Gerry Connolly (D-VA 11th), Anti-Shark

Many here are doubtless aware that Gerry Connolly, the Representative from northern Virginia's 11th District, has long been doing steady yeoman's work - along with Elijah Cummings - to blunt the nefarious purposes of first Darrell Issa, and now Jason Chaffetz, as the evil-lizard Republican chairs of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It has just come to my attention that Mr. Connolly has also recently done a little something else that demonstrates his willingness to actually walk the walk - not just talk the talk - on behalf of labor solidarity in this country. Past the orange evil-lizard snare below, I will briefly report the event.

As it happens, I had a maternal great-aunt, Elizabeth Maria Munger (1883-1962), who was modestly famous in correctional circles during the 1920s-40s, both here in America and in Europe. She served as the first female warden of a correctional facility in the State of Connecticut, and actively pursued necessary progressive penal reforms during that time, on the local, national, and international levels.

The following article briefly outlining her biography, with copious reference to other then contemporary feminist progressives in corrections, is cross-posted from my personal website, where additional personal photographs and transcripts of primary sources may also easily be found. I would laugh almost hysterically, if I were to report in detail how many of the links to external sources in the footnotes have broken, during the last ten years; but such is the internet, it would seem.

Follow me below the Great Orange Penological Restraining Device for a whirlwind tour of feminist progressivism in early twentieth-century American corrections.

Five years ago today, I wandered downtown along storied Pennsylvania Avenue to observe and document "the largest gathering of fiscal conservatives ever held in Washington, D.C.," the Freedom Works- and Heartland Institute-sponsored Taxpayer March on Washington, a.k.a. the 9/12 Tea Party.

"Stop this unconstitutional fascist dictatorship"

Follow me below the Great Orange Curlicue of Unconstitutional Fascist Dictatorship for a series of photographs from that event helpfully captioned and described, with a humble and timely rant on the subject of GOTV. Read More

Love, Loss, Grief, and Coming of Age in "the Homosexual Lifesyle"

The recent meta-fest after Commonmass' banning called my attention to this group; and browsing through the diaries here - with their poignant testimonies to the enduring value of human love in the face of tragedy and loss - has been both a moving, and inspiring, experience. A recurrent theme in the comment threads tells how uniquely and unpredictably grief strikes among individuals, which made me suddenly realize that I, too, have taken a long and arduous pilgrimage through that grim landscape and may perhaps profitably add a mite to the wealth of witnesses enshrined in this collection. It's not a typical story, in many ways; but it reveals both how insidiously, and inevitably, grief's toll must eventually be paid in the lives where it intrudes. Follow me below the orange winding cloth for one man's protracted journey through the valley of the shadow.
