Something-something “but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.” I clocked Dobbs as a horrid bigot back in the early 90s when he was still with CNN. I can muster zero sorrow he’s gone. ---

I’m not sure that drinking alcohol while standing on a persons grave works that way either. Nor does dropping a bottle cap on the grave stone and then pissing a full bladder stream over their grave. ( Well, don’t get caught anyways, right people…? ) ---

> As the court martial came to an end, Defense Secretary Melvin Laird privately urged Nixon not to extend any pardon to Calley. Military leaders, Laird explained, believed that making him a scapegoat or hero would poison the view of American policy and the public view of soldiers. Nixon rejected the argument, telling advisors that demanding accountability for the massacre reflected the “obsolete idea that war is a game with rules.” The day after the verdict, Nixon ordered Calley released from the post stockade and placed under house arrest in the Fort Benning bachelor officer quarters. Appeals would eventually reduce his punishment to time served. > **[Nixon’s Leniency After My Lai Hurt Veterans.

Calley can now have an interesting conversation in the afterlife with General Yamashita. One who committed atrocities and was scapegoated then released by those who ordered them, and another who was hanged for atrocities he neither ordered nor knew about; but was held responsible for nonetheless. ---

A group of opponents, led by Ms. Bryant, turned up to protest. “The ordinance condones immorality and discriminates against my children’s rights to grow up in a healthy, decent community,” she said. > > She founded Save Our Children, an anti-gay organization that gave rise [to the modern-day religious right’s strategy](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/16/us/politics/transgender-conservative-campaign.html) of tying homosexuality to perceived threats against children. Her public image (many called her a “Christian celebrity”) was changed forever. … > “I was a sacrificial lamb,” Ms. Bryant said in a syndicated newspaper article in 1988. “I didn’t even know it. And I couldn’t get out of it once I’d begun.” Please. It would have been easy to redeem yourself, and in a Christian way. ---

I mentioned it in another thread - Bryant died December 16, 2024 but the family held off announcing it to the public until today, January 9, 2025. I am guessing they were scared of protests at the funeral. Or some type of celebration of her passing. Very odd either way.
