I don’t suppose the freeze on federal wages is more than a token gesture, but token gestures matter in a national emergency.

Universal Uclick editor John Glynn offers a serious but mostly not-so serious interview with Foxtrot creator Bill Amend regarding his newly released collection “The Best of FoxTrot” Did you ever consider letting newspapers run reruns of the dailies?
