I became a dedicated daily news junky soon as I learned to read and I've never lacked for diversion until now. There's no there there anymore. Or very little.

Nice.
On the main topic, the barest detail of a news story recently caught my interest. It fell outside the subject matter of the specialist sites I read regularly, so I'd have to try to find it on a general news site. It literally took me several minutes to think of one that had broad enough coverage to possibly include the story, and that I could stomach enough to search for it.

After reading your first link George, I sent it to my son, who graduated from UNC-Asheville a couple of years ago. In it, I wondered if the changes in the UNC system would do permanent, long term damage before the Old Guard (old white people) died out. Your second link offers some hope.

That's great but it still doesn't necessarily mean that those states are turning liberal. Obama won every major city in Texas but lost in every pigshit county like Tarrant, where Fort Worth is located, and thus, lost the state.
Meanwhile, the White Christian old men running the state legislature are going full speed ahead with their insane policies.

You gotta admire a GOP candidate that's so out there the right-wing GOP is afraid of him.

One of NY's 1964 World's Fair carnival attractions was a record-a-greeting booth where try as I might I couldn't persuade my brother, famous for burping and farting the Star Spangled Banner in key, to perform. Afterward, all you could hear were two kids quarrelling. About farts.

The Anarchist Cookbook was NEVER about preventing violence. It was about insurrection, pure and simple, and it's a great read for anyone on either side of the equation. I know I used some of what I read while training Rangers in demolitions.

The original is useless, inaccurate, needlessly dangerous and should go out of print indefinitely, or at least until my first edition sells for a small fortune to some random damn fool before he blows his dick off.

The three books I had back in the day were this one, plus "A Child's Garden of Grass" and "Steal This Book". Yeah, they had lots of inaccuracies, but they were a fun read and... oh, gee... I just felt so damned revolutionary just reading them.

Didja try grinding crocus bulbs for colchicine seed mutations or dry ice ditch weed curing? Here was the most useful reference work of the period.

Well, I suppose that might have been useful to some, but this was a wee bit more useful to me...
