“The night before the burial of her husband’s body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag.”
This and the photo got my tears going.
Here’s a question: Will Hillary Clinton march in the New York City gay pride parade in a few weeks?
She’s marched in all the other NYC gay pride parades since she became Senator from New York (I took this picture of her from our apartment window two years ago). Except for last year. Last year she was too busy running for president, and marching in New York City’s gay pride parade probably didn’t seem like the best way to appeal to a national voter base.
But now she doesn’t have to deal with that anymore. So I wonder if she’ll march. She’d probably have a ginormous crowd.
Here’s a great chart summarizing Obama’s delegate lead over five months of voting, including reminders of the various events over the past five months, as well as a U.S. map showing where Obama and Clinton each won popular votes. The Times often puts together neat charts like this that manage to pack a whole lot of information into one image.
