UPDATE: It seems that Noah Cartageno took down his post at the GOS while I was composing this response. Mea culpa. I wish I had copied the entire diary. It was very nasty toward anyone and everyone in the Sanders' campaign other than Aisha Dew. But all that is left of it are the couple of fair use excerpts I've shown here.

This evening's music features Chicago blues singer and guitarist Fenton Robinson. Enjoy!
Fenton Robinson - Somebody Loan Me A Dime
Fayetteville, Arkansas republican alderman John LaTour approached an employee of a Cary Arsaga restaurant Saturday demanding that she choose a gender, claiming that he could not tell if she were a man or a woman.
He then explained that he was a man and could prove it by dropping his pants and showing his penis. That is bullying behavior and unacceptable on so many levels. Please call any news outlets you know and alert them to his “protests.” I doubt offering to expose yourself would be considered protected speech even by the right wing activist Dugger family who funded his campaign. He should be kicked out of office.
--Gavin Smith, civil engineer
Indeed, LaTour has made no secret of his hatred of LGBT people and has called himself the candidate of "Conservative Values." He even earned a $2000 campaign donation from Michelle and JimBob Duggar.
While running for office, La Tour promised to overturn Fayetteville’s anti-discrimination ordinance, prohibiting landlords and business owners from evicting or firing someone because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic background, marital status or veteran status.
I am going to take my cue from themis.
I too, am a refugee from the Great Orange Sellout.
I have read quite a few comments and essays here and have found them to be respectful, thoughtful and there's a sense of humor I appreciate.
I live in the Virgin Islands and while we can't vote for President, we do have delegates to the convention.
This Sunday (March 27th) for many people is the celebration of Easter and rebirth or resurrection. For me it is the second time in my lifetime that my birthday falls on Easter. I'll be 68. It hardly seems possible that I made it that long. I remember a conversation with my Dad a long time ago when I told him I wanted to go into politics and help people. He told me not to since I wear my heart of my sleeve and I could do more from behind the scenes.
I vaguely recall the manners my dear Gran taught me, so I believe it is proper to introduce oneself before plopping one's arse on the couch and petting the cats in someone else's home. Is that beer for me?
What a great line and one that we have forgotten about over time. In light of the terrible terrorist’s attack today, we need to embrace this line and think about how “FEAR” is being used against us every day. To me when you let fear overwhelm you and limit your actions then “FEAR” has won. Life should not be feared and you need to embrace and live well every day.
There are all sorts of reasons why the stock rally since early February doesn't make sense.

From The Boston Herald Archives: Report from 1904 on the Early Life of Mother Jones
The correspondent who travelled recently to West Virginia with Mother Jones, and whose report of that trip was featured in Tuesday's edition of Hellraisers, has reminded us of a similar report which was published in the Boston Herald's "Sunday Herald" of September 11, 1904. Hellraisers published part one of that article yesterday, continues with part two today and will republish part three in tomorrow's edition.
