Jules Feiffer has described Tony Auth best, "His perspective is that of a bemused and often angry comic historian. Irony, never a favorite form with Americans, is his meat and potatoes. He is not smug, and though he can be mean, he is never mean-spirited. Auth is a moralist and an optimist. He insists, even in this day and age, that hope is more than the name of a right-wing comedian or the shtick of a reactionary president."

I thought they weren’t using a drill. They were vaporizing everything with a LASER. Hope no Martians get in the way. It could become an interplanetary incident.

When I was 12, I wrote a story about “aliens” living INSIDE Mars, so LEAVE THEM ALONE! BTW, I wrote that fiction at the same age Norquist wrote his “no taxes” pledge, but I grew up and learned from mathematics, economics, biology, and other sciences. Grover and the other neocons haven’t learned anything since fourth grade. (Well, except “rape”; economic, or physical, is okay, if you’re far enough “right” in your politics.)

I can back up Mr. Trout on the age of Norquist when he wrote his pledge that most Republican Congressmen have sworn to.

Yeah, but trout is older than me. He’s a Vietnam vet. Norquist is only two years older than me.
