Appeasement, In The Wrong Time


By Baxter

With the uproar over Ted Cruz comparing his Republican colleagues to Nazi appeasers, we cats wonder if anybody noticed that his history was awry. Appeasement didn't happen in the 1940s, as Cruz alleged.

Neville Chamberlain declared "peace in our time" in 1938. Before the end of 1939, England was at war. By 1940, Chamberlain was out of office — and dead.

We're glad to see that Cruz got his money's worth for that fancy Ivy League education of his. Not.
