Thought this was relevant again given the news.

Letitia James became the first black woman to win a major party statewide nomination on Thursday, defeating three rivals in New York’s Democratic primary for attorney general.

With her win, Ms. James, 59, the New York City public advocate, has positioned herself as a prominent face of resistance to the policies of President Trump, a role that the New York attorney general’s office has embraced since Mr. Trump took office.

With Democrats outnumbering Republicans in New York State by a margin of more than two to one, Ms. James will be heavily favored in November against the Republican candidate, Keith Wofford, who ran unopposed. If Ms. James wins, she would be the first black woman to assume statewide office, just five years after becoming the first black woman elected to citywide office in New York.

GO TISH

Happy Labor Day.

Thought this was appropriate given McCain's passing.

It says a lot about who he was as a person that he chose his rivals to give eulogies.


Though I disagreed with McCain on almost every single issue I still respect him for his service to this country. I think McCain himself said something like "he would want to be remembered as someone who served his country with honor and made many mistakes in the process"

Thought this was relevant again after Helsinki.

John Oliver introduced Americans to Lord Buckethead. I know this is old but given what Brexit has become thought it was relevant again.
