Oh my God!  Someone said something you don’t like!  Cancel his (or her) show!  Pronounce anathema upon him (or her).  Topple the statues, chisel off the names, enact the machinery of  damnatio memoriae!

Apparently that’s what’s happening as I write to Roseanne Barr, the actress who had the dual temerity to 1) revive her eponymous television show in an intermittently pro-Trump modality and 2) emit a tabasco tweet about the horrible Valerie Jarrett, President Obama’s chief counsellor.

Are you ready? Are you sitting down?  Are the children in another room? Here’s the tweet: “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”

Uh oh.  Was the tweet in bad taste?........
