"Garry Trudeau is the premier American social and political satirist of his time." -Newsweek Doonesbury has managed to be articulate, abrasive, political, compassionate, misunderstood, misprinted, and outrageous - but one thing it's never been is complacent. Garry Trudeau's creation has chronicled American history and culture in a parallel universe. And through it all, Doonesbury has always been honest, entertaining, and thought-provoking.

Numbers- like the media- have a liberal bias.

And 333 + 333 = 666. That doesn’t make it right.

Like the President’s college transcripts? Or the articles he wrote for the Harvard Review? Or why his biography said he was born in Kenya (despite the fact he was obviously born in Hawaii), for fifteen years? Or how about the Fast and Furious documents the DOJ is withholding – in contempt of Congress? Or a hundred other things…No? I’m sure yet more of Romney’s tax returns are FAR more important.
Or at least, you folks believe it to be so and that’s what’s really important. I truly do pity you people.

Irrelevant talking points R us?

Responding to Orion, it took ten seconds and google to get the truth about the “Harvard Law Review” article (singular) that law-student Obama wrote before he himself became editor of that journal. As the review is readily available in bound volumes and anyone can go through it for the years Obama was in law school, the only thing that makes this article hidden is that it didn’t rate a byline, and a reporter had to go through the correspondence of the Review to verify the authorship. As a youthful foray into the thorny subject of reproductive rights, and as it was not written as a personal opinion piece anyway, Obama has avoided speaking about it.

I think there is enough there to found a little mild criticism on. A little more forthrightness would be better. But if Orion has heard that there is something more to it than that, he is listening to a bogus source.
As far as Romney’s tax returns are concerned, I am sure there is nothing illegal or even shady in them. Merely a tale of great wealth and all the perfectly legal devices available to the very wealthy to enable them to pay a lower federal tax rate than average people. Or perhaps he has made large contributions to the Mormon church, as fears how that will be viewed. Who knows? As will most cover-ups, it is the fact of his hiding these things rather than the things themselves that is damning. If the returns were as available to anybody as Obama Harvard Law Review article is available, and Romney refused to comment on them, then there would be some vague similarity.
Orion also complains that colleges consider their students’ report cards to be confidential and Obama has not chosen to release his college report cards. If Orion can show that presidents and politicians in general do publish their report cards from school, he might have a point. Let’s see some information on that.
As to the typo about his birthplace, that is simply a typo and everyone with the remotest degree of sense knows that.

On Romney and tax amnesties – I’ve posted some comparisons with UK tax amnesties on the bottom or yesterday’s thread, where the discussion was. Probably only of interest to the tax geeks among us, but hey, we’ve got rights too…

Doughfoot, I’d like to see some data which indicates whether Orion has the remotest degree of common sense. I suspect that he’s withholding that information, however…

My goodness, the trolls are out early today.
Must be that they couldn’t sleep after that rousing speech by Mitt at the RNC.
Or maybe, it was that brilliant bit of improv. done by Clint that has them all a twitter ?
