Facebook lets advertisers target you by race

Facebook, you are being Fucking Racist. Advertising and polling by race should be illegal. If you want to have a color blind society, you don’t accomplish it by constantly looking to single out minorities, whether in politics or in marketing. Of course, politics really is just marketing at this point anyway, so it’s really just the same thing. So stop contributing contributing to racist traditions and try embracing the similarities between us for a change…how about that?

Obama pledges more than $2 million to train coal miners to pilot drones

Just thinking here…instead of training coal miners to become murderous drone pilots, how about we legalize hemp and turn West Virginia and the rest of Appalachia into wealthy agricultural states instead of being among the poorest due to dependence on the dying coal industry?

Finally: Wrigley Field hosts first World Series game since 1945

I saw my first MLB game at Wrigley, and have been a not-so-secret Cubs fan ever since I spent the next two summers listening to play by play on the AM radio. The players names from that Cubs team still stick in my head…Ernie Banks, Glenn Beckett, Don Kessinger, Ron Santo, Randy Hundley, Fergie Jenkins. Glad to see the Oldest Stadium in baseball (and the Chicago Cubs) back in the World Series. #Wrigley #Cubs #chicago
