FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for November 08, 2011

Hey, he’s keeping his eyes on the road…..

l have a collection photo still of Katie Kouric on the news wiping a tear away when announcing that Gore had lost the election. ROTFLMBO

Maybe he’ll reveal it in a Sunday cartoon – they’re still current.

It wouldn’t have counted anyhow.

Political Mushroons, they sprout every where..\\//_

When it comes to Roger, I’m surprised that he even remembers where he lives.

We are bomabrded with so many political ads for so long, that we close our eyes and ears to the whole thing. It’s the law of diminishing returns. Debates should be better thtan ads, but there are too many and it’s too early and they’re still going for the sound bite that will make the news, not in depth discussion. Less is more. Maybe that’s why Les is Moore.

Yikes! Wrong comic strip. The last sentence refers to Funky Winkerbean which is also about voting today.

I wish I could ignore the political adds. I try to be neutral on who I vote for. Republics are not doing that great. That is why I try to ignore. Our country is in major trouble.

For a strip that was published 11 years ago, thankfully we won’t have to worry about the Presidental election until next year.

The problem with most political jokes is that they get elected.

wow! i didn’t realize these foxtrot classics were so prehistoric until today! ha! oh well, they are still funny!

I’d love to see a study of the effectiveness of political signs in the right-of-way. If all of my neighbors have signs in their yard supporting a specific candidate, then I might be led to believe that that candidate may have some merit (assuming that I have some esteem for my neighbors). But political signs in the right-of-way mean merely that the campaigner or at least one supporter has enough time, money, and disdain for the community to pollute our roadways with visual noise. It’s a complete waste.

[Face-palm …]

Florida Democrats tried to do an end run around the Constitution that would have violated the voting rights of Florida voters.The Supreme Court called them on it.

Florida had two choices under Federal and Florida laws:

Submit the Electoral College votes for Bush, given him the victory.

Not submit the EC votes from Florida, thereby disenfranchising the whole state in the Presidential election (yes that is legal), and turning the election over to the House.

The whole problem comes down the “winner take all” system used by most states.

If the EC votes were apportioned by Congressional Districts, as the Founding Fathers intended, the results of the EC votes would more closely match the popular vote.

Only five votes counted anyway. it’s probably better Roger came straight home to a yummy supper of tofu stew.

Now I know why Obama won.
