This strip really has no legs. It's the Ella Fitzgerald of comic strips. (Or for those of you locally, Ron Santo.)
You know the inconvenient truth? Ella Fitzgerald actually has more legs than this comic strip. I know, I'm horrible, and I'm beating this into the ground. Ella's left us, however, and is 6 feet deep, so I still have 5 more feet to beat before I'm through.
Anyhow, to wrap it all up in a big cedar bow, as long as Scott is talking about wooden performances, how about this chestnut:
"I own a timber company? That's news to me. Need some wood?"
And that's the kind of performer that neither Gore nor Kerry could beat. I'm not even sure they could beat Ella in a 40-yard dash.
As long as I'm going on about how badly Bush, Stantis and my entry today suck, for all that, the Democrats suck worse. I remember the talk back in 2004. Kerry gained steam in the primaries on account of his "electability":
"High school senior Beth Ryder-Kenna knows this quandary well. When she started thinking about voting in the Maine caucus, Dennis Kucinich's ideas got her fired up. "He has really strong beliefs about the environment, about trade and the war in Iraq," she said. But when she showed up at the caucus, Beth threw her support behind John Kerry.
I'm sure she's just one out of many who pissed away a perfectly good vote in order to get the electable Kerry the nomination. I'm not saying I'm going to cut and run (strictly a Republican strategy), but people, people, people (yes, all 3 of you dear readers): let this history be your lesson vis a vis Hillary and the '08 primaries.
Stay tuned for next week's history lesson, as I'll discuss the times before our culture became attention-addled when events less than 2 years old were "current events" and not "history."

Why is Winslow afraid of Al Gore? Wouldn't Al be his hero?
