POLITICS SCHMALITICS

Seth Myers was talking about the Trump Passport. Why would anyone want one? Trump has pissed off the whole planet. You show that to the border agent and you immediately get pulled into the cavity search area.

I was sitting here in Dulles Airport looking up at the state flags…Michigan has a very complex one with a lot of heraldry embedded. 
 

Why would anyone be motivated to change it?  As i see some GOP reps were trying to do.  Is it the Union Blue?

[oblong]

does it have any kind of references to native americans?  that would be my guess.

The MI GOP in some locations is especially weird... like LDS kind of weird.  Remember, we got the Amway family.  that's a cult.

This is the same GOP that lost their **** when Minnesota got a rid of the seal on a bed sheet flag and replaced it with something better.

Nah, the dude is in there is a white guy with a long gun. Maybe they want it to be an AR?

I like the complexity of the thing.

Once again I ask. What is it about "Christian" Conservatives and the 10 Commandments which were handed down to Moses. Jesus gave us the Beatitudes in his Sermon on the Mount. Why is there never a push for these in schools or courthouses???

 

That would be a good class lesson.  These are the ten commandments.  Let's discuss how many your president has broken.

In Indiana, Trump challengers in GOP in state house primary appear to be winning 5 of 6. Hopefully that will mean losses in the general.

[Motown Bombers]

On pace for a 20 point over performance. I’m going to taunt John James with these results tomorrow.

Omar Thomas is one of the more prominent black composers of concert band music. One of my favorites for his Come Sunday. This story is absolutely bonkers.

Quote

Watertown High School band students have spent months preparing for their May 18 spring concert. But a piece of music will likely be struck from their set list over its history.  

The Watertown Wind Symphony will learn on May 12 during a special school board meeting if they will be allowed to perform “A Mother of A Revolution.” 

The piece was composed in 2019 by Omar Thomas for contemporary wind ensembles and does not have lyrics. But Thomas dedicated the work to transgender activist Marsha Johnson, a key figure in the 1969 Stonewall uprising against police raids in New York. 

These are high school band students. It's a challenging piece

Just looked it up.  This isn't the first flag we've had, this was was adopted in 1911.  Wiki is showing there have been three serious attempts to change the flag and the leading reason is they feel its overly complex and needs to be modernized.  Bieda (D), Schroeder (R), and currently Skaggs (D) are the ones that have tried to set up bills to explore a new flag.
