Tonight is the first night of Rosh Hashanah.

The Southern Roots of Memorial Day

Very interesting article about the real origin of “Memorial Day” at the Institute for Southern Studies…

Shows South Carolina wasn’t always as demented as it is today….

Year in which former slaves in Charleston, S.C. held a funeral procession to honor Union soldiers who died in a local Confederate prison camp: 1865

Number of people who took part in the May 1 procession, called Decoration Day, held after the freedmen dug individual graves for the soldiers (in photo), who had been buried en masse: nearly 10,000

Number of African-American children who marched past the graves, strewing flowers and softly singing “John Brown’s Body” and “The Star-Spangled Banner”: 2,800

Jesus vs The Easter Bunny

I can’t help myself….

I thought this was hilarious and had to share it….

As you can tell from the title, some folks might not like this….

If you think you might be offended, please don’t watch it…

I don’t want to offend, only entertain…

And I found this very entertaining!

There’s a longer version on YouTube if you want to search it out…..

Cheyenne Jackson & Kate Baldwin: That Old Devil Moon

A little Friday night entertainment….

Seems perfect for the Friday after St Patrick’s Day- and an almost full moon…

Hell, any excuse to see Cheyenne Jackson- and Kate Baldwin- performing this one more time…

From the wonderful revival of “Finian’s Rainbow” we were lucky enough to see on Broadway a couple of years ago…
