Thank you, Alex Koppelman for once again confirming for me that in my country "Justice For All" is an empty phrase devoid of meaning. Thanks for pointing up how politics makes a mockery of the Constitution. Thanks, once again, for your lack of outrage at this, and the sniffing smugness of your editorializing - your tacit approval of the status quo.

Really, thanks a lot. It makes it just that much easier to lose myself in the pleasant fantasies of Ipods, video games and entertainment instead of being motivated to take part in the system and try to fix it, since it's obvious that no one, including you, really cares enough about what's wrong to even try to make a difference, and anyone, like Kucinich, who does is little more than a punchline, not worthy of reporting.

Have a nice day. We are all grateful that we can now go back to sleep and download porn instead of reading Salon.

Kucinich and his impeachment articles? Not so much.

I see.

Okay.

Right.

Got it.

Yeah, I read it and and you obviously didn't. You didn't frigging read Koppelman's down-the-nose dismissal of it as "Not Newsworthy," DIDJA???? Of Kucinich as a punchline, DIDJA???

THAT is what I'm commenting on.

And YOU can bite me.

Check out the copyright on the first panel, folks. Go to Waylay.com and you'll see she's on hiatus from this stuff and working on other projects.

So this has already been finished, and you can't complain - it's going to be what it's going to be.

Still, you're right.

BOY is this long!

This is a realistic hope that, for the first time in at least 8 years, we have a prayer that our hard work will actually mean something. Not just for the privileged few or the corporations, but for the rest of America. Pessimism would be to believe that an Obama administration would be no different than the previous, or that he or we have no say and no responsibility for making things better. It would be foolish, though, to think that an Obama victory is anything but the beginning of at least four years (hopefully more) during which the now-minority party will continue its avowed policy of undermining every progressive policy or piece of legislation that might attempt to change the status quo. Likewise the majority party will not do the right thing on their own - it needs the people to keep hammering away at them to do the job they were elected to do. And we need to hammer away at the next president, and I sincerely hope it will be Obama, in the same way. He's no messiah, no saint. He's a gifted, brilliant politician and leader, but Obama can only lead us where we tell him we want to go. Where we *insist* we want and need to go. This is government of the people, after all, and if you didn't like the last eight years, then blame yourself. If you want change, it has to begin with the person sitting in your chair as you read this.

Camille Paglia is, herself, a navel-gazing narcissist. It's almost impossible for me to figure out if there's anything that she is completely for or against - no, not even truth or integrity. I'm gratified that she likes Sarah Palin. I don't, and I have excellent reasons for not liking her. How in the world someone can say she is pro-choice, staunchly or otherwise, can look at this intellectually incurious, ignorant and dangerously ideologically-driven bimbo and think that she is the equivalent of a John Edwards circa 2000 is beyond me. And I'm also glad that she "deeply admires" Barack Obama, all the while giving credence to the worst smears that the right-wing noise machine had to fire at him. Holy crap, the Bush family "palled around" with Nazis, Rumsfeld and the Reagan administration "palled around" with Sadaam Hussein. Ahd she strokes her hairy chin and wonders aloud about how much Obama is hiding about his relationship with Bill Ayers????

PFFFT!

People just like to think it is in order to justify their misplaced feelings of superiority.

As to life itself - it always ends. Period.

Funny strip, but it's always interesting how even when we're trying not to, we still anthropomorphize the entire rest of the animal world. Dolphins are actually, by human standards, right bastards who kill, rape and play (again, by human standards) sadistic games with their prey and other animals.

Man, I'm getting to like Gibbs.

Not liking everything the Obama administration is doing (though some if it I like a *lot*) but it's nice to see that Gibbs isn't mincing words when one of the true enemies of freedom tries to re-impose his warped view of reality on American discourse.

No, man, don't ask for forgiveness on this one. Tell it like it is.

Keef, no, you're not being too harsh - because you're using ink and paper, not boots, knives or vinegar.

Gafoto, yes you are alone in this. Go to an ATM. deposit your hundred. Withdraw five twenties. Geez.

Glad The Inhaler, It's a frigging comic. Keef is just expressing frustration in a comical, hyperbolic manner. And you're dead wrong. Not everyone has the right to be an asshole. Let's have a poll: All those who believe that everyone in the world is "okay," even if they're a self-obsessed, inconsiderate, sexist, sociopathic swine, raise your hand. And your own little smug self-righteous trip just made you one of the people that annoy me. Sorry to harsh your mellow, but no doubt you can take satisfaction in your own superiority to me - as long as you're appropriately lit.

I also vote for a "Civility Man" recurring strip. The thought of the Keef character in tights, trunks and a cape is already making me giggle. There is a precedent in National Lampoon's Politeness Man:
