Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 29, 2013

Is that the bit about “..and the pursuit of happiness” ?

No, every day on Faux Noise ! There’s a parallel reality universe that they exist in …

exoticdoc, so Bill O’Rieley is a mystic? Well, he is a mystery to me…

What was it a few years ago about a reality based community.

One day and he goes from Messiah to Mess- Yah,,,,,,,,

We have the freedom to believe what we wish to be true.

Wiley’s use of ‘speechless’ frames is masterful.

You tell ’em Eddie… plus the world is only six thousand years old… tharabouts.

and everybody were Danae gets it from.

We don’t let the facts get in the way of our opinions. I can understand that!

So what ‘agender’ is Eddie?

thought the tides were dictated by the moon and gravity. but, some people don’t believe in gravity and moon and science.

Wasn’t it just yesterday some comments mentioned seeing only the cat’s back? I haven’t been here long, but I think this is the first time I’ve seen the cat’s face. Hey, Wiley Cat, don’t be afraid to show your face more often.Maybe s/he has his/her own agender.

“Agender.” Yup, Wiley nails his Downeast accent :) Just ask my cousins, Rogah and Linder.

ghenley, you haven’t lost any freedoms and you know it…Name 3! And nobody can take your values…stop being paranoid….You’re scaring the crazy people…

Reality is a state of mind.

And in Mark Twain!.From “The Mysterious Stranger,” Chapter 11:…“Nothing exists; all is a dream. God—man—the world—the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars—a dream, all a dream; they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space—and you! …“Strange! that you should not have suspected years ago—centuries, ages, eons, ago!—for you have existed, companionless, through all the eternities. Strange, indeed, that you should not have suspected that your universe and its contents were only dreams, visions, fiction!…“It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream—a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!”…http://www.mtwain.com/The_Mysterious_Stranger/10.html …All well and good, as long as he doesn’t use it as an excuse to not pay for his meal.

Does this mean my universe is a fiction? Well…I’ve got to improve my writing, then.-And all of you are figments of my imagination? What bizarre freudian mindset caused me to dream up argumentative know-it-alls skat-ting about comic strips? And why did you dream me up?-Weird, huh?

Scary, but true.

Another GOPer member of the US Senate Science and Technology Committee heard from.

I think the point is that their world is a CARTOON. Doubt they would be funny if is was real world.

Did not know Eddie could read…..

There’s a RI cartoonist that does “How To Talk Good Like A Rhode Islander Should.” He has a cartoon (I saw it on a T-shirt) with a picture of a woman: “Brender.” And a picture of of a kitchen appliance: “Blendah.”

Reality is that which when you stop believing in it is still there.

Reality is merry an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. Einstein

You come up with some good replies.

Remember the line about the first person to say “Hitler” loses the argument? For me, the first person to say “tea bagger” proves they are incapable of logical argument.

Probably thinks immunization causes autism, too.

So Eddie is a anti gun, spend spend spend liberal democrat? Perhaps not. He does refer to the Constitution after all. So Eddie is better than Obama.

Not another Hitler/Tea Party comparison. You people are giving Hitler a bad name!-(Just a joke! Back in your cage! Back, I say! Down!)

“I reject your reality and substitute my own!” – Adam Savage

Think Repper is refering to the rule that in a chat argument the person who’s lossing will be the first to refer to Hitler, ie, their arguemnt can’t hold weight so they start throwing around emotional epithats. And for Repper s/he/it assumes anyone refering to a teabagger has resorted to name calling and is therefor “loosing.” .Sadly this ignores: 1. the tea party members who embrace this title.2. all the rest of the less lucid who resort to name calling in all of it’s many poltical iterations, be that republi-thug or Obummer.3. those who like to perform oral acts on .ahem. family jewels

Eddie must be the father of Fox ‘news’. Reality is left at the door. Use your own facts. Truth is for suckers.

OK so let’s re think this in a way that my brain can comprehend….IF reality is involved Edddie isn’t interested. OK Got it! I just found out today that when my brain shuts down I am helpless especially around computers!

@Sharuniboy Thanks, My mistake. I’m from Australia and easily confused. Hence the question mark.I have read the Australian Constitution which is a nice document although we don’t pay much attention to it.

When I saw this strip, I thought, “Ooooo! POLITICS! POLITICS!” . . . and sure ’nuff.

Linguist said, less than a minute ago@OmniusNever did see that part in the Constitution about reality being subjective,>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Then you have not read many of the opinions emanating from the judicial geniuses at the Supreme Court. The more they say that they are "strictly interpreting the Constitution ", the more subjective their reality becomes.

No wonder the cat has his back turned.

Oh… if only the political pundit wanna-be’s on this COMIC comments page would stick to observations relative to the cartoon! Like : ever notice that the cat’s face is always turned away from and on the opposite shoulder than Eddie’s pipe?Now… make political hay from that.

Eddie’s been fishing more than long enough to know the phases of the moon, and pretty much know the tide tables in his head, by heart. However, his “talent” for wrecking his boat indicates he DOES get his information from Fox News. I watch occasionally, with a sense of humor. The other day, in 12 minutes of their “reporting” there were 16 MAJOR factual errors in their stories! When they get “political”, then all bets for accuracy are totally off.

Sadly, news has all gone way down. Last night a CBS reporter in the field reported concern about hispanics because of the 2011 election! duh!

sign on a local Park & Rec office: “make Fun a Reality”sorta like climate change

The idea that there is no absolute truth has been around for a while. It’s still utter nonsense: to be true, it must be false. Therefore, it must be false.

I read an article awhile back. The gist was that the universe may really be a matrix. Hogwash but it makes for an interesting and light read. If it is true, the universe is subjective. >>http://www.movies.com/movie-news/scientists-announce-study-to-determine-if-were-all-living-in-the-matrix/10647

I’m not sure which is worse: the Leftists who know that’s what they are or the ones who don’t.

Reality is certainly subjective for Barry’s useful idiot fellow travelers in the lamestream media.

Would that, Thomas, Scalia and Alito, believed that. They seem to hold that everything was chiseled in stone in 1789 and modernity be damned !

The sad thing is that now NPR is ramping up their efforts to play the same “fair and balanced” game and going in the same direction. May have to stop contributing.

He’s from Maine. That’s a part of the Northeastern accent. Just like JFK saying Cuber for Cuba.

Who knows? He may have just gotten mugged by a Welfare recipient.
