Wednesday Reads: Being ladylike does not require silence…

“Being ladylike does not require silence,” Betty Ford told the audience at the Greater Cleveland Congress of International Women’s Year.
I don’t know about you, but I need to take a break from everything…so before we get to the cartoons, I will post some empowering messages.
And a few messages that scream, don’t stay silent!
AAEC News: A Statement from the AAEC Board on Rob Rogers and the Post-Gazette
The longtime cartoonist for The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has gone missing. Actually, we know exactly where Rob Rogers is—at his desk creating the excellent award-winning editorial cartoons he is famous for. But it’s those cartoons that have been missing for over a week from the Post-Gazette editorial pages, though we know Rob is drawing them because new cartoons are being posted on the web.
It doesn’t take much to connect the dots between the absence of Rob’s left-leaning cartoons and the recent arrival of a Trump-supporting editorial page editor. We would take this opportunity to remind all editorial page editors that their responsibility is to the readers (among whom in Pittsburgh, Rogers cartoons are wildly popular) and to the open and ongoing search for truth in contending opinions. The editorial pages are a public forum, not a members-only private resort in Florida.

Excellent picks, all. And the cartoons are all good gallows humor … but I can’t even laugh. The gallows are just too big.
Sending you a large virtual medal for finding the cartoons in all that grimness! <<>>
I love all the “don’t be silent” posters.
Really excellent cartoon selection today, JJ. I also like the “don’t be silent” graphics.
This is not news to us. Glad the MSM is catching up … about 2 yrs too late.
Smack! *giggle*
I don’t know what is going on on today. But it is shitty here at home. Y’all have a good one.
Sorry. I don’t think-no, I know-I haven’t been the same since November.2016
Me neither. Cyber hugs all around.
Right back at you, doll
Aaaaaaargggggh! I didn’t think I could ever be speechless at yet another Drumpf stupidity, as they’re all worse than the last, but you absolutely can’t make this shit up.
Apparently the latest is that the Dump’s admin at some ceremony celebrating close ties between Germany and the US used as an example of how they’ve always worked together … D-Day.
No words. Just no words.
Just another way to make $$$ off gun violence.
