Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 17, 2024

Blame Haitian Hot Dog Vendors.

We know about the butter-side down with toast, but do hot dogs always fall mustard-side down?

Somebody else’s fault

It’s a pork-barreling story leaked from a reliable sauce.

Blame it on Trump.

Oh, shouldn’t be THAT hard – you’ve only been doing it all your political career. I remember a couple of years ago we had very strong winds (ie gale force) that demolished a row of high tension electricity lines. A whole crew of politicians (the anti-renewable and anti-ecological lot) immediately blamed this catastrophe on the sustainable (wind farms, roof-top panels and such) lobby for the disaster. These were power grids transmitting electricity, mostly using coal-fired power stations, and had nothing to do with sustainable energy! Go figure.

Known in the swamp on the Potomac as the ‘fast lateral shuffle.’

He lost his wiener.

Typical politician: no attempt to clear up the mess he made, just decide who to blame.

Like so many politicians, he lost control of his sausage and wants to blame someone else…

Only the commonist-libril-leffwing media …

Faux News already is airing the story: “We have breaking news; another Congressman’s wiener has been exposed.”

He’ll use it to create a federally funded commission to investigate the tragedy and funnel money back to him.

I walked in the other night as the PBS Newshour was promoting a story about our “underserved rural communities“. I mean, I haven’t heard what those freeloading MAGAt hicks in a Midwestern diner think about in hours! I’m sure they were complaining about the Federal Government they hate and underfund.

Or Trump….

According to the widely popular George Carlin (search “Why Don’t I Vote? I’ll Let George Carlin Explain It To You”) the problem with politicians is ….. us:

“if you got selfish ignorant citizens, your gonna get selfish ignorant leaders …. And term limits aren’t going to save you because you are just going to get another bunch ….”

(Reminiscent of C. K. Chesterton’s, ""In one sense, and that the eternal sense, the thing is plain. The answer to the question, ‘What is Wrong?’ is, or should be, ‘I am wrong.’ Until a man can give that answer his idealism is only a hobby".)

Blame Climate Change.

Just pretend it didn’t happen at all and call it “FAKE NEWS!”

Its easy. Just do it. Like all the other times. It doesn’t matter any more.

He’ll use it to cut school funding

Because it’s SO obvious that the media is (still) unbiased…..

I wasn’t aware they needed a reason – or had the ability to come up with a reason – to blame the media. They just babble loudly and angrily about bias while the sheep nod and cheer.

Oh yeah, forgot “The View”s Sunny Hostin is blaming the media for Harris’ tanking polling numbers. Yep, blame the media.

Typical congressional non-responsibility.

Just change the subject. Of course you’ll look like a babbling incoherent idiot, but you’ll still get lots of votes

they have been looking for Sparky awhile. he was a hot - dog

Kosher hot dog lasers!!

Never let facts get in the way of accusing someone…

The media will find a way to blame it on President Trump

Is that Senator Vance trying to eat a dog?

If the Democrats are controlling “The Media”, what about Faux News? Oh, right, that’s not news, it’s “entertainment”… ☺

Blame the self regulated meat processes facility that focuses on profits over safety and quality controls

Tell them the flash of cameras was in your eyes!

Go ask Huma Abedin how to deal with a Weiner problem…

Perhaps if he had been reading Fox News while holding the phone in his other hand. :)

As if the Senator can’t afford to buy a NEW hotdog…or tube steak…or frankfuter…or Coney Island!!

Last time I bought a Chicago Dog they forgot to put the dog under 17 different kinds of condiments

Oh surely, if you republicans think that there are Jewish Space Lasers, that democrats control the weather and that there are The ‘Gazpacho Police’ then surely you can make up another one about dropping your wiener.

The CforK Dee Snider drawing by Don Simpson looks more anti-America – He’s trampling Ms Liberty. ??

1 track mind! ;-)

It’s easy to blame the media when they’re serving their greedy oligarch owners instead of the public interest

Oh NO! He’s eating DOGS!

Better to blame “A” past president.

Well, Wiley drew it…

I was expecting something about being a lawmaker and seeing the sausage being made…guess that generation has passed without passing its offline memes along…

But it does recall a couple of Saturdays ago: “No real American wants to know what’s in a hot dog.”
