* Re: Putin's op ed. I can't come up with anything cogent to say except that I agree with Chris Hayes' characterization of it as particularly elaborate trolling.

* In Colorado, they are having a five hundred year flood, likely because of climate change.

* Sen. Ted Cruz, Republican presidential hopeful, was out praising extreme racist misogynistic homophobe, Jesse Helms. He says we need a hundred more of them. Apparently, he thinks that the problem with the Republican Party is not that it's extremely racist, ut that it's not nearly racist and generally hateful enough. Ewww.

* Don't know who Jesse Helms is and why Ted Cruz saying we need a hundred more is disgusting? Let Rachel Maddow explain (TW):

100 more Jesse Helms? Good gods that's like a lower circle of hell - anyone who would want that is... I don't actually have words strong enough to say what they are

What's almost funny - in a completely unamusing fashion - is how hard some members of the Republicans are trying to spin themselves into something more palatable to women and minorities since playing the hate card all the time isn't going to keep working (if it even is working now) and they're stood up front, making nice, taking their tokens to all the speaking engagements, scoffing at any claims of prejudice - all the while behind them there's fools like this one saying terrible things and turning the whole "minority outreach" into a bad comedy sketch
