I saw you this morning as you were getting your paper, gazing wistfully at that flagpole bracket like it broke your heart in junior year. You want to hang an American flag. It’s summer. Citronella. Popsicles. It’s natural to feel the tug of the stars and stripes.
But what if Craig Doherty—that lawyer for the ACLU who just moved next door—sees it while he’s walking his dog and thinks you’re a Fox News-er? Or that you’ll be yelling about Soros at block parties, or prefacing everything with “As a taxpayer…”?
I’m here to help you.
But first, I gotta bust your chops a little. You liberals made a huge strategic error when you abandoned the flag to the NRA and Facebook “Jesus moms.” Tactically naive, Bob. Symbolic real estate matters.

On 15 April 1989, I walked into Hillsborough Stadium as a hopeful 16-year-old, excited to watch my beloved Liverpool FC in an FA Cup semi-final. Like thousands of others, I never imagined I was walking into one of the worst disasters in British history. The events of that day led to the deaths of 97 […]

As the country’s most recommended brand-name plaque psoriasis treatment,1 Skyrizi takes any claim of increased irritation due to exposure to our patented, extensive, and deeply trialed2 award-winning advertising3 very seriously.
In addition to increased risk of heart disease, kidney failure, shortness of breath, nocturnal urges, brain worms, rectal polyps and homicidal emissions, Skyrizi has recently added loss of patience, debilitating annoyance, eye gagging, ear strain, brain farts, and phantom-remote syndrome to our list of possible4 side effects.5 However, Skyrizi does not believe this commitment to transparency and openness should be seen as further evidence to avoid our product, but rather as an indicator of Skyrizi’s high moral character and genial, benevolent nature.
