Once again, I had the privilege of guest co-hosting The Young Turks live streaming show on Thursday, alongside fellow guest co-hosts, John Iadorola, host of TYT University and The Common Room on The TYT Network, and Lissette Padilla of 'On the Street' interviews from The Lip.TV.

From last week's Senate filibuster FAIL to some important new green news (U.N. mercury treaty, new BPA finding) to women in combat to the latest bizarre naked-masterbating-pooping-vaccuum-cleaner-assaulting-drug-addicted home intruder crime story out of Florida, among other things. We covered quite a few hot topics. A few of the short video clips on those stories and others from Thursday's show are now posted below. Enjoy!...

(P.S. I'll be back in to guest host this coming Thursday as well! You can watch that full stream LIVE as it happens, from 10pm-11pm ET, on YouTube here.)

Offered today as a brief respite, of sorts, from the all-too-real events of the last several days...

I had great fun as a panelist, once again, on The Young Turks' show, The Point early last week. My fellow panelists included the hilarious and whip-smart comedian Lee Camp, broadcaster Mark Thompson, and TYT co-host Ana Kasparian, with an assist from video contributors Thom Hartmann and Naomi Klein.

We taped the discussion on 12/12/12, prior to the horrific events in Newtown, CT. Obviously, the topics we covered weren't nearly as serious (unless you consider the coming apocalypse to be serious). We discuss the Mayan Apocalypse Myth, over-population, 'disaster progressivism', and the myriad ways the world could end, both real and imagined ... and of course, the famous Doomsday Preppers of history. From Lee's 'obesity exchange program' to 'redneck paradise', we also dissect whether it's "politicizing tragedy" or "learning from experience" by responding, politically, to tragic events like Hurricane Sandy and the Aurora movie theater shooting (about :30 mins in).

Please 'like' it and share it among your peeps and tweeps! And please feel free to share your thoughts and how you'll be celebrating 'Apocalypse Day' on Dec. 21st in comments below...
