Jack Paar would regularly have Mort Sahl and many other topical comedians on. Can you imagine JFK going after Vaughn Meader? Why not? Because he was a mature, secure, balanced, educated individual.

You Captured the entirety of trump's cruelty ... reflecting that this is an extremely demented and damaged human being ... his presence in that seat reflects the villainous America or the 70 million of those who consider him their leader. Are they like him? ... well, they voted for him so yeah, they are. Not buying that phony Kirk Kumbaya Klan mantra from the cult; besides we must continue being the disloyal opposition.

I wouldn't watch it if it was the only thing left on tv.

BTW - your name now warrants an exclamation point after it OhMan!

I am letting the morons at corporate Disney, Sinclair and Nexstar know they have lost me, my family and friends. We do not need them as we have many other sources for news and entertainment- PBS, Substack, the library, foreign media… Tonight the TV is off, so many things to read and think about.

Fear is stalking us all. I wonder if they are going to eventually come after all of us? At least we will be in good company when it happens.

Our country is rich in tales of fight backs—like the McCarthy black lists and hearings. (Like one song went, “If your mommy is a Commie, then you’ve got to turn her in.) We need to see more play-backs and references to those fights and wins.

Thanks, J.O.

I miss both of those as well, in equal but different ways. And may I suggest one more Jack who was not a small influence on culture and counterculture and a lasting thread for those of Literate pursuit: Jack Kerouac.

Best... /g
