Alemana Right to Advanced Hip Twist
What ever happened to predictability, the milkman, the paperboy, evening tv? What ever happened to pong? What ever happened to Baby Jane? What ever happened to the Hall of Fame? What ever happened to twin sets? What ever happened to...leisure?
Leisure, that's a funny thing for Carmen to ask. It's very Old Europe. Derived from the Old French leisir, in fact, noun use of the infinitive leisir: permission, leisure, spare time. I thought from reading some of the more respected conservative minds, Pat Buchanan among others, that this kind of permissiveness has allowed the continent of the Frogs and their siesta-ing Spaniard neighbors to turn into Eurabia. Or isn't our lack of productivity what's allowing jobs to be outsourced to India or the southwestern states to be swallowed back in the supersecret stealth "Area 51"-like grand reconquista plan of the Mexicans who come here to work twice as hard and five times as cheap in order to undermine our good English-isn't-our-official-language-anyhow nation? Great hurdy gurdy, man. Either we have too much time or too little. Methinks our scribbler has too much time, and that by cutting down on the marker-huffing he could've perhaps gotten this strip in on time and fit in into the Labor Day slot, where it would've made .01% more sense, relatively speaking.

What is Carmen talking about? Her Republican Congress has worked less this year than any of the previous 50 years. They've got plenty of leisure time.

But her Republican president had a shorter summer vacation this year. That's progress!!
