The world came undone in France on Friday last with the horrific, coordinated terror attacks on four different Paris locations with 132 dead and and 349 wounded by the gunfire. And — unsurprisingly — the right-wing media bloviators and the nattering nabobs of negativism purusing the Dumbo presidential nomination spouted nonstop nonsense. Tom Tomorrow (Dan Perkins) captures all of the lunacy in today's 'toon. If this is (fair & balanced) yada yada yada, so be it.
