May 24, 1964

Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Arizona), running for the Republican Party nomination in the upcoming presidential election, gives an interview in which he discusses the use of low-yield atomic bombs in North Vietnam to defoliate forests and destroy bridges, roads, and railroad lines bringing supplies from communist China. During the storm of criticism that followed, Goldwater tried to back away from these drastic actions, claiming that he did not mean to advocate the use of atomic bombs but was “repeating a suggestion made by competent military people.” Democrats painted Goldwater as a warmonger who was overly eager to use nuclear weapons in Vietnam. Though he won his party’s nomination, Goldwater was never able to shake his image as an extremist in Vietnam policies. This image was a key factor in his crushing defeat by opponent Lyndon B. Johnson, who took about 61 percent of the vote to Goldwater’s 39 percent.
Barry Goldwater was kinda crazy.

It's a 'battery' filled with plutonium that puts out so much heat they have to insulate the probe from it.

I thought I heard yesterday that the price of oil dropped recently due to speculation on Iranian oil entering the market again. This is on top of the fact that oil is the cheapest it has been since at least 2009 (And earlier this year it hit parity with prices in 2004).

There's a lot more to gasoline prices than oil prices. Mostly, refining, transport, and gasoline demand.

I'd like to know where you learned that from, because it's pretty much the opposite of everything I've read. Most of the Great Society legislation was passed in '64 after the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that LBJ pushed through to get the room he needed to escalate Vietnam, and he still portrayed himself as the candidate of "no escalation in Vietnam" through the '64 election. (Not hard to do when you're against Barry "low-yield nukes to deforest SE Asia" Goldwater.)

LBJ didn't really start pushing the war until late '65, early '66, well after the Great Society was in place.

It's something I remembered from my high school "Vietnam and the '60s" history elective, but the quote I was about to pull out ("that bitch of a war") actually wasn't saying what I remembered it saying so v:v:v

Politoons PSA: WNPR Hartford's show "Where We Live" had a show about political cartoons/political funnies today in honor of Bloom County relaunching. Guests include Tom Tomorrow and Bob Englehart (Hartford Courant; my avatar). I know that those aren't exactly the coolest political cartoonist guests imaginable, but, hey, they both live near Hartford. I haven't listened to it yet, but I'm a fan of the host, John Dankosky, so it should be a decent listen.

It's available for streaming on WNPR's website: http://wnpr.org/post/world-through-eyes-political-cartoonists
