Is Bok trying to tell us that he's finally following our advice to get out of cartooning and into real estate?

I could watch it in a NASCAR like state of mind, you know on the possibility that the royal coach will blow a tire, spin out of control and burst into flames.

While I agree I don't think the Founders had in mind these kinds of questions from census takers, and certainly not in the destructive aftermath of a tornado, I consider this cartoon's social commentary a case of both TOO LATE and TOO SOON.

Maybe it is just me, but this seems to be a bit in bad taste given the tornados and the loss of life and human suffering that is going on.
Sure, it makes a point. But if it was your son or daughter that was just killed by a natural disaster, how would you feel about this "lighthearted fun"?
I'm pretty disappointed. You can do better.

You are familiar with the Friday Funnies aren't you?
Also, you should have said that you were concerned ...
rather|4.29.11 @ 7:56AM|#
if it was your son or daughter that was just killed by a natural disaster
If so, I doubt you would come to H&R for compassion
|4.29.11 @ 8:05AM|#
If the cops shot my dog, H&R is the first place I'd go to for compassion (& firearms advice).
rather|4.29.11 @ 8:11AM|#
True, if the cops shot your dog, I'd be sad for you too but I am certain one of these assholes would say somthing about the carcass of your dead dog

It was a reference to what Sugarfree said about my dog but it involved so much more. Do you have anything to say now?

Oh, oh, I totally get it now.
Home prices are FALLING! Falling, get it? Maybe falling ON people!
And get this, the poll taker is so heartless that rather than making some attempt to help these poor fellows trapped underneath a house he goes on and heatlessly asks his question!
And the question is, ironically, about economic confidence which is impacted by home prices!
I totally get it, holy crap that is well crafted!

...AND a tearful Gabby Giffords being carried by a tearful Superman OVER the tearful Statue of Liberty toward a tearful sun setting behind a tearful Japan (setting, not rising = ironic), with a tearful 911 Fireman and tearful 911 Policeman kneeling at the foot of a tearful Lincoln Memorial while holding a dead dog shot by the DC SWATzis.
Also, the dog was crying before it was shot.

Is this Bok's way of dropping hints he has several dead bodies buried in the crawlspace under his house?
Bok is a serial killer, and the Friday Funnies are his hints to the cops. It's much more interesting (and funnier) if you think about it that way.

Isn't the result of the most recent consumer confidence poll higher than it was before?
Fatty Bolger|4.29.11 @ 9:19AM|#
No.
Rasmussen Consumer Index
The Rasmussen Investor Index dipped three points today to 83.3. Investor confidence is down a point from last week, down 10 points from a month ago and down 11 points from three months ago.
Only 23% of Adult Consumers say the U.S. economy is getting better these days, while 57% say it's getting worse. Among investors, 27% feel economic conditions in the country are improving but a majority (54%) disagree.
Fatty Bolger|4.29.11 @ 9:20AM|#
Sorry, missed this part:
The Rasmussen Consumer Index, which measures the economic confidence of consumers on a daily basis, held steady on Friday at 75.6. Consumer confidence is down less than a point from a week ago, down one point from a month ago and is down seven points from three months ago.

"Oh, yeah? Where's your driver's license?"
Mo|4.29.11 @ 9:46AM|#
The gains came as the mood among U.S. consumers turned slightly sunnier in April, as more expect their incomes to rise in the near future, according to the Conference Board. The private research group said its index of consumer confidence increased to 65.4 in April, up from a revised 63.8 in March. Weighing on the downside, the Richmond Fed reported sharply weaker manufacturing activity.
The street cares about the Conference Board's consumer confidence numbers.

It's springtime, Bok. The tree the house fell on should have some leaves by now.

Not if it happened in Minneapolis.
|4.29.11 @ 11:04AM|#
True, I suppose.
Based on the length of the peoples' legs, they would be nearly as tall as the second story windows. Now, I'm no architect, but who would want to live in a house that far out of proportion with their body? It's like a house full of midgets appointing their house with furniture designed by Karl Farbman.

If you grew up like I do using a romantic eyesight of what my wedding party ought to be like, then no make any difference how quite a few issues there are to request yourself, you're positive of a single thing, it requirements being perfect. these days not everybody seems as worried about discovering the great Wedding Dresses, but for the vast majority of us - deep within - it actually does matter.
As quickly when you start preparing or even the large day, deciding on your wedding party attire gets an urgent require for most brides. Nobody would like to wait. even though dealing with wedding party strain and preparations, be positive to enable your self a lot of time to attempt on completely different designs and discover the a single who says "you".
The theme of your wedding party would be an significant place when choosing that unique dress. have you been obtaining married for the beach? If so, you may pick a gentle airy style. Have you made the decision on the formal affair? Then by all means, go all out and put on a light attire covered in silk and lace. what ever kind of celebration your wedding party will be, your attire will perform among the most significant roles in it!With the cost of weddings, some couples attempt and minimize back again by creating their personal flowers, or purchase some wedding dress in a specialized dress shop at a high price, but why don't you try to buy a cheap wedding dresse online directly. Where you can also purchase your ideal wedding dress and some new fashions. whatever style, colour or cost variety you sooner or later choose on when deciding on your wedding party dress, don't neglect that it's you your fiancé fell in adore with, not your dress. The attire adds towards ambiance from the day, however it isn't the genuine centerpiece.
After you have selected your wedding party attire hang it inside bag it arrives in and don't display it to everybody. Give company a thing to start looking forward to once they see you for your initial time walking along the aisle. And unless it is really unavoidable, don't allow your potential husband see your attire whatsoever prior to the wedding. They say it's poor luck as well as if that's merely a superstition, it definitely does spoil his surprise!
