There are a lot of gross prejudices wrapped up into "Birthers," but wondering if Pres. Obama's birthplace was Wichita instead of Honolulu would be part of it. Its largest Asian population. The late Cokie Roberts criticism of then Sen. Obama going to Hawaii since it looked "foreign" comes to mind (unlike Roberts' home state of Louisiana, Hawaii never left the Union).

I think birtherism is more about looking for an excuse to de-legitimize someone viewed as "other" than anything else. So if Obama had been born in Wichita rather than Honolulu, the birtherite focus would just shift to his time spent in Indonesia or some other aspect of his biography they deem suspect.

okay wait also before i go to bed: babysitters club au please. bonus points for including at least one ridiculous outfit description here. triple bonus if the outfit includes a jaunty beret with like a sequined tiger appearing to leap from chrissy's forehead at some point. (sorry for plagiarizing u, ann m. martin. probably.)

YES EXCELLENT. OKAY. My brain immediately went to mapping the characters onto their BSC counterparts and then this happened.

Nancy Wheeler as Kristin Amanda Thomas. I will not be taking comments at this time.

Chrissy as Mary-Anne Spier. HEAR ME OUT, because I know Chrissy is aesthetically the Stacey BUT Mary-Anne is quiet and reserved until you piss her off and then she turns into Little Miss I Love Myself and gets sassy haircuts and is the only member of the BSC with a boyfriend AND if she's Mary Anne I can kill off Laura.

For Claudia Lynn Kishi, I'm going back and forth on El or Will, because El has a very unique sense of fashion, and would probably do well with some of Claudia's canonical outfits, while Will is a talented artist who probably needs his own phone line since he keeps breaking his mother's when he calls her from the Upside Down.

Argyle as Dawn Read Schafer because he has long hair and is from California and some people find him annoying but I like him.

Steve as Anastasia "Stacey" Elizabeth "Boontsie" McGill because if he was from New York City he'd probably talk a lot about being from New York City. Also he probably has the nickname Boontsie.

Barb as Mallory Pike because Mallory is a horse girl and Barb gives me big horse girl energy. (Also lol that Mallory doesn't have a middle name? I guess her parents forgot? I don't really care for Mallory.)

Max as Jessi Davis Ramsey because nobody on Stranger Things is canonically a dancer BUT Jessi was cool and precocious and hung out with older kids while being suave, just like Max.

Erica as Shannon Louisa Kilbourne because she gets. shit. done. and you can't spell America without Erica. Seriously, though, Shannon was a high-achieving mfer with no patience for fools.

Eddie as Logan Bruno SIMPLY for Mary Anne proximity but also because I think making Logan a metalhead would be the most interesting thing that anyone ever did for Logan's character.

Robin as Abby Stevenson because she showed up late in the series, stole my heart, and is definitely a lesbian. Abby also doesn't have a middle name, so that's fun.

This leaves me with Lucas, Mike, Jonathan, and Dustin if I'm doing main cast. SORRY, KIDS. Let's see how many "other" characters I remember from Stoneybrook.

Lucas as Sam Thomas because Sam seemed cool and was kind of a jock but still had time to flirt inappropriately with Stacey, but in this universe we'll say it's APPROPRIATE flirting with Max-as-Jessi and Lucas-as-Sam is 11 not 15.

Mike as Trevor Sandbourne because IIRC Trevor dated Claudia for a while which works if you are a Byler OR a Mileven shipper, which probably says a lot about why both those ships are fun!

Jonathan as Bart Taylor because of the Nancy proximity, only instead of coaching a kid's softball team, he takes pictures for the yearbook and Nancy, in addition to running the BSC, a softball team, solving 70 mysteries, and going on many trips around the world in various Super Specials, is also the editor of the yearbook.

Dustin as Janine Kishi simply because Janine was a geek who liked computers and shit, and Dustin enjoys such things. I'm sorry, Dustin! The BSC did not have as many nerd tropes as I needed!

Bonus:

Angela as Cokie Mason because fuck her

Jason as Alan Gray because Alan is the closest thing the series has to a real dick

Billy as Robert Brewster (if you're into Harringrove and subscribe to my Steve-as-Stacey theory) because they dated.

Anyway, this took FAR longer than it should have and I am like 30% proud of it. Please be gentle.

#bsc diaries #hellcheerocracy #this one was fun #stranger things headcanons #bsc au #stranger things #some of these are stretches i will admit #but i got all the kids in by jove

More Independence Day Recommendations

Friends Divided by Gordon S. Wood

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams could scarcely have come from more different worlds, or been more different in temperament. Jefferson, the optimist with enough faith in the innate goodness of his fellow man to be democracy's champion, was an aristocratic Southern slaveowner, while Adams, the overachiever from New England's rising middling classes, painfully aware he was no aristocrat, was a skeptic about popular rule and a defender of a more elitist view of government. They worked closely in the crucible of revolution, crafting the Declaration of Independence and leading, with Franklin, the diplomatic effort that brought France into the fight. But ultimately, their profound differences would lead to a fundamental crisis, in their friendship and in the nation writ large, as they became the figureheads of two entirely new forces, the first American political parties. It was a bitter breach, lasting through the presidential administrations of both men, and beyond.

But late in life, something remarkable happened: these two men were nudged into reconciliation. What started as a grudging trickle of correspondence became a great flood, and a friendship was rekindled, over the course of hundreds of letters. In their final years they were the last surviving founding fathers and cherished their role in this mighty young republic as it approached the half century mark in 1826. At last, on the afternoon of July 4th, 50 years to the day after the signing of the Declaration, Adams let out a sigh and said, At least Jefferson still lives. He died soon thereafter. In fact, a few hours earlier on that same day, far to the south in his home in Monticello, Jefferson died as well.

Arguably no relationship in this country's history carries as much freight as that of John Adams of Massachusetts and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. Gordon Wood has more than done justice to these entwined lives and their meaning; he has written a magnificent new addition to America's collective story.

First Principles by Thomas E. Ricks

On the morning after the 2016 presidential election, Thomas Ricks awoke with a few questions on his mind: What kind of nation did we now have? Is it what was designed or intended by the nation's founders? Trying to get as close to the source as he could, Ricks decided to go back and read the philosophy and literature that shaped the founders' thinking, and the letters they wrote to each other debating these crucial works--among them the Iliad, Plutarch's Lives, and the works of Xenophon, Epicurus, Aristotle, Cato, and Cicero. For though much attention has been paid the influence of English political philosophers, like John Locke, closer to their own era, the founders were far more immersed in the literature of the ancient world.

The first four American presidents came to their classical knowledge differently. Washington absorbed it mainly from the elite culture of his day; Adams from the laws and rhetoric of Rome; Jefferson immersed himself in classical philosophy, especially Epicureanism; and Madison, both a groundbreaking researcher and a deft politician, spent years studying the ancient world like a political scientist. Each of their experiences, and distinctive learning, played an essential role in the formation of the United States. In examining how and what they studied, looking at them in the unusual light of the classical world, Ricks is able to draw arresting and fresh portraits of men we thought we knew.

Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts

While much has been written about the men who signed the Declaration of Independence, battled the British, and framed the Constitution, the wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters they left behind have been little noticed by history. Roberts brings us the women who fought the Revolution as valiantly as the men, often defending their very doorsteps. While the men went off to war or to Congress, the women managed their businesses, raised their children, provided them with political advice, and made it possible for the men to do what they did. The behind-the-scenes influence of these women -- and their sometimes very public activities -- was intelligent and pervasive.

Drawing upon personal correspondence, private journals, and even favored recipes, Roberts reveals the often surprising stories of these fascinating women, bringing to life the everyday trials and extraordinary triumphs of individuals like Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, Deborah Read Franklin, Eliza Pinckney, Catherine Littlefield Green, Esther DeBerdt Reed, and Martha Washington -- proving that without our exemplary women, the new country might never have survived.

Rush by Stephen Fried

By the time he was thirty, Dr. Benjamin Rush had signed the Declaration of Independence, edited Common Sense, toured Europe as Benjamin Franklin’s protégé, and become John Adams’s confidant, and was soon to be appointed Washington’s surgeon general. And as with the greatest Revolutionary minds, Rush was only just beginning his role in 1776 in the American experiment. As the new republic coalesced, he became a visionary writer and reformer; a medical pioneer whose insights and reforms revolutionized the treatment of mental illness; an opponent of slavery and prejudice by race, religion, or gender; an adviser to, and often the physician of, America’s first leaders; and “the American Hippocrates.” Rush reveals his singular life and towering legacy, installing him in the pantheon of our wisest and boldest Founding Fathers.

what's chopped liver taste like? I always keep wanting to try it and then being intimidated and choosing something else when I get the opportunity

It depends on what you make it with/add to it, but it's basically Ashkenazi pâté, with chopped hard boiled eggs and onions (fried/carmelized is the best but not necessarily to where they're crunchy) and, traditionally, schmaltz.

It's usually rich and a bit gamy and sweet (because of the onions, but again, depending on how you make it - Cokie Roberts added cognac and tabasco to the base recipe from Hyman Bookbinder via Joan Nathan, and I've used soy sauce and gin when I've made it in the past) and I recommend it. It's also not very difficult to make, and not very expensive (because people tend to avoid things like liver and kidneys and so forth).

#Nixon50 #OTD 3/27/1973 President Nixon met with Congresswoman Corinne “Lindy” Boggs. Mrs. Boggs won the special election held to fill the congressional seat of her husband, Thomas Hale Boggs Sr., who was declared dead several weeks after his plane disappeared over Alaska on October 16, 1972. In 1974, she was elected to serve her first full term. She represented Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District until January 1991. In 1997, Cong. Boggs was appointed 5th United States Ambassador to the Holy See.

Fun Fact: One of the Boggs’s children was the renowned television journalist “Cokie” Roberts. (Image: WHPO-E0507-04A)

Of the three great 18th Century Revolutions, the American Revolutionary War came first:

And it was the least revolutionary in a way but the most in another. One seldom sees the evasions that a Creole revolt is revolutionary when it's good Father Hidalgo or not so good Agustin de Iturbide and Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Nor for that matter Simon Bolivar, Bernardo O'Higgins, and Jose de San Martin. In establishing the template of a breakaway from an empire, the US Revolution was in many ways the kind of model the Haitian expanded upon and made the most revolutionary of them all.

Women played an essential part at the highest and lowest levels, and a few specific women will be noted as exemplars of 18th Century America. Women were in many ways the backbone and the essential part of maintaining the cohesiveness of the Revolution, as they were in Haiti and in France, as well.

And make no mistake, establishing a secession of a colony and a rejection of monarchy for a republic on the basis of human rights, even if the human rights were defined only for a narrow few, was indeed revolutionary in the context of the 18th Century. It seems less so now because both expectations and the means to meet them are higher.

Marjorie Taylor Greene reportedly wants to be Trump’s 2024 VP pick

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reportedly has her sights set on being Donald Trump’s running mate in 2024. NBC News reports that two sources who have spoken to the far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ congresswoman about her ambitions, said Greene is laser focused on becoming the former president’s VP pick. Greene’s “whole vision is to be vice president,” according to one person who has advised the congresswoman. The source, who has ties to Trump, spoke to NBC News on the condition of anonymity. Former Trump aid Steve Bannon agreed. “This is no shrinking violet. She’s ambitious — she’s not shy about that, nor should she be,” Bannon said. “She sees herself on the short list for Trump’s VP. Paraphrasing Cokie Roberts, when MTG looks in the mirror she sees a potential president smiling back.” Both sources believe Greene’s recent rebrand as a bridge between the Republican party’s hardliners and establishment wing is likely part of her effort to make herself a more viable VP candidate. Greene has a reputation as a firebrand, prone to making incendiary statements that have endeared her to the far-right while alienating some of her more centrist colleagues in the House. But her support of House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in his protracted bid to become House Speaker has now alienated some in the far-right House Freedom Caucus. “She’s both strategic and disciplined — she made a power move, knowing it would run up hard against her most ardent crew,” said Bannon. “She was prepared to take the intense heat/hatred short-term for the long-term goal of being a player.” But as NBC notes, Greene’s superior fundraising and her new committee assignments in the new Republican-led House are likely to repair her relations with the party’s hard-liners and raise her profile even further. Her positions on the House Oversight, Homeland Security, and COVID Select committees give her the opportunity to participate in investigations of the Biden Administration and the government’s handling of the pandemic. Trump announced his third campaign for the White House in November. His break with former Vice President Mike Pence over Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election opens the field for other potential running mates. “I haven’t even talked to Steve Bannon about it,” Greene told NBC News in response to Bannon’s comments. “Congresswoman Greene is laser focused on serving the people of Northwest Georgia on her new committees in the GOP majority,” Greene spokesman Nick Dyer said. “Her work on Oversight, Homeland Security, and the COVID Select committee is her priority and people shouldn’t get wrapped up into rumors.” http://dlvr.it/ShTmcy

The Five Scariest Words I've Heard This Week...

New Post has been published on https://www.ebvs.blog/2023/01/25/the-five-scariest-words-ive-heard-this-week/

The Five Scariest Words I've Heard This Week...

Here’s a phrase that should send shivers down just about anyone’s spine: Vice-President Marjorie Taylor Green.

Don’t laugh. Well, not too much, anyway. She’s serious about this.

NBC News says, MTG wants to be Trump’s running mate in 2024.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is angling to be Donald Trump’s running mate in 2024, according to two people who have spoken to the firebrand second-term congresswoman about her ambitions.

“This is no shrinking violet, she’s ambitious — she’s not shy about that, nor should she be,” said Steve Bannon, the former top Trump aide who hosts the War Room podcast, where Greene has been a guest.

“She sees herself on the short list for Trump’s VP. Paraphrasing Cokie Roberts, when MTG looks in the mirror she sees a potential president smiling back,” he added, referencing Roberts, the late political reporter who worked for NPR, ABC News and other outlets.

A second source who has advised Greene said her “whole vision is to be vice president.” The source, who has ties to Trump but spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations, said he also believes Greene would be on Trump’s short list.

This ambition explains a few things she’s said and done lately, such as distancing herself from the “Q-Anon” conspiracy. Speaking to Howard Kurtz on FOX News, she claimed that “like a lot of people” she “had easily gotten sucked into some things I had seen on the internet.”

Greene: Like a lot of people today, I had easily gotten sucked into some things I had seen on the internet.. pic.twitter.com/IwK3gf191J

— Acyn (@Acyn) January 8, 2023

Snopes notes that this is similar to an earlier remark she’d made about her following Q-Anon.

Back in 2021 when she was stripped of her House committee assignments, she said her past comments about QAnon “do not represent me” and she was “was allowed to believe things that weren’t true […].” She added that she regretted that she “would ask questions about them and talk about them.”

[She was “allowed” to? Who do you go to to get permission to believe in crazy conspiracy theories?]

She has also bound herself tightly to Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who is rewarding her help in recruiting representatives to vote for his Speakership by giving her a place on two choice committee seats. “I will never leave that woman,” McCarthy told a friend, according to the New York Times. “I will always take care of her.” And taking care of her means assignments to high-profile, powerful committees – the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security.

Two years is a long time, and loyalty among Republicans is highly volatile, but if McCarthy, trump and Green can maintain their bonds until the election, don’t be surprised if you hear Greene’s name floated for the Vice Presidency.

Looking in a Mirror of the Past: A Biography of Cokie Roberts

My husband reads books like I eat chocolate—daily and only high quality. When he visits the library, he finds himself drawn to books that I might like to read and brings them home along with his stack. This time, he hit a home run. It was a biography. I love biographies. I think that is because I love meeting new people, and while a biography is not in-the-flesh, it offers a way to touch the…

Veteran journalist Cokie Roberts, who joined an upstart NPR in 1978 and left an indelible imprint on the growing network with her coverage of Washington politics before later going to ABC News, has died. She was 75.

Roberts died Tuesday due to complications from breast cancer, according to a family statement.

A bestselling author and Emmy Award winner, Roberts was one of NPR's most recognizable voices and is considered one of a handful of pioneering female journalists — along with Nina Totenberg, Linda Wertheimer and Susan Stamberg — who helped shape the public broadcaster's sound and culture at a time when few women held prominent roles in journalism.

Having so many female voices at a national broadcaster was nothing short of revolutionary in the 1970s, NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson recalled in an interview with The Daily Princetonian earlier this year.

"[W]e called them the Founding Mothers of NPR, or sometimes we called them the Fallopian Club," she said.

Liasson said it wasn't so much that NPR had a mission for gender equality, but that the network's pay, which was well below the commercial networks of the day, resulted in "a lot of really great women who were in prominent positions there and who helped other women."

By the time Roberts joined ABC News in 1988 — while retaining a part-time role as a political commentator at NPR that she maintained until her death — women were increasingly commonplace at broadcast networks and newspapers.
