Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 25, 2010

Those billionaires sure do lead a tough life!

You can buy it much cheaper in Vegas. Just ask Tiger Woo…Oh, bad example.

yeah, when she stops marrying for money.

I’m sure he can find some way to give her a disease.

The Krystal Klap?

Dog, that’s bad. Garry, you getting depressed or something?

You are the Crown of Creation You are the Crown of Creation and you’ve got no place to go.

Soon you’ll attain the stability you strive for in the only way that it’s granted in a place among the fossils of our time.

In loyalty to their kind they cannot tolerate our minds. In loyalty to our kind we cannot tolerate their obstruction.

Life is Change How it differs from the rocks I’ve seen their ways too often for my liking New worlds to gain My life is to survive and be alive for you.

Attribute your lyrics, man! Crown of Creation by Jefferson Airplane

RANDGRITHR Yes, do I remember Grace Slick advocating the violent overthrow of our nation? Ahh, yes the loving Left. “Hate the rich!” “Tax the rich!” “They are only a 2% minority, so they should be destroyed by the majority!” or in her words

Peace Love, & Dope folk. Manson, SLA, and SDS sure showed us how to throw off the Right.

Hope & Change!

Someone’s forgotten to take their meds again.

Lew… I remember those days too. Grace Slick SANG A SONG in which she fantasized overthrowing not the nation, but the powerful elite that ran it. While she was singing, the elite was using clubs, firehoses and guns on people who were gathering peacefully (according to their rights as guaranteed in the first amendment) to demand that the elite follow the laws and the Constitution.

Perchance are you familiar with the psychological phenomenon known as “elite panic”? It pretty much describes the current situation.

Thank you packratJohn

Lewreader, the 1960’s are over. Have been, for almost half a century now.

If one is married it sure pays to have the love of sex in common with one’s mate. Yeehaw!!!

PACKRATJOHN: Thank you for trying to teach good manners to somebody who thinks we have no memory.

thanks heeyuk!

I’m surprised Krystal can even find it under the voluminous folds of Jimmy’s martini-belly.

“she works hard for the money”

Why did someone have to mention the Airplane?

ahh, Lew, your arguments are maddening. Could you please explain how we will “destroy” anyone by asking for what amounts to pocket change? The rich remained rich when rates were 70-80-90%. The raise being discussed is a minor inconvenience, not an actual threat to their wealth.

The fact that this 2% minority has been thus far able to deny those who wish to let their sweet rate expire is a clear demonstration that they have way too much power already. Tens of thousands of gullible voters can be swayed by political adds paid for by a single uber-wealthy man. How does that square with “one man, one vote?”

The poor don’t have fleets of trucks wearing out the roads we all pay for. The poor don’t have millions of dollars worth of business and personal property that need police, fire and homeland security protection. The poor don’t need educated workers ready for hire. The poor don’t have investments that need the oversight of the SEC and others. A wealthy business man actually gets more services from the government than an unwed single mom on foodstamps. And that’s before we even start talking about corporate welfare, no-bid contracts and the like.

If those two don’t remind me of Archie & Edith Bunker…

Today’s strip is totally unrealistic. Why is Jim mixing a martini with the single malt from earlier in the day? I hope he had the sense to at least make it a vodka martini, because if he’s mixing gin with whiskey he’s likely to get sick.

With apologies to Jeff Air but everyday we quippers prove man is the CLOWN of creation.

Yeah, next time marry for money.
