Prickly City by Scott Stantis for July 29, 2022

I nominate “We A’int Gonna Take It”.

Something that ‘helps all our citizens’?

Sounds like Stantis has become communist.

I guess she’s not a Libertarian any more.

Vecna? They are running against an undead Lich-God from the Forgotten Realms?

Yeah, you’ve got WAY more problems than just what political party you’re supporting at THAT point.

I nominate “we We will rock you”!

Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes. With all of our running, and all of our cunning, if we could not laugh, we would all go insane.

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.

What or who is VECNA?

Yes, let us strike a wise compromise between “Veterans with long-term illnesses from exposure to toxic substances should be eligible for health care support” and “Screw it, let them die.” That is clearly the best way to determine policy.

Kung Fu. Well, that was one of my good ones. What’s a few broken bones when we all know it’s good clean fun?

Skateboards. I’ve nearly made them respectable. You see, I can’t always get through to you, so I go for your son.

“I’m the Man,” Joe Jackson

The conservatives are right about slippery slopes. That’s why we need liberal lifelines.

This seems like a good place to repeat my call that “Freebird” be named our new national anthem.

Seriously, every time we win a gold medal at the Olympics, the athlete stands on the podium and shouts “WHAT SONG IS IT YOU WANNA HEAR?” How cool would that be?

A Stranger Things inside reference.

Those cats were fast as lightning.

“Some from one side and some from the other” is the laziest thing possible. No need to try and discern the best ideas, just grab from both sides and that will work out and make everyone happy. How would Stantis reconcile “let’s give toxic poisoned vets healthcare” and “let’s not give toxic poisoned vets healthcare”? Or “let’s not even vote on marriage equality because the other side wants to spend some money and raise some taxes”. Sheesh #BothSidesDont

Given the lyrics of “Kung Foo Fighting”, I’d say the song was “lovingly racist”.

Despite the stock poses, Carmen seems to come alive briefly, possibly due to the Alice Otterloop eyes.

Stanti, should we start with the election was stolen from the Reicht?:
