Too Many Dogs

Submitted by hecate on Mon, 05/30/2016 - 9:01am

Editor's note: This is a repost of hecate's open thread from last Saturday. It is too fine of a piece to not republish on this day of reflection.

Among the German prisoners captured in France there are a certain number of Russians. Some time back two were captured who did not speak Russian or any other language that was known either to their captors or their fellow prisoners. They could, in fact, only converse with one another. A professor of Slavonic languages, brought down from Oxford, could make nothing of what they were saying. Then it happened that a sergeant who had served on the frontiers of India overheard them talking and recognised their language, which he was able to speak a little. It was Tibetan! After some questioning, he managed to get their story out of them.

Amos Beede, 38, was a homeless transgender man residing (if, in fact, a homeless man can be said to reside anywhere) in Vermont. Amos was found on the ground near a homeless encampment, unconscious, on May 23.

Beede suffered head trauma, including facial fractures, multiple blunt force injuries to his face and head and a number of broke ribs, police said. He had been diagnosed with bleeding on the brain known as a subdural hematoma.

What did Bernie just show us all? WE ARE THE CAMPAIGN......

Bernies online campaign tools are an exponential leap beyond anything we've seen. What do we do now? Learn field operations, run for office. Attend a Camp Wellstone campaign training. If you want to wield political power, you need to know how to run a campaign. If you're going to run for office you need to learn how to be a candidate.

What We Should Remember this Memorial Day Weekend

Submitted by Steven D on Sun, 05/29/2016 - 2:24pm

On that Christmas Day Company I, First Platoon, was very hard hit. My good friend Oliver Coghill was on my right and a buddy named Palko was next to him. Both were killed, and I could hear Lieutenant Lawson calling for his mother.
