Duke: Wish I could color-correct what I'm seeing... that's WAY too much vermillion! Don't you ever knock? Earl: Just got off the with President Bmzklfrpz, Pop. Usual problem with "traitors." Duke: Again? Who is it this time? Earl: The only minority left in Berzerkistan - the gays. They started out united. But their leaders couldn't agree on a color for their revolution. So now they have two. Duke: Two revolutions? Earl: Apricot and lavender. And who do you suppose is funding both groups? Duke: The gay community? Earl: You'd think, right? But it's president Bmzklfrpz himself! Can you guess why? Duke: Easier target acquisition? Earl: Yup! Color-coded traitors! Guy's not dumb.

I was trying to explain this to a gun owner the other day. He said one of the reasons he should have his AR-15 was so he could fight the army when the government turned on the American people. I said Theyād absolutely love him to run at their tanks with his gun. Heād be a really easy target. I on the other hand would be using my lawn fertilizer, powdered soap and diesel to make IEDs.
The hardest part of wiping out your enemy is finding them.

If the gays couldnāt decide on a color, why not use a flag with all of them?

I know that every time Jeff Redfern comes into a new story arc here, somebody on this board tags the comic āLiāl Duke.ā I hope they take this chance to take a good look at the REAL Earl (Hey - an anagram!) and memorize the differences in hair color, hairline, and jaw line.

Most dictators arenāt dumb. Even Idi Amin had a certain rat cunning; and besides being kicked out of his own country, he was never brought to book, and given asylum. Dumb? Nup.
