Is she trying to sound all stern and serious, or a giggly airhead?

Also, Al Capp pretty much was a Teabagger of his time, and kind of an asshole. Ruins the thought experiment.

I was visiting with a former co-worker about a man we both knew who had his health insurance canceled, whose wife has a brain tumor and as well he has diabetes and is now having kidney problems. My former co-worker then mentioned how now it would be illegal not to have insurance (he thought McCain was too liberal) because of Socialist Obama. <i>He</i> has insurance only because his wife works for the Transportation Safety Administration.

Any irony or even the concept of cause and effect is completely unknown to this crowd. If it doesn't come from Fox News or talk radio it isn't true. The teatards cannot be placated and they cannot go back to an imaginary perfect America of nostalgia.

The best humor tends to be subversive. Tea Party Animals are Revolutionaries. So why are they incapable of being funny? Because they lack the capacity for abstract thought, I believe. What passes for humor among them is inevitably hostile humor, never the silly or existential or incongruous type.

Ahem. In case it's escaped anyone's notice, some of us STILL enjoy "Calvin & Hobbes".

I'm just saying....

I'm pretty sure Bucky Katt in "Get Fuzzy" is supposed to be an O'Reilly-esqe wingnutter.

I understand that Liz Glover's yoga studio specializes in improving flexibility in synapses, neurons, and thinking patterns.

The Downward Facing Dendrite is a favorite asana of mine.

I thought they were all witty, except for The Boondocks. Seeing Riley and Huey with stars in their eyes for Glen Beck made me vomit in my mouth a little.

Don't fuck with Mark Trail Boston Globe. He's been hit on the head so many times that he's likely to go all What Th' ? on your ass.
