RMN v JFK

September 1960 and I was 7. We had just moved from Detroit (Pleasant Ridge) to Chicago (Highland Park). Just started 2nd grade. It’s all my parents and grandparents could talk about. The candidates. And the media flashlight. Everything had changed. Mom voted for Nixon. Dad for Kennedy. It was like a coin toss. On TV Nixon was smart but weirder than anyone had thought. Much classier than Nixon, and he knew it, Kennedy (he thought Nixon was a graceless nerd he could beat) was smarter than anyone had thought, and then there were the women and girls. Women and girls of all manner— from Tufts to trailer parks—went nuts over JFK. All of them. H/T Mr. O’Hara.

Good morning. Jack London and I want to thank BLM, American Antifa, the major TV networks, NYT, WaPo and the modern Dem party for driving more people to rabid conservative politics and culture than Goldwater, the Reagan revolution and Wild Bill Buckley combined. Nice work, y’all.

Kudos Prof. Ronald Takaki

Here’s a gem on American immigration since 1607 written by UC Berkeley prof and progressive Ronald Takaki. Not a hateful anti-racism book by an affirmative action nut job or MAGA propaganda by some low-info right wing dink. Won an American Book Award. First released 1993 and sporadically updated. Even Howard Zinn liked it. Kudos Prof. Takaki. Just finished it. Buy and read this book. 530 pages. Non-activist scholarship.
