"The children are right to laugh, Carmen. These scissors couldn't cut butter."

Found this on some Simpsons website. If you're into t-shirts check it out.

TODAY'S STRIP

Um, huh?

Stantis has been reading the backs of philosophy books again. Today is some ham-fisted attempt at talking about how he wants to deal with the problems men have with each other - and how he's failing miserably. Or something like that. I don't know - and I'm sure Stantis doesn't know either.

Carmen has a scissors and wants to cut the "rope that binds men's souls." What is the metaphorical rope a stand-in for? Why, Fear, Anger, and Ignorance, of course. But the rope is just too big for poor little Carmen to cut through with her baby scissors.

Maybe that's because her Republic Party is the one that's been feeding into those binds, hmm? We've been told for the past six years to be afraid of EVERYTHING. We're supposed to hate people who don't look and talk and pray like us. And Ignorance is the best policy.

You're right, Stantis - there is a rope binding men's souls. Of your conservative brothers. Don't try to act like this is some awesome example of how you are heroically trying to bring the world together but the problems are just too enormous. You've been feeding into these things since day one. Be afraid of gay marriage. Be afraid of terrorists that r gonna getcha. Ignore the economic data that shows the tax cuts were a bust. Be angry at that Liberal Loony Left because they dare point out how f*cking hypocritical most people on the Religious Right are. And so on.

The first step in making that rope smaller for you Stantis is to admit that you're a part of the problem, not the solution. The second step is to quit.

It's okay with us if you skip the first step.

Silly Furnace. Liberals fear what living a Godly life would mean for them. They are angry that they have not made as much money as hard-working, Godly conservatives, and they are ignorant of the true agenda that The Terrorists have for this country. Carmen is acting completely in character for once!@

At least, that's how I guess Scottie interprets this.
