Wednesday Stuff


RIP Linda Brown of Brown v. Board of Education, remembered by Joe Scar and company (in a way, I wish he and Mike Barnicle wouldn’t profane Brown’s memory by mentioning our current sorry political state, but on the other hand, I know they’re absolutely right – more here)…



...and Rachel Maddow tells us about the latest nonsense from Generalissimo Trump and his minions, and that is to play games with the 2020 census, despite the outcry from every official of either party who has had anything whatsoever to do with the census previously; Maddow speaks with former Obama Admin official Vanita Gupta (more here)…



…and of all of the unbelievable non-Trump stories out there, I have to admit that this has to be near the top of the list; kind of puts this in context as far as I’m concerned…


…and I’m sure that, as screwed-up U.S. states are concerned, Hosni Mubarak Walker would inflict the same thing on Wisconsin if he could; typical Repug – when you’re losing the game, pull every dirty trick you can to try and change the rules…



Update: Karoli at C&L is all over this here.

…and maybe this will go down as nothing more than grandstanding by former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, though I still think he needs to be commended for doing good (more here - hard to overstate how wrong-headed the Heller ruling by The Supremes really was)…



…and legendary bluesman W.C. Handy passed away 60 years ago today; here is a great cover of perhaps Handy’s most famous tune.
