She has another great vid about a confederate general whose grave was desecrated too. Also another about the Edmund Fitzgerald. She just rocks. Highly recommend.

The Bygone Era of Supreme Court Support for Voting Rights Sixty years after upholding the Voting Rights Act, the Court has dismantled most of it.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.

With Kristi Noem out at DHS, I am featuring bank notes with vignettes of good dogs. The first has a dog guarding a safe and the second (in German for the local PA community) has a lumberjack petting his companion. Omaha & Chicago Bank, NE, $2, May 1, 1861 and Lumbermens Bank, Warren, PA, $10, 18--.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

My hip is still killing me, I burnt my finger making a breakfast taco this morning, and I just woke up from one of those naps that bend your perception of reality, but at least Kristi Noem is having a far shittier day than me.
