We’ll warm up this morning with this NYTimes gem that’s been going around social media for the past 24 hours. It’s a reminder once again that reporters don’t write headlines but eejits sometimes do.Much of my work as a reporter was large Sunday business features, and I took to dropping by the paper Saturday to […]
Bagley and Telnaes are rarely this far apart politically, but that’s not the factor here: Bagley posted his cartoon prior to SCOTUS hearing the birthright citizen case, and Telnaes posted hers afterwards.

Let’s start with some technical history, to explain today’s Mother Goose & Grimm (AMS) for readers under 50: Half a century ago, O Best Beloved, cell phones were the size of a shoe and quite expensive.
