A few paces away, I catch up with a man named Ron Saucier and a woman who would only identify herself as Mary. Ron says his problem with Obama is the integrity thing. “He exaggerates too much,” Ron says. “He’s not honest.”

“And he aren’t,” Ron says, nodding with relief.

I thought Tony Blair was a version of Bill Clinton. That would make Obama a simulacrum of a simulacrum. Like a Monkees tribute band.

It’s funny that you mention the UK, actually. To me, Obama seems very much like Blair: basically a centre-rightist at best, who pretended to represent the kind of change people were desperate for, and once empowered, continued to shove the country to the right.

People are not generally leftwing, sadly. They tend to be rather conservative. People want change in the number of dollars that flow into their pockets much more than they want change in others’ lives.

He’s had her traipsing around in her panties/thong these past few days.

Ummm… when has he ever drawn her with more than panties/thong?

The right wing swing in Europe is not universal, but is notable in some respects, but most of the right wing parties in Europe (with the exception of the Mussolini wannabe in Italy) would be accused of been leftist loons in the US. However, the labour party in the UK has traveled so far to the right, that the old Tory party is probably more left wing. Its a sad thing, but they have doomed themselves, people are naturally left wing in my opinion.

Yeah, I heard about the Tories being more liberal than the Tories on a few positions than and was really shocked.

I know the Spaniards went further left since Al Queda some small Moroccan terrorist group blew up those trains. Australia has also gone left because the people were sick of John Howard and his party (which like UK’s Labour has drifted far right of its original intention. And yeah, I know Australia is not in Europe, but I decided to throw it out there).

I think we already covered the total awesome-ness that is Chris Muir’s idea of how spines can move. I’m trying to figure out how she’s almost completely visible behind the other guy. They’re supposedly asleep, so either her right side is bizarrely distended or whatever it is they’re lying on is pitched torwards the viewer somehow. Also, he sleeps with his glasses on and a TV remote glued to his hip.

This strip is actually funnier if you read it backwards. The redhead first realizes the extent to which Chris Muir has been whoring her out, she then smashes herself in the head as hard as possible, killing herself by snapping her own neck like a twig and leaving her head hanging in a grotesquely unnatural position. All while he remains obliviously asleep.

Sadly, no! Many years ago, I dated a bloke whose father was a fireman. His favourite work anecdote involved a large fire at the local sewerage treatment plant: picture the poor fireys trying to wade through burning ‘slurry’ without it pouring into their boots, and you’ll have some idea. Some of the guys couldn’t deal with it, even with the masks and breathers (and throw up in one of those and you’ll know about it). There’s something about aged and mixed effluent, at least when it burns, that really turns the stomach, apparently.

Uh…wha..?

I think Mr. Douglas Watts is still upset because I made a non-condemnatory remark about Ralph Nader on a different thread a few days ago.

I’m thinking about filing a complaint with the dean over at UT law for the Ole Perfessor’s increasingly inappropriate, peeping tom-esque photos displayed at InstaDoofus.

D.N. Nation: I might be of service in that regard. Contact Gavin for details, if interested.

Let’s just say it involved a man, a horse and eventually, a hearse.

Worst palindrome ever.

Well, her hips are lying that way, but her torso is supine.

Her left leg is on top, flexed at the knee and hip. That big bump is her upper thigh, left butt cheek, and hip.

He’s had her traipsing around in her panties/thong these past few days.

How do I know this? I’m a little ashamed to say.

A little offtopic, but can someone explain to me what is going on with the woman in this Day by Day comic?

Is that the largest testicle I’ve ever seen between her legs? Is she pregnant, but with a severely prolapsed uterus? Or is her far leg simply filled with fluid because of elephantiasis?

Good lord! His drawing of women is getting worse day by day (pun intended). It won’t be long until they’re just large blobs.

mikey, I could hunt up the story I saw linked here a few months ago, but … no.

Probably more like years, not months… Enumclaw says, “Just say neigh.”
