About Tony Auth
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."

Janus is alive, well, and campaigning??

Meanwhile, THE ONE said “most transparent” and “most responsible” before he said “it’s Bush’s fault,” and “spontaneous protest of a youtube video.” It amazes me how the collective pundits are more afraid of what they think MAY happen more than what IS happening right beneath their noses (i.e. the most corrupt and careless presidency in human history).

The fat lady has yet to sing, but the clowns are out in full force. Must be the intermezzo before the final act.

If your liberal mind was able to think more creatively, you would have named him Paul McRomney.

yohann Van Winkle: it’s time you and the other Republicans woke to your own statement repeated so often: “W” isn’t president any more. Cheney HAS had a change of heart, literally, but there’s no indication he’s changed his mind, or profit-taking at the expense of our troops and country.

“battleground”? Are those Revolutionary or Civil war?

That would be W… Getting 100,000 people killed over a fraud ranks you pretty high

More nearly like Quadrophenia because sometimes Willtt speaks out of his jacksie.

Governor of Mass Romney said Yes to gun control, yes to a woman’s right of choice, and yes to healthcare. Presidential candidate Romney said No to all of those things until the Presidential debate. I really don’t know that a Romney presidency would be a bad thing since no one, not even his running mate, really knows where this man stands. All we know for sure is that he wants to win and is willing to take any position to do so.

And on that note-
Since it appears Maine Republicans are spending time and money following this lady around in WoW in hopes of “hearing” her say something they can use against her in the race, I wonder how many other people are paid to visit forums to make trollish comments about other people’s positions. I’m making mine for free. Peace Trolls UNITE!!!!
Poor WoW lady. Bad enough being in such a weak game…its just not easy being green. :D (My brother plays WoW so I tease)

“One foot on the gas and one foot on the brake.”

Tried that as a kid – under 10 – and it didn’t work. Why? Well, my dad just looked a me, while I was in the car, and said “now try starting the car!”. Sad to say, Mitt has yet to start “his” car. He’s like a child sitting at the steering wheel, one foot on the gas pedal and one on the brake, but no key in the ignition! He’s just pretending to “drive”.
