Happy anniversary
Comrade Gagarin!Too bad about the Russkies winning the space race...
But, there you have it: a noted expert says so.
Also on this date, in 1945: the death of FDR.
Now there's someone else who prompted a race.
Although that race has been quite one-sided: organized by an ideology out to bury the New Deal's accomplishments, under the pretense of being something else.
The race started long ago; picked up speed here; and now rushes toward a bi-partisan finish line.
At this 150-year mark: the South is still winning.
An outstanding podcast, by Driftglass and Blue Gal, connects many dots: GOP race-baiting technique as the source of current current attacks on public employees; anti-miscegenation law as the model of the "alliance between bad Christianity and bad law" [Driftglass] that the Right applies to gay marriage, or any other "wedge"; St. Ronnie's use of racist code to signal his base; and more.
Another April 12, another Equal Pay Day.
The same as last year's, with women still making $.77 to men's $1.00.
