48. That is the finest reporting that I've ever seen, and I'm in my 60's.

I look forward to the cartoons that Tom Tomorrow draws and Tomorrow is the best of the kind.

Cartoons like that look back at the absurdity that we've invited upon ourselves. For example doing things like substituting for the look-back that the current US admin said wasn't on the table, when it declared that it was looking "forward".

Thank the great koot humooni that we have a sense of humor and wicked humorists to relieve the pressure of being aware.

There's nothing funny about Moyers' reporting. Moyers' reporting *has to be* a call to action, it *has to* connect with a sense other than the funny bone, to a sense connected to action, to an understanding that the only acceptable response is to work actively, kinetically, to stop these beasts who live in dollars and lies and slime.
