LOL!

Even though Bucky isn't the best face for the Republican Party, I'm glad that the dumb, well-meaning dog is (apparently) a Democrat.

I can only speak for the first three Get Fuzzy compilations, but political humor is never heavy-handed.

I hate it when a comic decides to go rabidly political (unless it was to begin with, like Day By Day ) and ruins itself.  I hope Get Fuzzy has stayed light on the subject.

Day by Day gets old after a while, too. It's kind of like an updated Doonesbury with scantily-clad Barbie-doll females. It was intriguing at first, but I'm considering de-linking it from my blog site.  Even my favorite Bloom County dabbled in it from time to time, but they managed to get most of their laughs sans the political satire.  undecided

I thought Bloom County's political satire was incredible.

For example...

Classic Bloom County. Brings back a lot of memories.  smiley

Oh, I've got the Liberal Hunting strip in color over my reloading bench.  So, yeah, when they did political satire, it was great, but they didn't make it their bread and butter.

That is why I love Calvin and Hobbes and The Far Side.

Just a boy and his stuffed tiger getting into mischief.  Reminds me of me at that stage of life now. cheesy

And someone with just a twisted sense of humor.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Depends.

If you like solar panels and stuff because you hate paying money to "the man" or "the Arabs" to heat your home and you think of it as an avenue for American inventiveness and knowhow, then you're fine.

If, however, you like solar panels and stuff because you're trying desperately to offset your carbon footprint and hate man's continuous exploitation of Mother Earth, then you're a liberal weenie.

OK, what if one's motivation for putting up solar panels on the home is BOTH Mike?

That means you're an abomination to both causes and you are to be cast out as unclean.

Good, then I'm normal.

I've become fairly convinced that global warming is not man made, if it exists at all.  But I agree that less pollution is better.  I just don't agree with all the nutty ways of cutting back on it like some of the extremists think.
But my main reason for going green is saving money. Evil
