were it not for the sacrifice of veterans during World War II she just might be plying her trade writing her tirades in Japanese or German.

For some reason I am reminded of a small scene in the Amazon TV Series "Man in the High Castle" (based on the Philip K. Dick novel).

A motorist breaks down on the highway somewhere in America, and a cop comes along and helps him. The cop is wearing a Nazi uniform -- because, you know, the Germans won WWII and took over the eastern half of the US (Japan got the western half). The cop might look a little scary, but he's the nicest guy in the world. Typical "Andy Taylor" sort of police man. Helpful, friendly, fixes the guy's car, makes pleasant small talk, gives the guy a sandwich. It's a beautiful scene about what a wonderful place America is.

Then, something like snow starts falling. But it's summer time. The motorist is confused and says, "What's this?"

The cop just gives him a pleasant, disarming smile and says very simply: "It's Thursday. That's when the state hospital burns the old people and the defectives. Well, have a nice day!"

Oh. Yeah. Germany won WWII.

Big inner city papers reaching out to what’s left of their audience.

Thought the exact same thing, pictured the same scene myself.

Given the way things are going sometimes, I'm not so sure we won WW2.
