I'm In Control Here

TODAY'S STRIP

I hope Jodie Foster likes my column today.

Boing. Donk. Tax. How liberal effete of that damn coyote. Speaking of lefty wankers and predators, how about that Tammy Duckworth. A real Democrat in soldier's clothing. "Her views on Iraq were either more tempered, designed to appeal to the Republican majority of the district, or squishy, depending on your perspective." Boy, that really worked out well with John Kerry, didn't it, Rahm? What else is in the papers today? (Yeah, I apologize, I've got nothing to work with in today's strip - "Boing. Donk. Tax." was the most I could bear to muster.)

Jill Carroll was released. In a brief interview after her release, Carroll, 28, told Baghdad television she was treated well but doesn't know why she was kidnapped. She went to the Middle East in 2002 after being laid off from a newspaper job, fulfilling a long-held dream of covering a war. So I'm going to extrapolate and say: 1. She's a war supporter - she's always wanted to cover one and 2. She probably was laid off because she's been with these people since January and she doesn't know why she was kidnapped. Use some investigative reporting skills, kid.

Baseball to probe past steroid use. Two points. 1. Nobody really cares, but it's a false front of "integrity" and 2. What's with the double standard of some "performance enhancers" being allowed but not others? Randy Johnson having elbow surgery and coming back and racking up huge amounts of strikeouts and helping his team into the playoffs isn't wrong? Tell that to Sandy Koufax - he didn't artificially supplement his performance by having some mamby-pamby doctor cut into him and improve the performance of his arm - he had to quit.

Jack Abramoff sentenced to 5+ years for lobbying payola. I'll let the Furnace handle that one.

Non-chowderheads can't be gay married in Massachusetts. I think the oral arguments might've lost the case for them. Either that or the fact that the judges were smoking pot.

And finally, the French are lazy. And even they know how much they stink: "Everyone will go 'phew,'" said political expert Jean-Luc Parodi.

I'll bet Winslow would fly further if he put the trampoline below the cliff, where Carmen is sitting, then jumped down into it. With all that momentum, he might well bounce into a blue state.
