Jews on the same side as the J6 guy in the Camp Auschwitz sweatshirt say the darnedest things.
This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.

Got the date wrong of course: it’s 12/16-12/21. You would have been so early!

It's remarkable how not ever having been President has aged me.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday, guys & gals. My family gave me the two heaviest books in America. They know me so well…

In just a few days, you can see SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES on various large screens around the world. I’d recommend it, if only for the greatness. And the loudness. Plus Junior Mints.
