Big Brouhaha

Big brouhaha this week after Dilbert-creator Scott Adams’ ill-considered remarks got his comic strip banned from many newspapers across the country. And just to prove that I’ve learned a thing or two in my seven decades on this planet, I’ll have no comment other than the following, from Dame Judi,  from my Alma Mater, from Honest Abe, and yes, even from Rush Limbaugh (well, from beyond the grave anyway).

 

Brouhaha - Dame Judi
“One of the benefits of being a
mature well-educated woman is that you’re not afraid of expletives. And you have no fear to put a fool in his
place. That’s the power of language and experience. You can learn a lot from Shakespeare.”  Judi Dench

 

Brouhaha
The University of Chicago Forum for Free Inquiry and Expression will launch this fall, deepening the University’s longstanding commitment to these vital elements of its culture.

 

Possibly apocryphal, and might have been Mark Twain, but what the heck.

 

If you can’t say something nice….  right Rush? Rush? Oh, no, wait: My bad. RIP & peace out.

 

And finally, with friends like Elon who needs enemies, eh?

Full story is here – NY Times subscription required – sorry.

But as always, leave a comment if you really need to read.

 

Brouhaha - Dilbert
We aim to please.
