Closing the Random trio, here is a random sample. As mentioned earlier, "Random" is often not so random. For this example, there were several events that led to the so-called "Random Apple."

Submitted by Leu2500 on Mon, 04/04/2016 - 10:00pmI haven't seen this diaried, and it's kind of important. The Supreme Court stopped a new scheme the Republicans came up with to try to dilute people's vote.
Some background: Republicans in Texas (where else) went to court to have local and congressional districts based not on total population but on voting population.

If Exxon knew, it stands to reason that each succeeding administration knew, from the time of 1982 when these documents were first created.

Submitted by Nightprowlkitty on Mon, 04/04/2016 - 8:11pmSo I listened to the Tim Robbins speech extraordinaire on a MSNBC link I got through Twitter - the speech was mondo to the max, the speech was like the first time me and my friends living in bohemia on the east side of Milwaukee, the first time we listened to Elton John's "Yellow Brick Road," especially "Alice," as the majority gay folk I hung out with thought it was worth a listen due to word of mouth.
Helvítis Fokking Fokk! Iceland reacts to the Panama Papers.
Submitted by Rei on Mon, 04/04/2016 - 8:05pmIf you haven't heard of the Panama Papers, you need to. Leaked from a Panamanian law firm, it's one of the largest leaks of all time, revealing the way some of the world's most controversial leaders hide their assets. Allies of Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko. King Salman of Saudi Arabia. Ayad Allawi of Iraq. Top Chinese officials. The son of the Malaysian prime minister.

And yet I get the sense that our cable and network media will try to paint both Wisconsin and New York as "white and mostly rural" when they are called to task for explaining why Bernie Sanders won both states. Not a word will be mentioned about the large deficits in polling over the last month. No speculation or honest discussion will take place over the momentum of this campaign.
Headaches, Mondays, and Art
Submitted by michelewln on Mon, 04/04/2016 - 3:57pmI was going through some of the posts to see what this site was looking for in the way of diaries. One thing jumped up at me when it was suggested that we share art and photographs. Being both an artist and photographer this really made me happy. I have always loved art. My second grade teacher put a note on my report card telling my parents "take a look at her art!" I have been selling digital art since 1998. It is one of the things that has kept me semi-sane through life's up and downs.
