    Well, at least we’ll all agree that one part or the other of Congress can light the country all by itself.

    Shouldn’t we all have windmills on our heads?

    Oh man if we can really harness stupidity, not only we will meet our current demand but future demand for the next millennia.

    That’s not harnessing stupidiuty. That’s harnessing death of a language.

    That California dialect is a sure giveaway to their status; but shouldn’t Rat have furnished two Stupidity Windmills so as to harvest the exudations of both Cali-twits?

    Aren’t those the Miami Dolphins colors? Not nearly as funny as the Jets, though.

    He solved the energy crisis but with stupidity growing, we’ve got a problem of global boring.

    Chicago’s nickname “The Windy City” originated as a reference to its politicians — not its weather.

    It’s a Joe Thornton (#19 SJ Sharks) jersey, Pastis’ favorite hockey player; and because if you like hockey right now you’re stupid.

    I applaud Rat for this one!

    Wow… touchy much? Perhaps your comments (all of your comments including those from other comics) would be better suited in a more political forum… not a comics site.

    Look, when I saw “fiscal cliff” I thought"Couldn’t this have been when Rat was running for president?" Take your stuff to Doonesbury. Some of us don’t want politics in these popular and hilarious cartoons.

    Hey Trusted Mechanic, Can i get your help? I’m taking a class in college and i’ve been translating some really difficult phrases, but i’m wondering if you could read this and tell me if it makes sense to you.“Blah blah blah BLAH blah blah blah blah blah blah blah BLAH BLAH BLAAAAAAAAAH… no more questions asked”Learning new languages is hard, especially the language of arrogance.

    Then you give these folks a smart phone or ipad, and they suddenly become … well, they use smart things for dumb activities. But at least they figured out how. Bind-moggling!

    Or as one tv programs said, “Why don’t we just tax the stupid people?” It sure would end the national debt.

    Really, two paragraphs to defend NPR (admittedly, I didn’t even know what it stood for). I am all for defending yourself but within reason. You can’t kill someone for punching you…

    “This is NPR…National Public Radio”. (1972-2005)

    Now due to lack of listener support, it’s just “This is NPR” (2005-present)

    Okay folks, vanity, egos and over-sensitivity aside, I’m thinking the “Three Steps over Japan” troll’s dig was aimed at “Pearls Before Swine” commenters — us. I doubt if s/he even listens to the PBS of radio repute.
