My Place in History:
According to the Genealogy Radio Show presenter, genealogist Lorna Moloney, Megan Markle is connected to Galway native Mary McCague, who was born to William McCague and Brigid Galaher in October, 1829.
Publishing the details on Irish Clans and Surnames, Moloney believes that McCague moved overseas with her husband Thomas Bird and raised her children for a spell in Malta.
Researchers got this information from her daughter Hattie Bird's marriage records in Massachusetts. Hattie Bird was a sister to Mary Bird - the direct ancestor of Meghan Markle.
Hattie was born in 1866 on the Island of Malta to Thomas Bird and Mary McCague.
McCague is actually a surname which is derived from Irish kings, according to Adrian Martyn, en expert and writer on Galway tribes, who researched the McCague surname.
According to Adrian, the surname McCague derives from MacThaidhg or Mac Thaidhg, meaning "son of Tadhg".
Now widespread as a surname in the province of Ulster, Tadhg was the brother of Connor O'Conor, King of Connacht.
Kings. And Markle has ended up where she--and all the McCague descendants--should be.
Art:
One of the signals of decline is when art neither celebrates nor teaches.
In 2011, a lifelike German sculpture depicting a policewoman squatting and urinating — even the puddle is sculpted — received an award from a prestigious German foundation, the Leinemann Foundation for Fine Art.
In 2013, the Orange County Museum of Art in California placed a huge 28-foot sculpture of a dog outside the museum, where it periodically urinates a yellow fluid onto a museum wall.
In 2016, one of the most prestigious art museums in the world, the Guggenheim in New York, featured a pure-gold working toilet bowl, which visitors were invited to use. The name of the exhibit was “America” — so one could literally relieve oneself on America.
The Philadelphia Orchestra recently featured the premiere of Philadelphia Voices. In the fifth movement, titled “My House Is Full of Black People,” the black teen narrator chants the following lines: “The county is full of black people/ All wanting to be heard/ While old white men draw lines on maps/ To shut all of them up.” Later in the movement, he yells, “If you would all just f—ing listen!”
EVs:
From a biased American Petroleum Institute report that created the spin but not the numbers:
The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that two-thirds of households that buy EVs have annual income in excess of $100,000, nearly twice the nationwide average (see chart above). The result is the tax credit becomes a subsidy for the rich. Households in this income bracket also are more likely to have multiple vehicles, so the EV serves a niche of their transportation needs and is a luxury. The obvious question, then, is whether U.S. taxpayers should be subsidizing the affluent.
