2. The ADL defines cartoonist Matt Furie's Pepe The Frog as a hate symbol when it's contextually used that way, and it is being used that way.

3. Koyama Press will celebrate its first double-digit birthday in style.

Winner Of The Week

Losers Of The Week
Those idiots appropriating somebody's imagery for political use. Why people think they have a right to things because they want them is some sort of weird developmental hate bomb that was detonated in kids' playrooms across the land in the 1980s and 1990s.

Quote Of The Week
