I know it’s trivial, but taking off my shoes was a PITA. For quite a while, I wore tennis shoes with no metal in them, but eventually I had to take them off regardless.
As I reflect on the national hubris that wrought such death and destruction, I am struck by how badly Americans squandered the opportunity that had emerged from the ashes of 9/11. The world had rallied around us in the aftermath of that horrible day, and we had a choice to either work with the world to resolve the problems manifested by the actions of the terrorists who had attacked us, or to squander this opportunity by insisting that 9/11 was all about us, the rest of the world be damned. We chose the latter. - Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector and retired Marines intelligence officer

I don’t always agree with Ted, and I’m not saying I agree with him here, but he will boldly go where no other cartoonists will go.

BLM, ANTIFA, and CRT do the violence for me. I can count on Ted never to write a word about it. Bias is so good.

OK. But stinky feet is a whole other category, surely?
