Yesterday, CJo, our beneficent host and the creator of Shrubville, your guide to Scott Stantis's hilarious comic strip Prickly City featuring Carmen, the 8-year-old Hispanic neo-con tot who lives in a faith-based homeless shelter; Winslow, the loveable liberal coyote clown; and Dio, the devil-worshipping philosopher lizard who may or may not be dead, came quite close to striking gold. Black gold. With specks of blood diamonds. And silver tipped shamrocks. All in marshmallow form. Anyhow, let's see if we can improve it.
This Davies fellow Pelosi broad, his art is her politics are even cruder than Stantis's Hastert's. But, frankly, I find his sketches of the characters her policies engaging, even charming.
Yup, that fixes the wagon good. It's okay when it's our team, not so much when it's the other team. Much like when the Furnace, who along with CJo is among the best Shrubville writers, finds humor in referring to Ann Coulter as "Mann Coulter" or calling Conde [sic] Rice a gap-toothed slut, but lambasts characterizations of Michael Moore as fat or Cindy Sheehan as nuts.
In conclusion (you've always got to end with "in conclusion" or something similar thereto, in order to signify that my thoughts and ideas, however incomplete they may seem, are indeed complete), I present for your viewing pleasure "Barney's Christmas Extravaganza," featuring a scene with Margaret Spellings, Secretary of Education, in which she learns what a casting couch is.
Comments
I have never called Conde (preferred spelling) names - I want an apology. And mAnn Coulter is also the preferred spelling.
As for Prickly City, it's great they brought in a liberal comic strip artist to reinforce the liberal stereotypes. I'm surprised Winslow wasn't wearing a Greenpeace t-shirt to go along with his membership card at MoveOn.org and the keys to his Volvo. What a waste.

Oh, and as for Barney's video - isn't it just cheeky that they make fun of him "not having a plan" like Bush in Iraq and being broke, like our skyrocketing defict and gi-normous debt? Hoo boy, now those are some knee-slappers!
In other news, over 2900 servicemen and women killed in a war costing us 8 billion dollars a month.
