Historical observances

Today is the 250th anniversary of the first reading of the Declaration of Independence to the general public. To commemorate, there was a "communal reading" across the country at 6:00 p.m. Eastern time this evening.

I won't go into my current political thoughts just now, choosing instead to honor this day by looking ahead.

If you haven't read it, I strongly recommend doing so if for no other reason than to appreciate Jefferson's wonderful command of the language.

It is definitely a wonderful document. Pity the current administration and incarnation of the GOP don't appreciate irony.

Ain't THAT the gospel truth!
