Deserters?

Like a broken record.

That Sarah Palin Doll seems to be even less functional than the celebrity after which it was modeled.

Let it go, Garry! You’ve been tacky long enough…

So it will be with the real tea parties. The old folks will die in God’s good time and the kids will wonder what all the fuss was. So it has always been, so it will always be. Who remembers the Know-Nothing party in this generation? http://www.encyclopediaofalabama.org/face/Article.jsp?id=h-1138

VB: maybe more dessert-ers?

Groan @ Baslim…..Hey, is it my dirty mind or is the Sarah doll in a bit of a provocative position (and repeating “rammed through”??) Do ya think that means she knows she’s screwed? LOL

Penguin, those were my thoughts, too. And she’s wearing jodhpurs. Is she the dominatrix?

I too wondered about the image combined with the “broken record” repetition.

“Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” - Justice Louis Brandeis

This is a great cartoon. Love ya GT!

rammed through , hm? and the alaskan barbie in a suspiciously provocative pose?

nah, just our dirty minds interpreting it that way…

incidentally: TEABAGGERS TEABAGGERS TEABAGGERS TEABAGGERS

please , oh god please don’t flag me….I was lost and now I’m found, I’ll never refer to such a noble, worthwhile group of fine ,upstanding, concerned and compassionate americans as TEABAGGERS ever ever again

swear to god!

Penguin, Brian, Coot. The lady made her spurs being the “younger woman” second wife image with McCain. I suspect someone noticed all those undertones in her career. Kind of like the guys who sold the nutcrackers with HC’s name or image on them…This will only happen in real life if the ADULTS wake up.

Gary and the DNC are obsessed with Sarah. Do I detect fear?

Just a reminder of the alternatives. What do you want, this?

Smooth as all get out.

cabrobst? “the old folks will die…???” and somehow the “kids will wonder…???”

I have the distinction of being the oldest of the people in the department where I work as a network administrator. I sit in awe of people who know so little of their history and are so venal about the poor and those needing help. I have railed at these simply stupid notions since they came slithering out of their little warrens. I continue to ask what it is they want to give up to “get things right.”

I never get answers. Only slimy little critters with wide, staring eyes, running back under the rocks from whence they emerged until I go back to the work of the day which happens to be running a Hyper-V system and seeing to our WSUS environment. I do that because none of the “kids” has the patience to figure it out or the time since they are so busy whining about being in a society that isn’t free.

I have long told folks I grieve for my country. Time to stop now and let the “kids” do it…

Sorry nighthawks, I don’t care about the TEA Party one way or the other and I actively dislike Palin, but I also find obscenities offensive, so I flagged you.

Do you think it’s somehow “cute” to use an obscenity that won’t get bleeped? Your post made it clear that you are not ignorant of what that term means.

FriscoLou – good hunting! You bagged it!

You know, if you go back far enough, the slang gets even better. Fifty years ago or more, “tea” was slang for marijuana – so “tea party” would, I guess, suggest a celebration of beatniks and hippies…. Class: compare and discuss. :)

cabrobst: No doubt you’re right. Is that supposed to make us feel better in the moment?

legacyshooter: I gather that we’re of an age, and I empathize. All that we can do, in the end, is *be* the example of what we want to see in others. They’ll finally catch on, or they won’t, but we’ll have done what we can. “…and having done everything that you can, to stand.”

Why does the mini guv remind me of Peggy Hill?

Tea parties are for little girls with imaginary friends.

They’re all just a pack of cards & will blow away.

3hour: just don’t draw any pictures for them and you’re okay. :-)

Yeah 3hour, if there were any lessons learned after South Park, it’s you can’t say “any old thing” in a comic setting any more.

nighthawk ought to get with the times, by channeling his “inner-Anne Frank” by going on the “down low” and refrain from “counter-reactionary” expressions. Don’t forget we’re at the 35th anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the commissars are having a little crackdown on some Buddhist with counter-revolutonary “South Park behavior” there too.

And the forum “Man” is just as bad here.

“Gary and the DNC are obsessed with Sarah. Do I detect fear?

No, that’s frivolity you detect… dear.

SNL rule: end the skit when you’ve run out of ideas. This strip ran two days too long.

~~~~~.but SNL doesn’t always leave ‘em laughing.

we wuv you Sarah@wasilla

Ah, cabrobst, but then the young become old and the cycle repeats!

Nice message, GT… about same thing I tell my kids: by the light of day, we find out there was no boogey man in the closet, no monsters under the beds, only a lot of what we bring in, ourselves.
