My first political activity was stuffing envelopes for McGovern. It happened to be in the Watergate building just a few weeks after the plumbers were arrested. When 11-year-old me and my 13-year-old sister were entering the building, a big security guard looked down at us and said, in a mock scary voice, "Y'all don't put any bugs in there!"

By the US gov't's logic, in putting Mandela on the terrorist list, wouldn't the colonialists of 1775, in using violence against the state, also be terrorists? So we are a nation founded by terrorists. Got it.

Avatar 10:02am kat330:

@Holly: Hear, here! It sometimes boggles my mind when I think where we were -- or at least where we SEEMED to be -- in the late '60s, early '70s, and how I imagined humanity would evolve from that point forward. Definite backslipping. But, ya know, I'm an agnostic (bordering on atheism), but the current Pontiff is impressing my mightily. I have a post on Tumblr hoping for "Trickle Down Morality" discussing Francis' recent speeches.

@Doug: David Dinkins on WNYC now, talking about Mandela coming to NYC and declaring himself a Yankee at the stadium. That must've hurt a bit.

Just looked out to our backyard garden to see our sage and thyme encased in thin layer of ice. This year we're hoping our rosemary survives by giving them a "greenhouse" of vinyl covering.

@Artie great idea we are five hours ahead over here.

This Dinah track is heavily suggestive of Elaine Stritch singing "Here's to the Ladies Who Lunch" in Company.

@Jeff Golick
You can Google and find photos of Mandela in a Yankee cap and jacket. At least there's this: Steinbrenner picked up the tab for Mandela's evening at Yankee Stadium. I'm convinced his wearing the pinstripe paraphernalia is what moved The Boss to do so.

Avatar 11:15am glenn:

I came home from work, sat down in my favourite chair, turned on the TV, and said to my girlfriend, "Quick! Bring me a beer before it starts!"

She looked a little puzzled, but brought me a beer.

When I finished it, I said, "Quick! Bring me another beer! It's gonna start!"

This time she looked a little angry, but brought me a beer.

When it was gone, I said, "Quickly! Another beer! It's gonna start any second!"

"That's it!" She blew her top. "You bastard! You waltz in here, flop your fat ass down, don't even say hello to me and then expect me to run around like your slave! Don't you realise that I cook and clean and wash and iron all day long?"

I sighed. "Oh sh!t. It's started...."

Is that a joke or a psych/soc test?
Avatar 11:18am kat330:

Good one! Wish I could remember jokes. Must be some sort of brain wiring that I can remember strings upon strings of phone numbers, and yet can never remember a joke.

@Carmichael: Aw, you poor thing. ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:21am Doug Schulkind:

From a piece in today's NY Times about Mandela's visit to New York:

"The Yankee Stadium appearance took Mr. Mandela to the home of what was then one of the worst teams in baseball. The Yankees were in last place in the American League East after losing almost twice as many games as they had won. But they were on a road trip that week.

“Somebody had Yankee Stadium for several days and gave us one of the days, equipment and all,” Mr. Dinkins recalled. “I’m told when I put the Yankee cap and jacket around his shoulder and he said, ‘I am a Yankee,’ Steinbrenner was so pleased he called the next day and said, ‘There’ll be no charge.’”

By the way, the artist who had booked Yankee Stadium for several days and relinquished one for the Mandela? It was Billy Joel.

The MP3s I am playing are all over the map in terms of audio fidelity. Some are extremely quite and other extremely hot. I'm doing my best to ride the volume knob. Apologies for the unevenness.

Yes. I have been here most of the time. I listen at work, and fortunatly I do IT work, so most communication is by using an instant message application and email, so I can listen in on my headphones, while getting all kinds of things done. This has been a rather busy morning, so I was able to listen, but not post.

Ok, two (belated) things:
(1) If Billy Joel had already booked the gig, why would there be an additional change for the Boss to waive?
(2) Do I have to like Billy Joel now? (Unless he gave up the stadium and the bill to the city?)
