Finley Peter Dunne American Author and Humorist 1867 - 1936
Best known for the quote, "Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Dunne wrote satirical "Mr. Dooley" columns that were nationally syndicated. In Mr. Dooley, an opinionated, first-generation, Irish-American bar owner, Dunne created a character who could criticize the nation and its most powerful people. Dunne was an anti-imperialist and bluntly addressed such topics as racism, the Spanish-American war, and the imperialism of the Supreme Court.
