Happy birthday to my dad, who would have been 87 today, if it weren’t for the miracles of modern medicine, and to Martin Luther King Jr., who’d be turning 78, were it not for the wonders of hatred and bigotry. The world could use a lot more people like them – now, more than ever.

They’re calling for a “major ice storm” coming my way today, including the possibility of “widespread power outages.” Hopefully, it’s a whole lot of talk that won’t turn out to be as bad as they always seem to want to make it out to be. But, if sedition radio and I are off the air today, that’s why. I’d much rather have a couple feet of snow.
