Am I the only one who thought the flip reference to Benazir Bhutto's assassination was tasteless and deeply offensive?

If you want to kill this horrible strip, let South Asian and Pakistani anti-defamation organizations know that Salon is mocking the death of Bhutto.

Here's a few places to start:

Have fun!

It's okay though, because we Catholics know that you heretics led astray by the Demon Martin Luther will burn in Hell, while we Catholics will reside in Heaven... which I suspect has all the best aspects of New Orleans.

We Catholics still teach phonics and our kids read and write much better than yours. We also teach Transubstantiation and the Holy Trinity, so our kids don't go to Hell, like you damnmed Protestant heretics.

Oh my GOD! How did I ever miss that clip of Hannity being chased through the streets by an angry mob of Ron Paul supporters? THANK YOU SALON! I take back every nasty thing I ever said about Kansas O'Flaherty. That was the funniest damn thing I've seen in years!

I think from now on whenever I refer to European fascism - Mussolini, Franco, Hitler, etc - I will definitely call it ChristoFascism. Since all of those Fascist movements were born out of European Christian culture. And Franco and Mussolini allied themselves closely with the Catholic Church - Franco even became something of a "defender of the faith." I like this alot and will defiinitely use it to bedevil rightwing idiots in the future.

Seriously, what was the deal with those two? Also, how come Mary Worth knew so many fucked up people with so many problems? And why did Mandrake the Magician ALWAYS wear a cape and tophat? Other magicians took off their costumes when they left the stage, why not Mandrake? Was he OCD or something? Also, wasn't the whole concept of "Melrose Place" just a ripoff of Apartment 3G? Also is it me, or does Mark Trail look like it's still being faxed (or maybe telegraphed) in from the 1950s? Finally, am I the only one who wants to slap the stupid outta those obnoxious Family Circus kids? These the are Comix questions that bedevil me late at night...

You're treading dangerously close to cranky old man-ism here... when everything that's new doesn't measure up to everything that came before.

Kill it please.

Thanks!

Poor Camile - look at how she flails around trying to prove that she's so relevant. That's the tragedy of the formerly hip when their time in the spotlight is over. Too bad there's not an academic equivalent of VH-1 where creaky old deconstructionists and post-modernists can get makeovers and date aspiring Hollywood bimbos. I'm sure Paglia would love that. LOL

...You really, really, really hate Al Gore. YAWN Meanwhile, here in the real world, global warming would still be real and still be man made even if Al Gore had never been born. Get over your rabid, unstable Gore-hate. You're getting drool on your straightjaket again. LOL

What makes me laugh out loud about CP is how, after all her convoluted intellectual gymnastics, her politics still boil down to who's "hot or not." Obama = Young and Hot. Hillary & McCain = old and not. She is as transparent and shallow as Us Weekly - but a lot less honest. LOL

My wife, who's British, sometimes reminisces about a few wacked out kid's TV show from her childhood like Magic Roundabout and Clangers - all very early '70: psychedelic, trippy and full of oblique drug references, etc. They were cute, but when I turned her onto to the oevure of Sid & Marty Kroft she was astonished - and couldn't believe that those shows were made for kids. America: 1 England: 0

Don't be fooled, Buckley was nothing more than a fascist and a white supremicist who championed such monstrous causes as Joe McCarthy's anti-Communist witchunts, Spanish fascism under Francisco Franco, and Southern Segregation. The man was evil and he dragged this country back at every step. I piss on his grave and laugh when I think that his signature boast that he would "stand athwart history, yelling stop" was just a lot of hot air. Everything he believed in has been discredited and his entire ideology has falled apart. I'm so glad he lived to see it.

Oh LW - you're far, far from alone... not sure where you are, but even in the Mediterranean countries January and February are just crappy times of the year to go out exploring. And if you're in Northern or Central Europe, forget about it. Wait a few weeks till the weather improves and save your Euros (if you're in the Eurozone) and stop beating yourself up - things will get better!

If you want a second kid, why not adopt? It's win win AND it's eviornmentally friendly. Whatever you do, don't have more than two biological kids (replacement population), doing so is selfish and egotistical and a burden on the rest of us as planetary resources shrink and global population grows.

Keef -

If you ever end up in DC, don't pass up the classic "Half Smoke" street sausage - it's your direct culinary connect to the Washington Senators, George Pelicanos, Chuck Brown, Bad Brains (HR might be a Vegan, but I saw Darryl Jennifer wolf one down back in the day...), the Mayor For Life, and all good things wierd and wild in the district before gentrification.

Have it with a bag of Old Bay crab chips on the side.

PS: I remember some pork tacos "al pastor" from a truck in Austin during SXSW a few years ago that were so damn good we walked back two blocks to get more and completely missed the band we were supposed to be seeing. Damn Austin is a great food town!
