In 1964, Groucho went to East Berlin with a group that included his radio show director Robert Dwan and his 16-year-old daughter Judith Dwan Hallet. They visited the village of Dornum, where his mother Minnie had been born. and discovered that all the Jewish graves there had been obliterated by the Nazis. Groucho hired a car with a chauffeur, and told the driver to take the group to the bunker where Adolf Hitler was said to have committed suicide. Wearing his trademark beret he climbed the debris and then launched himself, unsmiling, into a frenetic Charleston dance routine. The dance on Hitler's supposed grave lasted a couple of minutes. "Nobody applauded," Hallet recalled. "Nobody laughed."

Hey, it's Hitler's birthday.

I remember the first time we took our infant daughter (ca. 2mo) on the bus into downtown. A homeless man took one look at her and exclaimed, “You’re the coolest thing I’ve seen all day!”

The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!

This meme is just so damn useful.

1942 political cartoon by Dr. Seuss. original drawing ℅ U.C. San Diego Library. At left, a doorway with a turnstile reads "Pay your income tax here." At right, the ultra-wealthy avoid paying taxes by climbing into a "Tax-Empt Securities Loop Hole for rich." A little man representing the American taxpayer waits to climb into the escape hatch, but a large man representing the House Ways and Means Committee blocks his way. The large man says, "G'wan, small fry. You pay at the turnstile!" Meanwhile, a wealthy man in fine clothes has climbed onto the committee man's back, using him as a step stool to climb into the escape hatch.

Happy Wednesday, Bluesky.
