    It is of interest that the “pilots” of the plane that hsot Kong down were the producers of the film - “We created this thing, we get to kill it” or words to that effect.

    Considering that every huge deficit since the end of World War Two has been the olegacy of a Republican Administraton (remember - Bill Clinton handed over an operating surplus to the Shrub - the Repubs ought to take this to heart…

    You morons who pretend Congress doesn’t spend ALL the money and write ALL the laws and pass ALL the budgets need to be shipped to North Korea to sing love songs to Kim Jung Ill…

    fpf2: stop being a BOB….blame it on bush…….Clinton handed over a pseudo- surplace a bubble from Dot.Com sham…not his fault either plus or minus…….Bush handed over a deficit which has been multiplied by at least 3 in less than a year….the problem is and always is CONGRESS

    Scotty might indulge in any text on economics in the U.S., and the differences between public and private spending. Right, Congress buys his crayons for him.

    So right! Congress holds the purse strings!

    And the internet bubble under Clinton was very much like the housing bubble- it looked like great prosperity with everyone making out like bandits- everyone could get rich! But when the reality hit, that it was all hot air, it started to collapse, and that collapse actually started happening in the summer of Clinton’s last term, but of course, libs rewrite history all the time, ignore the facts they don’t like and twist others, to create a “new reality” that fits their ultra biased view.

    dear striper - your copy-paste posts keep reminding me of the vomit verse in proverbs 26

    Proverbs 26

    1 Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,
    honor is not fitting for a fool.

    2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
    an undeserved curse does not come to rest.

    3 A whip for the horse, a halter for the donkey,
    and a rod for the backs of fools!

    4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,
    or you will be like him yourself.

    5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
    or he will be wise in his own eyes.

    6 Like cutting off one’s feet or drinking violence
    is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool.

    7 Like a lame man’s legs that hang limp
    is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

    8 Like tying a stone in a sling
    is the giving of honor to a fool.

    9 Like a thornbush in a drunkard’s hand
    is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

    10 Like an archer who wounds at random
    is he who hires a fool or any passer-by.

    11 As a dog returns to its vomit,
    so a fool repeats his folly.

    12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
    There is more hope for a fool than for him.

    Scriptures from reprobate mind non Christians, feminists, socialists, communist, traitors, Muslims, homosexuals and acceptance of everything type people mean nothing to me.

    Skipping over to your DICK TRACY ….

    That APE epitomizes the disappointing pace in your Circus story - A condition with the Hero “standing still” engaging in just “talky,talking talk”- for 3 whole months ! Little action, and just depicting animals as readers buzzed around with stinging attacks.

    Time to pay more attention to the “writing style” that Gould taught you. Early crime, the “Chase” sequence (bringing action) No need to throw away the memory of your good work on the strip in the nineties.

    There was more “activity” on the comment board than you had in the comic strip !

    Hey, parker’, I remembered:

    What’s the difference between miracle and magic?

    Dr.Canuck, lay off my girl! - ;^)
    Parker, these are my favorites on this site: 1.Tom Toles 2. Clay Jones 3. Glenn McCoy 4. Steve Sack 5. Gary Varvel 6. Dick Locher 7.Steve Kelley 8.John Deering9. Nick Anderson 10. Signe Wilkinson. This is strictly on artistic style, not political content. I tried to keep it down to 5, but I couldn’t trim any; and I’m also paying more attention to Mike Luckovich since you mentioned him (He’s #11). It seems like I like the abstract or cartoony styles as opposed to the more Graphically intense cartoonists. I wonder what that says about me?

    Striper, you were too harsh on parker. She nailed me with some good points earlier, though she’s too double-minded to see that her preferred philosophy (Leftism) is the one which also throws all the roadblocks in my way IRL, and which has so corrupted and poisoned the culture I live in that as I age, I feel more and more like the lone survivor of some great cataclysm which killed off all of my peers…

    Just the fact she can properly recognize and interpret SOME Scripture gives glory to God; now if only she could tame her double-minded down some more… and then teach me how to do so, as well, once she perfects the methodology.. :/

    PS parker throwing those Scriptures at you due to your legitimate concerns about what the Demoncrats are doing with their Orwellian “Hate Crimes” laws was pretty awful, too.

    It seems there’s just no pure winners around here… everyone’s a sinner in need of salvation, or something…

    miracles or magic - good one

    remember, Canuck, my opinion

    miracles are God’s and God’s alone - the most notable are Christ’s in his 31st year

    disciples, apostles also “performed” miracles, but only by the power of God

    magic, on the other hand, in its most innocent form, amounts to tricks, sleight of hand so to speak

    in it’s most dangerous form, magic is well known to worshippers of the dark side. it, however, pales in power. i won’t go there and i suggest that you don’t.

    the bible has clear admonishments regarding sorcery and witchcraft

    i think i backed off last time because this is so controversial, often taken casually and misunderstood - further this is such a bizarre forum - it’s hard to tell how far one can go

    until you read frito or the ripper

    dawg! i haven’t got this much attention since i subbed for a gogo dancer a uh lotta years ago

    how did these toons get under my skin - i love’em and then there’re the posts - and to think i used to write letters and read books

    yeah, thompson i love. without looking, i’m sayin’ thompson, rall (and that so changed when he started talkin back - i didn’t used to like him, but what a guy - and to me it does matter who does the thinking/drawing) ok thompson, rall, luckovich, sargent fromtexasmetoobutthat’snotwhyilikehim, i like ramirez only for his drawing and so not his politics, horsey i like, pismestrovic for sure, ammer does some elegant work, stantis is pretty deep. how many is that? about five?

    what it says about you? i remember you recognizing the hopper-esque toon when you travelled under another name nooooofeeeaaarrrr??? you’re an art freak too

  22. DrCanuck

    DrCanuck said, about 1 month ago

    parker, you dodged the question. Simply because they come from different sources doesn’t make their essences different. A Chevy made in the US and a Chevy made in Canada are still the same things.

    So do you concede they are synonomous, or is miracle is a form or magic, or is magic a form of miracle?

    DrCanuck, you are a figment of your own mind.

  26. parkersinthehouse

    parkersinthehouse said, about 1 month ago

    did not dodge dr

    i suppose i assumed that you knew more than you do - miracles such as causing a blind person to see or raising a bedridden paralytic to walk derive from the supernatural power of God alone

    magic doesn’t do that.

    magic such as making a rabbit disappear into a hat and then making it reappear is sleight of hand by clever entertainers

    miracles don’t do that

    magic such as casting spells draws from a different supernatural power and is often called sorcery

    the sources are not the same

    their essences are not the same

    their results are not the same

    there’s so much more about this issue

    it would be cool to have a round table about some of these things - moderated of course so i could do most of the talking

    What’s a steam-roller? Is that the thing that always drove over Sylvester? That arrogant Tweety Bird always made me so mad…

    Dr.Canuck, (I’m mixing honey and poison here …) A miracle is something you know can’t happen unless something or SOMEONE can break the LAWS of NATURE…
    And magic is what evolutionists do when they glue bird-tails on raptor skeletons and publish the pictures in the National Geo., claiming they have found a transitional fossil.
    Abra-ca-dabra!
    Presto-Chango!

    parker, ol’ chum; you and I come from such different places, assumptions, and perspectives that we might as well be speaking different languages.

    You accept so much without questioning, on faith, I suppose, and I’m questioning. I’m sure you’re convinced that you’re answering my questions, but from my perspective, you’re just waving your arms in the air.

    “The essences are not the same.” HOW are they different?

    “The sources are not the same.” HOW do you know the sources?

    “The results are not the same.” HOW so?

    To your lil’ puppy-dog.”

    Those are true words my friend, and I hope we can all remember them. None of us has the whole picture yet, and perhaps we won’t till we die. Or, as our good friend Paul says, “For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.”

    i guess i am trying to simplify answers when there isn’t a productive way to do that

    i’m a searcher, a questioner by nature, but not as good an answerer i guess

    my faith has come easily having been born into a Christian familybut not blindly

    even having been an intensely rebellious youth; even after growing into a self-congratulatory survival-proud and independent woman; and even in the face of a liberal arts underpinning, a chosen discipline whose history is checkered to be kind, graduate research and colleagues of every dark persuasion, i periodically rediscover for certain that God is alive

    that’s my core - so to me, miracles are simply believable – true and holy by nature - executed to bring fallen persons into wholeness

    magic in it’s most innocuous form is entertaining - worthless in terms of changing lives for the better or for the worse

    according to the bible which i believe literally and experientially, there is a supernatural realm in which both good and evil exist

    magic in its most malevolent form has the power to destroy - expectedly, the opposite of good and of God
