I've been thinking about this story for almost a decade.

Right after the 2016 election, there was a panel with the creative teams behind US TV's biggest political dramas. Veep, Scandal, West Wing, House of Cards, and other shows. All the panelists agreed on one point; if they'd presented a fictional character who said they 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured' the networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be shown to lose the election and be hated by all sides.

I blame the backlash from 9/11. Before 2001, most cops saw themselves as police officers, Afterwards they all became anti-terrorism warriors.

It's not about mocking someone who wears eyeliner, it's about mocking someone who wears eyeliner and pretends they don't.

How is it not your fault?

It's your job to write clearly. If someone makes an honest mistake, it's the fault of the speaker.

Now you're just splitting hairs.

I also talked about how college is cheaper than jail.

We're both talking about the same thing; using expensive punishment instead of cheaper, more humane alternatives.

I once read that he'd been ejected from a Klan group after he'd slept with another member's wife.

He was charged with "conduct unbecoming a racist."
