  Cinco de Mayo is on, but they have already cancelled Oktoberfest in Germany for this year.  No fear, we'll be celebrating it here.

Post by: Travellin Dave on May 05, 2021, 10:22:00 AM
Today is Wednesday, May 5, the 125th day of 2021.
There are 240 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On May 5, 1925, schoolteacher John T. Scopes was charged in Tennessee with violating a state law that prohibited teaching the theory of evolution. (Scopes was found guilty, but his conviction was later set aside.)

On this date:

In 1494, during his second voyage to the Western Hemisphere, Christopher Columbus landed in Jamaica.

In 1818, political philosopher Karl Marx, co-author of “The Communist Manifesto” and author of “Das Kapital,” was born in Prussia.

In 1891, New York’s Carnegie Hall (then named “Music Hall”) had its official opening night, featuring Russian composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky as a guest conductor.

In 1942, wartime sugar rationing began in the United States.

ADVERTISEMENT

In 1945, in the only fatal attack of its kind during World War II, a Japanese balloon bomb exploded on Gearhart Mountain in Oregon, killing the pregnant wife of a minister and five children. Denmark and the Netherlands were liberated as a German surrender went into effect.

In 1961, astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. became America’s first space traveler as he made a 15-minute suborbital flight aboard Mercury capsule Freedom 7.

In 1973, Secretariat won the Kentucky Derby, the first of his Triple Crown victories.

In 1978, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream had its beginnings as Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield opened an ice cream parlor at a converted gas station in Burlington, Vermont.

In 1981, Irish Republican Army hunger-striker Bobby Sands died at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland on his 66th day without food.

In 1987, the congressional Iran-Contra hearings opened with former Air Force Maj. Gen. Richard V. Secord (SEE’-kohrd) the lead-off witness.

In 1994, Singapore caned American teenager Michael Fay for vandalism, a day after the sentence was reduced from six lashes to four in response to an appeal by President Bill Clinton.

In 2009, Texas health officials confirmed the first death of a U.S. resident with swine flu.

Ten years ago: Solemnly honoring victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, President Barack Obama hugged survivors at ground zero in New York and declared that the killing of Osama bin Laden was an American message to the world: “When we say we will never forget, we mean what we say.” Pakistan’s army broke its silence over the U.S. commando raid that killed bin Laden, acknowledging its “shortcomings” in finding him but threatening to review cooperation with Washington if there was another violation of Pakistani sovereignty. Director, playwright and screenwriter Arthur Laurents (“West Side Story”) died in New York at age 93.

Five years ago: Former Los Angeles trash collector Lonnie Franklin Jr. was convicted of 10 counts of murder in the “Grim Sleeper” serial killings that targeted poor, young Black women over two decades. President Barack Obama commuted the prison sentences of 58 federal convicts, part of a broader push to ease punishments for nonviolent drug offenders. Londoners cast votes in an election that gave the city its first Muslim mayor, Labour lawmaker Sadiq Khan, who succeeded outgoing Conservative Boris Johnson.

One year ago: President Donald Trump visited a Honeywell mask factory in Arizona, but ignored guidelines to wear a mask. Tyson Foods said it would resume limited operation of its huge pork processing plant in Waterloo, Iowa, with enhanced safety measures, more than two weeks after closing the facility because of a coronavirus outbreak among workers. Even though Joe Biden had no remaining opponents, a judge ruled that New York’s Democratic presidential primary would have to take place on June 23 because canceling it would be unconstitutional. Michigan communities saw record turnout for local elections, with votes cast largely by mail. Facebook said it had removed several accounts and pages linked to QAnon, taking action for the first time against the far-right conspiracy theory circulated among Trump supporters.

I don't know the whole story but I suppose you might say there are no circumstances where you deserve to be raped.

That said, I'm not surprised by anything he may have done. Never a fan of his nor his music.

It's Cinco de Mayo.  The warden already has Chile Verde on the menu.  But I think I'm going to try my hand at Mole Poblano. The family doesn't think they like Mole, but I think that's because they've only had it at restaurants norte de la linea.

Mole is not my favorite but I do like it. Admittedly, I'm not sure I've ever had it from a restaurants sud de la linea.
Ask ten gringos about mole and I'll bet nine of them say something about it having chocolate in it. My hypothesis is that the mole you get in Mexican restaurants north of the line gets loaded up with chocolate because that's how the gringos think it's supposed to be.  Then some of the gringos pretend to like it because it's snob-cool. 

So, I'm going to test the hypothesis.  My research suggests the real secret of mole poblano is the intersection of three chiles - Anchos, Pasillas, and Muletas - with nuts. 

We'll find out if I'm right this afternoon...if I can get Muletas at the local tienda.

Questions That Will Get Me Cancelled, #114:

To the various celebrity women now suing and accusing Marilyn Manson of sexual predation and abuse:  Please explain to me exactly what it was about a guy that looked like this and wrote songs about sexual sadism made you think "I really want to get naked with this guy!"
I don't know the whole story but I suppose you might say there are no circumstances where you deserve to be raped.

That said, I'm not surprised by anything he may have done. Never a fan of his nor his music.
No, there are no circumstances where anyone deserves to be raped.  But when a guy writes songs about sexual assault, maybe you want to be real cautious.

That no one deserves to get raped should go without saying, however, I question someone who dates someone like this, who obviously has ...odd?... tastes, and not expect things to push the boundaries a bit. There's a very easy line to judge between getting freaky and getting raped, and that's the point where the woman says no at any time. I just wonder about the timing of her claim, since this is not the first time stuff like this has been said about him. The last time he was accused would've been a great time to bring it up.

Not saying it didn't happen, but I'm also not in the "automatically believe them" camp, either. It's like the senator describing porn, "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it" or something to that effect. Something about this story just doesn't add up for me.

Probably the same reason women thought it was a good idea to accept an invite up to the hotel room of the old troll Harvey Weinstein, or to a party attended by the college football team....
Assault and rape are no laughing matter, and just because you have a short skirt or ample breasts is no invitation, but there are some situations where risk is high and with a little bit of common sense, you have the opportunity to avoid.
