...tronic eye." But due to his fierce opposition to the Iraq war, Byrd at 85 has become an Internet icon with a rash of young and liberal admirers, which is ironic given that Byrd fought civil rights in the '60s and, as is often noted, briefly joined the Ku Klux Klan. Once known as a hawk ("I was the last man out of Vietnam," he says), Byrd has become the Senate's new Paul Wellstone...
...appalling that an extraordinary institution like Harvard would accept money from an individual who does not condemn outrageously slanderous speech and libelous writings promulgated by those representing institutions that he founded and can control. Harvard would never accept money from an individual who has connections with the Ku Klux Klan or other racist organizations that demean women or homosexuals.

And that's just the first half. In Act Two Jerry goes to hell to counsel the ultimate dysfunctional family - Satan, Jesus and God - and is forced to confront his own role in people's lives. "We end with...
...major mistake to define it to terms of black and white. Guns can kill and be wielded by anyone, and they need to be more strictly regulated to protect everyone, not any specific minority. Gun advocates comparing the suit’s tactics to those of the Ku Klux Klan are clearly off base, but the NAACP has opened itself to such criticism by conflating the issues of gun control and race. By putting forth its suit on these terms, the NAACP has distracted from the real issues surrounding gun control, and that is indeed regrettable...
