this time, but here are a few videos on recent events to keep you going.

I'll start with the funny, before we get to the sad and too-very-real. The latest from Funny or Die, called Republicans, Get in My Vagina! Hilarious. 

 

This video is Rachel Maddow discussing how an extremely qualified doctor in, you guessed it, Mississippi was fired from the Board of Health because of a very remote connection to an abortion clinic. Ridiculous.

Here is more Rachel, this time discussing the problems with the wage gap in this country, after she argued with Republican Alex Castellanos who told her, quite simply, that women don't get paid less than men, or when they do, it's because they choose lower-paying jobs (totally ignoring facts like how we raise our daughters not to pursue fields like math and science, how societal pressure forces many women (instead of their husbands/boyfriends/partners) to drop out of the workforce to raise a child instead, or how overly expensive daycare often makes a parent dropping out of the workforce the cheaper option.) 

And last but not least, a little humor to brighten your day. This video was filmed in Oxford (I think, I'm not sure who made it), in response to Phil Bryant's recent claim that all liberals have one goal: to abort babies. Enjoy!
