1. humor used ta be the BEST weapon against totalitarianism (as ya noted, the so-called SJW (should be worriers, not warriors tho...) are humorless... in-tolerable fools... now the jokers stand before us (includin' in the oval orrifice) an' we ain't supposed to laugh (clown-laugh)?

2. Charlie Hebdo was a hoot--used ta be called Le Crapouillot which was EVEN funnier and it took NO prisoners...everyone got skewered--all such satire wuz silenced...massa-creed lit'rally... and the loss was more dear than' most know...

3. Hitchens wuz a brilliant feller... who else today kin so eloquently expose a twit?
