   Agreed. Fine work, Bob.

   This is some of my finest work! Glad to see a fellow Humphrey can enjoy it.

   MM, this is a silly, simplistic cartoon - light reading, just like Hagar. Funny that you have to be > 35 to get the Boris reference but < 8 to take it seriously.

   Clever Comment: Hey Steve, you forgot to put “JOE” on the torturee’s chest.

   Cartharic Comment: Yeah! Yeah! Stretch that motherf!#$er Joe the plumber! It’s the least that we should do to him for his crimes.

   How The Original Joe the Plumber Encounter Should Have Gone:

   Joe: Hey, I’m considering getting into a business that pulls in more than $200,000 a year. I’ve been looking at your tax plan and it appears that I’m gonna be paying MORE taxes under your plan. I don’t like that. Why do you need to tax my small business more?

   Obama: So, you personally make more than $200,000 per year?

   Joe: Well, it depends on what you mean by “make”. Are you talking the wage that I pay myself from my small business or what my small business makes or my adjusted gross income or…

   Obama: Hold on. You just said that your personal taxes were going to go up under my plan, right?

   Joe: Yes, but…

   Obama: So that means you personally make more than $200,000 per year - not your small business.

   Joe: Yes, but…

   Obama: And, you understand that there are millions of hard working families that are pulling in less than $50,000 a year; that there are hundreds of thousands of people losing their jobs and their homes and their retirement savings and are wondering how they are going to feed their families.

   Joe: Yes, but that’s their problem. Why do you need to tax my success?

   Obama: F!@# you. I need to go talk to some people with real problems.

   Joe: Damn! There goes that Bayliner 246!

   CF, I like the cut of your jib. The problem is definitely two sided. It’s my opinion that Israel has taken the wrong tack (hey two sailing refs already) by choosing the eye for an eye approach. Let me qualify that by saying that it is easy for me to judge sitting in extreme safety in the U.S. I don’t envy those who have to make these types of decisions, but I have to believe that there are more effective ways to keep yourself safe. If you are interested in this kind of thing, I suggest watching “Man From Plains”.

   So, this is a cartoon for people over 35 who still read Hagar the Horrible? Sounds like a large portion of the Republican demographic.

   Hey man, I’m in the market for a new car. I’ll take all the incentives I can get! I need something with more room than that golf cart, though.

   Clever, but one could argue that “as far as the eye can see” was probably more commonly understood to mean as far you can see before the curvature of the earth obscures objects from view. Again, guess which party I identify with :)

   It’s interesting to see the self-censoring that goes on in groups of individuals who identify with the Democratic party. I’m referring to the the two comments made by Corosive Frog. I haven’t done any comparative study, but my gut tells me that in groups who identify with the Republican party, that happens far less often. It is my strong belief that the parties are split along personality-type lines and that the ability to “admit when their side is wrong” is a strong indicator of that difference. Guess which party I identify with.

    Political positions are always attained with a combination of two things: 1) money and 2) fame. Some people have more of one than the other. One hopes that money is obtained and spent legally. Fame gets your foot in the door; it is the responsibility of the voter to do their best to assess the person behind the hype.
