Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

You canât actually forgive a drunk for doing something stupid, because he brought his condition on himself â but you can understand that he might not act the same way if sober.
Some people like the comfortable falsehoods, like:
âThe Crime rate keeps going up!â (fact: It peaked in 1990, and is now at 1970 levels)
âThere arenât enough workers because people are still living off the stimulus checkâ (Fact: A huge number of people took early retirement when COVID hit (3x as many people retired in 2020 as in typical years), and over 1 million more are on COVID related disability)
Is it okay to think that at least some of the wildfire problem in California has to do with poor forest management? Or is man-made climate change the only acceptable possible cause?
Drunk on the Kool-Aid is another matter altogether! Imagine being so gullible that you let a bunch of greedy rich people and corporate interests convince you that your neighbor is your enemy out to get you. Just so they can cling to power and keep getting handouts and bailouts stolen from the hard working taxpayer. Weâve been letting them rob us blind for 43 years, increasing their already vast fortunes with our blood and sweat. The GOP has unfairly used these tax breaks for the rich as an excuse for stimulating economic growth. Has it helped any one but them? Worse yet they hold onto these billions becoming ever greedier and losing any sense of shame and humanity in the process!
I donât know, I just donât know. Maybe Gavin bought some Jewish Space Lasers to distract from his asinine policies preventing sensible wildfire control. I certainly wouldnât put it past him.
There is a reason conspiracy theories are so popular: people donât like thinking. Itâs hard work. People donât want to take the time out to apply the scientific method.
When something happens, people want a SIMPLE explanation as to WHY it happens. Conspiracy theories gives them SIMPLE answers.
I am a believer in Occamâs Razor that states that the simplest answer is usually the right answer. However, there is a caveat to that statement has to explain why the event happened adequately. Also conspiracy answer is only the simplest on the surface. For example we all know that ancient astronauts built the great pyramids (no evidence required). To think that the Egyptians were smart enough to do it themselves makes us have to answer HOW did they do it.
So rather than explain Climate Change, give people an answer they can like. It doesnât matter that it is wrong. Once you tell them what to believe, they will disregard all fact to the contrary.
In fact, since the scientific method often produces results people donât like (like they are at fault for something), people reject science altogether. Itâs a liberal plot made up by a deep state that controls everything.
I never thought a day would come that Iâd prefer to hear people grousing about some sports game they had no participation in. Outside of a bet on the next round with your bar buddy. More pretzels, please.
Mikeâs eval is simple: if a person canât give a straight answer to a clearly absurd question, he/she is not up to handling something like alcohol. Maybe questions like those should be on applications one has to complete to become a candidate in any political arena. Wafflers are a danger to any political system.
âAre the California wildfires caused by Jewish Space Lasers?"
I Wish! Because, you know, that means we have Space Lasers that can beem energy down to earth at such sustained power to start fires. Just think of all we could do with that â it can be harness to power cities and reduce the needs for non-sustainable fuels (e.g. fossil). And the technology not only to build it but to get it secretly into space? massive uses for us all and for future generations.
âJewish space lasersâ? Iâm way more worried about the dinosaur dirty bomb that is poisoning our atmosphere and trying to warm the planet back to the Jungles of before time. (Yeah, smog and global warming)
