Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 06, 2012

Roland has his priorities.

Wow – the Democrats have rocked the past two nights!

Back to the motel… news at eleven !Having at one stage in my misspent youth, been around these types, it’s all too ironically true. It’s called cover the bases.

more like cya

why record the second version? you’re never gonna play it

Reminds me of the Trinity test site reports for the A-Bomb —

I want one story if we fail, one story if we succeed and another if we disintegrate…

GT nailed the Warren speach!

I wonder if Elizabeth Warren is a Doonesbury fan? We heard Joanie’s/GT’s 3 words last night…

1948. Dewey Wins. Q.E.D. the media. Doesanybody know or remember if D used both speeches?

GT’s pet, Elizabeth Warren, fake Cherokee, failed to match GT’s hype. GT thinks that just because somebody’s a professor at Harvard, it must mean they’re worth hearing. It never occurs to GT that EW is what she wanted to be: namely, a quota hire

Cover the bases isn’t confined to news. Look at the championships in any sport. Speculators will spend bunches of money to have tees made for both teams to be able to have them on the market as soon as the final whistle blows.

I’d like some of the more stable minded folks to read the comments from our more conservative brethren, not only on this site, but also Slate.com, regarding Bill Clinton’s speech of Wednesday night and ask yourself this question: Would I really want to live in a country these “conservatives” would find acceptable?

God is on Romney’s side? Would that be the Southern Baptist God, the Catholic God or the Mormon God? I hear that those gods aren’t really on speaking terms.

The New York Times ran no such headline. It was the Chicago Tribune that used the headline “Dewey Defeats Truman.”

“Former President Gerald Ford was eaten by wolves today…”

Yeah, but was Mr. O able to buy a new pair of shoes while helping in those local areas? Just asking.

I loved Clinton’s jibe at Mitt about “being born in a log cabin he built himself”!

Well of course god is on Romney’s side. They are both well disguised manifestations of pure evil.

I have read a lot of comments on this one. It seems some people hear different than what was said. One commenter talks about Obamas dumpster diving after law graduation. No-it was during law school like when there is no money left over after education bills.Commenters here are only a slight cut above the birther, bagger, hate blacks bloggers on the straight political articles.Bush W had 8 years and all the talking heads spewing hate and division. His presidency will show in history as the worst ever, and his division of the country the biggest ever, and his plundering of the treasury with two wars and a tax cut to go with them-such fiscal lunacy has not been seen in top leadership before that time.

Wow. The Republicans are a strange coalition these days. At the top, guys with their favorite Senator on speed dial, but at the bottom, people so out of touch they actually believe it when someone tells them that Harvard has a quota for Cherokees.

God has no business in politics. You want god in politics? Go to the Middle East and join Al Qaeda or the Taliban.

I hope all of you watched Bill Moyers on PBS channels last Sat night. If you missed it, go to his website and look for the show about Ralph Reed.

As for dumpster diving, go to any grad students apartment. Half the furniture there is stuff he or she found on the street. The tv is on top of a plywood plank which is on cinder blocks. How much spare money do you think law school students have?

CNN reported that the Supreme Court overturned the healthcare law.

Obama has granted at least 2 interviews to Fox. Of course as a matter of Fox policy, the reporters kept interrupting him.

Pesky factoid: no mention of God in U S Constitution either.

Roarin’ Warren did a great job last night. There was quite a contrast between the 2 conventions. As for the GOP, who says the right doesn’t like recycling? Especially in regard to women, their ideas go back to 1952 or so.

Repub’s," Were gonna make sure Obama is only a two term president".

Both Michelle’s speech and Bill Clinton’s speech hit the ball out of the park! Both were entertaining, fun and a reminder of what a great country we live in if only we could get the money out of politics. Sadly, our democracy is being sold to the richest 1%.

Never hurts to be prepared for the situation… usually.

No, I think you win the Looney category.

The difference between a Republican speech and a Democratic speech is the Democratic speech has a RING OF TRUTH to it. Whether they follow thru on it is another question but at least they have a moral compass, not like these “God is a corporation, my friend” Reeps.

Clinton was never impeached. Nixon was. Any other lies you’d care to spout?

I bet you can be a decent guy, when you aren’t acting like such an ignorant butthead.

You give Bush the Moron, waay too much credit. He was never anything but Cheney’s puppet, bought and sold by his contributors. He nearly ruined this country. When he left we were in the throws of a depression. We were universally hated, despised, and disrespected throughout the world. He single handedly did more to unseat us as the world leader than any President in our history. But yeah, Clinton being impeached for lying about getting a BJ, is so much worse.

Do you ever look in the mirror, and wonder, what the heck happened to my intellect? You should.

Fox will have to go with the “huge hit” tape.

What a hate filled post. It is extremely rare I flag a post, yours gets it.I have served in Iraq.

Hate filled post? You wound me, sir. What, specifically, do you find offensive about it?

That I suggested a non-existent deity has no business in politics? I’ll cop to that: I don’t want an American Theocracy headed by the Grand Ole Perverts or anyone else for that matter. I could point out the amazing hypocrisy of the current crop of GOPerverts in their unholy pogrom to turn America into Ayn Rand’s vision of Utopia. Ahhh, I can hear their rallying cry now, as the crush their boots into the necks of the poor and sick: “Screw you, I got mine!”

Or perhaps you took offense at my suggestion the person I was replying to should go to one of the countries/groups that seem to think a Theocracy is a great thing. I stand by that, it would be an informative lesson. It may require exchanging one’s beliefs in one Middle Eastern fairy tale for another Middle Eastern fairy tale, but no matter which one you choose, god is always on your side! You say you served in Iraq, so you undoubtedly experienced or witnessed what fairy tale driven politics has to offer.

Well, that is preparation, almost everything in a political campaign is marketing; beeing prepared for the end result makes sense.

Journalism on the other side is analytical and reporting; basically everthing BUT marketing.

Sadly this is the quality of press we have over the whole earth at the moment. It s not about knowledge and learning, its about pushing the included ads to paying eyes.
