This one I need help with. Rusty, why did you give it an LOL?

I have to say that I felt the same. Were those actual women in the basement? If so, were they captives? Then there's the fact that the people on the surface had faces, those in the basement did not. Dolls?

All in all, rather disturbing. Plus, I'm an introvert. Should I be offended?

Of course, it's a cartoon. How much stock should one put in overthinking a cartoon?

That's all.

For now.

This strikes me as an outstanding example of race baiting propaganda. Exactly of the nature to ensure that conflict between the races remains active in our country, and never dies.

With complete disregard of facts or truth, Mr. Bolling reaches into the psyche of the disaffected or delusional, offends anyone who believes in merit as being a primary source of personal accomplishment, thus keeping the flames of hatred stoked in order to provide a source of power for those who wish to exploit those sentiments in certain segments of our population.

Well, that's politics for you. Some things never change. I'm sure the Socialists will enjoy the gist of this one.

I should add that I don't fault Edward, having lived through the years when institutional racism was a real thing I say none of us want that to return. Why don't we just let it die?

Just something I read in a 1440 newsletter. Maybe they meant a breathable oxygen atmosphere? Don't recall.

Astronomers or astronauts (whichever one does this kind of thing) say they've discovered another place in the known universe with oxygen. Yep, you guessed it...at the farthest point from earth on the other side of the universe.

Literally every planet in the solar system (maybe not mercury?) and every galaxy in the universe has oxygen. Am I missing the joke?
