Tough day for their klan. One of their heroes nearly died.

 

The Max documentary about the Charles Stuart case is definately worth watching.

Damn. Wish I saw this when it started this summer. They did a helluva job here.

With Fatf*ck advocating a speech test for citizenship (er read the Constitution, that’s not the test), got me thinking about how most everyone has been an immigrant here, the thoughts that I used to have that Middle Easterners were potentially a threat (after 1981 Iran hostage crisis) were likely the same ones they had about my ancestors who came here in 1875) and every other group. I urge people to remember history.
