Today's strip is a charming examination of the difference between
those who see the world as black and white
and
those who see the world as shades of gray.
What's ironic about this is that on the front page of the L.A. Times comics section is a Doonesbury strip. The strip takes place at one of W's press conferences. A reporter says, "Sir, I've noticed that whenever you frame a debate, it always contains false choices. After 9/11, it was 'are you with us or against us?'"
The neo-conservative does not do well, I have observed
(shit! I could stop the sentence right there!)
-with conditional/contextual thinking.
(ha, there it is.)
Yet, they are willing to create contexts and will defend them to the death (of someone else or someone else's kid). Case in point: I was just in Utah. Utah's courts just ruled that exotic dancers have to wear pasties and thongs when on stage. An editorial in one of the SLC papers said 'isn't it a shame that all of this kind of dancing could be banned'.
Uh-uh.
Freedom of the marketplace, jerk. If 'American Bush'
has customers willing to pay, how can a good neo-con say that's a bad thing? I tried to do research, btw, but the driver of the car was complete and utter wuss [his wife was in the car, 'nuff said].
or, as in today's 'Prickly City' strip, where Representative Nancy Pelosi was insulted for her appearance, with jokes about Botox use. Scott Stantis, the author, is obviously following Our Boy Tinsley by leaving out the comedy to save money. But can't they see that it's wrong to attack Nancy for the face she was born with and NOT talk about Katherine Harris and her two new safety cushions?
anyways, check at http://www.shrubville.com/. The author's my new hero! |
