It appears Donald Trump’s wife Melania has been the victim of some rogue GOP speechwriter. Not only did her speech Rickroll her husband, but it is being reported at least one section of her spiel was lifted from an old Michelle Obama speech.

Donald Trump says his call for a ban on all Muslims entering (I imagine not leaving) the United States wasn’t a policy statement, but merely a suggestion. Kind of the way someone once suggested “what do all those indians need with all that land out west? They ain’t a doin’ nothin with it!”

The word “mayday”, famously used in distress calls from ships at sea, is actually a mangling of the French word “m’aidez”, or “help me”.
Also May Day is, since about 1880 or-so, International Workers’ Day – so kiss a comrade today.
And it’s the anniversary of the Haymarket Massacre when police in Chicago killed 4 marchers in a peaceful protest. And that is, I’m pretty sure, the reason for it being International Workers’ Day.
But “May Day”, or something similar at this time of year, has been celebrated in religious traditions for probably thousands of years, originally simply to mark the end of winter. In the colonies that became the U.S. “freethinkers” celebrated May Day with maypole dances along with Native Americans (in the early years before real estate values went up).
And May Day is a reminder that it is only three days until May The Fourth Be With You day.
And only four days until Cinco de Mayo, celebrating Mexican Independence Mexico’s defeat of the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.
All of which makes me think the 1st through the 5th of May should be a national holiday – or whichever five weekdays fall closest. We don’t want to get cheated with weekends being included.
