Disney Whirled 0

It’s too complicated for me, but my old NPR station offers an explainer.
(I’m sure my current NPR station does too, but I don’t subscribe to their RSS feed. I listen to their classical station.)

Stray Question 0
Does the Republican Party remember–or care–that one of the words in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag which they claim to revere is “indivisible”?

A Tune for the Times 0
Mangy comments at the Youtuve page:
Having taught pretty much all levels of students, Mangy Fetlocks feels schools should be safe places for students to learn and grow and that a responsible, nurturing society should be willing to do all that they can to ensure that that is the case, even if it means ‘giving up’ something, like the ability to buy and own weapons of war, since in that case, nothing is actually ‘given up’, but rather, simply exchanged for something more valuable that is for the greater good. While Mangy is a lifelong gun owner, he values kids way more than he values any perceived security derived from high-powered weaponry. At the risk of offending a few snowflakes, he wrote this song anyway because this is America, and real patriots speak out if they think it will benefit us collectively.
