Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 21, 2013
Transcript:
"The Center for Inspirational Ideas held its first annual Inspirational Ideas symposium. 'I would like to improve living conditions in Africa through sustainable green energy.' Yaaaaaaay. 'I would like to teach people to meditate in a way that raises our collective consciousness.' Yaaaaaaaay. 'I would like to teach disadvantaged children to express themselves through art.' Yaaaaaaay. 'And I would like to sit around in my underwear and drink beer.'" Goat: 'And the center banned the drunk donkey for life.' Rat: Poor Danny. He's so ahead of his time. Pig: I'd look soooo good in tighty whities.

Itās not a spam posting. Itās a crossover, as Sherlock could have told us. Pastis and a couple Pearls characters appear there today.

Agreed. My fianceeās family is all against nuclear (they are German where the Green party is in power) but I think itās a good thing. Iām just reading an ebook at the moment called āNuclear 2.0: Why A Green Future Needs Nuclear Powerā which says amongst other things that most of the nuclear power plants that have either been shutdown or cancelled in Africa have been replaced with coal burning plants.
Iām all for clean eco power but the only solution for carbon-neutral power has nuclear as part of it.

Why āenormous investmentsā? Because you require to live a life of ease? Go to kiva.com and help somebody else who doesnāt have your mental problems. Sorry, but this is just stupid. Too many other options, and what do you do with a ādeadā nuclear reactor? Weāve got a couple in WA, wanna buy them?

Should I stand and salute for āIād like to teach the world to singā? Our King Barack I wants to make that the national anthem.

These animals go around completely naked all the time anyway, so why would they want to wear underwear?

Without electricity most of the farm land would be semi-arid brush; except in the rare year when it would be flooded.

lol. Nope.1. California leading agricultural state, both in quantity and diversity of crops. Iowa grows a lot, but itās mostly corn, and in overall volume still less than CA.2. California is not broke. Budget is near balanced ā for now. Of course, in CA, as in all states, increasing number of retiree pensions will grow over time, challenging every stateās budget.Re āsocialismā . . . you realize of course, that all of these are āsocialismā: Social Security, Medicare, VA and military pensions, air travel safety, highway and road repair, disaster relief, courts & judges, disease-free drinking water, disease-free food, police and fire protection, etc etc. āSocialismā.

Itās so nice to be a mom to adult sons. They achieve Dannyās goal nearly every day. The only realist at the table.
corzak over 11 years ago
lol . . . oh, and by-the-way, all those states in the Midwest, growing all the corn and soybeans . . . enjoy massive agricultural subsidies from both state and federal taxpayers. Socialism.

I canāt help but feel like there was a really bad pun in this strip today, but I missed it. Drunk-ass centrists?
