Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 26, 2012
Transcript:
Rick: Your Gram is right, Alex, blogging for HuffPo is humiliating, but at this point, I can't be proud... all my years of experience at the Post count for nothing now. I need the exposure. Alex: How many people have blogged for HuffPo? Rick: Must be close to 10,000. Alex: 10,000? You guys should strike! Bring HuffPo to its knees! Rick: We don't think that way. We're too old. Alex: I'm not! I could lead you!

How old is Rick now? Wasn’t around 30ish in the 70s? Shouldn’t he be retiring anyway?

Charging for content? How is that working for the NYT? They have plenty of advirtisers now on Huffpost they must be making money.

FriscoLou said, 20 minutes agoGo further to the left Rick, become a Kossack and start writing for the Daily Kos, then go on strike. That way you can keep his brand in circulation with no loss of pay.

If the HuffPo writers strike, the replacement refs will take their place. And we all know how that works out.

Great, Alex! You’re going to destroy your step-grandpop’s meager exposure.

Families across America are wondering why they can’t use their money to pay for their own food instead of someone else’s. My parents are upper middle class. I’m below the poverty line. And I’m working way too hard to have a tenth of my paycheck disappear into food stamps, planned parenthood, and social security. If any would not work, neither should he eat.

Neither of my parents gets social security. I wish they hadn’t signed me up. I’d rather save my own money, thanks. I don’t need the government to babysit me. As for the war in Iraq, you’re talking to a libertarian, not a republican. I just want the government to mind its own business, not mine or the rest of the world’s.

I’ve never read the huffington post. Is it leftist liberal?.Yes. But try it and see for yourself.

Wise up Bozo OleEd…today’s is a classic strip with a great snipe AT the left. Trudeau is a master of poking fun at his favorite political side once in awhile, which keeps even conservatives—like me—reading and laughing when we least expect it. Try sticking with comments that relate DIRECTLY to the strip of the day, pinhead.

“If you dare to look at Fox News your eyes will pop out of their sockets and if you listen to it your ears will grow snail slime and if and if you repeat what you hear your mouth will spew out hair balls.”Yeah, that’s pretty much what happens to me when I’m fed a steady diet of LIES!!

I would rather give my money to a private charity that helped the people that needed it rather then the millions of parasites on Welfare.

Who are the rich people draining? Why can’t we just have a blanket tax, everyone paying the same percentage? As for the truth, there’s a woman who drives around my neighborhood in a hummer with plates that say payd 4 byU. Lovely, wouldn’t you agree? Do these people even get drug tested?
