Prickly City (AMS) has been looking askance at the GOP lately, which would be unremarkable if the strip weren’t a conservative outlet or if we were living in a normal world. However, we’re in a world in which “conservative” seems increasingly to mean going along with the party line. Moving your lips while you cling […]
An odd piece today from Prickly City (AMS), where the meaning of Labor Day, and of holidays, has apparently disappeared entirely. Well, perhaps not so odd, given that we’ve largely stopped honoring holidays in this country. We’ve not only got fewer holidays than many other countries, but we only take a handful of them as […]
