The Nixon / Agnew button is priceless.

Holy. Fuck. This. Is. It. Simply. Brilliant.

He only looks that way because his glove is shoved up his ass, just so to keep his common sense from raising that black glove, on a clenched fist, raise it high into the air, and demand real equal rights for all, like a fucking human being would. I will never understand the level of weird brain chemistry necessary to say to yourself, "this is a perfectly reasonable, compassionate human being," instead of incessantly shouting to everyone and anything within earshot, "what an asshole!" over and over and over, again.

Ah, I love your work usually, Driftglass, but i just wanted to point out that the third athlete on the podium that day was an Australian who paid a high price for his support of the other two athletes. And the great thing is that he never regretted it. Paul Ryan's face superimposed sullies this good man's memory. PS still love your work.

Hey Drifty, could you make the background the surface of the moon?

Paul's never not said he's been to our orbiting satellite.

What Mal Wood said, double. Smith and Carlos carried Norman's coffin and honored him as a soldier of the civil rights movement. He deserves at least an asterisk.
