Yesterday, the remaining snow got down to under an inch where it remained, but my back yard still looked blanketed. Today is supposed to be the warmest day of the week and sunny, and I really wasn’t expecting it to be gone before today anyway. I can’t keep my fingers crossed because it’s too hard to type that way, but I’m hoping. Also, I apologize to Dr. Keith Knight for including only the last third of his cartoon. But I do feel it stands alone just fine. Finally, I have managed to find a poem by Renee Nicole Good which won a prize. Here’s the link.
The Root newsletter was really hot yesterday. I bumped one until tomorrow. This one is most remarkable for the amount of truth revealed to Pastor Callaghan (who has the kind of courage every decent person should have.) This is far more revealing than their constant, and utterly transparent, lies. It probably won’t get the attention it deserves because no blood was spilled – but everyone in the US should know it.
Robert Reich is not in Minneapolis, but he quotes in full a letter from a former student who is. Don’t write Minneapolis off. There are too many people there who have “miles and miles and miles of heart” (quote from the musical Damn Yankees.)
I might refer to adding insult to injury – but this – from The New Republic – is bigger than that. It’s more like “We might not be able to take your life, but we can definitely ruin it.”
Granted that this is 17 minutes long. But it should be seen by every American over the age of 18 – and maybe younger (And there are more where this came from.)
