Jokeless in Seattle

TODAY'S STRIP

Well it looks like Stantis is going with the oh-so-hysterical and oh-so-relevant part of our election process that says the President and Vice President can't be from the same state. Here's a link to Article 2 of the Constitution that Winslow is talking about.

I'm not sure if Stantis is bringing this up because of the whole Bush/Cheney/Texas thing in 2000 (read more about it here - h/t John from yesterday's comments) or if it has something to do with the dust up on the internet about John McCain being born on a military base in Panama. The Panama thing cracks me up since folks seem to have forgotten that McCain kinda already ran for president once before and people already figured out that he is a U.S. citizen, but whatever.

It's too bad Old Man Stantis reverted back to his technology-hating ways with that last line where he takes a shot at internet conspiracy theories. A more appropriate line would have had Winslow saying that he found the Constitution in the trash after Carmen and the other Republicans tried to throw it away.

Is Stantis really going to spend a week on this? He didn't even have a joke in yesterday's strip, and today he goes with the lame Carmen slam and an internet reference. Reading the newspaper two weeks ago Stantis couldn't come up with ANYTHING more interesting than this non-starter of a storyline?

What will be really lame is if Stantis announces tomorrow that it was all an April Fool's joke, and Carmen and Winslow don't really have to break up - they can still run for the White House. Nah, that would have meant Stantis actually planned ahead and we know that's not possible.

In other news, Sacki is pregnant, CJo is four feet tall, and I'm still looking for a date for my high school prom. Happy April 1st!
