Overnight Open Thread (7-3-2016) - Pre-4th EditionWe can be overwhelmed by the present. At the time I thought Bill Clinton was an extraordinarily bad man, but Barack Obama has helped me understand how good we had it with Bill Clinton. Not to say that Clinton isn't the most repugnant, but we now have a larger context within which to judge him. Perhaps Hillary Clinton will lend a similar context to our judgment of Obama. Ah, the uses of history. They went to Arnold [Schwarzenegger]. They went to Sly, who turned it down. They went to Richard Gere-turned it down. They went to James Caan-turned it down. They went to Burt Reynolds, and all of these people rejected it because, remember, this is 1987. You had all these Rambo movies. We've had Commando, Predator, and in the wake of all of these, the hero, they said, was like a pussy. The reaction? "This guy's no hero." Right? In desperation, they went to Bruce Willis. Soon.
An in depth investigation by the Marine Corps has concluded that for over 70 years it had wrongly identified one of the men in the iconic photo of the flag being raised over Iwo Jima. The investigation determined that Navy Corpsman John Bradley was not one of the flag-raisers in the photograph and in fact the actual flag-raiser was PFC Harold Schultz. Neither man seems to have sought any fame or reward from their role in the photo: As for John Bradley, he also had no taste for celebrity and was long traumatized by what he witnessed on Iwo. But he also understood the military, and when directed to take part in the bond drive, the young Corpsman obeyed his orders. Yet, he also moved to quickly distance himself from the fame accorded to the flag-raisers. After leaving the Navy, Bradley became a successful funeral director in his home state of Wisconsin, fathered a large family and became a pillar of the community. The Kremlin Admits Snowden is a Russian Agent The real question is whether he was already working for them when he was stealing classified files or if that was an after-thought. Hannah Cohen has an inoperable brain tumor and for 17 years has been regularly visiting St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis for regular treatments. But apparently this time she did not comply with a TSA employee's orders fast enough so she got roughed up, arrested, and put in jail. We're all safer now for their quick action. "They wanted to do further scanning, she was reluctant, she didn't understand what they were about to do," said her mother Shirley Cohen. More here. MD Governor: State House Saved by 'Ben Franklin' Lightning Rod It somehow feels fitting for 4th of July weekend that the oldest State House in the nation was hit by lightning but saved by a 208-year-old original Ben Franklin lightning rod. Ben Franklin was a modern renaissance man and the US was blessed to have a man like him at the founding.
