In searching for death penalty info in Texas, I cound about about the brutal attack on Jesse Washington, a black man, possibly retarded, by whites in Waco — a story most of the locals apparently would rather forget.

But a couple of recent books and newspaper articles feature the story of the lynching, and there seems to be a movement afoot to get the event memorialized, as a symbolic gester of reconciliation, seems not too much to ask.

Found another lefty Okie blogger, in this case at Daily Kos (via diary). The Oklahoma Hippy calls his blog Phish Fan in Jeebus Land. I know that Phish is a band, but if I’ve ever heard their music, I’m not aware of it — just not that into music. Anyway, he’s pretty rad politically (outside of seeming to be a big fan of Hillary Clinton), but I can only read half the thing, cuz it’s black with dark blue links. I thought it might just be displaying poorly in Opera, but no, same thing in Firefox. Why? Why do people do that?

Our Word is a feminst group blog that grew out of the pie fight on Daily Kos. They’re using Drupal — good choice.

The brilliant Paul Krugman is the saving grace of the New York Times. An economist/academic that sees the big picture and writes clearly and passionately. He’s doing a series on the completely counter-priductive health care system in this country. And, I’ve found a complete online archive of Krugman’s work (the Times puts a price on its content after two weeks). Yay! I love the internets.

The health care columns (so far):

Ailing Health Care

The Medical Money Pit
