    Who is "Betty Walsh," and why is a "Bill Clinton" writing to her under an artilce by JOAN Walsh?

    By the way, the "Burqini" punchline was used on an episode of NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" (with guest Janeane Garofalo) on the episode of July 15, 2006. . . At least Breathed is still stealing from the best.

    I found a great quote online about Berkeley Breathed:

    "I spent as much time reading 'Bloom County' on the toilet as anybody, but I gradually came to recognize the strip as an odious, barbless swirl of untethered political references and hypercommercial sentimentality, all strained through Garry Trudeau’s lower intestine. [It's] 'Doonesbury' for Dummies. The strip is so middle American, in the worst sense of the phrase, that reading it now is like choking to death on apple pie." - Colby Cosh
