New link!

I am surprised that I just discovered Relapsed Catholic. Anyway, even though I should probably add a whole bunch of other links that I have known about and enjoyed for some time, I am adding this one right away so I don't forget. Anyone who is as appalled as I am that the Stalinist ham actor and minstrel singer Paul Robeson is getting honored with a postage stamp is fine in my book!

Be sure to read the article she links on Robeson. He did make a good point, when he refused to support the 1956 Hungarian uprising. He said that the people involved were "the same sort of people who overthrew the Spanish Republican Government."

Paul, I couldn't have stated it better myself. And let me further congratulate you by saying that you were the sort of person who benefitted from the Spanish "Republican" Government. I sure you could have been Chief Minstrel for the Cause if they had won.
