Proving the ragged hateful fringes of the country live on, Pennsylvania residents beset by a rash of burglaries woke up to flyers announcing a new neighborhood watch program launched by helpful members of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, who say they are NOT a hate group but a "patriotic white Christian organization...exalting the Caucasian Race and teaching the doctrine of White Supremacy," but this doesn't mean "we are enemies of the colored and mongrel races." In Virginia, meanwhile, residents found "Diversity=White Genocide" messages Sunday in their kids' Easter eggs. Sigh. They were reported as "outraged," so there's that.

Like most of the other thugs of her era, Condoleezza Rice is much in the profitable public eye these days. She just made $150,000 for a speech at the University of Minnesota - part of the  lecture series, “Keeping Faith with a Legacy of Justice,” yet - despite protests, attendees dressed in Gitmo jumpsuits, and a petition signed by 200 faculty, briefly alluding to debate about “things we were involved in" but arguing “we kept the nation safe,” never mind that little incident at the World Trade Center. She's also the new board member of shiny file-sharing startup Dropbox, because as someone who supported the Patriot Act, illegal wiretaps and torture and lied about all of it, who better to trust with our online privacy? A Drop Dropbox boycott campaign is up and running.

Changing Times Chap. 632: Spring brings baseball brings renewed visibility to racist names - Braves, Indians, Chief Wahoo - increasingly deemed unacceptable in polite society. Recently, both the Navajo Nation and U.N. joined the fight against "Redskins," Texas schools changed four team names, and a study found national teams with offensive names lose millions a year in revenue. Also, this happened: At Opening Day for the Cleveland Indians, a gaudy painted clueless fan met up with the 1,000-yard stare of Chiricahua Apache Robert Roche, leading the annual protest against the Indians' grotesque mascot “Chief Wahoo.” Has any photo better captured why this is not okay?
