Backpacks were just starting to come in back then. Armbands were plentiful.

Ummm. I actually remember both book bags and arm bands.
But the book bags were usually rucksacks and canvas. (does that still count?)

Until the 1980's, folks used the bladders of wild boars to carry their books.
Hugh threw his Ipod across the room when he heard of MLK's assassination.
We had satchels back then. Basically the same thing, just not a backpack style.

i actually carried a box.
with that, i am no longer qualified to be president.

now you are a year off in the other direction.
So Hewitt didn't have a Nazi armband at 12? I'm shocked.
William F Buckley, on hearing of MLK's death, had an extra martini.
They weren't called armbands in 1968, man. They were called brassards, man.
We had satchels back then. Basically the same thing, just not a backpack style.

Yes, it was a satchel. I don't remember whether it had a shoulder strap or not. You'd think so, but I just don't remember.

Yeah! The internets are fixed.

leibniz: Buckley probably made his martinis by pouring the gin in the presence of a bottle of vermouth. Sort of a homeopathic approach...
we had armbands but we wore them as chastity belts.
clearly, anyone who uses the word "bookbag" instead of "satchel" to describe what happened in 1968 is a lying sack of manure trying to hoodwink the american people. how could anyone fall for such tripe?

damn - Creationist preacher Ken Ham is used to the problems that arise from combining what he reads in the Old Testament and what scientists tell him. He has no difficulty squaring six days of creation and 6,000 years of Earth history with evidence from fossils and geological dating - for him, scientists who think the world is millions of years old are simply wrong.
Ham, a US-based Australian, has been on a tour of the UK, and listening to him explain this week that most of the fossils on the Earth were left during Noah's flood, and that dragon legends are ancient memories of dinosaurs, it would be easy to dismiss him as a crank.
Scientific evidence suggests the Earth is around 4.5bn years old, the universe is around 14bn years old and dinosaurs died out 65m years ago, long before anything resembling a human evolved.
But Ham's ideas and his organisation, Answers in Genesis (AIG), are influential, especially in the US. In May last year, the organisation built the Creation Museum in Kentucky. Within eight weeks of opening, the $27m (£14m) attraction had clocked up 100,000 visitors. The operation in the UK is smaller but still significant, with an annual turnover of around £500,000. One report suggested it dispatches between 30,000 and 50,000 books, DVDs and videos each year.

I do not care for 'law enforcement' making a trip to the store into an act of bravery, or having it function as the mailed fist of a terrorist junta. Guadalupe is, incidentally, primarily populated by Pascua Yaqui Indians - not illegal Hispanics. But the town has had the misfortune to have contracted with the Maricopa County Sheriff Department to provide its 'law enforcement' - which means that Sheriff Joke was able to get some media attention in his puerile illegal pursuit.

Yes. A Pew Research Center poll of 109 leading historians found that 61 percent of them rank Bush as “worst ever” among U.S. presidents.

On The trail 1999:
The Republican party's $790 billion tax-cut bill, the senator further warns, contains ugly surprises for ordinary voters (though he fails to mention that he voted for it, too). Huge tax breaks for corporations and other special interests become effective immediately, but taxbreaks for families are postponed until 2003. The bill was a meaningless partisan charade, he explains, since everyone knew Clinton would veto it. "I ridiculed the bill on the floor of the Senate the day I voted for it," he confides later with quirky satisfaction. McCain (The Bullshitter Talker)

Arpaio is as close to a movie style cop-villain as you can get. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a shrine to Bull Conners around somewhere and thinks the world of the character Buford T. Justice.

When I was a kid I had this copying system that used gelatin in a square pan with a roller. I was designing neighbourhood newsletters with it. I was like, 10.
Back then, you used things like benzene freely, getting it all over your hands as you cleaned the rollers; the whole shop was always perfumed with it.

More than 3,000 women and their families have sued Johnson & Johnson, asserting that users of the Ortho Evra patch suffered heart attacks, strokes and, in 40 cases, death. From 2002 to 2006, the food and drug agency received reports of at least 50 deaths associated with the drug.
Documents and e-mail messages from Johnson & Johnson, made public as part of the lawsuits against the company, show that even before the drug agency approved the product in 2001, the company’s own researchers found that the patch delivered far more estrogen each day than low-dose pills. When it reported the results publicly, the company reduced the numbers by 40 percent.
The F.D.A. did not warn the public of the potential risks until November 2005 — six years after the company’s own study showed the high estrogen releases. At that point, the product’s label was changed, and prescriptions fell 80 percent, to 187,000 by last February from 900,000 in March 2004.
Gloria Vanderham, a Johnson & Johnson spokeswoman, said the company acted responsibly.

NYT: Army leaders are expressing increased alarm about the mental health of soldiers who would be sent back to the front again and again under plans that call for troop numbers to be sustained at high levels in Iraq for this year and beyond.
Among combat troops sent to Iraq for the third or fourth time, more than one in four show signs of anxiety, depression or acute stress, according to an official Army survey of soldiers’ mental health.

Pentagon: Colleges must hand over names
By Rick Maze - Staff writer
Posted : Wednesday Apr 2, 2008 14:12:38 EDT
The Defense Department has announced a new get-tough policy with colleges and universities that interfere with the work of military recruiters and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs.
Under rules that will take effect April 28, defense officials said they want the exact same access to student directories that is provided to all other prospective employers.
Students can opt out of having their information turned over to the military only if they opt out of having their information provided to all other recruiters, but schools cannot have policies that exclude only the military, defense officials said in a March 28 notice of the new policy in the Federal Register.
http://www.armytimes.com/news/20...chools_033108w/
Molly -- it must be rough! We doin' the next EschaCon there (since Rude got us banned from the Courtyard)? BTW -- howza financing so far?
From the NY Times, Jan. 10, 1965, "Helping the Student to Find It:"
"Every student can profit from, and probably afford, several paperbound dictionaries: one for armchair or bed reading, one for briefcase or bookbag…"
SWEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

Every last industrialized nation save the USA offers health insurance. Many have better health results. Most spend around half what we spend, per capita.
Simply wrong on the facts. It's being done right now, every day, all over the world, better and for far less money than we spend here.

WTF is "government run food"?
oooo the Four Seasons! My son and his wife were wed by wiccan hand fasting at the Boston Four Seasons...three days before my youngest was born. Once I was sure I was not going to go into labor on the dance floor I never ate so well in my life! Good times....
Despite their coach’s warning, the Black players met and decided they wanted to discuss with their coach what they felt to be a matter of conscience.36 On the snowy morning of October 17, 1969, they walked to the athletic complex. They were in street clothes and wore black armbands to show Coach Eaton how they might protest. The coach requested that the group be seated in the bleachers at the fieldhouse. In the presence of two assistant coaches, Eaton called the Blacks “rabble-rousers” who could no longer be supported by taxpayer money. He told them they could go back on “Negro relief.” Repeatedly he told the athletes to “shut up” and suggested that if they had not come to Wyoming, “they would be out on the streets hustling.”37 Eaton then revoked their scholarships and dismissed them from the team.

My school cafeterias were government run. I used to like the pizza and spaghetti with garlic bread....
'Anyone that's ever eaten government run food knows damn well government run healthcare can't work.'
Well, as the good professor W has said a few times, it is disturbing that people trust nuclear weapons, the navigation of airliners and aircraft carriers to the federal government, but think that it can't do health care.

PENTAGON: A database has been created by the Pentagon compiling personal information on 30 million 16-25-year-olds, including name, address, email addresses, cell phone numbers, ethnicity, social security numbers and areas of study. For background information about the Pentagon database, click here.
HIGH SCHOOLS: As a result of Section 9528 of the No Child Left Behind Act, each high school receiving federal funding is REQUIRED to turn over student contact information (name, address, phone number) to local military recruiters unless parents opt out in writing. For background information on No Child Left Behind's high school military recruiting provision, click here.

I don't fucking get this. Does this mean all non-military recruiting including corps, NGO's, etc?

When he was a POW in 'Nam, John McCain dreamed of tasting government run food made by patriotic American soldiers so go back to Russia, commie.
I was 7 at the time, but I wore a black arm band in 1968 (for the moratorium lead by John Kerry). Well actually, to be frank, I tried to make a black arm band to wear but my motor skills were not up to it (still probably aren't).
Have you ever dined in a government run cafeteria?
Five days a week, eight months a year for almost 15 years, hot lunch at public school. Pretty tasty and nutritious, overall. But I finished school before Reagan declared ketchup a vegetable.
Ouzo has also informed me that my files were backed up on a "server" he has in our den. I'm going to him breasts right now.
Ouzo has just informed me my Dell is probably dead and I will need a new one.
friends don't let friends buy Dell. I swore after they sold my mother a lemon that I would never do business with them.
eventually she bought another Dell, but I never did, and never will.

Lotsa geeks can get your data files, even off dead machines. When Thers got his new laptop, all the docs and pics and songs were already on it.
Monica,
You can probably still save the data on the disk. If the disk won't boot, try installing it as a second drive on another machine first. If that doesn't work, there are some utilities that can pull data files off corrupted disks.

Well, he had to sick an entire hive on the Dell people to get them to do something about his damn laptop ...and I think it was their most expensive one - a damned pricey paperweight, it is.
I just bought a new MacBook with TimeMachine. It's great, just plug the computer in to my LaCie drive and it backs everything up automatically. So much easier than me clicking and dragging and trying to figure out what stuff to backup and what not to.
mer: with the economy going south, the recruiters will do better. Recall, if you're old enough to remember, the old Tom Paxton song:
I got a letter from LBJ, it says, 'This is your lucky day,
'It's time to put your khaki trousers on;
'Though it may seem very clear, we've got no job to give you here,
'So we are sending you to Vietnam.'

Moral Majority co-founder Paul Weyrich was for Mitt Romney before he was against him. ThinkProgress:
Last November, Moral Majority co-founder Paul Weyrich “made a splash” when he endorsed former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney for president. “With a clear conservative vision to move America forward, he will strengthen our economy, our military and our families,” said Weyrich of Romney. The LA Times reports that in a new letter, however, Weyrich joins other social conservatives and urges McCain to reject Romney as vice president:
To be clear, we all welcome anyone who has come around to the cause of life and family. However, Romney’s actions as governor flatly contradict both the values widely associated with his faith as well as his pro-life and pro-traditional marriage campaign rhetoric.

black armbands in 1965:
One in a series of interviews with principals involved in First Amendment-related U.S. Supreme Court cases (see below).
When 15-year-old John Tinker, his sister, Mary Beth Tinker, 13, and Christopher Eckhardt, 16, wore black armbands to their Iowa public schools in December 1965 to protest the Vietnam conflict, they never imagined that their actions would lead to a landmark First Amendment decision.

With a digital receiver I can get C-Span without having to subscribe to their 'digital tier service', but they've got the signal too low for me to grab TCM - and are claiming that everything on digital is part of the 'digital tier'. Clearly it is not - there's no scrambling of any of the digital channels between 99-199, and TCM is theoretically at 199.

Probably the most atypical celebrity reaction I saw while I was in Nashville was the gas station cashier out on Dickerson Road who was still swooning when I arrived at the counter, about three minutes after Peter Frampton.
Was Peter talking through his guitar? That's teh cool.
Jeez, what was Peter Frampton doing out on Dickerson Road? Hell, what were YOU doing there? That's where all the prostitutes go to pick up johns.
Peter Frampton used to live here, in Williamson County. Don't know if he still does. Jon Bon Jovi was here for a while and Jack White of the White Stripes lives down the road from me.
We're used to big music stars, but Robert Plant is like super-duper big .... He has that album and tour with Alison Krauss so maybe that's why he's here.

Oh, juan non o. that hurt.
In early December 1965, a group of adults and students met at the Eckhardt home to discuss ways to convey anti-war sentiments. Several students, including the three who became litigants, decided to wear black armbands to school.
"We had two official reasons for wearing the armbands," John Tinker told freedomforum.org. "First, we wanted to mourn the dead on both sides of the war. Secondly, we wanted to show support for Robert Kennedy's call for a Christmas truce."
School officials in Des Moines became aware of the students' plans and on Dec. 14, 1965, passed a policy forbidding the wearing of armbands in school. If a student refused to remove an armband, he or she would be suspended.
A few days later, John Tinker and Eckhardt wore their armbands to their high schools and Mary Beth Tinker wore hers to her junior high. All three were suspended.

With a digital receiver I can get C-Span without having to subscribe to their 'digital tier service', but they've got the signal too low for me to grab TCM - and are claiming that everything on digital is part of the 'digital tier'. Clearly it is not - there's no scrambling of any of the digital channels between 99-199, and TCM is theoretically at 199.
When I get on the horn with Charter customer service, she tells me that I shouldn't be getting about half the channels I already have.

I was in college during the early sixties and bookbags were much in evidence -- the sororities made a big deal of NOT allowing their members to carry them -- they were more like briefcases than the current backpacks -- but they were called bookbags
and wearing a black armband was common during protests then -- in fact black armbands have been a standard article of mourning clothing for at least a century which is where the idea comes from of course

what is a "ling run"
does it involve fish?
The black militants took over Cornell wielding machine guns. The white folk were forced out of the SNCC because they were white. The SDS split into the PL, which, tiring of the class traitors in mao's China, looked to Hoxha's Albania for a model socialist state, while the Weathermen built bombs that killed people. And not a bit of this mobilized, organized, taught anybody anything except that the left couldn't be trusted with the nation's business. They became caricatures of themselves, all of them, dead ends, and left the country to Nixon and then Reagan.
The only bright spots I see in retrospect, from, say, 1968 on, were the gay folk and those wimmen standing up for their rights, often in opposition to the leadership of the left wing organizations of the time. Recall Stokely Carmichael's notorious comment that the position of women in the movement is prone.

Speaking of housecleaning, Henrietta the Hound had some diarrhea on an antique oriental rug, probably vegetable-dyed. How should I clean it? Probably water and Ivory?
The poop has dried in as this happened during the night and I only noticed now.
Just let me finish scrubbing this toilet first.

similar things happened to the British left over here and now they are pretty much ghettoized and just can't seem to do populism or have broad appeal

I was friends with twins. One of them had stuck a pencil through the cheek of the other, so I could tell them apart by the resulting dark mark.

Blech. Nature's Miracle works well, but I don't know about an antique oriental rug. Usually on things like this they tell us to use vinegar and water solutions.

He didn't miss anything. It was really quiet and boring that year.

I'd stay away from the soap. Try water and vinegar.

Moon: once Thatcher succeeded in demonizing the labor movement, 'New Labor' was fairly inevitable, seems to me. In this country, anybody in the union movement who remotely approached political thought in a larger framework than doing well for his members was read out as a Communist, leaving, all too often, corrupt mobsters and self-interested guildsmen as the sole leadership of the labor movement.

I use vinegar and water on my wood floors and they look terrific. It's also really good on tiles and cleaning mildew out of the grout. Much better than that other stuff you buy at the store.

We don't have tornados very much here, but we get hurricanes that makes everything Waterworld in about a one day period.
My first thought when I heard about MLK Jr. being shot was the same as my thought during the most recent shooting.
"Let's not politicize this. The person that shot him had the second amendment right to have a gun. What the real problem is that not enough people AROUND MLK Jr. had guns. If only his body guards and people around him had conceal carry permits things would have been different. If they had CCW permits the guy who shot King would not have being able to waltz into the "Victim disarmament zone." and get away with it.
The number one thing I have to do is not upset the NRA and their supporters when I comment on this. We also can't let this lead to any kind of new gun laws. There are plenty of gun laws on the books, they just need to be enforced. Besides, if it wasn't a gun someone could have killed him with a knife, are you going to ban knives next? Should we tell the people who sell knives how to regulate the actions of the people who buy their knives?"
(Please note this is satire and note how much our dialog have been changed because of fear of the NRA, especially the way THEY politicized something and then they tell others that WE politicize things -- which rob us of our ability to deal with the issue when it is hot.)

I remember the sixties too goddamned well. Every last hope got smashed, one by one, often in blood. The assassinations of Kennedys and King. Vietnam destroying the war on poverty. Dubcek's Prague Spring under tank treads. Goodman, Schwerner and Cheney getting killed. McCarthy's and RFK's campaigns met with the 1968 Chicago convention.
Don't wax nostalgic about the sixties and expect me to take you seriously, unless you're talking of your own life, your own coming of age, your own dreams, in which case I probably shared some of them.

Hardwood floors should never be washed with a wet mop. I use a "damp" cloth with water and vinegar and move it around with a squegee thing.

Would that sound like "DAVE TRADEMARK COPYRIGHT!" or "DAVE TMC!"?
Well, I guess I'd better get some of my weekend chores done. If I sit here and think too hard about the '60s, I'll go barking-mad.
While I make a stab at being industrious, you all could check out Foreign Policy Day at our joint.

I was born in '66. My family was very political. My first real memory was Watergate, and my Grandmother SEETHING over Nixon. I think I was probably nine or ten before I found out that his first name was "Richard," and not "THATSONOFABITCH."

Bookbages were cooler than backpacks and I loved mine. The armbands were a sign of mourning and protest.
Both were real and these are stupid questions posed by people who are too lazy to care about important matters of public policy.
hmmmm. I'm sure drudge will put this story up real soon and maybe even a mention on politico...
Mccain literally says on that video that the civil rights movement 'really wasn't an issue' in 68 because he was in the military and also because there weren't many blacks in his district so it wasn't really an issue which is why he didn't vote for voting for the King holiday.
Yet hillary may not have actually worn a black armband or had a book bag in 1968 when King was killed and they're going to expose the truth.
I don't know what's stupider -- people who accepted a war in Iraq and the five years of excuses and lies about it, getting all uppity about armbands, etc. or being so DAMN stupid they don't fucking know there were armbands all over the place in 1968.
Bookbags, too.
Christ, Bush probably even knows this!
How dumb are these people?
"Yet hillary may not have actually worn a black armband or had a book bag in 1968 when King was killed and they're going to expose the truth.
jackemoe"
I suppose there's no real need to comment because the comment just above handles it quite nicely but I find jackmoe's (and others) comment to be so ridiculously stupid that it's hard to hold fire.
In that era some women, especially the more studious, carried books in a large cloth bag that resembled an oversized hand bag. Armbands date back probably centuries.
jackmoe and others have no goddamn way of proving or disproving what Hillary Clinton did or did not do on a spring day in 1968. What she did say fits the culture and events of the day. People like jackmoe and so many Obama supporters are so eager to demonize Hillary Clinton that they end up acting and sounding like Republicans and Kenneth Starr prigs. Fucking disgusting.
