Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 15, 2011

Where did he come up with that?

That’s news to me! Tell us more, Petey.

Wikipedia strikes again!

If that came from Petey’s text book, I’ll eat it!

I’m embarrassed to say it comes from here- http://tinyurl.com/4pgh7lu

I’d always suspected …

As a fan of the Racing Rushmores mascots of the Washington Nationals baseball club, I’m not surprised to see Teddy get no respect – AGAIN. Coincidental that this is the first day of spring training, and that Richard Thompson’s home base is The Washington Post? Conspiracy theorists say “they want you to think that.”

It’s nice to learn about US President’s history. I had no idea. That’s crazy!

Teddy was our first beaver president. How could Hayes shine next to that?

You wouldn’t think it from his presidential portraits, but the young Rutherford Hayes was quite a looker:

Only in Texas………………

In his way, Petey is kind of the R.B. Hayes of comic strip characters.

Thanks, RT, for today’s laughs!

And I thought Teddy was the fish-slapping president …

Hayes didn’t just have a mustache–he had a beard! Also, he was the first President to successfully steal an election (people used to call him RutherFRAUD B. Hayes). There wouldn’t be another until JFK in 1960 and (almost) Al Gore in 2000.

Richard, you finally pulled “Richard’s Poor Almanack” out from mothballs.

He Richard, you finally pulled ‘Richard’s Poor Almanack’ out of mothballs

mom looks like she’s wearing sod

Poor Petey

I have a hard time believing Petey wouldn’t be happier the more obscure his president was. Presidents that people have heard of? Pah! Those are for amateurs!

deskmandmnaThanks for the link, funny, too, at times! Yes, he was a looker!

Hayes was a horrible president. Like his fellow fraudster who stole the White House 124 years later, he’d lost the popular vote, but traded an electoral win for the disenfranchisement of black Americans in the south, leading to decades of murderous injustice. It was also the death knell for the G.O.P. as a party of civil rights.

I LOVE CUL DE SAC!! :)

And I echo the thanks to the “hottie” president link - who knew?!

The wagging finger loses no potency hidden under a table.

The wagging finger loses no potency hidden under a table, somehow.

Petey could fire up a hot presentation on Stolen Elections - and segue into the present day, when we’re STILL suffering from the Stolen Election of 2000… History will remember Dubya as the worst President since Jeff Davis.

(OldestandWiseguy, i take issue with your screen name.)

Its those pesky Virginia textbooks again.

love the floating and noisy chocolates

It makes sense that GW treated his teeth with wood polish- since I’ve heard they were of wood. As someone who has had full dentures from my 30s, I understand obsession with keeping them as smoothe and comfortable as possible - not sure about the Teddy Roosevelt thing though and what could have caused such a belief…
