Blogging around
While I should have been reading WMD dossiers, or mocking our government by means of jpeg and gif, I was blogging around. I found a blog that is celebrating the death of the Rosenberg's fifty years ago.
Okay, so I exaggerate sometimes. It was remarking on the fact that Soviet records made available in the 90's reveal that the Rosenbergs were in fact guilty. This "gotcha" is used in a Limbaugh-like stroke of logic to bolster the Dubya's mass deceptions.
I have another reason to celebrate June 19. Besides being Juneteenth, a Texas tradition to be proud of, it's another anniversary. I posted the following on the Rosenberg's-are-still-guilty thread.
Another anniversary ... The bus boycott of Baton Rouge LA was 50 years ago. It served as a proving ground for a method of protest that was later made famous in Montgomery AL.
McCarthy, Nixon and Hoover, the three foremost red-baiters, are remembered as twisted individuals, who may have made some positive contributions, but whose morals were fundamentally corrupted by their own inherent evil. The ancient Greeks used to call that "tragedy".
I salute the unsung patriots of Baton Rouge, who did more in one week to improve America than that trio of treachery did in three deeply flawed lifetimes.
