The priest at the school was a really cool dude and was always nice to me. By junior year, they let me skip mass and just hang out and read.

Real open minded stuff especially for the 70's.

September 20, 20214 yr Author https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/pennsylvania-republicans-issue-broad-subpoenas-voter-info-probe-last-fall-n1279275 Quote Pennsylvania Senate Republicans on Wednesday authorized a series of broad subpoenas for personal information on voters as part of a burgeoning effort to review the results of the 2020 election.

September 21, 20214 yr Republicans are pro "making things like they were before". I used to love to watch "Mad Men" when it was on. I think most republicans want to go back to that. Where you could smack a waitress or secretary on the ass and tell her to get you a cup of coffee and non white people only existed to tend bar, wait tables, or clean houses and offices. This is why the current state of politics has very little to do with actual policy and everything to do with culture.

September 22, 20214 yr How Pre-Prohibition Drinking Laws Led New Yorkers to Create the World’s Worst Sandwich https://getpocket.com/explore/item/to-evade-pre-prohibition-drinking-laws-new-yorkers-created-the-world-s-worst-sandwich?utm_source=pocket-newtab Republican New Yorkers. Quote Near the end of the 19th century, New Yorkers out for a drink partook in one of the more unusual rituals in the annals of hospitality. When they ordered an ale or whisky, the waiter or bartender would bring it out with a sandwich. Generally speaking, the sandwich was not edible. It was "an old desiccated ruin of dust-laden bread and mummified ham or cheese,” wrote the playwright Eugene O’Neill. Other times it was made of rubber. Bar staff would commonly take the sandwich back seconds after it had arrived, pair it with the next beverage order, and whisk it over to another patron’s table. Some sandwiches were kept in circulation for a week or more. Bar owners insisted on this bizarre charade to avoiding breaking the law—specifically, the excise law of 1896, which restricted how and when drinks could be served in New York State. The so-called Raines Law was a combination of good intentions, unstated prejudices, and unforeseen consequences, among them the comically unsavory Raines sandwich. The new law did not come out of nowhere. Republican reformers, many of them based far upstate in Albany, had been trying for years to curb public drunkenness. They were also frustrated about New York City’s lax enforcement of so-called Sabbath laws, which included a ban on Sunday boozing. New York Republicans spoke for a constituency largely comprised of rural and small-town churchgoers. But the party had also gained a foothold in Democratic New York City, where a 37-year-old firebrand named Theodore Roosevelt had been pushing a law-and-order agenda as president of the city’s newly organized police commission. Roosevelt, a supporter of the Raines Law, predicted that it would "solve whatever remained of the problem of Sunday closing.”
