In the New Yorker...

Reminds me. I meant to ask. I read that the Anne Frank Center camp with a list of similarities between Hitler/the Nazis and Trump.
So does this mean if you bring up Hitler and the Nazis in a argument about Trump you DO NOT automatically lose the argument?

I feel like there are one or more words missing from your third sentence (or was "camp" originally "came up"?). Are you saying the AF Center produced such a list?
I think it means that if you're Anne Frank (or a center named after her), you can pretty much do whatever you want when it comes to Godwin's Law.
But it would be interesting to see how many more times Hitler has entered online conversations since November and January. Google and Facebook, get on it! ;D

Yeah, I can't type anymore unless I do it very slowly and use the Columbus method (hunt for something and land on it). Yes, that was supposed to be "came up."

It's a wonder I didn't choke on my lunch reading Calvin Trillin's piece in the Sept. 11 issue. He certainly hasn't lost his touch.
Spoiler alert: I am still laughing over the three rabbis from Kansas wearing red and blue yarmulkes with the University of Kansas Jayhawks logo, and the fake beards "making the Kansas rabbis appear even more rabbinical."
:laugh:

Oh good. I haven't read it yet, but from the headline I feared it was going to be sad.
I suppose I've already bragged about meeting Calvin Trillin. Well, not quite "meeting," but sitting a few feet away at a conference table where he regaled people at my newspaper with tales. This was a few years ago -- he stopped by the paper when he was in town for some other event.
