Today’s quiz comes with irony (check out definition 3(a).

Now, what do you think? Weigh in, and feel free to use irony.

It's absurd that any flag should be lowered to "honor" a scumbag such as Helms. Half a million Americans didn't die fighting Hitler, just so we could salute fascist principles on our own soil.
ReplyDeleteHelms was principled. He took a lot of risk by often standing against popular opinion and his own party.
ReplyDeleteThis clown who worked for the Dept of Agriculture wasn't risking anything since he was already eligible for retirement.
