Brilliant Cartoonist Gahan Wilson Should Be Remembered Forever
At left is a piece by the late Gahan Wilson, whose work, which he produced for more than half a century, could be called morbidly funny.
I actually don’t think there will come a day when the world suddenly realizes that the world’s physicists were right and the climate deniers were wrong. The Earth is not going to self-ignite and burn like a marshmallow that’s fallen into a campfire.
As our planet slowly heats up, the incidence and severity of wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, heat-related deaths, and so forth will increase corresponding.
It’s probable that, long after I’ve left this planet, there will still be the Donald Trumps of the world who have no regard for truth, who are doing their best to convince the planet’s morons that the Earth is actually cooling and that our scientists are woke communists.
I get that this fellow is a conservative and has all manner of charming little platitudes to articulate his political point of view.
When you or I read what Joe Biden said last night (see left), we tend to think: “Of course. Our democracy is indeed in danger, and we need to fight to keep it from being usurped by Trump and his supporters.”
When I came across the meme here, I thought it was a joke. Does somebody seriously believe that there are “anti-ICE rioters” that they’re doing damage to our cities?
Most Americans have their own take on the geography of the South. For me, it’s not completely geographic; it’s partly sociographic. For example, Northern Virginia is about as cosmopolitan a place as you’re going to find in the United States, but it’s at the same latitude as West Virginia, which ranks 45th out of the 50 states in education.
I know lots of wealthy people from prep school, college, and several decades of business consulting, all of whom seemed like decent folks at the time. Yet now, I sometimes wonder how many are Trump donors. It’s upsetting just to think about it.
The Permian Basin is a vast sedimentary basin in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico that is the largest oil and gas-producing region in the United States.
A reader notes: These are war crimes meant to test the amount of public outrage they can get away with.
If I were writing the piece at left, I wouldn’t say, “the system is rigged,” because that implies some clandestine.
In other posts, we’ve looked at the prospects of a massive refusal on the part of America’s top military to follow a manifestly illegal order, like invading Canada.
