Ah yes, it's that glorious time of the year when wingnuts "remind" us of Dr. King's dream, namely that smooth-brained white kids have an unqualified right to attend and receive a degree from the uiversity of their choice.
MLK set the bar clearly: In possibly his last sermon, The Drum Major Instinct, he concluded:
I suspect he’d say we shouldn’t care if he was a Democrat or Republican, too. But the test of character ought to be whether we and our communities and our state are feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting those in jail and prison. And in a those and a variety of other ways, we should be serving the least of those among us.
here ends a reading that no doubt will NOT be made as we celebrate MLK Day.
Amen, Brother!
Thanks, John.
Fabulous, John!
Yes, thanks, a great message.
The natives are restless…
Michael,
I cannot discern your address from the image. Please correct.

Arw you promising to send me a winning Piwerball ticket?!?
You may consider obscuring the tracking code as well in the future.
That's the code that the sorting machines read. The machines that DeJoy destroyed to undermine the operations of the USPS. BUT IT IS FINE HE CAN STILL RUN THE PLACE NO WORRIES AT ALL
I’m told the mail from Yuma to Wray (and vice-versa) goes via Denver now. In the old days there was a special slot at the Wray PO for Yuma and Eckley and it went direct. While I’m driving down memory lane we also had home delivery of the Denver Post. That ended and our enterprising pharmacist found a way to get a bundle delivered to the pharmacy and one could pick it up there. Eventually that ended. The older population like my parents still like a paper in hand. It’s really too bad the DP hedge-fund managers have eliminated that option for most of rural Colorado.
Grand Junction had a brand new sorting machine that was literally thrown into a roll off dumpster when DeJoy was appointed. Now they are talking about sending all the mail to Denver to be sorted. It is completely criminal and seems inevitable for some unfathomable reason.
Cruelty IS the point, From Heather Cox-Richardson.
Disgusting and tragic. The wingnuts sure love their slavery era "posse comitatus" states rights- for everything that takes rights (voting and reproduction) away from citizens and non-citizens who should be protected under the 14th Amendment.

That church is near my old stomping grounds in Bethesda-Rockville, MD area. Ironically, located just a few miles from Georgetown Prep, where Gorsuch and Kavanaugh went to high school

Netanyahu is the problem. Israel is his victim. Remember that Netanyahu built up Hamas because it opposes the Palestine Authority. Netanyahu survives politically because of the extremist jewish religious parties and the settler expansionism on the West Bank.
The whole piece is worthwhile, and not very long.
Bibi squeaked by in the popular vote, Manipulated rules to win. Sounds familiar. I don't se how Israel and Palestine survive until his term ends in 2026.

A "Sick headline for our sick times" from Rolling Stone magazine:
And the message regarding so much of the above: You will not see change unless you fight. You might not win. If you fight hard you might see pieces of victory. But if you do not fight injustices at all they will continue and grow until you no longer know what justice is.
Biden's messaging problems…..
So, on my return from Mexico, I had an Uber take me from the airport home. The Uber driver was courageous enough to bring up the subject of politics. He shared with me that while he voted for Biden in 2020 and he does not like Trump, he has serious concerns about Biden's competency given his age and his speaking patterns. I pointed out to the guy that Biden has had a speech impediment throughout his life, has been open about that, and that explains much of why he talks in the manner that he does. The guy did not appear to be fully reassured.
We apologize for the downtime today, had some unexpected server issues while continuing to effect upgrade and fixes.
Everything should be running now, thanks for your patience.
Happy to see you up and operational again.
From a former existence, my experience is that there is a way to have a more informative error message AND an alternate email address pop up when a server is down. Just a thought.
Trudeau FTW
Appreciate the Doonesbury ….
Between the narrow grounds allowed in the E Jean Carroll trial Redoux and getting SLAPPed for a $400,000 judgment for NY Times reporters' legal fees, Trump isn't doing well in courts this week.
And yet, Iowa Republicans came out in horrid weather to show their allegiance. "In the early returns, Trump significantly outperformed his second-place 2016 caucus finish, when he received 24% of the vote, compared with 28% for Cruz. That year, Trump placed third in some of the state’s most populous counties, including Dallas, Johnson, Polk, Scott and Story, all of which were carried by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. This year, he was either leading or running much more competitively in those counties."
Going to be interesting to see the fundraising announcement from Trump. I'm not certain he'll match the $100 million for Biden & Dems, and the drawdown to pay for attorneys and meaningless primary expenses will cut into whatever money he does raise.
