Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 21, 2019

I hope Rat punched himself really hard.

It’s the old political maxim: “NEVER apologize, it makes you look weak!”

Next you need to work on your defense so you can throw punches at yourself without hurting yourself.

I truly expected the follow-up to be, “Then I realized there’s nothing wrong with any of that stuff.”

How very introspective…

Rat then registered for the Democratic party to fight socialism from within.

Gee, Rat is really good at this.

Rat wouldn’t say that if he were a true narcissist.

Humm …… no marks on Rat’s face….. I don’t know could be a fib ;-)

Maybe he took lessons. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/how-to-throw-a-punch?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Rat’s a Silastic Armorfiend, should have guessed

I looked at my watch. I looked at my wrist. Then I punched myself in the face with my fist. BD

Nothing RAT says will convince GOAT otherwise

How about a Hawaiian Punch?

Rule number one: Never talk about Fightclub…

And after that he had a beer; twenty to be exact.

Rat? Being self aware? Please, call the media!

I wonder if this is how Bill O’Reilly warmed up before his show.

Know thyself, Rat. The unexamined life is not worth living. (And the examined life is getting pretty tricky these days, now that I think on it.)

There seems to be a lot of Rats in the news these days……

So, a Republican Trumpy

Wow. ‘Ninny.” Such unbridled verbal violence. Where will it all end?

“Amen,” say all the politicians and war mongers, not to forget our military-industrial complex economy (in case you don’t understand why we’re in debt - might makes right). When I was a boy at the movies, the Japanese in the cartoons were drawn to look like rats. Just sayin.

This is Dick. Dick is rational and reasonable. Don’t be a Dick.

If only we could make the same realization. And the take away here isn’t that Rat is a bad person. It’s that he, and others like him, are their own worst enemy. Nobody talks or debates anymore. They just scream crazy things at each other. And please don’t make anymore tired worn out Trump jokes. This kind of behavior started long before him. It’s systemic to politics and the media today. Really really sad.

It would have been less painful to just count to ten and let the moment of sanity pass!

At least he didn’t vent his spleen into the Twittersphere.

I love Goat’s dry comment “and bye bye maturity”.

Rat had it right their is a problem with the rat population in this country.

And perhaps stepped on your own heart as well.

What else was there to do? Rat is right when he’s wrong!

(It’s not his fault. He’s just written that way….)

Just a warning: don’t go to the comment with most replies unless you wanna talk about politics for no reason whatsoever.
