introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

The pile of leaves comes out great in colorā¦OK, OK, wait, my brainās starting to workā¦come on quiet down so I can hear itā¦.Hey, thatās Wiley in the chairā¦Iām going to honor his requestā¦man it took me two posts to catch on..
@roctor -āIts over.ā Yes, in MANY ways. The welfare states have managed to turn the USA into a welfare country. It wonāt last four more years, what with obamaās new āflexibility.ā
I guess itās time to quit working for a living, adjust my standard of living and join the rest of the āgimmee more free stuff" people. It wonāt take long to run out of other peopleās money once all the working class does the same.
Itās time to exercise 2nd amendment rights en masse! Just the way our founding fathers envisioned, to overtake tyranny.
Trouble with telling everybody to āget a lifeā is that thereās a fairly significant chunk of the population for whom ālifeā equals endless chattering about politics. Worse, these people seem to be disproportionately represented in the snooze media. Expect the next several weeks to be filled with āanalysisā about (1) why the elections came out the way they did, and (2) how the various groups will/must respond in order to win next time. Also expect little of this to have much connection to reality.
On behalf of my fellow Floridians, and those folks in Ohio, I say : Peace, Peace at last ! No more robo-calls, no more mailings, no more nasty, negative commercials, and no more phony photo op visits !!! ( At least for nowā¦)
Does the past year remind anyone else of the dream episode of Dallas? You could wake up this morning and everything is just about the same as months ago, except for the redistribution of wealth from affluent individuals to Super Pacs to media outlets in the swing states.
Itās clear there are a number of you who need to take a few deep breaths and get some perspective on this. Weāre all in this life together ā like it or not. Weāll get further solving our collective problems with rational compromise and thoughtful acceptance. Peace ā not piecesā¦..
OK, Iāll take this bait.-You said, āIf you are Jehovahās Witness(es) you say, āThank you,ā and go on your way and just be happy that your faith is strong and hope the other personās is too.ā-This time of year we always just say āThank you.ā Emotions run hot and there is no need to get into any negative disagreements.-However, come February, when the credit card bills come in, people are much more willing to talk about it. ;-)
I feel like we need a new national holiday that follows election days that includes observing 24 hours of political silence. Maybe it would even include sharing a cup of coffee or a glass of beer with other people and focusing on what we have in common . . . wishful thinking, I know, but a person can dream.
At least Obama tried to create jobs! Ask the Sosandra workers in Illinois about Bain closing their factory this fall and sending the jobs to China. Then sending in the corporate goons to tell them to shut up or theyād close the plant THAT DAY and refuse to honor their pensions! A Romney/Republican wet dream !
O.K. I agree it does seem quiet, but just wait soon the quiet will be filled with Christmas carols ringing in the heads of people with Halloween hangovers and administration nightmares!
