Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 27, 2011

You limo will be provided by the Sanitation Department; it will take you to the ash heap of history.

 Do I love this perspicacious child? Are W, Dick, Colon and Condoleezza all out of office? Did Arthur C. Clarke write “Childhood’s End”? As soon as she’s 35 years old: SAM FOR PRESIDENT.

Since I don’t follow Muir, I find him a bit ambiguous re Palin in the referred strip: Assuming that the woman to Ms. President’s right is her daughter, what is the daughter’s wish? Is the strip meant to be ironic and satirical dream (nightmare) sequence? And: Is the black infant Ms. President is holding a veiled reference to her own alleged dalliance with a black basketball star?

The characters in the last panel of Muir’s strip are 2 regular characters. The redhead’s wish was that Palin would have run and been elected President in 2012. The black child is the other woman’s child (her husband is black).

Muir’s pathological obsession for Palin is only equalled by his psychotic hatred of Obama. In previous scripts he has accused Obama of shutting down lemonade, responsible for the persecution of Christians in Libya, and not handling the death Kim Jong Il effectively.

 “They shall have stars at elbow and foot;Though they go mad they shall be sane”. —The real Dylan Thomas, “And Death Shall Have No Dominion”. Born October 27, 1914, Swansea, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Died November 9, 1953, age 39, of “a massive alcoholic insult to the brain” (according to the doctor), Manhattan, NY, USA (while on a reading tour).

Maybe Sarah Doll shouldn’t have tried to mutiny and overthrow Sam.

Whew! If the three daily strips of “Day by Day” I viewed are representative of the strip as a whole, then “DBD” makes “Mallard Fillmore” look like “Tom the Dancing Bug.”

Well, Sarah seems to have built herself another “Bridge to Nowhere,” using gobs of other folks’ money. I wonder: If she could connect her new BTN up to the old one, would it take us all right back to where we were before?

I was going to comment on the strip, but my oatbran muffin just kicked in.

It’ll be a squoosh limo.

WOW! The mere mention of Sarah activates the socialists in droves!!!

I left this elsewhere, but you guys might enjoy Rachael Maddows reaction to Fox News and “DEATH” Palin on the President’s Christmas card.

I’m just glad she’s not recycling that doll.

Sorry. No sympathy. I’m an independent contractor with pre-existing condition. I pay all medical costs out of pocket. Republicans are telling me there’ll be NO Medicare for me AT ALL when I retire in 15 years (or 17, if retirement age raised). Social Security gone too if they have their way.Current retirees are receiving triple what they put into the system. Take the money Sharuniboy and be happy. I’m paying for you AND for the crooked bankers, CEOs, etc.And I’ll get nothing in return, apparently. Ever.

“if god blesses me to be hot again”. good writing.

So she throws away a box of perfectly good dolls, instead of donating them? How sad.

Met Palin in AK when she was running for something. I mean, shook hands in a coffee shop. Nothing much there. Conservatives are easily swayed. Mostly by their ears, I think. I don’t know if I’ve ever met a real socialist. Biden, is being able to spot socialists like having ‘gaydar’? You’d know, wouldn’t you?

To seek a “braver newer world”. Huxley was being socially satirical in his 1931 novel “Brave New World” — RFK wasn’t.

“Who knows what havoc she might wreak on the next child who gets her?” Gonna be fun watching Doll Palin burrow her way through 20 feet of dozer-compacted garbage to the surface of the dump! (Hi, babygirl! —dtπ.)

Agreed.

Premature. Sarah is still good for a lot more laughs. See above!

@leftwingpatriot, @DT3.1 . . . lol! i’m not mad at you two! I’m a bit cranky today. Blood sugar issues.

My grandparents are deceased, parents deceased; no children. I have a pre-exisitng condition. I pay for ‘treatment’ out-of-pocket, so it’s insufficient (I know the prices DT!). Even if there was something waiting for me at 65, it’s unlikely that I’ll make it there. (I should have started retirement planning at age 22.)As an contractor, I pay (what is for me) a good chunk of taxes, with the feeling that it’s money spent on others’ well-being, not my own.I guess I’m perturbed at what appears to be a breaking of the social contract, and that from now on it might be every man for himself. But that is the ‘human normal’ for most of human history, and in most countries today . . .

@leftwingpatriot, @DT3.1, It not the taxes that bothers me. If I knew my taxes were going to investment in the nation’s future, to innovation and worker re-training, to universal healthcare and public education, I’d be proud and thrilled to be paying.

Say hello to Ron Headrest for me!
