(RNS) That's essentially what a new report from a left-of-center advocacy group is saying — conservatives changed their message on gay marriage in 2012, and lost four straight fights to stop it.
The Boston-based Political Research Associates examined the content and tone of the anti-gay marriage campaign and found some notable changes from previous years, when gay marriage foes stacked up a string of victories at the ballot box.
(It's worth remembering that while Maine, Washington and Maryland approved gay marriage in 2012, and Minnesota rejected an attempt to ban it, voters in North Carolina passed a constitutional amendment to ban it last May.)
Why does this matter now? Because within a matter of weeks, the Supreme Court will hear two gay marriage cases and both sides are furiously filing their arguments with the court. How they frame the issue — and whether the justices buy it — will go a long way toward determining the outcome of this fight.
From the press release:
Same-sex marriage opponents downplayed "harm to kids" messaging this election cycle. In 2008, one of the Yes on 8 campaign's most controversial — and successful — ads was the "Princes" ad, featuring a young daughter expressing excitement over learning in school that she can marry a "princess" someday, to her mother's shock and dismay. In fall 2012, fewer than half featured "harm to kids" messaging, and often as only a side note to the main theme. In contrast, during California's 2008 campaign and Maine's Question 1 campaign in 2009, nearly every anti-LGBTQ advertisement warned voters that legalizing same-sex marriage would force public schools to discuss LGBTQ relationships and sexual behavior with children.
Instead, a popular theme was the "victims" argument — that same-sex marriage would effectively strip citizens of the right to act according to their religious beliefs. For example, an ad by Protect Marriage Maine featured a couple, Jim and Mary O'Reilly, claiming that they were barred from holding weddings at their inn as a consequence of marriage equality: "A lesbian couple sued us for not supporting their gay wedding because of our Christian beliefs. We had to pay thirty thousand dollars and can no longer host any weddings at our inn." In fact, the wedding "ban" was voluntary on their part, and resulted from existing state nondiscrimination laws.
National Organization for Marriage's (NOM) strategy to use same-sex marriage as a "wedge" issue between the African American and LGBTQ communities failed. As revealed in internal documents, NOM had sought to "find, equip, energize and connect African American spokespeople for marriage… [and] provoke the gay marriage base into responding by denouncing these spokesmen and women as bigots." Yet come Election Day, Maryland exit polls showed African Americans – who comprise 30 percent of that state's population — supported same-sex marriage by 46 percent. Moreover, according to national exit polls, African Americans supported their state legalizing same-sex marriage by 51 percent, compared to 47 percent of whites.
In 2012, pro-LGBTQ advocates largely abandoned the "rights-based" and "avoidance-based" themes, which had deliberately deemphasized LGBTQ couples, in favor of one that is strongly pro-LGBTQ. They stressed how LGBTQ couples and their families are affected due to their inability to marry — on an emotional level. Encouragingly, this more resonant, LGBTQ-inclusive messaging strategy was dominant in all four states facing ballot measures in 2012.
The full report also points out that gay rights activists had a big assist from President Obama when he finished "evolving" on the issue and came out in support of gay marriage. Also helpful: the support of governors.
Political Research Associates describes itself as "a social justice think tank devoted to supporting progressive movements by providing investigative research and expert analysis on the U.S right-wing. We expose movements, institutions, and ideologies that undermine human and civil rights, focusing on issues including reproductive justice, LGBTQ rights, immigrant and racial justice, economic justice, and civil liberties."

text: These days, authors are increasingly expected to do more than just, you know, write books. They're expected to have a presence on social media, to have a public profile, and to connect with fans and potential new readers. Baratunde Thurston is taking that a step further. Actually, he's taking it several steps further. He's a comedian, Director of Digital for The Onion, and he's the author of the forthcoming book, How to Be Black. He's assembled a volunteer 'street team' to help market the book through word-of-mouth and social media, and is modeling the marketing of the book on a political campaign. Is this the future for all authors? And what if you're a low profile person who just wants to write?

I keep posting my old stuff

2-5 min. sketches
Try to observe your studies and put some more detail in there, you're getting the gist with your sketches but they look sort of empty. Look more closely. Some indepth perspective and anatomy knowledge might fill out your work more too. Digitals aren't that bad really. Don't get me wrong here, you've got the stuff it takes but you'll have to fill in the blanks in your visual grammar and vocabulary. Keep it up!
I had a similar thought. You've got a great pile of figure drawing here, and some of it is really lovely. Your most recent gestures have a great life to them. The next step would be to diversify your studies.
Try drawing the thing you hate the most- for me it was cars and locations. I never realized how much perspective would bring to my figure drawing, until I forced myself to do a pile of location studies. It's much easier for me to pose a figure now that my perspective is a bit stronger.
Happy sketching

Hey, wait a minute, the democrats told us things were getting better....
It is so bad that we have to take your pensions and 401ks to pay for the Bush Tax Cuts!
No, no, no, it will all still be Bush´s fault.
In the week before the election, both Bloomberg Business News and CNN had articles on, "Will Romney Inherit the Obama Recovery?" Theme of both stories was that after a slow start, Obama as the economy percolating, and Romney, of elected, will take credit for this.Last para n this depressing article: Obama got re-elected largely by blaming Bush for everything bad that happened during his first term. So who´s he going to blame now?Easy answer: Bush.
Remember the day after the election when everybody on this website was saying that we are all done for?Well, we are.
And don´t forget those "intransigent" House Republicans, #4.
Obama doesn´t need to change a thing. He can still blame the mess that he inherited from the last guy in office.
The only thing I learned from the election is that this country nowhas more dumb people than smart people.
And let´s not forget, gasoline is still a good $2.00 more than when "W" was living in Washington, D.C.
It has been speculated that the way the Obama regime will finish off America is by wiping out small business, as that is the last engine of freedom and without that, America will not arise as a world power again.
Is it finally his economy? I thought all of this was Bush´s fault. Zippy is the most inept person to hold office ever. The dumbing down of America by the teachers union has worked. People are to stupid to know what they are doing to this once great country. I don´t know if we can ever recover from what this moron has done or will do. God Save America.
Where we are in he era of Obama:For good reason the minority believe that the POTUS is actively out to destroy this country. He is either excellent at accomplishing this or he´s completely incompetent at running the country. Either way the result is the same.The majority of voters don´t care about this as long as they can feel cool, and/or their benefits don´t run out and when the money does dry up they´ll blame someone other than the real culprits.Yup, we´ve over the hill. I´m glad out ancestors aren´t here to see this.
We have always known that O. was out to destroy the country. It is still puzzling that the cowardly press is "all in" for the destruction. They do not care how much the people suffer, how high the Misery Index is, all they care about is the image of the rock star faux potus.Our country has been destroyed by the unholy alliance of the regime and the press.
I was thinking along the same lines, #13. Can you imagine walking barefoot through the snow, carrying a musket against the King´s redcoats, for people like those who voted for Obama?
The recession is accelerating.
This is easy----I´ll just blame the last administration!!!!Oh, I forgot, that was mine!!!Art
I thought these folks hated corporations.If they kill off small business,what will be left?
They´ve moved on from Bush to Romney & Bain... All companies are just like them & need to be destroyed! They just compared Hostess to Bain.
Does any intelligent person really think that those who vote for Obama either understand or care about the nation´s economy? A large number of them buy vehicles with the understanding that they will probably end up being repossessed. You can´t reason with those kind of people.Vote democrat--it´s easier than getting a job.
It´s amazing how blame Bush actually worked. Boy do we have stupid people living here.
The Obama voter is the one who typically thinks that a successful person is one who is just lucky or has "had all the breaks." The Obama voter is the one who probably cut class to smoke weed while the nerdy guy studied, and of course, he made the nerdy guy´s life hell. The quiet, hard-working people who have their priorities straight are in the minority now. But the Obama voter would take everything away from them in the interests of "fairness."
Not to worry #2: we´ll get a government guaranty in return.Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.Will the fooled electorate awaken to see what the dims´ policies result in? What the dims´ true core expertise is?Or shall we be shackled to a dependent majority that thinks that all of life´s bumps can and should be removed and thus are the victims of politicians who promise to remove them for a "small price." Is there at least hope the the dependent class will at least see that the bumps were not removed?
The Democrats blamed Herbert Hoover for the depression for 20 years that I know of. It always worked. I remember when my step father was urged to vote Republican. He had great trepidation. He screwed up his courage and bravely announced: "Well, I guess I can starve for four years."
Unfortunately, the un-intelligent 50% of the electorate, who are being hurt the most by this, will not connect the cause to Obama. The dems know this, too, so it will continue unabated.
In answer to the article´s closing question, I easily see obama using those meanie owners at Hostess as the first scapegoats.
Since the inept, inexperienced, incompetent, anti-American, socialistic, muslim-leaning, ex-lawyer dufus won re-election, I have lost $2,900 from my 401k retirement account.
You´ll be losing a lot more than that by the time 4 more years of hell passes us by.

What is Bluetooth?
- Bluetooth is a form of wireless communication and can be used to pass information to Bluetooth-enabled devices such as mobile phones

A Little History:
- Before we delve into the different kinds of Bluetooth, it may help to know a little bit about Bluetooth itself. In Bluetooth technology, two devices communicate with each other over low-frequency radio waves in the 2.4GHz range. No cables or wires are needed, and the only requirement is that both devices be Bluetooth compatible. Unlike infrared ports, the connected devices don't need to be in direct line of sight, but they do need to be relatively close to each other. And like a wireless Infrared transfer, Bluetooth doesn't cost anything beyond the initial investment in the devices.
- In addition to connecting a cell phone to a headset, Bluetooth is used to connect PCs to keyboards and mice, handhelds to other handhelds, and cell phones to computers. Many cars are even equipped with Bluetooth so that you can use the car's audio system for hands-free cell phone functions

Nostalgic parents are giving the gift of Christmas past
When Sharmeen Douglass went Christmas shopping this week, she wasnt looking for any hot new toys for her four children. She was going for a retro Christmas: Barbies, Nerf products, Hot Wheels sets, Slinkys, Silly Putty, hula hoops, My Little Pony, an Easy Bake Oven and Spirograph-style design kits.

Charles Dickens was a brilliant writer. He was particularly great with his opening paragraphs. While his writing is incredibly sympathetic to the human condition he was a miserable sob who didn't particularly like people

I have never understood why Ebeneezer has resentment for Fred just because his beloved sister died in childbirth with him. I woud think that would have made him embrace the boy all the more.
yes, usually people are fond of folks that kill their family members
When the Author walks onto the stage, the play is over.
ebeneezer didn't like anyone because of the way his father neglected him and treated him harshly. blaming is nephew for his sister's death was just an excuse to disconnect from Fred.
"i hope you have fun"
The nephew is a family member. He is Scrooge's nephew, the only daughter of his beloved sister.
My favorite scene is when the tow cart salesmen run into each other on the street, spilling their product. They curse at each other and are about to throw down Allstarhiphop style until the ghost of christmas present sprinkles some dust on them and the apologize and embrace like drunks on a bender.
While that is true early in his life, the father suddenly changed his ways, as Fran details when she goes to pick him up from boarding school. I wonder if visits from ghosts ran in the family or it was some kind of schizophrenia which caused the rapid mood swings of two generations of Scrooges

This large volume of over 600 pages was for many years the standard reference work, in the English-speaking world at least, on the city of Rome, its hills, its streets, its walls and monuments.
Since 1929, research has progressed immensely, hundreds of scholars having opened new excavations in Rome, or analyzed old ones, as well as inscriptions, coins and literary evidence. For scholarly purposes the work is therefore dated; and to some extent superseded by A New Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome by L. Richardson, jr, published in 1992, and especially by E. M. Steinby's Lexicon Topographicum Urbis Romae, 5 vols. (1993‑ ); as well as by the results of recent and current archaeology, among which in particular the major excavations of Trajan's Forum and the surrounding area.
But in view of the paucity of solid material (and the relatively large amount of nonsense) on the Web, caviling with Platner & Ashby is just that: the work remains extremely useful; and since the Topographical Dictionary is now in the public domain, and the others are not, I am therefore slowly putting the entire work online.
I've tried to link the references to Latin texts or other sites on the Web, as appropriate; and have sometimes illustrated the text with my own photographs. In the best medieval manner, I occasionally comment the text in a footnote, or when I manage to express myself succinctly, as Javascript annotations that you can read by placing your cursor over the ºlittle bullets of various colors, or sometimes over the images.
The full text is already online, mind you, at the University of Chicago Library:a yet as grateful as we should be for it, that Web edition has one major flaw. It is not searchable text, but rather a series of scanned images, page by page. That, and the opportunity to link to the work's sources or other material, is why I felt it useful to put the work online myself: the LacusCurtius pages of Platner are fully searchable.
For citation purposes, the pagination of the original is indicated in the sourcecode as local links.
I've also taken the opportunity to fold into the body of the text any addenda and corrigenda from pp601 ff. They are indicated in slightly different type.
My own photographs, and technically my notes, are not in the public domain, of course. If you have copyright questions,
just ask.
a In January 2001, the Perseus Project also put the entire work online here as a searchable text, thus beating me to it by several years. This can only be to everyone's benefit of course, since their approach and mine differ — especially our linking schemes — and since servers, theirs or mine, do go down from time to time: another useful bookmark then. (I do like to think though that my version is better proofread, especially the Greek.)

Three years ago, I decided to switch to cloth grocery bags. I didn't know anyone else who used cloth bags and I suspected that the bagboy at my grocery store would throw a fit and refuse to bag my groceries, but I knew it was the right thing to do. And that I could easily bag my own groceries.
I dived right in, collecting a huge stash of bags for my bi-weekly trips to the grocery store, and besides a few rolled eyes from the cashiers, it's been a seamless transition.
Except for one thing...remembering to take my bags.
After a few months, I got pretty good at bringing my bags to the grocery store - after emptying out the groceries, I'd stick the bags back in the car, so they'd always be there for my next trip.
The problem was those quick in-and-out kind of shopping trips - like a quick run to the drugstore or a quick pitstop at the arts and craft store or a quick pop-in to the hardware store. I'd run into the store, grab what I needed, and swing out the door with plastic bag in hand before I'd realize, "Woops! I forgot my bag!" So I got a small wallet size bag to keep in my purse. Problem solved.
But then there was my husband, who is one of those really really smart, really really spacey kind of guys who definitely doesn't have room in his brain to remember to bring his own bag. I bought him a wallet size bag to keep in his backpack. Didn't help. I nagged a lot. Didn't help. Finally I gave it time...He seems to be coming around.
And then one morning after changing my two-year-old out of his nasty, stinky, disposable nighttime diaper and into a soft cotton Chinese pre-fold daytime diaper with lime green wrap, I went searching for a plastic bag to dispose of the smelly, um, disposable...and discovered that the plastic bag dispenser was empty.
It was a total Mother Hubbard experience, except with plastic bags instead of food.
My initial thought was to blame my husband. "Whad'you do with all the bags?" I called.
"I didn't touch them!" He shouted back.
Hmmm...I turned to the kids. "Did you guys take the plastic bags?"
Blank looks. "What bags?"
"The plastic bags. The grocery bags. The one's that go in here," I said, pointing to the dispenser.
The two little ones shook their heads, but the big guy nodded. "You used them all in my Halloween costume," he reminded me.
Oh yeah, he was a cowboy, and we used the bags to stuff the head of our homemade hobby horse. I shrugged, figuring it would only take a few weeks to restock our bag stash and that I could be creative in the meantime.
That was November, and now we've gone almost three months without plastic bags. I dispose of diapers in those little rain baggies the newspaper comes in. Sometimes I use a carrot bag or an apple bag. I stopped lining our bathroom bins completely and instead periodically empty them into the big trashcan. Occasionally, my husband still brings home a plastic bag, but now he's progressed far enough to notice his mistake and apologize for it.
Which makes me smile.
Life is possible without plastic bags. In fact, I barely notice the difference...
A few weeks after we ran out of plastic bags, I reached for a paper towel and discovered that the paper towel dispenser was empty. My initial thought: "Hmmm...I wonder how long we can go without paper towels?"
As a final thought, I wanted to thank all of you for your amazing response to my questions last week. There are so many helpful comments there, and if you haven't read them, you should pop on over and check them out. I, for one, need to go back through and take notes on the snack and lunch ideas.

Fiat and Mazda have signed a final agreement to jointly produce convertible two-seater Alfa Romeo and Mazda sports cars.
The Italian and Japanese carmakers said Friday that the roadsters will go into production at Mazda's plant in Hiroshima, Japan, in 2015.
The cars will be based on the same platform - the next generation of the iconic Mazda MX-5 - but will have different styling and engines. The carmakers signed a memorandum of understanding in May.
Fiat is planning to launch nine new Alfa Romeo's by 2016 as part of its strategy to focus on higher-margin luxury cars and launch Alfa into a global brand. Most will be produced in Italy to help return European operations to profitability and revive production at underutilized plants.

By Brendan O'Brien
MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Wisconsin's Republican Governor Scott Walker and his challenger Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett drew sharp ideological differences on Friday during the first of two debates before a special election to recall the governor on June 5.
Walker faces a special election after he angered Democrats and labor unions by pushing through the state legislature a law that strips public sector labor unions of much of their power. Walker would become the third governor in United States history to be recalled if he loses.
During the one-hour debate in Milwaukee, Walker touted his efforts to balance the state's budget by curbing the power of public sector labor unions, while Barrett painted the first-term governor as untrustworthy.
"This election is not a rematch or do-over because we can't do over the decisions of Scott Walker to start a political civil war," Barrett said.
The two candidates are familiar foes, with Walker defeating Barrett by five points in the 2010 gubernatorial race. A recent poll conducted by St. Norbert College and Wisconsin Public Radio showed Barrett trailing Walker by a similar margin, 50-45 percent.
The polls continue to show an extremely small number of undecided voters. As a result, both candidates need to motivate their supporters to turn out to vote.
"What Barrett did tonight for himself is he came out very assertive," said Tim Dale, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
"Walker also did what he needed to do ... appear strong and almost non-responsive to Barrett," he added.
Walker's changes to organized labor last year forced state and local government workers like teachers to pay a portion of the cost of health insurance and pensions, capped wage increases and required unions to be recertified every year. Walker said the reforms were needed to close a budget gap, while Democrats and unions said they were an effort at "union busting."
Walker said during the debate that the state now has a $154 million surplus and has experienced more than $1 billion in savings due to his reforms.
"We balanced (the) budget without raising taxes, without massive layoffs and cuts in programs," Walker said. "The good news is that our reforms are working and that is why our opponents don't talk about them anymore."
The candidates also debated over Walker's record in creating jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that Wisconsin had lost more jobs than any other state between March of 2011 and March of 2012. But earlier this month, Walker aides released the state's Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages data, which suggests an increase of 23,321 jobs in the state between December 2010 to December 2011.
"Those numbers have never been verified and he knows they have never been verified," Barrett said. "It's clear what's going on, he can't defend his record on jobs."
Barrett also criticized Walker over an investigation into corruption during the governor's time as Milwaukee County Executive. The probe has resulted in criminal charges against five former aides and close political associates.
Walker blasted Barrett's record as Milwaukee mayor for the last eight years. The city has become one of the poorest in the nation with an unemployment rate of 28 percent, Walker said.
"We don't want Wisconsin to become Milwaukee," Walker said.
The two candidates will square off again for another debate Thursday.

Customer comments about Metro 140" Sofa with Right-Arm Angled Chaise:
I have owned the angled Metro for 10 years. It looks like new because we hardly ever use it. The cushions have never been comfortable and the angle was a HUGE mistake. I would have much preferred a chaise as the angled piece is really awkward if trying to lay down on it or prop up (like using a chaise). I really wish I loved this piece and have battled back and forth with my husband for years to replace it. I am a fan of R & B and have purchased quite a bit of furniture from them in the past 14 years. We are building a new house and will have to buy quite a bit of new furniture to include several new sectionals. I will be steering clear of the Metro and can't wait to stick mine in the basement.

Customer comments about Metro 140" Sofa with Right-Arm Angled Chaise:
I had this couch for two years. After the first six months, the cushions lose shape and the feathers start to poke through the cusions, and they eventually start collecting on the floor. I think R&B is well aware of this and keeps deleting negative comments about this product.

Customer comments about Metro 140" Sofa with Left-Arm Angled Chaise:
We purchased the Metro sectional 7 years ago and it looks the same as the day we brought it home. We have not experienced any issues with the cushions losing form. My husband used the chaise part of the sofa for years to watch his TV and it has not changed shape at all.
We have the Desmond charcoal fabric. The micro suede is perfect for families and very comfortable. The kids eat popcorn on it and there aren't any grease stains. I spilled red wine on it and water was all it took to clean it. We could not be happier with this sectional.
We are now looking at replacing the upstairs furniture with another R&B sofa. Modern is not our style, but we make if fit because of the quality, durability and customer service.

Customer comments about Metro 140" Sofa with Left-Arm Angled Chaise:
I was looking for a conversation couch for a couple of years. With the way my living room is shaped, I had to have a unique piece. I found this a year ago - This was it! It fits perfectly and the comfort and style has been excellent. It is used everyday and I couldn't be happier. My living room is comfort and joy everyday! It also goes great with the Shay chairs!

This year marks the 75th anniversary of Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan's infamous flight to Ireland.
Corrigan (31) took off in New York allegedly heading for California on July 17th 1938 in a beat up old plane.
He claimed he took a wrong turn and went east and instead of west by accident.
It has long been claimed that Corrigan flew the Atlantic on purpose, because he had been denied permission to do so at a time when the Charles Lindbergh flight aboard the Spirit of St.Louis, of 1927, was still considered a modern miracle.
Corrigan's plane, which he had flown in from California the previous day, was so battered it was about to be grounded. After it landed, an inspection revealed over 60 violations including leaky fuel pipes.
Somehow, after a 28-hour flight at a little over 100 miles per hour, he landed in Baldonnel Aerodrome in Ireland, having been given up for lost.
At take off at 5:15 the previous morning he had 320 US gallons of gasoline and 16 US gallons of oil, Corrigan headed east from the 4,200-foot runway of Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn and kept going.
Corrigan claimed to have noticed his "error" after flying for about 26 hours. He landed at Baldonnel Aerodrome, County Dublin, on July 18, after a 28-hour, 13-minute flight. His provisions had been just two chocolate bars, two boxes of fig bars, and 25 US gallons of water.
Corrigan's plane had fuel tanks mounted on the front, allowing him to see only out of the sides. He had no radio and his compass was 20 years old. As the journalist H. R. Knickerbocker reported after inspecting the plane:
"As I looked over it at the Dublin airdrome I really marveled that anyone should have been rash enough even to go in the air with it, much less try to fly the Atlantic. He built it, or rebuilt it, practically as a boy would build a scooter out of a soapbox and a pair of old roller skates. It looked it. The nose of the engine hood was a mass of patches soldered by Corrigan himself into a crazy-quilt design. The door behind which Corrigan crouched for twenty-eight hours was fastened together with a piece of baling wire. The reserve gasoline tanks put together by Corrigan, left him so little room that he had to sit hunched forward with his knees cramped, and not enough window space to see the ground when landing."
Corrigan was of Irish descent, delighted to have reached the old sod. He returned home to a hero's welcome including a ticker tape parade in New York and Chicago.
Having helped Lindbergh build his Spirit of St. Louis, he was deeply disappointed that his hero never acknowledged his feat. Hollywood did, however, with a movie the following year entitled "The Flying Irishman".
There is still controversy over Corrigan's intentions that fateful day. The manager of Floyd Bennett Field, Kenneth P. Behr, said Corrigan asked him which runway to use, and Behr told him to use any runway as long as he did not fly east.
His namesake, the Irish band the Corrigan Brothers, have released their own tribute to the intrepid airman.
Here's their track:
Well at least it was not reported of Corrigan that he 'Flew Back to Front', as was famously reported about General MacArthur going to Korea in the Fifties ...
@Searlit- Does it matter? You look hungry. Won't be long now luv and for Gods sake pull your tongue in. :)
@antoman, will that be mashed, fried or baked?
Nicopernicus and Proud Canadian2, et al., FYI. I understand from a TV program that after WWII, Charles Lindbergh went to Germany in the early 1950s I think it was, and fathered several "superior-, or master-race type children. The whole story came out in the 1990s, I believe, when the now middle-aged children surfaced.
@Searlit- Po-ta-toes! ;)
Always enjoy hearing this tale ! That's like Columbus when he landed in the Caribbean and thought he was in Japan. PS He wasn't in America either !
A fun story and in contact with reality, Irish Central. Now - can you sustain that sort of quality instead of the usual depressing anti-Brit late 20th century rubbish we usually have to read?
Handsome68 you hit the nail right on the head and I take it even further Lindbergh became a spy some think a double edged one. He and the justice system railroaded a poor man right to the electric chair also. Great man the Lindbergh if I was Mr Corrigan I would have been happy not to see him there.
Now that's what I call wanting to get there, bad! You know us Irish-Americans though. Maybe we're the ones that are really more Irish than the Irish themselves. ;-)
Six years before Corrigan landed in Dublin, Amelia Earhart became the first female to do a solo flight across the Atlantic when she left New Foundlans on 20 May, 1932 and landed in Co. Derry 15 hours later.
Handsome68 In fairness to Lindberg he was not a Nazi as he much as publicly professed he did not Like Jews. He admired the German machinery system that was pumping out cutting edge aircraft., There was a lot of Jew hating going around back then on all sides., Henry Ford topped the list...It did not make one a Nazi.
The article states that "Having helped Lindbergh build his Spirit of St. Louis, he was deeply disappointed that his hero never acknowledged his feat"." It is too bad that Mr. Corrigan thought Lindbergh, a Nazi through and through, "his hero". Lindbergh was likely too full of himself to acknowledge any help from a fellow airman.

Honors Continue To Accumulate For W&J Football Players
(Photo courtesy Eric Kelley, D3photography.com)
WASHINGTON, Pa. - Washington & Jefferson senior wide receiver/kick returner Alex Baroffio (Bethel Park, Pa./Bethel Park) and sophomore defensive tackle Jon Turner (Freeport, Pa./Freeport) both received weekly football awards on Tuesday.
Turner earned a national honor after being selected to the D3football.com Team of the Week, presented by Scoutware. He was one of two defensive tackles honored, joining Coe College senior Mitch Montgomery.
A day after earning the Presidents' Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week award, Baroffio earned the same honor for the ECAC Division III Southwest Region. Baroffio racked up 257 all-purpose yards at Wooster on Saturday to help W&J post a 58-21 season-opening victory.
Baroffio's 257 all-purpose yards were the eighth-highest total during Division III's opening week. Five of his returns (three punts and two kickoffs) directly helped lead W&J scoring drives.
Baroffio is 17th in NCAA Division III in punt return average (17.3 ypr) and 22nd in kickoff returns (30.7 ypr). His 561 career punt return yards ranks third among active NCAA Division III players. Only three active players nationally have returned more punts (52) than Baroffio during their careers.
Turner made the most of his first career start by totaling nine tackles, including eight solo stops, and two sacks. Both of the sacks came on third-down plays to end Wooster drives. His first sack came on the final play of the second quarter, while his final one occurred late in the second quarter.
