In 2002, TIME Magazine recounted a moment in 1974 when a committee chairman in the Arizona Senate got angry with then Sen. Sandra Day O'Connor. "Said he to O'Connor: 'If you were a man, I'd punch you in the mouth.' Snapped (O'Connor) right back: 'If you were a man, you could.'"

@nypost It is wrong when the left cancels people and wrong when the right does it. And the right needs to speak up now and say so. She wasn't threatening anyone. She was passionate and emphatic, making an argument by analogy. She should not have lost her job. This madness needs to stop.

Now Castro has just delivered the decisive brief for why anonymous speech is essential -- because even a U.S. congressman is not beneath weaponizing an opponent's political donations.

Henry Winkler was as lucky as his character the Fonz was cool. Years before he become Fonzie, Winkler's parents were German Jews in Nazi Germany.
