Sleight Of Hand or Thick In Head
Ah, smooth move, cartoonist extrodinaire: "The Republicans seem to have run out of ideas" whereas the Democrats "have...no ideas." What would we do without the wisdom of Prickly City? I have no idea.
The GOPers have plenty of tricks up their sleeves. They're as clever as Doug Henning faking his death so that he could fake the death of JonBenet Ramsey and win a $5 bet with David Copperfield.
As far as no new ideas, here's what Bruce Lee's ghost institute had to say about the elephants:
A sharp contrast is evident when comparing Reagan and Bush on spending. While both boosted defense outlays during their first three years in office, Reagan offset that increase with a 13 percent cut in real discretionary nondefense spending. By contrast, Bush has increased nondefense spending by more than 20 percent in real terms.
Elephants indeed. Once they put the pink elephant of smaller government in your mind, you can't stop thinking that it's so. Now I'm getting sleepy...sleepy...sleepy....
Comments
Stantis is right - we people on the left have no new ideas.
We simply want to do the exact opposite of everything the Republicans are doing since their ideas are failing miserably.

I dunno, these look like new and different ideas to me:

Of course, they pale next so the really fresh idea that tax cuts and preemptive war will solve all of our problems.
