In a genuinely post-Civil-War nation, Dennis Draughon’s cartoon wouldn’t be particularly relevant, as we await details of Donald Trump’s indictments and the reaction thereto. But we are currently involved in a Civil War, which makes the removal of Confederate leaders’ names from US military bases relevant overall, and particularly so in the case of General […]
Once again this week, sports takes the lead, as Adam Zyglis (Cagle) spotlights a hero and a zero. Carl Nassib, who is entering his sixth year in the NFL, came out as gay, which caused a great deal of applause, until someone found out he’s also a conservative Republican, at which point they remembered another […]

Of course, nobody said we needed to do away with cattle entirely, but having even said that (A) they produce a lot of methane […]
