  1. That Chick from OH   15 years ago

    Good morning, Suki!

    1. Suki   15 years ago

      Hello, how are you?

      1. 8====o   15 years ago

        Is that pronounced "soo-key" or "sucky"?

        1. mrk   15 years ago

          That you Igby?

          1. 8====o   15 years ago

            No, it's Gonzo Dicknose, fuck you very much.

            1. OO=======D   15 years ago

              Fucking lightweight.

              1. 8====o   15 years ago

                I'm white, what can I say?

      2. That Chick from OH   15 years ago

        Fine, thanks! And yourself? Just got home for lunch or I'd have replied sooner. Enjoying a pretty quiet day at the office and looking forward to a fun weekend: Range Safety Officer training tomorrow, then local Single A baseball game Sunday afternoon. Doesn't get much better without sex or music involved!

        1. Suki   15 years ago

          Nice! I am on a business trip. Two more appointments this afternoon, a couple in the morning, then back to my beloved.

  2. affenkopf   15 years ago

    This is mildly funny, can't be a real Friday Funny.

    1. generic Brand   15 years ago

      I almost wish this was a 2 panel comic so that when Obama says "You're welcome..." he can shrug as he breaks the 4th wall, just like a classic 80's sitcom.

  3. Windtell   15 years ago

    I too call plagiarism.

    Way too funny to be a real FF.

  4. Fist of Etiquette   15 years ago

    He inherited what's now in that bucket.

  5. ?   15 years ago

    Is that Charlie Rangel under the tractor?

    1. Suki   15 years ago

      Good morning sunshine 🙂

      For that example, a bus would be more appropriate.

      1. ?   15 years ago

        Shirley Sherrod was using it.

        1. Suki   15 years ago

          They just backed that bus up and put her in the back of it.

          1. Rosa Parks   15 years ago

            Sainthood begins in a bus.

          2. Almanian   15 years ago

            Back of the bus = racist. Driving over Charlie Rangel AND Shirley Sherrod = double racist.

            Well done, little square thing and Suki!

            1. Suki   15 years ago

              At Suki Heavy Industries, we aim to please.

            2. ?   15 years ago

              I appear square to others?

              1. pmains   15 years ago

                If their browser doesn't have a font which supports the ? character, then you're going to appear as a square.

  6. Chris   15 years ago

    Hold on, are you trying to imply that politicians would try to keep sway people by giving them handouts and creating a dependency among the population for those handouts rather than implement policy changes that would make those handouts unnecessary? Surely you jest!

    1. waffles   15 years ago

      don't call me shirley

  7. Drax the Destroyer   15 years ago

    Wait...so Obamacare killed Rachel Corrie? IT MUST BE STOPPED.

    1. Suki   15 years ago

      We can have a Pancake Breakfast to raise awareness.

      1. Drax the Destroyer   15 years ago

        I suppose a flat breakfast would be the appropriate way to raise awareness about a flattened person.

        1. Suki   15 years ago

          We can charge a flat fee.

      2. In Time Of War   15 years ago

        I have a new policy. I refuse to donate money to anyone who uses the phrase "raising awareness".

      3. Father O'Blivion   15 years ago

        We can hold it at my parish, St. Alphonzo's.

        1. Greer   15 years ago

          No margerine there though.

          1. Suki   15 years ago

            Butter only! Fresh, wholesome, genetically modified butter.

            1. The Libertarian Guy   15 years ago

              The poodle bites... the poodle chews it...

  8. MP   15 years ago

    Total misfire here. Bulldozers are used to clean up messes. Should have been a wrecking ball with a structure labeled "Economy".

    1. ?   15 years ago

      Haven't seen the wrecking ball in some time. I believe the cartoonist guild has voted to retire it as a relevant, modern metaphor.

    2. Jason   15 years ago

      Obama thinks he's cleaning up a mess even though he's making a bigger one...

  9. rctl   15 years ago

    Free head for anyone who thinks this is funny!

    1. OO=======D   15 years ago

      Thanks, rectal.

  10. The Ghost of Harry Browne   15 years ago

    "The government is good at one thing...it knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say 'see if it weren't for the government you wouldn't be able to walk.'"

  11. jtuf   15 years ago

    I think it's funny, but I'll decline the free head. TANSTAAFL Folks that give free head to strangers they just met tend to give much more than that in the process.

    1. BakedPenguin   15 years ago

      Now you tell me.

  12. The Libertarian Guy   15 years ago

    The "rich people suck, so we're gonna fuck 'em in the wallet" economic policy doesn't fit the cartoon. The IRS doesn't have bulldozers.

  13. Jim   15 years ago

    In Obama's Euromerica, shouldn't that be "unemployment cheque" instead of check?

    1. The Libertarian Guy   15 years ago

      Eventually, we'll have to adopt "dole queue" into our lexicon.

  14. Steven Handel   15 years ago

    Why are you guys complaining? We get paid not to work! Obama is the man! We can live in this utopia forever and not have to worry about producing anything - just consume and destroy.

    1. Barack Obama   15 years ago

      That's the spirit!

      And that's how My Party will keep power forever... by paying people not to work, thus ensuring their undying loyalty to My Good Works.

      Praise Me.

      1. Franklin Delano Roosevelt   15 years ago

        That was my idea, you plagiarist!

        1. The Libertarian Guy   15 years ago

          Always knew FDR hated Negroes.

  15. sage   15 years ago

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

  16. P Brooks   15 years ago

    Stimulating.

  17. A is Awesome   15 years ago

    L

    O

  18. Paul   15 years ago

    That bulldozer was built by the Bush white house and runs on oil from Haliburton.

    1. Suki   15 years ago

      It is soon to be converted to solar and wind power.

  19. Paul   15 years ago

    Obama's just bulldozing the parts of the economy that Bush told him to.

  20. Just Sayin'   15 years ago

    Nobody gives a FARK about your morning and you are not funny. Comments should be relevant and straight and to the point!

    1. rctl   15 years ago

      No head for you!

      1. Just Sayin'   15 years ago

        Peter North says hello!

      2. bleek obummer   15 years ago

        Enough with the spoofing already!

  21. p90x dvd   15 years ago

    nice blog!

  22. Insanity DVDs   15 years ago

    get me posted!

  23. Insanity DVDs   15 years ago

    i will take the check

  24. them nike outlet   15 years ago

    "It just shows that they don't know what Congress is going to do over the course of the decade."

    I'll give them a hint: Spend more money.

  25. blancpain replica watches   15 years ago

    I love your website!

  26. Scarpe Nike   14 years ago

    is good
