Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 10, 2024

More fox than fox

Budding career as a spin doctor.

She definitely learned too much from Kellyanne Conway

If she didn’t watch the news, she would be totally ignorant of what is happening in the world. Given that she is going to school to learn, it seems like you would want her to know stuff.

Danae’s learning, all right. But she’s not learning the right things about the right stuff. She’s just learning the wrong stuff.

It’s not news, it’s propaganda.

Euphemisms should be cleaned regularly and flushed after each use. Even the banal ones.

I know who it sounds like she’s been watching.

She’ll make a fine lawyer and future politician after she’d disbarred

The euphemisms don’t change the reality of the situation, just the perception of the situation. Something people don’t realize until it is WAY too late.

Plaigirizing is stealing. It doesn’t matter which college you get to be elected to be the president of. Or to which college’s president you are elected.

The art of spin is equal parts corporate speak and politics. The two go hand in hand. And both use the same advertising firms.

Brother Bob does not want his niece to become another lawyer.

Yeah – you can call it what you like, it’s still illegal imprisonment and torture.

Just send her to her room without any media access…for the entire weekend. 48 hours deprivation is a good start.

Do we witness another offshoot to the Banality of Evil? A skunk cabbage by any other name … would stink as rank.

And never forget, “I don’t understand the question” really means “I don’t know the answer”.

Embrace “Truthiness” it’s much more convenient, than the truth thing.

Well, my idol, Stormy has finished her testimony. I’ll bet she said the same thing yesterday, that she said when the orange hog rolled offa her…“Thank God, that’s over.”

It’s hard to choose a quality that actually describes modern news speak. Kinda between banality and idiocy.

She needs some ‘me time’ in her room, without the phone or TV.

Unfortunately, what we are going through now has become the normal. It is no one’s fault except our own. “The government [country] you elect is the government [country] you deserve.”― Thomas Jefferson . But even even Jefferson didn’t know ignorance and banality was a winner as a political platform.

She’ll be a great republican

If banal euphemisms make the stock market go up, I’m for them

On TV news, they call things by extreme names to make relatively minor incidents seem worse than 911 or Pearl Harbor.

Aren’t those drinks rather far away??

OK, I get it, the message here is that the little girl is brainwashed and thoroughly corrupted by watching too much TV. In reality TV news is only a small part of the brainwashing and corrupting factor.

This comic series is a rerun from 2009. It is amazing how prescient Wiley is. Several comments have referenced recent news.

Brilliant!

If there’s one thing about Trump is that he doesn’t use euphemisms. He just straight out lies.

I concur, shut up Bob!

Ground her at an undisclosed location

Told ya. Danae is remarkably naive despite her intelligence.

Funny how unfunny it is when you’re living up to the eyeballs in Danaes.

Does anybody else realize that this is a complete repeat? Not just a little bit similar, a duplicate. I recognize that because it was one I really liked.

She’s had such a role model…and so many kids are the same.
