I got it when I was teaching inmates, and a student said to me, just kind of casually, "The third time I got shot in the head..."

Where he came from being shot but not killed was just an every day thing. Getting killed was pretty common, too.

Everywhere I see people trying to impress people with their physical appearance. But so what? Mostly with these narcissists what you see is what you get. Give me warm, fuzzy approachable people any day.

Yes. Clinton's an old bag, Obama is hot, and poor people are stupid. That will get the votes.

I'm glad Obama is getting rid of her.

I have no use whatsoever for men who screw prostitutes.

Ho-hum.

Here is one white old woman who will not work for Obama's campaign. Who will not contribute time and money to his campaign or to the Democratic Party should they nominate him.

You know, we're the ones who do so much of the dog work for the party? Well now all you clever young or youngish yuppies can man the phones yourself, if you can take time out from your narcissistic pursuits! I am telling every older woman I know to go on strike and not support the endeavours of the Obama coalition as being against our interests.

No disrespect to people of color, but trashing older women for telling the truth just is not OK with me, and I have to defend my interests, just the way the rest of you do. Grandma will not welcome you to her place with a sweet smile so you can take her stuff, laugh at her and not even send a thank you note.

Why worry? The super rich will be fine. This is just the latest move in catastrophe capitalism. Now it's the turn of ordinary people worldwide to suffer as the people at the very top of the economic heap continue to enjoy the good life.

B.S. A lawyer I know with two children is a total shark and a partner in a very successful K Street law firm. The secret to her success is that her husband stays home and takes care of the kids!

Dang. I have to scratch another favorite off my list. Maybe TT can become the official cartoonist for the Obama campaign. I haven't forgotten the Gore-bot either. Some of us have memories that go back farther than a year or two.

I hope you Obama fans realize that you are handing the presidency to McCain.

For a fact, I would not work on Obama's campaign with any of you people, who, as I have observed, are mostly self-serving narcissistic creeps. And Randi Rhodes is your goddess.

Poignant. Thank you for this.

Why do most of the "creative" people I meet these days strike me as being so dull? I am tired of their loony ideas and their devotion to money, frankly.

This is what I have been waiting to hear from Democrats like you who support Obama. Clearly, it is McCain and his press lackeys who need to be the focus of attack, not our own prospective candidates.

Right now the media hacks are focused on destroying Clinton. If and when they dispose of her they will go after Obama. I predict that the focus of their attack will be Micelle Obama, who is for the moment getting a free ride. It will be nasty.

You mean, just she fit a stereotype of what mothers and older women in general are like? I get tired of that, for sure.

Noonan in her flailing about does manage to hit some targets. But of course she is too afraid to offend the men who pay her salary. While suggesting that ordinary people are fed up at being treated like criminals in airport terminals, she also had to rave about the 49ers in the gold rush and so on. That is, just plain folks continue to be just and plain, but great men are great and have made our country the great country that it is. I believe that is her train of thought.

Ms.Edwards is a wonderful commentator. I guess we really did miss a bet not getting behind Mr. Edwards for President.

Yes. I stopped reading the Huff Post when I realized how low its journalistic standards were.

In our wonderful world, nothing correlates with anything else, so just because adolescent boys spend all their time playing violent video games, picking their zits, and masturbating, that does not mean they will not grow up to be responsible, caring, sensitive adults.

Ha ha. Don't expect all us nice elderly ladies to go on picking up after you boys and bringing you lemonaide. We don't think you're cute any more.

Oh, and I'm selling my Opus plush doll at the next garage sale. And how about that love Obama hate Hillary fest over at the Huff Post. Those people are crazy if they think any woman with a speck of self respect will have anything to do with the Obama campaign after the way his backers have been dumping on women. Of course there are a lot of women without any self respect. They like to dump on women too, while the menz egg them on. So they can vote for Obama or McCain. Me, I'm voting for Cynthia McKinney. I respect Ms. Clinton, though.

And once upon a time I liked Bloom County.

Oh, ha ha I get it. Let's see: This penguin is up in a tree and some buff surfers try to lure her with seducative calls. To her horror they morph into fat, ugly old guys carrying signs saying "McCain for President."

Now that's funny. Actually, not.

And you can make up one for Obama, if you wish, which would be equally not funny.

Perhaps Opus is having intimacy problems.
