TODAY'S STRIP

Another The-hers-day, and once again I find myself staring, losing my focus, thinking about what I might want for lunch, remembering what I was doing, and then reading another Prickly City that pulls no punches in going after Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Hey, if you're punchless, you've no punches to pull. Anyhow, I'd never been able to put my finger on how or why this Stantis character laid into Harry Reid so much, but then it dawned on me. He hates that he sees himself in Reid.

Now, some of you might be thinking, why is he spending so much time talking about Orson Welles' character in The Third Man? I'm not talking about that guy, although of course, Stantis likes to go around in circles only to wind up in the same spot, much like the characters in the film riding the ol' Riesenrad, and perhaps he likes running around in sewers (who doesn't), but that was Harry Lime, not Reid. No, my friends, this so-called Harry Reid is the Democratic Mormon U.S. Senator from Nevada, a fighter for liberals everywhere with their pro-gun, anti-abortion, pro-deathy penalty stances, as well as support for the Joint Resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq.

Harry Reid, by saying that we're losing, you're calling yourself a loser, and if you admit that you're a loser, then Stantis will have to admit that he's a loser. And dear loard, if you do that, then the whole house of cards falls down and we're looking at 500 years of brotherly love, peace and democracy, and what good is that.

I was wondering when Stantis would get around to making fun of an elderly woman's looks again. Scott Stantis: class act.

So..does the final panel have any point to make besides "Nancy Pelosi is unattractive."?
