Makes one wonder what RFK would think about his son's devolvement into a conspiracy theory spouting hateful nutjob. How sad.

I hereby assert my right to refuse service for non-Pagan heterosexual obnoxious white people. See you in court, Karen.

We made it through 1968 by mobilizing on the streets and voting. We will do so again. Watch for opportunities to register people to vote this fall and onward. We can do this.

Thanks, Fitz.

Your words and thoughts never fail us. That everyone should be reminded of these thoughts is good ...but sad in a way that they must be reminded

New bracelets for “Old Testament Christian’s” - they’re so into the “thou shalt nots” in the Ten Commandments instead of the “blessed”Beatitudes

Who would Jesus hate?

Who would Jesus shoot?

Who would Jesus deprecate ? (oops they’ll have to look that one up since they’re so frickin stupid)

What books would Jesus burn?

Dave, Your usual brilliance took on a darker tone with this, a necessary tone. I could say, What Next? But I'd almost rather not know. It's no wonder so many august people are slipping the mortal coil.

I I love you, David! Question . Did you recently design some cards for sale? I got a birthday card from Elizabeth. Frank looks suspiciously like your drawings. I’m 90 now – today, Happy birthday to me!

Hi, Elouise-No, I did not design some cards recently. But they must be delightful if they can be mistaken for my handiwork! :-)

Those businesses that “Refuse to provide service to x,y,z” should be required by law to post clearly for the public to see specifically who they refuse services to. Watch them go out of business quickly.

Plato said it was not just "freedom to" it has to also include "freedom from."

Freedom from ignorance.

Freedom from prejudice.

Freedom from disease.

Freedom from injustice.

And freedom from mythology.

Uncharacteristically serious. Beautiful

Beautiful YES! But David's humor (at least the politically oriented), like all good political humor, is dead serious. Even when it's laugh out loud funny.

Excellent column. It's a very scary time right now.
