I remember reading in an introduction to The Spoon River Anthology about the conflict between the pro-Prohibition Protestants and their friction with the anti-Prohibition Catholics.

More red-white-and-blue eagles, please.

ICE is preparing to deport -- to a country he left when less than a year old -- a "career criminal" with exactly ONE criminal conviction that hasn't been overturned. The overturned conviction is the one for which he wrongfully served over 40 years.

This is in Australia. Here in the US, Exxon-Mobil and their ilk have spent 40 years investing in FUD on the subject of climate change. If they'd put that money into diversifying into renewables, both we and they would be better off by now.

Lawrence Welk was a hipper cat for his own time than Lee Greenwood is today.

Egad.

YOU get a prize...and YOU get a prize...

More seriously, you'd think an opposition party figure in Venezuela would be an ally, as long as we've been saber-rattling against Venezuela. But the enemy isn't Maduro, it's the people who have spent the last X years fleeing him and coming here.

Sigh. Think of how much more nefarious skulduggery they could get up to if they didn't have to expend so much energy stroking his ego.

Not just the Felon in Chief but most if not all of his minions.

Social reactionaries have been using the term "social engineering" for years. Apparently we'd all be living in nuclear families and staying in our assigned racial lanes if not for evil liberals inflicting social chaos top-down.

Let's see if the Crybaby in Chief blows up the Gaza deal out of spite.

Impeach them all.

Because women wouldn't stay single, and racial groups wouldn't mix, and LGBTQ+ people wouldn't come out, really, unless someone MADE them...OK, Jan....

"Social engineering" == "Allowing people to be who they are". You know, women, LGBTQ+, minority communities....

No, it's because city rents are too damn high.

And before that, the National Guard in the streets kept people away. Restaurant business was down even then.

Anyone wonder whether it's not just the same MO but the same people?

They're never ready.

Spread the word.

They're "very well funded."

AI as it currently stands deserves to die. It's just that too much money has been poured into it.

When I was an undergrad at Harvard, many decades ago, the scuttlebutt was that the geographical diversity program was started because the Boston Brahmins who ran the place in the mid-20th C. were alarmed at how many Jews (mostly from New York) were getting in.

To clarify: Hegseth did his undergrad at Princeton. He got his Master's in Public Policy at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.

Princeton.

We entered the era of revisionism when the Smithsonian removed Trump from their display on presidential impeachments.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

"Hi, I'm right here, yoo-hoo."

Yet when the harm is to ALL OF US, none of us has standing to sue.

I grew up reading the New Yorker in the waiting room of my aunt's Manhattan office (she was a physician). I don't remember any political cartoons in it in the 1960s and '70s. Glad to see they're publishing Them Damn Pictures.
