Nutso
Before we begin, let me once again ask everyone to please check out the Furnace's excellent Saturday and Sunday work. He nails 'em both, as usual.
As for today's head-scratcher, it took me awhile to get it. In fact, it took a google news search on "South Dakota" to even figure out where to begin. Luckily, the first hit was a brilliant treatise by an intelligent new voice, some gentleman named Alan Keyes, who is writing for a wonderful 'zine, or blog, or collection-of-crack[er]pots called WorldNetDaily.
(Nice gig, "Ambassador" Keyes! Does it pay enough to buy Heterosexual Lessons for your daughter? I wonder if she too drools at the thought of Hillary Clinton. But I digress...)
In this think-piece, Alan Keyes says...
...Um...I'll be honest. I didn't read it. This guy is a WACKO. He's writing about abortion in South Dakota, where a bunch of WACKOS from the state Senate are trying to make it felony for a doctor to perform an abortion.
I guess my point is: Stantis probably has his browser's home page (Internet Explorer 6.02! None of this "liberal" Firefox or other) set to WorldNetDaily because he too is a WACKO.
Scott Stantis: No matter how you slice him, he always comes up peaNUTS.
Comments
The scary thing: it WILL soon be illegal to get an abortion - they've already passed it and the ban starts sometime this summer. I think Kansas is looking to do the same (of course) and Ohio is looking to criminalize going over the border to get one. Gee, they really do want it to be the fifties again.

I actually chuckled a little at this strip, and it wasn't just that the normally sensible Carmen made the Winslow-wacky comment about Iraq having a stable democratic government.
One chuckle a year - that's the state of comic strip quality these days!
