Jim Hightower on America speaking out of both sides of its mouth and the Peoples' Postal Agenda
https://www.arcamax.com/politics/fromtheleft/jimhightower/s-3198346
Historybook: President Abraham Lincoln dies (1865); RMS Titanic sinks after hitting an iceberg, killing more than 1,500 (1912); Jackie Robinson breaks color barrier, becomes first Black major league baseball player (1947); Actress Emma Watson born (1990)).
"Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion, you're wasting your life."
- Jackie Robinson

Race trivia
First run in April 1897, the Boston Marathon is one of the oldest continuously run footraces in the US, but it’s not the oldest.
That title belongs to a race first held in Buffalo five months prior, in the fall of 1896.
Which race?

BEWARE J-MAN'S GIRL...
Taylor Swift drops her new album: First announced at the Grammys, The Tortured Poets Department arrives on Friday, sans apostrophe but full of hype. If it’s anything like Beyoncé’s new record, Swift’s 11th studio album could have a major impact beyond music: Cowboy Carter is linked to a rise in Western boot sales and denim.

GONNA KEEP THIS SONG ON REPEAT UNTIL THE WORLD GETS IT RIGHT
COSO Save the World theme, Edwin Starr style
WAR
ON this date in 1966 - Buffalo Springfield performed for the first time as the opening act for The Byrds in San Bernadino, CA.
Little known, Bun Man and Mr. Purple, were in the first line up but were pushed out by Stephen Stills as Stephen was insanely jealous of the Boys sex appeal.
The Boyz...always persecuted, never denied.
ON this date in 1794 - "Courrier Francais" became the first French daily newspaper to be published in the U.S.
Years later and while reading this, impresarios Bun Man and Mr. Purple recommended that a young woman named Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero change her name to Connie Francis to begin her music career.
The Boyz laughed all the way to the bank while Connie sang "Who's Sorry Now"...
Connie paid homage to the Boyz w/ another hit "Where the Boyz Are"...true love waits for me...
Mr. Purple countered "Yes, this is like the American people blaming the poor for their own lack of resources rather than finding a solution where everyone gets an opportunity for the golden ring..."
Bun Man was taken aback by Mr. P's newfound consciousness, but he took solace and said "I believe all I have done is awaken a sleeping giant..."

TORA TORA PROTESTING
ON this date in 2000 - 600 anti-IMF (International Monetary Fund) protesters were arrested in Washington, DC, for demonstrating without a permit.
As Protestors Bun Man and Mr. Purple were being loaded into the Paddy Wagon, Bun Man said "It's infinitely easier to lock us up than those IMFMFers as Big Money rules..."

Clyde: Dude, more purging…Putin seems to have less peeps around him.
KD: They are just reporting battle results.
C: Well, it seems bad news doesn’t bode well in dictatorships.
KD: You know, it doesn’t bode well in democracies either.
C: It’s just crazy how one man can destroy a country’s standing in the world.
KD: Yes, isn’t it.
Ken-Dogger: Hey Georgi, what’s going on?
Georgi: Watching you do your breathing check dude.
KD: Hey, when the Health Professionals talk, I listen.
G: So how’d it go?
KD: Deep breathing checked, all systems a GO…
G: Good, hopefully you’re checking the RIGHT systems.
KD: Georgi, me too, but I think we’re going to find new systems.
G: New systems, new challenges…Sounds like a Dog’s Life…
KD: It’s the Life we’re living.
Morning Lady, hope you're having a Marv-e day...

ORDERING CONFUSION
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: What tha...
Scruffy: Dude, don't ask, the Mrs. got it for me...
KD: Damn Scruffy, what's up with the hood?
S: I thought something was fishy when the Mrs. ordered from the Kinder Kennel Koats (KKKDOGS.COM) website.
KD: Wasn't there a pic?
S: There was, it just didn't capture the whole Imperial Knights vibe.
KD: Scruffy, that's their shtick...They don't appear who they are.
BE SOMEONE'S SUGAR DANDY
ON this date in 1965 - After dating Bun Man for 3 months and enjoying some wild times in the boudoir, Millie Small penned this song and she appeared on ABC-TV's "Shindig!" and performed her song "My Boy Lollipop."
Mr. Purple told Bun, "Yea, and I've seen your heart go giddyup; not sure you're sweet as candy though, and then Bun said, "I'm her sugar dandy!"
