Re: Phyllis Schlafley
A horrible person, but she had significant impact.
I never met her, so I don't know if she was a horrible person.
I disagreed with her, and I got tired of hearing her voice. But she fought for what she believed in.
What she won in the legislature (the defeat of ERA), she has lost in the culture at large. Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate illustrates the point.

Re: Colin Powell called out McCain for not challenging the anti Arab sentiments of suppo
You're often incomprehensible,
I agree with that part. I'm not sure of the rest.
As best I can tell, LamarkNewAge is accusing McCain of anti-Arab racism. This was not how I understood McCain's statement.

LNA isn't deeming McCain's defense of Obama disgraceful and racist?
Yes, he is doing that. But he is missing the context.

Re: Bob Dole, 98
Likewise, I was never a fan. But he was a Republican with principles. These days, that seems pretty rare.

Re: Orrin Hatch . 88
I disagree with Hatch about almost everything. But he was an honorable man. We cannot say that about most of the current Republicans.

Re: Ken Starr, 76
You are too generous to Ken Starr.
Was there some hanky panky related to WhiteWater -- yes, it seems so, but not enough for a federal case. The investigation quickly became "Get Clinton". The fascist tendencies of the GOP were already beginning to show.

Re: Unabomber, Good Riddance
I did not want to honor the unabomber.
For that matter, I did not want to honor Pat Robertson, who also died recently.

Re: Peter Schickele - July 17, 1935–January 16, 2024, 88
I lived in New Haven CT for a few years. When visiting NY, I would usually eat at one of the automats.
I moved to Chicago in 1968, and there was an automat there. But I never ate at the Chicago automat, and I think it closed a year or two after that.
