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

"If I had my way, I would write the word 'insurance' over the door of every cottage and upon the blotting book of every public man, because I am convinced that for sacrifices that are inconceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes that would smash them forever."

Winston Churchill
