According to records and 911 audio obtained by HuffPost, on the night of Aug. 30, Jerry Falwell Jr. was intoxicated and apparently injured; his wife, Becki Falwell, described “a lot of blood right now.”
Hm. (Examines semi-colon carefully.) Too much Blood of the Lamb?

I don’t know if I ever told you, but for a while I was using A People’s History in my classes, and there was a right winger who was a part timer over at Emory who decided that meant I was indoctrinating my students, so she actually filed a FOIA (the state version) for my syllabus… Nothing came of it (because it’s a perfectly acceptable textbook), but it was upsetting at the time.
Also, my late aunt took her history class with Zinn way back in the day.
Anyway, I’m sure the AHA will put out a strongly worded letter soon, so I’ll post a link to that if they do.

"Trump offered Julian Assange a PARDON deal in return for 2016 DNC emails source disclosure, lawyer says"
An observation of two very different headline spins. The first from The Daily Beast and the second from Russia’s RT.

Buying votes in the heartland…
“USDA also said that up to $100 million in aid for tobacco farmers will come from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.” Subsidized cancer? WTF
