Protests/Rallies
Supposedly 100s of protests planned for Saturday
People across the country are planning “No Kings Day of Defiance” protest in response to Donald Trump acting, well, like Donald Trump.

Saturday shorts
I was going to lead off with a Happy Easter Saturday – till I read that Easter Saturday is used colloquially for both the Saturday before Easter and the Saturday 6 days after Easter. May you all have a joyful (and thoughtful) weekend. Saw the update on Dakota Meyer – here’s a few others. Thomas […]
Lowest bid, and slimeballs
NASA..they have accomplished so much, and so little. Their first decade went gangbusters, but by now, private companies are leaving them behind.

Wednesday shorts
For fans of socialized English medicine, this may be an eye-opener: Rod Stewart, singer of “Maggie Mae” and “Tonight’s the Night” (fond memories of a red-headed lady sergeant belting that one out at the NCO club at DLI!) has been trying to do something worthwhile for folks needing pricey scans at UK hospitals.

Trump military/MOH news
A group of four-stars sent an op-ed letter to the New York Times Friday excoriating Trump for ‘dereliction of duty’ on January 6.
