sorry to be repetitive: Joyce Carol Oates says a graphic novel of the "Odyssey" “would” be a good idea. It is! There is a great one with gorgeous watercolors by Gareth Hinds. "The Odyssey: a graphic novel" -- at GarethHinds.com www.garethhinds.com/odyssey.php

Paxton Crawford in July 2000 right after pitching a 7-inning no-hitter for the PawSox rolled or fell out of his hotel bed and landed on a drinking glass left on the floor that shattered, and he required eight stitches in his back/shoulder area, which delayed his call-up to Boston until September

Boston Red Sox pitcher Dustin Hermanson injured his elbow in July 2002 after slipping on a wet floor while washing dishes in his bare feet, causing a cut that swelled up and landed him on the disabled list.

Speaking the truth can get you fired in the military. Calling the President a narcissist is like saying he is tall. It's just true.

Freedom of speech no longer matters under tRump, only gun rights do. A senior Navy official is out after an undercover video where he called the president a narcissist and the Iran war ego-driven. Dissent gets you fired. Guns get protected at all costs. www.newsweek.com/navy-says-br...

ICE are the criminals, breaking the law again and again and defying court orders.

Kyle Cheney

CAN'T MAKE IT UP: ICE deported a man to Mexico in violation of a court order in Nov., acknowledged the error and returned him to the U.S. Then they deported him to El Salvador, in violation of court-ordered torture protection. He's currently imprisoned. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

All of you excited about Nolan's Odyssey, don't forget that the best description of the Fall of Troy is in Latin in Vergil's Aeneid 2, which students or even people working on their on can read in Randall Ganiban's excellent classroom commentary from Hackett: hackettpublishing.com/aeneid-book-2

Aeneid: Book 2"His introductory commentary on book II of the Aeneid, designed for students starting from an intermediate knowledge of Latin, offers the essential tools for a full understanding, correct translation, and appropriate interpretation of Vergil’s text."     —Beatrice Larosa, Università della Calabria, in Bryn Mawr Classical Reviewhackettpublishing.com

Reminder: The KKK would describe their killing of "negroes" as self-defense. The KKK would take uppity Blacks out in the woods for "instruction," and those who resisted would unfortunately cause their own deaths. From a 1914 book:

ICE does not vet people it hires. We know this because they hired the violent mentality disturbed man who killed Mr Guererro, and because when an anti-ICE journalist tried to join up, they did not check her references of even google her.
