The Times was terrible at redacting, but great on predicting the importance of Illinois State Senator Barack Obama.

Can we get Peter Bagge back? This is some Onion level bad political cartoons.

The gray lady is much more readable this way. Redact every other word of a Krugman blurt and you might find some hidden wisdom.

  Gray, indeed.
  
  What, did Payne run out of colors?
2. plusafdotcom 10 years ago
  
  imnsho, redact EVERY word of a Krugman blurt and all that's left is wisdom!

I highly doubt any sane Friday funnies artist actually comes into the comments, but good job is you do.

  What sane Friday Funnies artist wouldn't actually come into the comments? There is much to learn here, especially from the psychosexual analyses
Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper 10 years ago

Been trying to get my comments in BEFORE I head to radiation, but I never do. So, freshly glowing, back from said treatment, I find:

I don't get it. It's awful, therefore perfect.

Happy FUCKING Friday Reasonoids! Only TWO MORE radiation treatments for the old Almanian, then.....TBD. Probably time off for good behavior (except for the tumor - it continues to be punished by the radiation and chemo (I take a pill to assist the radiation) for a few weeks after treatment ceases.

May you all be surprised to find you have an incurable disease and live out your final days, in agony, wondering what might have been.

Oh, and Have A Great Weekend!!! 🙂

  My parentheses are all messed up. I blame Bush.
  
  Also - fried chicken.

  Is there no hope of remission for you?

  Good luck to you! I enjoy your contributions - mostly snark.

Um, Henry Payne does know Bin Laden was killed under Obama's presidency, right?

I find this mildly amusing.
