True? Probably. Funny? Heck, no! RUFKM? This is the Friday
Funnies! Why blow a perfect record?
More comments, please! They're the entertainment I count on each
week!
I am offended by this gratuitous attack on my religion:
Obamaism.
I pray to Obama. I pray that Dear Leader will keep the world ice
cold and that he will put a Chevy in every pot. I smoke (although I
call it 'Love Sucking')because my Lord and Saviour demands it and
it makes me feel closer to Him.
Prayer changes things.

How you doin?
The two tobacco lobbyists (or whoever they may be) appear to be
trudging through heaps of bullshit piled nearly to the
windowsills.
I nearly died laughing.
I actually think the color is the one clever element here. You
have the grim and dour puritans of prohibition drawn in black and
white and the real person (I still give Obama the benefit of the
doubt on that one) in color, showing the contrast between the
prohibitionist schemes and ideas and the reality of their targets.
Since I picked up on that fairly quickly, I'm hoping that Henry
Payne intended it and didn't merely stumble upon it.
In some ways I think this is one of the more clever Friday Funnies
in a while. Is it funny? Not really. But it is mildly amusing and
thought-provoking with the idea of prohibition peddlers who think
that the president of the U.S. smokes because of ads an needs to be
coddled like a school child. It gets pretty close to their mindset
that sees the public as mindless drones at the mercies of devious
advertisements (themselves excepted, of course). In that respect,
it might annoy someone who sees prohibitionists as just in it For
The Children™ and, if they ask why they are annoyed, it might make
them think (heaven forfend!) about it.
So this one I give passing marks to. It's at least amusing (and
thus passes the Marmaduke and Cathy tests) and has some substance
outside the amusement factor.
In the absense of a Morning Links thread, I'll note that
it's now official:
In a revamped health care system envisioned by senators, people would be required to carry health insurance just like motorists must get auto coverage now.
Well, except that you can get out of the auto insurance requirement by not driving a car.
The government would provide subsidies for the poor and many middle-class families, but those who still refuse to sign up would face fines of more than $1,000.
The details were unveiled Thursday in a health care overhaul bill supported by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama's top domestic priority.
At their heart, all the bills would require insurance companies to sell coverage to any applicant, without charging higher premiums for pre-existing medical conditions.
Another difference from auto insurance: if you have 7 DWIs on your record, very few insurance companies are going to take you on.
At their heart, all the bills would require insurance
companies to sell coverage to any applicant, without charging
higher premiums for pre-existing medical conditions.
From each, according to his ability, to each, according to his
needs.
The government would provide subsidies for the poor and many
middle-class families, but those who still refuse to sign up would
face fines of more than $1,000.
And here I was gonna celebrate Independence Day tomorrow, the
Fourth of July. I don't think there's a goddamned thing to
celebrate anymore. What a bunch of miserable, bloodsucking bastards
we have in DC. Damn them!
Tricky, check your linky.
The personal habits of Prohibitionists are irrelevant to the
ethical and practitcal failures of Prohibition.
I'm humorless as a radical feminist today.
...but those who still refuse to sign up would face fines of
more than $1,000.
I thought Obama Bin Lyin wasn't gonna raise taxes on the middle and
lower classes? Sure reads like a tax to me.
Terrible. Friday Funnies are a special kind of hell, for which I either applaud or curse reason for inflicting them upon us. It's sort of an acquired taste. But at least there hasn't been any Bok recently.
"Any comment on the Lori Drew verdict getting set aside?"
She's a worthless piece of dog shit.
'[Lori Drew is] a worthless piece of dog shit.'
One might say the same about Ernesto
Miranda, who took a young woman off the street, drove her into
the desert, and raped her. Does this mean the police should not
have warned Miranda of his legal rights? Similarly, does Drew's
badness mean that it's OK to twist the law in any way considered
necessary in order to "get" her?
Maybe it's just me, but I can't see the humor in the cartoon. I'm sure everyone else thinks this is the most hilarious thing they've ever seen, but I'm just yawning.
Hey Popeye!
"Any comment on the Lori Drew verdict getting set aside?"

Wait, I like FOX and I thought you were talking of Lori Dew. Sorry,
never mind.
"Similarly, does Drew's badness mean that it's OK to twist the
law in any way considered necessary in order to "get" her?"
I wasn't addressing the law. I care not what "happens" to her. Just
a simple observation.
Like the sound of a dream.
The splendour
of the laughing
clouds appears
in the calm
of a quietness,
with delicate
breaths and a
restless seaside.
