Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 13, 2010
Transcript:
Man: Our only hope to stop the Ekert's scourge of niceness, gentlemen, is to find the anti-Ekert. Man: Um... how, sir? Where do we even start? Man: He'll be on whose soulless, uncaring egocentricity is so impenetrable that he's immune to the Ekert's spiritual power. Man: These days, that's an awfully big haystack to find a needle in, sir... Man: I know, I know. We'll begin by searching in the most obvious professions. Man: Legal and cable news... on it, sir. Meanwhile, in the Megaconglomecorp boardroom...

The anti-ekert is sitting right in front of you in the big chair, guys.

My first thought was: AL FRANKEN!
My second thought was: Ann Coulter!
Then Rush. Then Nancy Grace. Then … I realized they have plenty to choose from.

The Anti-Ekert has the advantage in this contest, but maybe the Ekert can prevail, at least for a while!

I would recommend a particular Fire Dept. in Tennessee.
rockngolfer over 14 years ago
I don’t think the Ethicist, Randy Cohen has written a column about the Tenn. fire but that would be a great subject.

Just learned that the “Where’s Mohammed?” panel from Sunday, October 3 was pulled from a number of print editions of newspapers. Running away from free speech and open dialog; yeah, that’s the American way.

The tea-partiers who call all programs that might benefit one poor person unconstitutional, conveniently overlooking the line in the preamble, “…promote the general Welfare…”. Anti-Ekerts all.

I disagree with the majority of the choices made. They don’t meet both qualifications. Soulless, although they may be, Uncaring is also important. They just care about things you don’t understand. Most of these people actually believe they’re doing some good. For a few select people, but still. Not understanding someone’s point of view is not the same as being uncaring.

WaitingMan: It says PROMOTE not PROVIDE! It also says PROVIDE the common defense but you liberals hate that.

The second panel describes the current administration to a “T”. Just go to the White House and be overwhelmed.

i think i’ll wait for Wiley to reveal, rather than speculate. of course, since i’m a Canadian, Stephen Harper seems to be the biggest boogie man to the pundits i’m familiar with.

And again Wiley reveals his liberal bias against the business world which he adamantly denies.

Sean Hannity

As long as your readers feel like they feel knowledgeable and involved in the business arena…

Republican ends with “I can” American ends with “I can” Democrats ends with “rats” time to clean house.
AKHenderson Premium Member over 14 years ago
I think the anti-Ekert is either a New York City cab driver, or the guy who invented shrink-wrap packaging for DVDs .
Seed_drill over 14 years ago
All the dorks bashing Obama here apparently have forgotten that Wiley’s already established that the White House and Congress are wholly owned subsidiaries of Megaconglomecorp.

@AKHenderson - I’m with you!

I would have said me, since I’m a cynical, nihilistic misanthrope, but he said “egocentric.” My ego is more shriveled than a raisin on an Egyptian sidewalk…hence why I hate humanity so much.

Don’t forget banking and politics.

Giving away my age but what about O.J.? And no kiddies, I do not mean orange juice, I mean “The Juice”.

Not sure where all the political suggestions are coming from - as jack75287 suggested, there’s a good chance that it is Bob, Joe’s brother. We got a pretty strong hint for that about a week ago in one of the strips. We were told to look for an apathetic personality (not just a personality we don’t happen to personally like….) Although I actually kind of like Bob - he doesn’t seem particularly evil (and he didn’t strike me as egocentric, exactly). Anyway, it will be fun seeing how this goes!

“Legal and cable news.” They’re closing in on Danæ’s family. Uncle Nixon. Daddy’s show. It’s the kid with the skull on her shirt.

I saw a news article about the FD where they refused to extinguish a fire because homeowner had not paid their “fee” upfront (that house burned down, but nextdoor was protected because they had paid.) There were many comments that they should have taken care of it and THEN charged the owners (not just let it burn). I see all the news ;-)

There’s only one obvious anti-Ekert and that has to be Donald Trump.
