The Tortoise cheated.

That’s not daffy duck.

That’s Qaddafi Duck….

see how con wit works?

Conservative humor is not just oxymoronic with emphasis on the moron; it’s fucking impossible. Conservatism is a philosophy that’s at odds with humor because it’s the sheeplike bleatings of a bunch of twits to stop fucking changing things around them.

I’ve NEVER seen a conservative “zinger” that actually zinged anything. It just looks DUMB. Because conservatives are DUMB. It’s axiomatic.

So while the representation of Obama as Daffy in this is, um, well, not clever or even accurate, the irony of the fact that “It’s mine!” is a good two-word summation of Republican politics gives this cartoon a very self-immolating feel.

wherefore art thou gavin? didn’t you get my many thousands of stalky emails, letters and phone calls begging you to come back? no pressure though.

I was so mad when Obama issued that executive order on day 1 promoting all Muslims on earth to the position of major in the U.S. Army. Mostly, I felt bad for all the Muslims who were already majors, because they got nothing out of it.

Hey, how do you think Qadhafi felt? That order bumped him down from Colonel!

You haven’t read much of Gavin, have you?

Well, I tried for a while, but found him too verbose, too full of in-jokes and too self-indulgent. So (sadly) no, not lately. (Hence the reference to xkcd, which has also suffered from too many in-jokes recently.)

Thatnsk for explaining the Updike reference, but I tend to think puns only work if they operate at more than one level.

But you didn’t say how MANY butterfingered enemies. I need to know how many invitations to send.

I think you have to have the dish handy for when they come around.

Don’t forget that the people who are anti-healthcare also are often pro-death-penalty and very, VERY pro-military. They’e fine with the Incompetent Corrupt Government(tm) in those two cases alone, because War and Death sanctify all things.

The messaging when George W. was in office was that he was a hero, (an alternate reality)

But you didn’t say how MANY butterfingered enemies. I need to know how many invitations to send.

Did you mean Orson Scott Card? Or is this another example of Troofy Humour in that whilst seemingly attempting to make some higher point, falls flat to absolutely everyone except your own addled obsessive and debased mind, even as you post it merrily here and everywhere else? I look forward to your posting that Obama will become “an hero” on Salon.com though next Troofus!

Incidentally, even if it’s it not you pretending to be a Centee Left Grrl too as well too (and remember how we’ve seen you posting from two browser windows at the same time using different proxies to try and hide that both are you, even as far back as 2002 over on Eschaton, but you didn’t get away with it then either), I’d just remind you “both” that, although you like to pretend otherwise, we have all learned what you numpties on the Right have been trying to do since Bill Clinton’s Presidency, and we now know what the Overton Window is too;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window

So whilst the “Obamacare” bill isn’t perfect from a liberal point of view, the idea of liberal health care reform passing at last is the ideal first step towards an even better bill. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the right wing freakshow is that you never stop pushing the window. Today small reform, but tomorrow… free abortions for all! We’ve only just started taking the world back, Troofus!

Also, we’ve learned what Projection is. Feeling a bit like becoming An Hero today yourself are we, Troofus? Well, it’s better than the public record you’ll leave behind if you go on the shooting spree you are itching to start; you’ll just be another Hassan in America’s eyes then! So to quote another internet meme, as you seem to be in the mood for them today; Do It, Faggot! Although in your case, it’s of the unhealthy, repressed conservative kind of faggotry, as the troofus yoofus call it. And if you’d just admit that you smoke so many cigars not because your a manly man, because you really, really want a brown man’s tonker in your mouth, you’d be as liberal and happy as all the rest of us… it’s ok, we’ll forgive you all the hurt you’ve caused over the years, we’re better people than you, as you well know! So just give in to your gay side and come on out into the sunshine that’s started today!

How do we know it’s actually her and not that waskily wabbit in drag, yet again.

OK, here lemme break it down. Bugs, like he does, must have said to the muslamoterrorist, “What’s up, doc?” Hence the reply about “Updock” and to Updike’s book Rabbit, Run, which is mt’s way of saying you better run, rabbit, else you get a scimitar between the ears. You haven’t read much of Gavin, have you?

Oh we spend our days like bright and shiny new dimes.
If we’re ever puzzled by the changing times.
There’s a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill,
And eight is enought to fill our lives with love.

As in, EIGHT is enough, liberals. You got it?! No more, no less. I fucking got mine. Fuck you. Get yours, your own or get fucked. There I said it.
