Tom Toles for October 26, 2010

R2! Shut it down!

Yeah, this cartoon pretty well sums things up.

Actually, I think the taxpayers should be placed between the walls and the car. They’re the ones getting squeezed and hammered.

When you want to go forward, you choose “D”. When you want to go backwards, you choose “R”. We’re going to see lots of people with back up lights on this November.

I think we’re stuck in “N”–for “nowhere.”

“R2! Shut it down!”

You win this thread.

The right looks like the empty elevator shaft (or maybe the cliff).

I call it motive and Tom in a photo finish!

“This cartoon nails it, in that to get out of the mess, they need to turn to the right.”

And drive up the center. That’s not in keeping with attacking “moderate Republicans.”

I saw this in an “Austin Powers” flick.

“If the Dems lose they will become the party of ‘No’ to protect their interests.”

Here’s hoping. I’m concerned for the plethora of gay-bashing bills that people like Angle will bring up.

Actually, just as under Newtie, the Republicans will remain the party of “no”: no committee assignments, no public hearings on legislation(right only please), no honest presentation of facts (no more WMDs, please), no taxes on the rich, no end to debt, no end to seeking wars, no cuts in defense, no health care for citizens, no jobs, no hope.

Sooky Rottweiler says; Once, I had to sleep in Buzz’s kitty bed. Oh, the humiliation! The hard part was getting out…THAT was humiliating!

I was in a fix, quite like the guys in the cartoon.

This country is in the P gear. Parked by the roadside, while the rest of the world passes us in industry, employment, transportation and alternative energy.

Yesterday I watched how, in the space of about 30 mins, 4 successive waves of spam hit this site and Gocomics staff eliminated them. Then I got bored watching paint dry and went on my way.

I suspect that Gocomics staff need to attend Spam University (< - - don’t click on the url if you don’t trust me saying it’s ok) in order to learn their tactics. There are a few methods to slow these guys down but I don’t see Gocomics employing them. I just don’t understand how spammers survive. There must be enough idiots out there who don’t get annoyed with the spam, actually read the trite and believe they won’t get scammed or conned by buying trash from folks who use such blantant underhand tactics. ‘Tis a strange world.
