In recent news, Dilbert creator Scott Adams had his cartoon cancelled by national newspapers after some shockingly racist comments. Imagine a world where disgraced Dilbert creator Scott Adams is forced to do caricatures at CPAC, one of the few places where his extremist views are still welcome.
We did. We hope you enjoy it.

Speaking of extremism, here is our latest blog post on that very topic:
Normal vs. Crazy: Exhibit 1

In our last post, Normal vs. Crazy, we discussed the growing trend among lawmakers on both sides of the aisle toward extremism—and we ended with a warning to Democrats not to go down the same sordid path Republicans have traveled in recent years. While both sides have a lunatic fringe, the fringe has gone fully mainstream within the Republican Party, and it didn’t take long to find further evidence of the GOP’s slide toward ignominy.

On Presidents’ Day, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, hot off her own recent divorce, took to Twitter to declare that the U.S. should get a “national divorce,” splitting into red and blue states, because she’s “done” with the “sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats” and “the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies” (sic). She went on to describe a plan to tear the country in two and practically disband the federal government, of which she herself is a part, and to which she swore an oath to defend.

Aside from the logistical inanity of the idea, and the fact that it’s been tried before with brutal effects, our old pal Marge proved herself (yet again) to be nothing more than a wholly unserious rabble-rouser—and a dangerous one at that. It’s almost as if supporting conspiracy theories like QAnon, making anti-Semitic and racist comments, and endorsing violence against political opponents just wasn’t cutting it anymore. Her advancing the idea of a “national divorce,” which, rather than one misguided tweet, has turned into a campaign she’s pushed ever since, somehow takes it to a whole new level of crazy. (Any word yet from Sarah Huckabee Sanders on whether this qualifies as “normal”? How about from Kevin McCarthy? No? Shocking.)

Do you want a real example of normal? Or, more accurately, what should be normal? Check out this video clip of Utah Sen. Mitt Romney at a Senate Budget Committee hearing entitled “Climate-Related Economic Risks and Their Costs to the Federal Budget and the Global Economy.” Romney pointed out the need for the U.S. to prioritise investments in innovation and technology to combat the effects of climate change—something many Republicans are loath to even mention by name. He also managed to respectfully oppose feel-good efforts by Democrats that don’t really lower global emissions. Wait…addressing a critical issue?
