Must-Read Headline of the Day
This is the best post I've read about one of the multiple paths the GOP is taking to oblivion/suicide/irrelevance, and believe you me I've read a lot of them. Far too many good quotes to choose from. Just go...

I love this song! I sing it in the shower. Now, Emmylou can do no wrong but I change one word - to "...smokin' OUTTA Texas with the hammer down...". The wiser choice of actions, I think.
Thanks to Bert van der Waal van Dijk.

Quote of the Day
From "This is your brain on racism: Inside the mind of modern bigotry". Good article, quite long.
Karl Marx once quipped that “violence is the midwife of every old society pregnant with a new one.” Just as surely, however, prejudice is the midwife of violence.

"Those who do not learn the lessons of history ... yada, yada ..."
Latinos Encounter a New ‘Grapes of Wrath’ Situation in CaliforniaSeventy-five years ago in The Grapes of Wrath, his classic 1939 Great Depression novel, John Steinbeck depicted a similar confrontation between Californians and down-and-out arrivals to their state. The difference is that in Steinbeck’s book the targets of widespread anger were not immigrants. They were migrants from the Dust Bowl of the South and Southwest who had come to California when drought made their lives as farmers impossible.“What happens when they come here with diseases and can overrun our schools? How much is this costing us?” a Murrieta protester was quoted as asking the town’s mayor this month.In The Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck has an angry Californian use almost identical language to say of the Dust Bowl migrants, “They bring diseases, they’re filthy. We can’t have them in the schools. They’re strangers.”
It's not they didn't learn the lessons of history, it's that they don't know or care about history. It's all me-me-me to the anti-Latino Teatard crowd.
Oh, the irony...
