Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 27, 2022

sounds about right.

Pass the beer. Or should that be pass the Wiley bear.

My Phillies are in the World Series, and my Eagles have the best record in the NFL at 6-0.

And the politicians know how many eyeballs are watching sports so guess where they advertise

With all the mud slinging, I have to clean out my TV every day.

Not following the news gives you ignorant viewers. (Fox Spews in not news)

And all the big-money financiers behind those endless, massively irritating commercials hope in their heart of hearts that they’ll turn so many people off of politics that they’ll stay home on Nov. 8 and not vote. Do you want to reward their efforts by doing what they want?

I ran for class president…but the eraser got more votes than I did.

If I really loved baseball, I wouldn’t be a Padres fan.

He shoots … He scores!

And the Phillies win the first game of the World Series!

Wiley knows his team is going to lose.

Political ads/programs and a herd of cows have one thing in common, they both leave a lot of mess behind.

If I want a break from political news I’d rather watch old shows like Frasier. Get some much needed good laughs

With any luck, the Bruins will have a good season. We need something to make up for the dismal Red Sox and Patriots.

And the news only covers and only gives you meaningless numbers and never the actual news behind the issues

Anything is better than the endless nattering about some game.

For some people it’s hard to see that red wave coming…

In Rhode Island, there’s a guy Fung running for office. One of his arguments for voting for him is ‘’… Rhode island hasn’t had a republikan congressman since 1947. They need me…’’

Extend that logic and argument and we get ‘’Honey we haven’t had Food Poisoning in 30 years, lets go to a really bad diner, whaddya say?’’

Start with the orange head

You need to record games so you can fast forward the fing political ads

All we need is more low information voters. Being sarcastic.

Sports are even more boring than the politicians.

Does anyone else sort of miss the good ol’ days when all we heard about was Paris Hilton or that Jersey shore bunch? …sigh.

So far, my favorite “sports shoe” story of the year is Kanye getting escorted out of Skechers headquarters after showing up unannounced. :)

(imagines a different version of some of the dialogue in this cartoon)

GAH! CHANGE THE CHANNEL TO A BALL GAME!

My morning drive time radio announcer on tuesday made the comment he’d be glad when it was over because he was sick of all the ads for both sides.

of course in philly, the Phillys are going to the world series. the soccer team- the union-and in their play offs and the Eagles are undefeated so it’s a really hyped up city.

How did all the JUMP START comments get over here?

At the risk of being switched to a ^&* ball game , the midterms, are coming up, and as sick as we all are of the ads, it is important: Save America, defeat all RepubliQans!

Movie channel is horror movies there is nothing worth watching or listening to—-turn off in protest.

Sports is always a great distraction from the news…until players, teams or leagues decide to make political statements.

give them bread and circuses and they will forget all else

I’ve been doing some canvassing for a local political organization. People out there are sick of the ads and just want the election over. I offer them up my solution to their suffering:

I haven’t had a TV in over 5 years.

Amen to that!

Just give me Law & Order SVU reruns.

Team sports generally bore me (unless it’s a cat that scores the soccer goal).

Why can’t we go back to civilized sports, like rapier dueling?

No, TV wresting is kayfabe.

“Every nation has the government it deserves.” – Joseph de Maistre

Many years ago in a bar, if you brought up the subject of religion or politics, you would be kicked out.

I prefer football (or soccer for those in the US or Australia, etc). Regular season is 10 months long with international tournaments played during the other two months. So there is always a game on year round and the only commercials are during halftime when they can be easily ignored, muted, or fast forwarded over.
