Best Posts of the Week of March 24, 2024

It was quite a week, particularly in local politics where the rift between Conservatives and Populists became more apparent, with the Populists basically calling Governor Gordon a Communist, Marxist, Fascist, Monarchist, Imperialist, Pederast, Physicist, RINO, Dog Hater.

Uff.

One of the most famous events of World War Two, particularly in the UK, occured.

Friday, March 24, 1944. Pvt Theodore J. Miller, The Great Escape and the Ardeatine Massacre.


Holy Week started.


Casper passed a blue law in 1924.  I keep meaning to go back and explore that topic.



We take a look at Populists, who think they are Conservatives, but aren't.





Former President Donald Trump caused us to recall a movie classic.




An excellent op ed was run in WyoFile.


An odd event caused us to post on something we weren't going to.



Sunday, March 29, 1874. Birth of a Great American, Lou Hoover.

The Best Posts of the Week of March 17 2024.

A week in which we pondered stuff existential.

And a week that started off with a post giving an example of flaming BS.

If you wonder what is giving rise to the strong populist/Christian Nationalist/Naotional Conservatism reaction in some quarters . . .


We noted the untimely passing of John Younger, which we feel exhibits the wages of sin. Some professors somewhere, I'm sure, would note this as an example of white heteropatriarchal supremacy, marriage inequality.


An Irish hero wrote the Rocky Mountain News.


An epic flight began:





We belatedly reviewed three films based on a classic anti war novel.







We wrote a hypothetical Wyoming candidate.



We explored the etymology of a class letter opener.


And we looked at gas rationing in World War Two.


A manifesto concluded, for now:




We looked at a National Guardsman who rose to great heights, but probably at his own expense.

The Best Posts of the Week of March 10, 2024.

The best posts of the week of March 10, 2024.  A week featuring a traditional Wyoming Republican set reacting against more recent, and much more far right, arrivals, the anniversary of a famous photograph, and we continue to imagine we can fix things.

Ireland surprised.

2024 Elections In Other Countries.















Notice began to be taken, in certain GOP quarters, of more recent imports into the state.



A famous photograph was taken.


A sort of Agrarian Manifesto. What's wrong with the world (and how to fix it). Part 6. Politics

The best posts of the week of March 3, 2024.

Personally, it was one of my worst weeks and I've had a lot of really bad ones recently.

Here, we set about to try to fix the world this week.

A sort of Agrarian Manifesto. What's wrong with the world (and how to fix it). Part 1. How the barbarians took over the city.


The Supreme Court decided that an insurrectionist could still run for President in spite of the 14th Amendment.

The candidates nobody wanted became cemented as the nominees


 The President delivered the State of the Union, and Sen. Britt delivered a weird retort to it.



Friday, March 8, 1974. Exit Brady Bunch

The iconic 1970s television show The Brady Bunch aired for the last time.  It first aired in 1970.

Marcia, Marcia Marcia. . .
