acme

Loads of fun! Thanks for sharing it.

Quack, Don

thought you might get a laugh...... didn't see my favorite the portable hole I remember it was invented in a different cartoon, but am sure Willie Coyote would have got his from Acme then again maybe the Bush Mcsame bunch has bought them all to crawl into

Amazingly enough, there was only one "portable hole" cartoon. It would probably have been an Acme product if it had been manufactured at all, but the cartoon was about the guy who invented it.

Bush McSame -- good one. I started out thinking of the outgoing crowd as "Bushniks" but later, realizing how non-conservative they were, I started calling them "Busheviks". Also I used to distinguish between the two Bushes by calling them "Papabush" and "Babybush", after the Duvaliers of Haiti. Later, I realized it was more appropriate to refer to them as "Bush Il-Sung" and "Bush Jong-Il" after the Kims of North Korea.

Anyway, it's good to see their party get a big black eye, but I'm not fooling myself that anything's actually changed.

Don;

Feeling a bit cynical? I'm no fan of "Dubya," But I don't hate him. Sen. McCain might have been able to break from the Bush/Republican mode, but we will never know. President-elect Obama had campaigned on a John Kennedy like dream, now lets see if his dream can work.

You know, it does seem like the media were full of political claptrap everywhere I looked, then half the politicians suddenly disappeared. Was there an election or something?

Seriously, I'm dubious. Obama harped on "change" as hard as McCain harped on "maverick", but I don't regard it as any more likely. I'm betting four years from now, we'll still be pouring money and young lives down those same ratholes, and the economy will be even worse. (We're talking '30s-style Depression here, possibly accompanied by Weimar-style inflation.) But then, I've never expected good from a politician.

But it's ironic, at least if your standards for irony are reasonably low. Bush Il-Sung was obviously trying to start a dynasty. But after Bush Jong-Il, it'll be a generation before anybody votes for a politician named Bush.

Or for a Republican candidate for president, I'm betting.

Feeling a bit cynical? Where politics is concerned, I'm always feeling a bit cynical.

Quack, Don

P.S.
A couple of posts back, I said it was good to see the Busheviks' party get a black eye. Of course, I was only talking about the kind of black eye you get from an election. But I'd rather see them get the kind of black eye you get from a 2x4.

Quack, Don
