Downside: Up
Like those nutty Berenstain Bears, Carmen and Winslow continue their exploration of inside, outside, and, of course, upside down.
Ostensibly this week has been a rebuke of the Respendicans in the House, Senate, and White House. And I imagine in Stantis' delightful weekly podcast, he'll pat himself on the back because he had the guts to stand up to the GOP; that he is NOT -- as some have claimed -- a TOOL of the administration; that he is able to think for himself and come to his own conclusions; that he's not a dog in the lap of Bush; that he's an equal opportunity Prick[ly Guy].
And that's fine. I congratulate him. [Clap clap clap.] He criticizes the Republicans on the issues. I'm good with that.
But we all know damn well he's going to go right back to criticizing the "Liberals" and/or the "Democrats" on everything BUT the issues: they're drunk, fat, crazy, morally corrupt, and yell-y. YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGH, baby. All that shit.
Wait, wait, wait. Sorry. This entry is a little too rant-y and not fun-ny. I need some way to goose it up a bit...
If only I could figure out how to turn the text upside down. That'd be enough joy and mirth to sustain at least a week's worth of entries.

By the way, another good (and relevant) Medium Large today...

Yeah, you got it. I appreciate the occasional GOP rebukes, but he always seems like he's walking on eggshells when he does. They're kind of half-assed compared to how much of an ass he's showed he can be. I think it'd be fun to see him use his FULL ass to criticize the cons, like he does the libs. Like... Oh my god, Laura Bush is making out with a chimp! No wait, that's just George. On that note.

The problem with Stantis' GOP rants (and, for that matter, Bruce Tinsley's occasional stabs at the GOP over in "Mallard Fillmore" is that both cartoonists tend to bash the Republicans by comparing them to the Dems. This week, both PC and MF took jabs at the GOP for overspending-and both compared the spending to that of "Drunken Democrats.".
