Accuracy is important in history, Donuel. Charles Lindbergh was an isolationist. Some people called him a fascist because he opposed U.S. entry into World War II, just as Woody Guthrie had. Lindbergh's father had been a congressman from Minnesota, and had opposed U.S. entry into World War I.

Father Flanagan (portrayed by Spencer Tracy in a 1938 film) founded an orphanage outside Omaha Nebraska called Boys Town.

Father Charles Coughlin built the National Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, Michigan, and preached on the radio from the shrine. He had been a strong supporter of FDR and the New Deal, but later turned against Roosevelt and supported ideas that were closer to those of Hitler and Mussolini. He was especially opposed to "Jewish bankers." [His church, by the way, is a gorgeous example of Art Deco architecture].

As for Joe Biden, it was interesting to see how warmly the delegates greeted Joe at the beginning of his speech. It was clear that he is well-loved.

And speaking of farts, the "Bernie or Bust" folks had planned a fart-in, a bean dinner to take place during Thursday's acceptance speech by Hillary Clinton. The dinner was moved to Wednesday evening so participants could go home a day earlier. No reports on the outcome of the bean dinner yet, but I'm sure all the participants are "regular guys" now.
