How The FBI +Used+ To Spend Its Time

June 18, 2019June 17, 2019

I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you about Rebellion Stonewall that aired Sunday night.  But through the magic of technology, you can watch it anyway — and without the commercials, so just 45 minutes — by clicking that link and signing in via your cable service or Hulu or whatever.  It’s really good.


And then tonight, at 9pm on PBS, you can watch The Lavender Scare.  See how FBI agents used to spend their time — which was not a little ironic, given that their boss, J. Edgar Hoover, was himself homosexual.  (This Wikipedia entry is not so definitive; but . . . seriously?)


Curtailing my normal verbosity to give you time to watch.

Quote of the Day

"The IRS audits about 1 tax return in 100 these days. When 357,598 taxpayers filed the first modern income-tax returns in 1914, they had to sign them under oath before officials. And the Bureau of Internal Revenue audited every one."
