The WPA
 
I caught a segment on the WPA project on the Smithsonian channel that was pretty cool. It was about the state guide books that they hired out of work writers to put together. I also learned about this idjit bastard father of McCarthyism, Rep. Martin Dies, Jr. D-Texas, also.

Looks like Joe is alive and well on the Senate Armed Services Committee, in the form of Ted Cruz, sadly. What he said about Hegel yesterday was just so disgusting....

Check out that Martin Dies wiki. A real piece of work.
