In 1957, Tom Lehrer foolishly allowed MAD Magazine to illustrate his lyrics for "The Hunting Song." The art was by George Woodbridge. #TomLehrer
This article from MAD Magazine issue #35 illustrated the lyrics to Tom Lehrer's "The Hunting Song." The illustrations were by George Woodbridge. The lyrics read as follows: "I always will remember 'Twas a year ago November I went out to hunt some deer On a mornin' bright and clear I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow I was in no mood to trifle I took down my trusty rifle And went out to stalk my prey What a haul I made that day I tied them to my fender, and I drove them home somehow Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow The law was very firm, it Took away my permit The worst punishment I ever endured It turned out there was a reason Cows were out of season And one of the hunters wasn't insured People ask me how I do it And I say, "There's nothin' to it You just stand there lookin' cute And when something moves, you shoot!" And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a pure-bred Guernsey cow"

Boom boom! Two judges orders. Both for the right reasons! Both about Abrego Garcia, within minutes of each other. To be clear, this is a litmus test of the legitimate courts vs. an illegitimate executive.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

It’s not enough for Stephen Miller to orchestrate Trump’s deportation agenda.

Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target and round up immigrants.

He’s cashing in on his own cruelty.
