  1. The headline of the day, so far https://www.local3news.com/cops-wife-stabbed-husband-with-ceramic-squirrel/article_0d1f96bf-2870-56fd-bacf-60d2db5cdd72.html?fbclid=IwAR2ryH_0N5YaMqAGHLKOfOCdzC6eIlmcBN3zZZGs-HK_S6NK3eJywYFkxSk
  2. I think a lot of these places didn't have decent educational programs until relatively recently. You can visit places like Arlington and a lot of the battlefields and get a better understanding of the battles and politics than say 20 years ago. I've become fascinated with the intersections of many members of the "first families". If you look at Arlington for example the line runs thru the Custis family, probably one of the richest landowner in the Commonwealth, to George Washington (actually his wife who was married to a Custis) to the Lee's.
  3. The Union took over the house and property during the war. Lee never returned. his wife only visited it once. Lee's son George Washington Custis Lee, sued to get the property back and won on appeal to the Supreme Court who found that the property had been "illegally confiscated" He then settled with the government for about $4.5 million in today's money.
  4. I just heard a report that viable candidates need a minimum of 100 nomination votes from party leaders.
  5. But Prop 3 is just so confusing. At least thats what the yard signs (that are mostly littering places other than yards) keep telling me in Commerce and Wixom.
  6. Another guy who slept during Word History class, or did they stop teaching it after 1970?

  8. Change the names and faces...... A little perspective
  9. Liz, we hardly knew you.
  10. She don't know much about history, or just about anything else so it seems..
  11. Another day another Trump crime. Another day the party that used to champion personal responsibility stays silent...
  12. Like cockroaches you can't completely get rid of them
  13. Not that it matters in the long run but who are the idiots giving Costal Carolina 5 votes after they got their asses handed to them by Old Dominion?
  14. My favorite thing of the hearings so far...
  15. I am partial to Ron Carnegie. He portrays Gen Washington at Colonial Williamsburg
  16. Interesting thread. Lawmakers considered moving the EC vote … And my favorite part
  17. Manipulating stock prices??
  18. Putting this here so investing doesn't get more political than it currently is. Your food prices are going up again as groceries monopolize in many locations
  19. It's a fleet plate, likely a rental...
  20. Just a reminder from Gen Washington....
  21. Finally, a good use for the euphonium
