      Hell yes - these kids nowadays need to experience real fake news - not whatever these weirdos have been crowing about.

      And hopefully Red Meat comics.

        I picked up a free copy on Montague in Brooklyn back in '04. In the back was an ad for embroidered towels, except instead of His and Hers they said Face and Ass.

        I have blessedly few regrets in life. Not ordering a matching set of Face and Ass towels from a sketchy ad in the back of the Onion is one of them

    I hope they get placed around town in Madison again. But I suspect that’s not going to be part of the deal.
