Dr. Seuss Monetizes the Culture Wars
On March 2 — the late Theodor Seuss Geisel’s 117th birthday — Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced that, some time last year, it ceased publishing/licensing six of the popular author’s children’s books which “portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.” Cue woke approval, deplorable outrage, investor interest, and low-information reader fear, all of which are good for business.
The Government Has Botched the Vaccine Rollout at Every Step

Biden’s Foreign Policy: No Joy in Mudville
