	Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn't freedom, it is adolescence. "To get your playing more forceful, hit the drums harder." — Keith Moon, May 6, 1967, Melody Maker magazine

And they're missing Tucker Carlson who, in this photo, is trying to tell us something about himself. Hmmm. Not sure what but I'm pretty sure it's an exaggeration or outright lie.

Alexandra Petri at WaPo sometimes hits Borowitz levels of satire, like here in reference to Florida textbooks that whitewashed Rosa Parks. Here are some of my favorites:

Harriet Tubman is considered an inspiring figure by many because she made many trips on foot, often with other people. She specifically led trips from the South to the North, often at night. At night, you can see the stars! It is great to lead trips. She was a hero.

John Brown is regarded by some as a heroic figure. Famously, he went to what is now West Virginia (Wild and Wonderful!). He also grew a luxurious beard. Once, he was very excited to visit a weapons arsenal. We support West Virginia tourism!

Abraham Lincoln was a tall man who did something that was a very important thing to do, and especially at that time. He was president during the Civil War, which was fought from 1861 to 1865 between a group of people whom it was universally agreed would make wonderful, handsome statues and some other people who may have had reasons. He even made a proclamation, probably unnecessarily! He famously went to the same play as John Wilkes Booth, a very talented actor who also loved to exercise his Second Amendment rights! It is nice when actors support the Second Amendment. Too often, woke Hollywood doesn’t.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was born on March 15, 1933. She spent 71 years of her life on the planet at the same time as Ronald Reagan! This was a big achievement. She also famously sat on a bench. We love it when people sit!
