    “Mallard Fillmore” was the main character in a right-wing political cartoon series. Obviously, the title was taken from the name of the 13th president.

    “President” Fillmore, a proto-Trumpist, claimed on the one hand that slavery was evil. On the other hand he opined that the government had no say over the “peculiar institution.” (It was up to the states, a trope so familiar presently.) Fillmore also pressed for and signed the “Compromise of 1850” bill which, among other things, reinforced the Fugitive Slave Law (one of the things which brought about the Civil War) and permitted the spread of slavery in any newly formed states. “Mallard Fillmore” was achingly right-wing and as prejudiced against social and political realities as the work of Gorrell, Bok, or Summers, for example. I don’t think it’s published at the present time. If not, good riddance.

    Duck Equity and Inclusion? It’s no surprise that Texas, Florida and Alabama are trying to go back to “the good ol’ days.” But the old ways excluded too many people. That’s why we have DEI laws now.

    There is a great Willie Nelson joke about a duck, a bartender, and grapes…
