Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 26, 2010
Transcript:
Man 1: Another outbreak of honesty and integrity, sir... Man 2: How bad? Man 1: Umm... it's on TV now, sir. Man 2: OK...What's this? Man 1: The news, sir. Man 2: Wait... what? Are those reporters... Starting to do their job? What happened?! Kate: Whoa... you really like cable news, eh, Ekert? Ekert: Urp. A non-stop feigned outrage buffet... What's not to like? Danae: Ooh... Try radio now. Meanwhile, in the Megaconglomecorp situation room, the hunt for the Ekert continues...

I think we’re going to need a bigger couch.

Love this one. (and it meshes well with Doonesbury today) I too long for a day of real news, not things blown up to be “crises” that are really nothing more than ant hills, regular black ants, not fire ants!

I predict Ekert is going to explode and then there will be two Ekerts. The need is overwhelming!

Once the Ekert encounters talk radio, he’s going to be more like a whale than an elephant.

Ekert appears to be of Indian origin, African Elephants ought to have bigger ears.

So which truths did the reporter tell?

What would it take to sic him on Mad-Dog Keith Olbermann?

Sorry but we have now reached logical fallacy. First Ekert had to be released in order to work; Two, he is now able to effect TV from a non-personal contact as shown in Panel 4; Three he is now too large to exit through any doorway or window. Logical conclusion: We are going to have to learn to love a ‘Good’ Danae and Joe is going to have to buy a replacement house, this one is doomed!

Honesty and integrity are nearly extinct.

Then there is the RABID DOG Andrew Breitbart whose lies via vicious editing, turns a splendid story of honest reconciliation into a libelous truth killing story of “reverse” racism.

The sickest commentary almost always comes FROM THE RIGHT!!!
The myth of the “liberal media” is another curious and maddening example of how the bigger the lie the more the belief.
See Machiavelli’s “The Prince.”

Sorry guys. I’m a liberal and I realize that Obermann can fake outrage with the worst of the rabble rousers.

Katie, get off the couch quickly before Ekert gets bigger and bigger; otherwise, it will squeeze you flat like a piece of paper. Ooh my! Ekert, the white biggest elephant-fairy! Sometimes, Ekert will be exploded.

Ekert came to my house right before she asked
DOES THIS SPANDEX MAKE ME LOOK FAT?Dtroutma over 14 years ago
the Oregonian???? Olberman shows outrage, but at least gets a few facts in his COMMENTARY- which doesn’t pretend to be “news”.
It isn’t just on the TV, but on the street as well. The sad fact is that poor Ekert will soon undoubtedly over-eat on the opportunities and explode like a pinata!
lazygrazer over 14 years ago
OMG!—Ekert needs to be neutralized before honesty and integrity destroy everything we have built!

Send the Ekert to the Middle East ASAP. The Israelis & Palestinians are at it AGAIN
