Sticker bearing 'I voted' (and the equivalent in a score other languages) on a shirt's breast pocket. A lot of hair can be seen at the top

A lot of people in this thread are being charitable to Ms. Jenkins, suggesting she is simply underinformed or naïve, rather than a propagandist attempting to launder Kirk's image with platitudes.

Michael Brooks would have turned 42 today. Here he is flawlessly explaining why the Israel Palestine situation is not complicated. Why it's not even asymmetrical warfare, but an occupation.

Rest in peace Michael. You were the best of us.
