Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 03, 2009

That would certainly be an apocalypse, now wouldn’t it?

baslim, that’s why he hopes he doesn’t get ordered to try!

When you don’t want to win a war, just declare it unwinnable. Who woulda guessed Gary Trudeau would agree with George Will?

He DOESN”T. He is merely recounting what our CIA guys have been saying since the mid 1990’s, what the KGB has been saying long before that.

“You’ve just committed one of the classic blunders. The most well-known is, ‘Never start a land war in Asia.’ But only slightly less well-known is, ‘Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!’”

And never invade Russia in the winter.

And “When you have to shoot , shoot, don’t talk.”

^ Who’s dat dude with the eyebrows, Hipster? I’ll have to change my pic to that of Don Van Vliet for a real winnin’ tag team~

that’s Frank Zappa front man for the Mother’s of Invention. Form the 60’s hard rock era

In college (circa 1972) my music professor said if Beethoven were alive today he would be Frank Zappa.

Such was his admiration for Zappa’s musical mind.

And let’s not forget the Old Hipster’s (sorry, I mean Frank Zappa’s) four kids, Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. It TAKES a different kind of mind to name your children this way.

Play nice, children.
