Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 03, 2011

I was wondering what we needed the Washington Monument for!

You’re forgetting Will Smith’s part.

Danae and Lila Mayfield must be comparing notes …

Is that what they’re teaching in American History now?

Is that Shrek in the second panel?

It’s true – just ask Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin!

A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away.

That’s why the colonials would said, “Halt! Friend or UFO?”

Good one JohnnyD!Revisionist history for the Texas schoolbook editors. Yeehaw!

Since I bashed feminists in the last strip, I will now say that the Washington Monument was built by Martha and the founding members of NOW to give males a sexual inadequacy complex.“Martha, you mean other men are that big?” Yes, George, I noticed at the Mall swimming hole. You should see how they stared at Dolly’s new suit exposing her ankles"

Time compression by Sarah Palin.

@Grog,Texas has their new textbooks. This is from Hollywood’s.

EXspireD.

U. S. History at its finest!

The WM a WMD? Could it be?

The follow up will be a gas attack from the Capitol building.

Danae’s views on history are usually a lot more interesting than what really happened. If schools were to adopt her views maybe kids would continue with aheir educarion and graduate. Hell, her views on everything are more interesting.

Why else would the Washington monument be shaped like that?

…cowboys and aliens…

..men in black(hats)…

Too bad that our textbooks try to condense all of history into a single volume, therefore leaving out what some consider relavant and ignoring what others care about… The way I study history now is to delve deeply into parts and eras that currently interest me so that I can brush over what currently does not. If history were taught that way, the “book” would be an outline and reading list for students; testing would have to be written essays and both students and teachers would be required…to THINK!

Makes about as much sense as what some would change the history books to.

Wiley must have finally seen the movie.

If Michelle Bachmann said it, Ronald Reagan would be at the controls inside the monument, telling George Washington to take notes!

close enough for government work

: ) Good one, Coyoty!

And libs carefully delete or "revise’ Christian contributions to the country as well so the Palin/Bachman (Turner Overheated) shots, while well deserved, should be leavened with the realization that both sides want their places in HIS-story written by their biased historians. Dear Danae would serve either side quite well.

Beam me up Scotty, there’s no intelligent life down here.

CM, folks that make that comment should remember that Scotty and kirk were Earthlings, too.

So that was in RR’s time?

Hopefully no rockets in the southwest which has seen enough fire for the at least the next 100 years

That’s why it has an Aluminum tip!

Danae’s an Historical reconstructionist…!!!!

and you know, since the WM is a private building, not government, that we paid out the a$$ for the mercenary work.

Carefull about saying Palin or Bachmann believe that or their supporters will try to change it on wikipedia.

I never even knew those red aircraft beacons were there until I went to DC and saw the monument in person. They didn’t have those when Washington was president.

Love it! :D

Danae, you’ve been watching too much Dr. Who. Which is British by the way.

I also thought the use of the WM was reminiscent of the movie “The Fifth Element”.

The best and most interesting history class IMHO, was taught by Robert Wuhl. " I sh.t you not". No one ever went to sleep in his classes. Too engaging. :=)

Too much to think…Not enough to drink…If history is the cause…Then let us all pause…That the premise is lame…But within the rules of the game…For some poor sci-fi scene…On the National green…Portraying fear of the unknown…Like a secret seed sown…With a twelve-year-old view…That smarter than me or you…Were the powder wigged set…And let us not forget…While their defences proved good…Most thought slavery also would…

Actually, I rather like this version!

Always wondered ‘why StarWars’ (the weapon system, not the movies). Contemplated writing the story of a new President’s first day, learning that [The Aliens Are Coming, and They Are Pissed!] (Classified Blue-Q3-Above Top Secret; Burn Before Reading).Decided if true, it shouldn’t be let out; if not, nobody would believe it, maybe not even Danae…

Isn’t this Michelle Bachmann’s version?
