The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 15, 2012

Biden’s statement was stupid, but he was responding to a comment by the Republicans about Obama putting the economy in shackles. Idiotic gaffe on Biden’s part (shocking!), but it’s being overblown (gosh, imagine that happening in American politics!)..re: today’s comic: I actually had a boss who told me, in all sincerity, that he never made any mistakes. He said that it wasn’t to his credit, it was by the grace of God. The same guy also brought up in a staff meeting that Catholicism is “fundamentally flawed,” and referred to anybody who looked like he came from the Middle East or southwestern Asia as “Taliban.” He’d never praise you, but would be sure to criticize you in front of others. If you were not at your desk at the start of the business day, you’d get chastised, but if you stayed late you’d get no credit. (Of course, he’d never know, because he was out the door at 5:00.) Prince of a guy.
