Throwback Thursday: My Denture Adventure...
“It's so uncool to be woke.”
— President Donald J. Trump
Looking back on it, I’m surprised that today’s 5 a.m. Story rerun didn’t get me arrested for being excessively woke when it first appeared, one year ago.
I mean, the story takes a hard look at the cartoons we grew up with, pointing out their frequent insensitivity to stammers, lisps and other speech disorders.
It also questions inconsistent attitudes toward weaponry, asking why they’ve taken away Elmer Fudd’s gun, but given him a deadly scythe, instead. And what’s up with the dynamite, catapults, falling anvils and other deadly gismos?
Speaking of being woke, how out-of-place is Pepé Le Pew in today’s “me too” culture?
Could it possibly be that nobody in the Trump administration reads my 5 a.m. Stories? That really hurts!
Maybe they’ll notice it this time around. Please enjoy That’s Easy For You to Say, from July 2025.
