   Comics page deadlines are typically a few weeks before publication. This isn’t the first time that a delay of a few days created a faux pas.

   The very definition of “tl;dr.”

   What on earth was the context when she got to “KKK”?!?

   It is not at all unreasonable for a non-cartoonist to be critical of a widely published strip for defaming a fine university for a scandal whose existence is now called into doubt. While “debunked” is perhaps a bit strong for the current state of the RS story, GT should not put out a cartoon that is potentially libelous if the report is ever really debunked. He probably has a 2-3 week deadline, so this was already in the pipeline, but a rerun is possible with short notice.

   California proves that citizens write bad laws. I don’t know of another polity where citizen initiatives can not be modified AT ALL by the legislature. They can’t be modified or repealed except by another proposition, or maybe a court if the law is unconstitutional (like Prop 8).

   It was voter propositions that cut property taxes, among others, and another that requires a 2/3 supermajority for any bill increasing revenue. With the contentious nature of the Assembly (worse than even the US Congress), increasing revenues is impossible.

   Recently, another voter proposition mandated building the bullet train. Unfortunately, there were no associated waivers of the tax restrictions, so Brown MUST build a Bullet Train, and he has to do it from current, overstretched revenues. Don’t blame Gov. Brown—pity him for he has been put in an absolutely impossible position.

   This hits very close to the truth. A few years ago, I was flying frequently between Atlanta and Charles de Gaulle-Paris on A— F——-. In eight trips, I had my bags lost at one end of the other for three of them. The other five trips, they were lost at BOTH ends.

    I still have my Keuffel & Esser Deci-Lon slide rule with orange leather belt scabbard. Laugh if you will, but I’ll be the only one able to do trig functions after an EMP.
