Tammy Baldwin
 
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...h_Congress.jpg

Tammy Baldwin was the first openly lesbian member of the Wisconsin Assembly and one of a very few openly gay politicians in the country at the time. In 1993, Baldwin said she was disappointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton's compromise on LGBT rights in supporting the military's don't ask, don't tell policy. In early 1994, she proposed legalizing same-sex marriage in Wisconsin. In 1995, she proposed domestic partnerships in Wisconsin.

Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix!

Jimi Hendrix, arguably the world’s greatest ever guitar hero, would've been 74 years old today. When he died, he was just twenty-seven-years-old, but in just a few years he expanded the range and vocabulary of the electric guitar to reach areas that no musician had ever ventured to before. We unearth some of Jimi’s tales from beyond the grave.

Jimi's favorite guitar

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/...49_634x796.jpg


Born in Seattle, USA, on November 27th 1942, his mother named him John Allen Hendrix and raised him while his father, James “Al” Hendrix, was fighting in World War II. When his father returned from Europe in 1945 he took Jimi home, divorced his wife, and renamed him James Marshall. He didn’t become Jimi Hendrix until he arrived in London in 1966. The Animals’ bassist Chas Chandler, who became his manager, suggested he swap James for Jimi.

He dropped out of High School and enlisted in the Army in May 1959, becoming a member of ‘The Screaming Eagles’ 101st Airborne Division in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, as a trainee paratrooper. Fortunately for music fans everywhere, less than a year later he received a medical discharge after breaking an ankle on his twenty-sixth parachute jump.

His father encouraged his musical talents, buying Jimi his first $5 acoustic guitar when he was fifteen-years-old and setting him on the path to his future vocation. A year later Al purchased his first electric guitar, a Supro Ozark 1560S.

Jimi worked as a session guitarist under the moniker Jimmy James. By the end of 1965 he had played with several acts, including Ike And Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, The Isley Brothers, and Little Richard. His shows with Little Richard became caught up in a dispute over Jimi’s flashy garb - Richard felt nothing should distract attention away from his star power and so Jimi parted ways to form Jimmy James And The Blue Flames, shedding the role of back-line guitarist for the spotlight of lead guitar.

Homeless Woman


I was approached yesterday by a woman who said she was sleeping in her car...

due to being a victim of domestic abuse (boyfriend in jail, shunned by family).

I don't usually carry cash, so she went on to someone else.

I felt bad and called to her asking if she would like for me to buy her something to eat at the fast food restaurant across the parking lot. On the walk over, we shared a little bit of our lives with each other. She was very appreciative. And honestly, it felt really, really good to be able to do something like that for another human being, especially given all the hate that I have witnessed during the election season.

Giving a gift to others is also giving a gift to ourselves. Sure you may be scammed, but if they are that desperate, why not give them the benefit of the doubt? We are all in this together. We are all connected.

I have seen more homeless each year in Chicago. The desperate are getting more and more desperate. The 1% better build higher and higher walls because the days of pitchforks are a-comin'. We need to address the mentally ill, stop cutting resources and assist these people. Throwing them in a privatized prison system or out on the street is asking for a multitude of problems.

Under this administration, these issues will multiply.

Good on you, Ace. I'd rather be scammed for a couple bucks than to risk not giving someone a helping hand when they need it.

Dorothy Height on US Postage Stamp
 
http://www.theroot.com/wp-content/up...tamp.jpg?w=295

Dorothy Height (Black Heritage series)

The 40th stamp in the Black Heritage series honors Dorothy Height (1912-2010), the tireless activist who dedicated her life to fighting for racial and gender equality. Although she rarely gained the recognition granted her male contemporaries, she became one of the most influential civil rights leaders of the 20th century. The stamp features artist Thomas Blackshear II’s gouache and acrylics on board portrait of Height. The painting is based on a 2009 photograph shot by Lateef Mangum. Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamp.

Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp with an existing photograph by Mark Benjamin, official photographer of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf in Rochester.

Homeschool mom crushed by moral dilemma after son sees male CoverGirl wearing makeup

https://lintvwtnh.files.wordpress.co...tter.jpg?w=400

When 17-year-old James Charles was named the first male ambassador for CoverGirl this month, the company’s message was simple: “All of our CoverGirls are role models and boundary-breakers, fearlessly expressing themselves, standing up for what they believe and redefining what it means to be beautiful,” the makeup brand said in a press release. “James Charles is no exception.”

But one mother did take exception to the brand’s inclusive message, penning an article for the Homeschool Conservative lamenting the impact a male CoverGirl had on her 6-year-old son.

“Mommy, why doesn’t daddy wear makeup,” 6-year-old Mark reportedly asked his mom Sarah.

“Both of us were caught off guard, we didn’t know how to answer,” Sarah wrote. “I don’t know why, but the most logical thing we could think of at that moment was to say, ‘No, that’s a girl.’”

When it became apparent that Charles is in fact a male, she told her kid, “Daddy doesn’t wear makeup because makeup is for girls.”

“Well why is that boy wearing makeup?” her son pressed Sarah wrote about the “moral dilemma” generated by her child’s inquisitive nature:

“Do I lie to my son? Or do I tell my 6-year-old my full opinion? I thought about lying and saying, ‘That’s how his eyes really look.’ Or, do I tell the truth and have a deeper discussion with him? Maybe, ‘That’s the way his mommy and daddy chose to raise him. But, that’s not the way we are choosing to raise you.’

Does a parent end it there? Or continue to say, ‘That is sinful and wrong. He shouldn’t be doing that, and his parents are wrong.’”

Emergency request from the Anerican Eagle Foundation
 
As most of you already know, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Tennessee are being threatened by large forest fires. We've already heard several reports of much of historic gatlinburg already burning down.

Last around 8 PM, with the fire only miles away and a mandatory people evacuation in place, the AEF staff began conducting an emergency bird evacuation, something we have never had to do before.

Our AEF first responders wasted no time rushing from their homes to our headquarters and loading somewhere around 50-60 birds into travel kennels and into every available vehicle.

It wasn't graceful, but we did our best to retrieve every bird and then load about 40-50 pounds of raptor food along with. These birds are now resting safely in individual kennels at several AEF staff member homes 10+ miles away from the fires.

Al Cecere went to Dollywood to check on our Eagle Mountain Sanctuary Eagles...unfortunately, in the dark, with ashy hazy air, steep leafy hillsides, and other staff being turned away by police while they trying to bring extra travel kennels onto the Dollywood park, we were unable to catch up and rescue these eagles tonight.

As of now they are safe and hanging out in their aviaries, albeit the air quality is not optimal. Eagle Mountain Sanctuary houses one of the largest collections of non-releasable Bald Eagles in the world.

Several firetrucks and first responders are protecting Dollywood and we hope to receive reports in the morning from Dollywood security as to whether it's safe to come evacuate them.

Should a second evacuation take place this morning, the AEF may not have enough travel kennels/carriers to help rescue all Eagle Mountain Sanctuary Eagles (even after Petsmart donated all the kennels off of their shelves to the AEF last night).

If anyone in Sevierville/Kodak/Knoxville has Large to XL plastic dog kennels/carriers and would like to donate or loan them to the AEF please text 865-654-4223 or 865-256-0372 asap. We would be willing to set a drop-off point in Sevierville, where as of now, is safe from harm. We need these as soon as possible, just in case a second evacuation is necessary this am.

Notice: The eagles are being removed from Eagle Mountain Sanctuary this morning (Tuesday, Nov. 29) to protect them from the fires raging in the area. All of our birds are safe.

National Disgrace

Posted by Jon Waterhouse of National Geographic Fellows Program in Indigenous Voices on November 30, 2016

So. We come to the close of Native American Heritage Month.

The Native Americans of this country are fighting as “Water Protectors” against something we should all be fighting against: polluted water (get the background on Standing Rock). This fight goes beyond Standing Rock to places like Flint, Michigan and possibly to your own home town. In this month set aside to honor Native Americans, we have witnessed these proud People arrested and held in chain-link cages like you would use for animals. As they have gathered peacefully and exercised their constitutional rights, they have been shot with projectiles, percussion grenades, and sonic weapons. They have been tear-gassed, pepper-sprayed, beaten, and assaulted with water cannons in subzero temperatures—by a fully militarized multi-state police force.

This treatment of Native Americans is a national disgrace.

http://news.infoshop.org/sites/defau...?itok=jehnbHd2

What is their crime you ask? The same crime it’s always been. They were here first.

And exactly how is the Ace Hardware staff supposed to determine who they can't sell propane to? Are they required to ask their customers, "Are you, or are you not, opposed to the DAPL?", before they sell propane? All customers who oppose the pipeline aren't allowed to buy propane? Or are they simply supposed to deny propane to anyone who looks like a Native American?

Bill Cunningham Calls Joy Behar ‘Ugly Broad’ Who ‘Needs A Muzzle’


William Daniel "Bill" Cunningham is an American radio and television talk show host, conservative commentator, attorney, and entrepreneur.

https://antennavillain.files.wordpre...916-093423.jpg

Well, that was rude.

Conservative radio host Bill Cunningham launched a seemingly unprovoked personal attack on Joy Behar of “The View” Thursday, calling her an “ugly broad” who “needs a muzzle,” Media Matters noted.

Cunningham, appearing on the radio show of Fox News’ Sean Hannity, apparently didn’t appreciate Behar’s thoughts on Donald Trump’s deal to keep Carrier in Indiana and avoid a company move to Mexico.“The problem is we’re losing jobs to robots, not to Mexicans,” Behar had said during Wednesday’s coffee klatch on ABC. “That’s the problem. We are losing to technology.” She added later that saving jobs was not the same as creating jobs.

http://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_i...joy.061109.jpg

When Hannity mentioned to Cunningham that “1,100 jobs were saved” in the Carrier deal, the guest let loose.

“That doesn’t make any difference to that Behar ... that ugly broad on ‘The View.’ Who in the hell is that?”

“She needs a muzzle. Someone should muzzle her.”

Cunningham also got in a dig at another “View” host. “Let’s send Carrier air conditioning to the armpits of Whoopi Goldberg. Let’s get her calmed down a little bit.”

What you see is what you focus on.

Joy has had some pretty nasty and rude comments about everything she doesnt like. This is no different. Plus she is a little short of facts.

The Carrier plant was not about automation. It was workers in Indiana training Mexican nationals in Indiana to do their jobs when the plant was moved to Mexico.

So. Joy gets called on her bull and suddenly the guy who calls her on it is a host of phobes and a raging dick? Really? Cuz he didnt use politically preferred language? Or, just because he is a man? That is some seriously bizarre logic.

1.100 blue collar work workers are really thankful for the guy, who hasnt even taken office yet, to step in to save their jobs.

But, Joy has to diss that too cuz, in her mind, it is creating jobs not saving jobs that matters. Really? Actually, it is saving and creating jobs that matter. And we have to take with a grain of salt the jobs reports claiming hundreds of jobs being created without mention of the hundreds of thousands of jobs being lost.

Joy is trying to make an issue out of her own inaccurate information and her own inability to use logic. She should be apologizing for flapping her mouth off without knowing or caring about the truth or giving a crap about the very happy 1,100 blue collar workers who are keeping their jobs.

The philosophy of "my mind is made up, dont confuse me with the facts" is getting old.

Gemme 12-03-2016 09:17 PM

Just because someone disagrees with another, that doesn't give them the right to call them names or suggest confinement in one form or another.

Regardless of the situation leading up to it, if I heard a man call someone an 'ugly broad' and that she should be 'muzzled', I would label it misogyny and sexist. I would also check and see if Trump was in the room.

BTW, that's a nice photo. I bet his mother is so proud of him.

Leatherback turtle has no idea how awesome he/she is.


The giant creature, estimated to measure between 5 and 6.5 feet long, befriended some boaters in New Zealand on Tuesday.

This giant leatherback joined some boaters off Mangawhai, New Zealand on Tuesday ― and as the clip posted on Facebook by Pippa Partington shows, the big guy was very chill about the whole encounter.

*A similarly large turtle, to show perspective.

https://static2.stuff.co.nz/1236038659/122/1993122.jpg

Partington told New Zealand’s 1 News Now that the turtle in this case appeared to be between 5 and and 6.5 feet long. It was so big, she first thought it was a capsized dinghy.

Leatherback sea turtles are listed as “vulnerable” on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

First Dinosaur Tail Found Preserved in Amber



The tail of a 99-million-year-old dinosaur, including bones, soft tissue, and even feathers, has been found preserved in amber, according to a report published today in the journal Current Biology.

http://cdn20.patchcdn.com/users/2287...26588-9931.jpg

While individual dinosaur-era feathers have been found in amber, and evidence for feathered dinosaurs is captured in fossil impressions, this is the first time that scientists are able to clearly associate well-preserved feathers with a dinosaur, and in turn gain a better understanding of the evolution and structure of dinosaur feathers.

Denver Police SEIZING Blankets From Homeless As Evidence Of Violation Of Camping Ban.


Temperatures in Denver have been 20 degrees to 0 degrees overnight. Shelters are over capacity. No new shelters are planned.

It is against the law in Denver to lay down on public space. You can be arrested and ticketed for violating a "camping ban" since the days of the Occupy Movement. Denver was one of the most aggressive cities in the country to dismantle the Occupy Movement. Back then even if you honked in support when driving by the encampment you were stopped and ticketed.

Local news in Denver on Friday showed Denver police taking all the blankets of homeless people who were on the street. The city has taken an aggressive stance and is seizing all the belongings of homeless people. They claim they are trying to force them to go to shelters. It is doubtful there is enough space in the shelters that are available.

Some shelters are run by religious organizations where you must pray for your supper. There are virtually no programs to help the homeless changer their fate.

So where are homeless people supposed to go. Home prices in Colorado are exploding beyond affordability for anyone even at $15 an hour. Rents are at a record high and vacancy rates are at record lows.

Former ‘Brady Bunch’ Star Under Fire After Report Of Homophobic Rant

Susan Olsen, aka “Cindy Brady,” may have even lost her talk show gig.


Susan Olsen, the former child star who played Cindy Brady on “The Brady Bunch,” is under fire after allegedly unleashing a slur-filled rant against one of her critics.

On Wednesday, activist and producer Leon Acord-Whiting slammed Olsen after appearing as a guest on Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics, a show that Olsen co-hosted with Sheena Metal on LA Talk Radio. He accused Olsen of spreading “outrageous misinformation,” including the idea that a person can’t be a liberal and a patriot at the same time.

Leon Acord-Whiting

It is wildly irresponsible for LA Talk Radio to allow a Trump fanatic to co-host one of their programs, where she can spew her idiotic lies unchecked. (Being a liberal and a patriot are mutually exclusive? Hillary is causing the protests & hate crimes? The Koran is a political tract?) As much as I love Sheena Metal, I think LA Talk Radio needs to give "Cindy Brady" her walking papers. I will not listen to or appear on any shows there from this point forward until she's gone. This isn't just disagreeing on, say, tax plans or foreign policy. Susan Olsen spreads outrageous misinformation & it is dangerous and unprofessional.

Olsen responded with her own Facebook post, calling Acord-Whiting a “little piece of human waste.”

This is the little piece of human waste. He blocked himself from me before I could even get one hit in. If you can find him, please send him my love.

Acord-Whiting said Olsen took things one step further in a private message. He posted a screenshot that appears to show Olsen going off on a tirade and repeatedly calling him a “faggot”:

Olsen’s comments may come as a surprise to those who remember when she spoke out in support of marriage equality three years ago. In 2013, she posted a moving tribute to Robert Reed, the reportedly closeted gay actor who played father Mike Brady on “The Brady Bunch.” She suggested that Reed could “never make peace with himself” because of the way society treated queer men.

(w)What happened to the sweet little Cindy Brady?

Woman tracks down stranger who hugged her in saddest moment of her life

http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/7ea4...se-bh-1715.JPG



All she knew is that the woman looked to be in her 30s and had short black hair streaked with purple.

And that this mystery woman was incredibly tender and compassionate with Mott when she was at her grief-stricken worst in the middle of a store aisle on the morning of Black Friday. You know the scene: Typical behavior on the High Holy American shopping day after Thanksgiving is to stampede directly to some cheap plastic thing and trample everything and everybody in the way.

But Mott was graced by a more serene fellow shopper at 6:25 a.m. in the middle of Mills Fleet Farm in Ankeny, just as she received a devastating phone call.

Mott wasn’t there on a shopping spree; she only needed a pair of dog beds for her German shepherds, especially her decrepit 12-year-old pooch, Killer, whose bones ache on her hardwood floors.

That’s when the call came in from the nursing home on the south side of Des Moines where her mom lived.

“Angel, honey,” said the nurse on the phone, “your mom passed away.”

“Hoping you nice people can help me find a lady. I was out shopping on Black Friday at six in the morning at Mills Fleet Farm in Ankeny. In the middle of shopping I got a phone call that my mom had passed away. I sat down on the shelf in the aisle and must've bawled for several minutes. Some nice lady with black hair (I think) and purple highlights, sat down with me and hugged me for about five minutes. She cried with me. I would just like to thank her very much. Not one person stopped to see if I was OK. But her and her sister did and I appreciate that more than they'll ever know! My mom was my best friend. I felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. She was only 57. I'm only 31, I still need my momma!”

*Never underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word or a hug for someone in need. We never know just how impactful these things can be. Random acts of kindness, senseless acts of beauty.

Rebus puzzles are so much fun, some are easy, others may require a second look.

My bride-to-be and I were perusing women's hairstyles online last evening so she would have some ideas on how to wear her hair on our big day. The creative braids for women with long hair captured my interest. Quite amazing.

She decided on this. Top left.
