Now I'm really peeved!

The comics in today's paper are all repeats from yesterday.

One of life's simple pleasures has been stolen from me.

Hmmmm.

It now appears that they printed today's comics yesterday. And then again today.

AJ check this out http://darkgate.net/comic/
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Oh, I can read the comics online. The Chron has more online than they print. It's just not the same as opening the paper and reading them that way.

All the news, everything, that is in the print edition of the paper is at the website. Actually more stuff is on the website I just like reading the paper.

It's an experiment. They think most people who read the comics have such short attention spans they won't notice.

Come to think of it, I could have sworn I've seen a couple of those Peanuts comics before.

I'm peeved because you were the answer to the final bar trivia question last night........the first US president of Irish descent. It cost us $15.00.

Is Jackson Day still celebrated anywhere? The Democratic Party used to (a hundred years ago) have a party on Jackson Day but I don't think they do any more. Jefferson-Jackson Day in February or March kind of took over.

There is Lee-Jackson Day coming up soon in Virginia but that's Stonewall Jackson.

Democrats all over the county have Jefferson-Jackson dinners sometime during the year. Colorado state and local Dems say J-J. Locally, we're trying to unload Jackson because of his horrible track record with the Native population. "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."

That's not exactly correct. The U.S. President Andrew Jackson was Scots-Irish. Which isn't really Irish. We should use the British term "Ulster Scots". It avoids that Irish business. His ancestors were Scots Protestants moved to Ulster in the 17th century. His parents were from Ireland but weren't Irish in descent.

My Scots Jackson ancestors went to the Netherlands instead of getting sent to Ireland. They made a swing back into Scotland for a short time before emigrating to South Carolina about the same time as the other Andrew Jackson's parents did from Ireland.

Chester Arthur was probably the first U.S. President of Irish heritage.

Although, I guess in the larger picture the Scoti were a Gaelic tribe that started in Ireland and moved to what became Scotland.

Last Saturday Bob Edwards' radio program featured an interview with the author of American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House. The book sounded interesting so I've reserved it at the library.

I'm not making any claim that the Scots-Irish weren't low or vile, just that they weren't of Irish descent. They just lived in Ireland for a while. Some of them still do.
