Halleluja . . .muck and more

It's Thor's day . . . questions echo from the mailbox:

What Do We Owe the Victims of Racial Terrorism?

How underestimated has Fanni been?

The demagogues have taken over the GOP? Who knew?

And, since we're knee-deep in the muck and more, remember Dr. Oz? Of course you do.

One last piece of political gore: Today in 1901 U.S. President William McKinley died eight days after being shot in Buffalo, New York.

After flushing out the mailbox, there were several other noteworthy dates:

Today is the 144th anniversary of Margaret Sanger's birth. The American social reformer and a founder of the birth-control movement in the U.S.and internationally was born in 1879 Corning, New York.

Ivan Pavlov was born on this date. The Russian physiologist known chiefly for his development of the concept of the conditioned reflex, was born in 1849 Ryazan, Russia.

And today in 1741, George Frideric Handel completed his composition: the Messiah.
