So...is the author trying to say that the constitution is popular again, or that it's a complete work of fiction?
1. anarch 16 years ago
  
  Why not both?

2. Devil Inchoate 16 years ago
  
  It's in the Fantasy section.
  1. Patch 16 years ago
    
    I beg to differ. Twilight's in that section, and it is far from fantasy, more like a nightmare.
    1. B&N Employee 16 years ago
      
      So shall I move it to the Horror section or the Horrid section?
      1. Other B&N Employee 16 years ago
        
        I'm taking it off the display shelf, it's politically incorrect.
3. PapayaSF 16 years ago
  
  This reminds me of a quote I saw recently: "The Constitution isn't perfect, but it's better than what we have now."
  1. Remove Before Flight *TAG* 16 years ago
    
    Nice quote. Good for knee-caping casual leftists arguments.
    1. Bucky 16 years ago
      
      "knee-capping"...
      bet you heard that on Fox!
4. kbolino 16 years ago
  
  Actually, the Constitution is almost completely a work of fiction. The only exceptions are a few qualifying phrases like "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" in the Second Amendment. This has nothing to do with the legitimacy of the document, but rather with its content. For contrast, most of the Declaration of Independence (except the actual declaration at the end) is nonfiction, because it reads like a description of fact.

    I always had a problem with "we hold these truths to be self evident" Sorry, I don't find that the at-birth equality of human beings to be all that self evident.
5. El Duderino 16 years ago
  
  I think that he is saying its popular again, problem is, its not popular with the people who take oaths to defend it.

Da Vinci Code? Harry Potter? Was this drawn five years ago?

  Payne lives in Detroit. It takes a while for culture to break though the ring of desolation there.

Twilight!!!! Squeeee!!!!!!!
CoyoteBlue 16 years ago

Over christmas, I saw the saddest thing in a Borders store. They have a new genre section called "Teenage Paranormal Romance." The End Times indeed.

I did my niece, who has some writing talent to write something with Harpys and get in on money train.

  Am I reading your last sentence correctly?

      This exchange was funnier than the cartoon. Which isn't saying much, since the cartoon needs a decoder ring to even understand it. But this, on the other hand, was damn funny!
      1. Spoonman. 16 years ago
        
        Agreed. There's always more entertainment in the Friday Funnies threads than in the Friday Funnies themselves.
        
        Hell, there's usually more entertainment in anon-bot posts than in Friday Funnies.

        I let out a hearty Butthead laugh as soon as my eyes hit "did".
    2. Hooha 16 years ago
      
      Oh, how I laughed.

He's pulling out his dick while figuring out which one to piss on, right?

  LULZ. WIN!

    Don't get too swelled a head, Bee Tee. Sage has a history of feigning laughter.

It's not funny because it's not true
Bucky 16 years ago

this is better...
there is a T-shirt hawker selling "Together We Thrive" shirts outside the "memorial services" for the slain in AZ.
he is saying to the passersby "Get your, 'Together We Thrive' T-shirts right here. Get'em before the next 'Tragedy To Good To Waste'...
Lefty Liberalson 16 years ago

Clearly, he's saying that the Constitution stuff is just a fad...much like Harry Potter and Twilight. How pedestrian in appealing to the lowest common denominator. Hrruppphh Hrrrumphh
