Five old white men voted this week to make Waskom, Texas, a “sanctuary city for the unborn.” The picture up there pretty much says it all, but the smugness on display in the video will outright make you sick.

“It’s all in an effort to make it to the Supreme Court and win,” NBC News 6 reported. Even though the city can’t afford a lawsuit and really, guys? C’mon, it’s not like Waskom, Texas, population 2,200 or so, is the only place trying to spark a case that will lead to the Trump Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. With no abortion providers in the East Texas city and all those other abortion bans from places that can afford a lawyer, this looks a little bit like grandstanding for attention.

Supporters of the measure say it’s intended to be preventative, because apparently they believe there’s an abortion-industrial complex intending to open a clinic in every Texas town of 2,000.

Waskom does not appear to be the kind of sanctuary city that seeks to protect children who are born and breathing.
 
What did janitors make back then?

I don't know, but I got all tuition, fees, room and board, and extra spending money. It was Cold War years, so engineering and science schools had lots of government money to hire professors, put up new buildings, and throw at students. My PSAT score was just below Merit Scholar cutoff, but rural schools like Clarkson College of Technology had a hard time hooking those on the list in competition with Ivies, MIT, etc, so they dipped a little to pick those like me.

The next 2 summers I worked as an apprentice plumber/electrician/HV tech (no AC in New Hampshire in those days) where I got minimum wage, $1.50 and $1.60/hr.
 
LBJ isnt President anymore, and you cant change history.

LBJ was picked to run with JFK because he was the prototype conservative Southern Democrat politician of the 50's, pretty much the opposite of JFK's liberal big-money Yankee image. He turned out to be more socialist than JFK (or even FDR) ever thought of being. A cynic would say he was trying to buy support at home to counter his unpopular aggressive push on Vietnam.
