Will wonders never cease...
« on: August 16, 2009, 11:48:43 AM »
Sunday's Doonesbury cartoon by Gary Trudeau seems to mock President Obama.  I thought for a moment I was in an alternate universe. :O

[Steve Allen voice] Mock! Mock! [/Steve Allen voice]

So it looks as if His Holiness the Enlightened One is not micromanaging the affairs of state - 'cause he's too busy trying to run a car company?

It's too bad that Treudeau has at times in the past skewered the Dem/Lib side as a setup for whacking the Conservatives.  If I followed the cartoon I'd wait to see what happens.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Thank you Gewehr, Secretary of Necessary Images.  My grandson was not around to imbue me with the ability to attach links.  I am old and untalented, possessor of vast quantities of information with little ability to organize and completely display same. :angel:

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Though I rarely bother to look at that strip - especially when it's in the Minneapolis Tribune - I caught ti yesterday at my son's house. I was shocked!

Trudeau mocking "The One"? Unpossible!

His Wonderfullness must really be doing poorly to be mocked by the hard-core leftists.
