        Yes, #DickGregory got a little kooky with conspiracy theories late in life, but was so trenchant at height of his career.

        The same news organization who made this can't see why someone like PewDiePie would use ironic humor in Nazi jokes. k.

        At that same diner Gregory ordered fried chicken. "I'm going to do to you whatever you do to that chicken!" Gregory kissed it.

        WH issued a statement tonight on Jerry Lewis' passing, calling him "one of our greatest entertainers." No similar statement for Dick Gregory

        The #NYTimes obituary of #DickGregory is a brilliant rendition of his life and career. It's a must-read.
