I mean, the US Constitution protects the right of republican draft dodgers to dry hump the flag, but it is still DISRESPECTFUL & DEPLORABLE.

Really fabulous experience!

Nicky Hollander was a presenter at the same Women's Week. I purchased an autographed copy of 1 of her comic-strip books.

As you can see, the Week was fabulously well-planned.

along with the likes of Mike Royko, Studs Terkel, Will Rogers, Frank Zappa, Jimmy Breslin, George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Robin Williams, hell that list could keep on going.

I would love to hear their take on what's happening today.
