Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 06, 2014

Still got Inhofe, but have to replace Coburn. But the list is just too long of who they’ve got already! That’s not “political” at this point, merely diagnostics.DSM time.

Old white guys. I think we can figure out where they’re from.

Well, at least the party hacks have finally learned to look in the right place!

Those were Franz von Papen’s parameters, just before he chose Hitler.

The all new Klown Kar O’ Krazies…coming to the The Repubican Convention in 2016.

@exoticdoc2 is correct.

Hiring another idiot that will do as they SAY…and not think about it until someone takes a shot at them..Its a wonder that Since Kennedy, no one rides in the open..

I do lean more towards the liberal side, but see that, uncomfortable as it may be, we do need this see-saw of power for balance..We need the Republicans to temper our sense of entitlement and foster accountability..We need the Democrats to foster our sense of compassion and equality for those less fortunate..

Hey, it worked when they got the Dub-ya. Stick with tried and true.

Check the Ivy League Class of ’92. They should be ripe.

I hear Jim Carrey is looking for a job.

I love it when jobs are lost, its the Presidents fault..When jobs are created, “Hey, let’s give more takes breaks to the rich.”.With the Reagan/GWB tax breaks for the top 2%, college tuition is so high that the grads are $10s of thousands in debt..So they can’t buy the new cars, homes etc, thus slowing down the economy..In the 50s-mid 80’s it wasn’t that expensive to go to college.Many could work summer jobs to earn enough for next years expense..Not any more..The one thing that has to go is the 15% tax rate for Capital Gains Tax or allowing Corps to ‘move over seas’ to avoid taxes all together..Until this is fixed, the nation will never be totally back on its feet.

Controllable crazy w/a nice smile: That is MY job description at work! Forwarding this to the H. R. next -

So, that’s how it ’s done!

I think it’s stupid to argue about which political party the cartoon depicts when everyone agrees this country is in a real mess. Instead of all of this back and forth nonsense, jump into your local political arena and work to change things there. Tip O’Neill was right: “All politics is local”.

The job description for a politician does require some psychopathic tendencies…and a nice smile shouldn’t be too hard… psychopaths are frequently described as “charming”… the difficulty comes in when you want someone predictable/controllable. They usually seem to manage, though.

Howard Dean’s not doing much of anything at the moment.

That’ll be a nice change. The old Tea Party doofuses never smiled.

Seems like as good a place as any to find a political candidate.

As the billionaires order their white man…….

I thought they were looking for “extras” to be the background for their candidate’s speeches and rallies. That is how they do it at first, anyway, isn’t it? Hire them?

Don’t forget Hair, he needs good hair… And the ability to read from a teleprompter.

“But, don’t you know? NOTHING bad EVER happened before January 20, 2009. Somehow, if you listen to the righties, President Obama caused the war of 1812.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~As I understand, it he also caused World Wars II and III.

(Also the Crusades.)

Controllable crazy, with a nice smile?Folks, your search is over!I give you, JOE BIDEN!!!!

Back to the comic itself; the upcoming administration already has hundreds to choose from – why go looking outside???

“You are part of a losing ideology. You splutter and spout, but Americans TOTALLY rejected Obama’s course and vision. You lobbies love numbers almost as much as free stuff, so I’ll give you something. Those who self identify as Republican make up only 30% of the electorate. So, Independents and some democrats supported the repudiation of things Obama. As to “old white guys”, do you know Harry Reed and Joe Biden? How about “RICH old white women”, like Hillary and Pelosi.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I am an American. I did NOT reject Obama. It’s not my fault that stupid, ignorant people .make up the majority.And speaking of rich, white people, it’s strange that you left out the Koch Brothers, who have enough money to buy the country — and did!

Meh… a little column A; a little column B.

I’m thinking Ted Cruz is the perfect candidate.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

ROFL! ROFL!!!

What rock have YOU been living under these last thirty years?

How about Steve Martin? He could play his banjo in the Rose garden for the street walkers who carry protest signs.

‘lobbies’? Is that a new kind of crustacean?

Sarah Palin has her moments of clairvoyance. On the 2012 campaign trail when gas was $4.50 a gallon, she told people that if they voted for Romney/Ryan, gas would be under $3.00 within two years. My neighbors took her advice and voted for Romney/Ryan, and sure enough …..I guess I need to remember to thank them.

I know that this may not read by all the political bias posters,but didn’t Wiley proclaim (a year or two ago ) that his toons were NOT political ?

Has anyone( besides me) noticed that that his toons HAVE becomed politized !

Wiley: thus was actually the intent of my DSM commentary, but isn’t the group of selectors oft just as crazy as the potential candidate? (all parties, and the basic qualification for office is narcissistic tendencies?)

Well, since rick scott asked, here are the 10 wealthiest members of Congress in 2014:

1) Rep. Darrell Issa (R-California) — Net Worth: $357.25M

2) Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) — Net Worth: 117.53M

3) Rep. John Delaney (D-Maryland) — Net Worth: $111.92M

4) Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia) — Net Worth: $108.05M

5) Sen. Mark Warner (D-Virginia) — Net Worth: $95.13M

6) Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colorado) — Net Worth: $73.56M

7) Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) — Net Worth: $62.02M

8) Rep. Scott Peters (D-California) — Net Worth: $45.04M

9) Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) — Net Worth: $43.72M

10) Rep, Suzan DelBene (D-Washington) — Net Worth: $37.89M

Here’s the source: http://www.rollcall.com/multimedia/-236028-1.html

Rep. Darrell Issa has more money than the top 3 Democrats put together, including a Rockefeller.

“party’s” should have been spelled, partys’ – Wiley misplaced the apostrophe.

You’re welcome, but I didn’t post it to raise any hopes. The D’s and R’s really get mixed further down this detailed list.

The amount of wealth doesn’t concern me as much as how they obtained the wealth, where they stand on policies, what organizations they’re in bed with (figuratively), and how well they do their bloody jobs. I certainly wouldn’t mind them being taxed more since any one of them have more money than my entire community will ever see, and put that money towards something other than the banks and the military.

I’ve said it before – here and other places – there is only one real solution to all this – split the country in two, and see which approach to things does better. If we don’t do that, the only other course of action will have to be civil war. I would prefer the less bloody, less violent way but …

You’d never make light of cancer patients; why pick on the mentally ill? You’re perpetuating the stigmatization of mental illness, which is beneath you.

… and great hair!
