Another month done gone.
The bravest group on campus was tabling in the UMass Campus Center today promoting their speech tomorrow night by conservative scholar Dinesh D'Souza.
The speech is free and open to the general public. For further details, click poster below to enlarge.
This fence has gone up around Northampton's First Church while they are repairing the roof.
The paper said the roof consists of old Vermont slate that will be very expensive to replace. That's the thing about preserving old buildings, it is very costly to restore yesterday's buildings at today's prices!
I like the flaming paint job on the this car parked in Hamp today. If the car looks wet it's because it was snowing quite fiercely earlier.
We've had enough snow this year.

Are the UMASS Republicans really suggesting that Martin Luther King Jr. would be a Republican today? He may well have been a registered Republican back in the 50's and 60's but for a long time in our nation's history, blacks predominantly voted Republican because it was the Republican founder Abraham Lincoln who emancipated them from slavery. But today a black Republican sadly is seen as an enigma. It just seems a stretch for a very conservative organization, which the UMASS Republicans are, to use MLKJR's likeness on their materials. If it were a moderately controlled organization, maybe, but not the right wing zealots who make up the UMASS group.
Tom,
Anonymous would be surprised by what I heard on the way to work Saturday morning. I occasionally get bored with music and search around for talk radio, on the weekends, which as anyone knows is a vast wasteland for the most part. I tuned into some black preacer giving his sermon. He was a dynamic speaker and the church goers were shouting out the usual encouragement, like "You tell it" and Uh huh! Amen and so forth. The sermon was pretty much anti gay marriage and personal responsibility and family values and so on. Some might call it pretty right wing. I'm no expert but I've known alot of black people and they are basically conservative. I know they tend to vote for democrats but most don't share their idealogy.
