Furnace on Fire
Three cheers for The Furnace, who, unless he got today's Chicago Sun-Times yesterday like a young Kyle Chandler before he became a football coach (and the Sun-Times actually carried "Prickly City" [which it doesn't]), accurately called today's strip:
"Odds are next week Stantis will reminisce about the Greatest President In The History Of the World, Gerald R. Ford. Carmen will spew on about how Ford helped to 'heal the nation.'"
-The Furnace, 1/7/07
It doesn't get much better than that, folks. Our very own The Furnace, everybody...big round of applause.
Beyond that, today's strip is really actually very funny. Stantis has worked as hard as possible to help DIVIDE our country and now he's wondering who will heal us.
If he's really so concerned about healing the deep divide, I suggest he think about retiring TODAY. If he stops, we'll stop. And that's one less divide to heal.
That ball's in your court, Scotty.

i actually thought that Stantis was a uniter; don't we all think he sucks?

Stantis does pose an excellent question: which Republican could possibly unite this country that they divided? The only name I can think of is Chuck Hagel, but it looks like he's retiring. Is there one Republican leader who acts like he even wants to work with the Democrats?

One could argue that Bush has, indeed, been a uniter, getting 70% or whatever of all Americans to disapprove of him. Who gets 70% of Americans to do anything together?
Meanwhile, speedyhed is spot on. Stantis has united 100% of funny page readers against him.
