Notes"SOME CLASSIC ROCKY - HuffPost’s Hayley Miller got a dose of Jay Rockefeller today, the rare senator who doesn’t have a spot opinion about everything. On a transaction tax: “Lot of things that are up right now and we’ve sort of just got back,” he said, “so I’d rather say I can’t answer you than try to answer you and realize I made a huge mistake ‘cause I was trying to save my pride."Good for Rocky.

Notes
This graph shows the change in Americans’ attitudes toward interracial marriage over time. Was anyone else shocked by just how unpopular it was in 1958? I would have guessed more like 10 percent.
