I'm in Washington, D.C. for two cartoon events, one of which was last night. At that function, a reader of my blog told me he loved it but he rarely ever finishes reading it because they're always too long. I agree, so today's blog is going to be short. I talked to my good friend... Continue Reading →

Free Speech Absolutist
To believe Elon Musk cares about free speech would be like believing Donald Trump cares about anyone other than himself. It would be like believing Republicans are patriots, fiscal, pro-life, freedom-lovers, or care about family values. After Twitter banned Donald Trump for inciting a white nationalist terrorist attack to overturn a democratic election and to... Continue Reading →
Oppress My Threats

You don't have a right to... Continue Reading →

Net Neutrality is a set of rules put in place by the Obama administration that prohibit high-speed internet service providers, or I.S.P.s, from stopping or slowing down the delivery of websites. They also prevent the companies from charging customers extra fees for... Continue Reading →
Pucker Up For Free Speech
With freedom of speech being perhaps our strongest guarantee you have to take the good with the bad. While we celebrate Martin Luther King telling us that he had a dream, we have to stomach Ann Coulter vomiting up such filth as "It would be a much better country if women did not vote," and...
