Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

QQQ

"My first daughter is married to a NYFD firefighter, my second daughter is married to a NYPD officer, and my third daughter teaches in a Catholic school. It's like a New York triple crown."

A caller on NYC's Religion on the Line radio show today.

Love those kind of New Yorkers. Quintessential urban America--but why oh why do they elect senators so carelessly?

A good question.

Gotta go weed and mulch my jalapenos and cayennes.

jalapenos? well then I will bring the patron and we can belatedly celebrate cinco de mayo in honor of the illegals.

Speaking of indigestion and totally OT...

At http://americanfuture.net/ scroll down to "A view of Islam in 1946"... quote:

"33 years before the Iranian Revolution and 55 years before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a section (pages 24-34) of the very first of the intelligence reviews published by the Military Intelligence Division of the U.S. War Department identified Islam as a threat to world stability."

What else did we know, and when did we know it?

The Byzantines & others in the neighborhood were the first to learn it, around 700 AD.
