It's too bad that Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle doesn't apply-- Dick's so certain about what he's doing that nobody gets to interact with him at all...

A little heavy-handed. But I can sympathize; there's no way to really satirize this "administration" and the right wing lunatics that still support them. These people simply exceed every standard of sanity.

Even Jonathan Swift would be challenged to invent an extreme which Bush/Cheney wouldn't actually end up not only performing, but exceeding. If they were forcing mothers to eat their own babies, I wouldn't be that surprised.

... has done a fine job spinning out the surreality of the Cheneyverse.

As usual, the perfect take. He's quantum-entagled, that's what it is! We should have realized. And the various spokespeople like Tony Snow all possess spin that changes to match whatever talking point the others come up with, instantaneously, in keeping with Bell's theorem.

I knew TT was the one to finally make sense of this administration.

Master stroke to use science to explain the administration that denies science. Also, appropos of nothing, I enjoy this strip so much more than Salon's new headliner comic.

Just look at him and you can tell right away that Cheney's made out of nothing but dark matter.

Not that the previous ones were bad, either.

...an exquisitely apt metaphor.

Damn! Those Layman's terms!

Here's a cool idea for a strip: "The hyper-effectiveness of the democrat's first one hundred days in power". That would be a good one. Yeah. It could go something like "In a parallel universe, the democrats appear to be going forward, while in this one they are standing utterly still (or in some cases going backward). Or how about "In a parallel universe, Salon.com exposes how the democrats duped their supporters, while in this universe it appears to be saying nothing at all."

Yeah, Poco, ignore the topic and shift to the Dems, because it's vitally important to maintaining your illusions to pretend they have done nothing in SIX WHOLE MONTHS whilc conveniently ignoring the more than SIX YEARS of Bush Administration malfeasence.

I guess if you're going to ignore reality, you might as well go whole hog - just like Bush and Cheney - and make up your own.

BTW, you forgot to blame Clinton.

This cartoon ably points out the mystery of the great Bush/Cheney FUBAR. (Ask your army mates what that means.) We all know it’s a stuff up; but what exactly has been stuffed up? What was the master plan in the first place? Was it oil, open season on Arabs or one party (Republican) rule? Was it all of those, a dictator pie, baked in a pastry made up of crooks, the ignorant, party zealots and religious nutcases, with a topping of betrayal of principle, served with a side dish of media delivered propaganda. If it’s true that you are what you eat it looks like it will be a long time before Bush/Cheney touch base with reality. How about bread and water for a while?

Excuse me, your bias is showing. Find anything I have posted on these forums that demonstrates my support for any politician, republic or democrat, or George Bush in particular. Anything. You won't find it. What I find disturbing is how many silly Americans think "democrats, goooood. Republicans, baaaaad" (or vice versa), when they all suffer from the same terminal, mind eating disease: politician. The real shame is that Salon has refused to comment on how exceptionally disappointing the democrats have been and how they have truly duped their supporters. Salon's motto "We give the dems a pass!" Now that's service!

Facile points. If you want the Democrats to do something, say what they should do. Keep in mind that there aer not even 50 Democrats in the Senate, so their legislative power is limited. Or, to put it another way, people who blame the Democrats for not being able to override a Bush veto simply don't understand how the system works. (Or they do understand but prefer to take a cheap shot anyway.)

Also, check your usage of capital letters and apostrophes. When you say "the democrat's six months in power" that means something entirely different from "the Democrats' six months in power". It is particularly bad to fail to capitalize a proper noun that can function equally well as a common noun, and the position of the apostrophe lets us know whether you are using the possessive to apply to one person (the democrat's) or several (the democrats').

You may think correcting grammar is cheap and easy, but I figure if you have in fact written a grammatically correct sentence, but one which has a meaning completely different from what I think you mean, than some clarification is in order.

This strip would be perfect. It's obviously right about Cheney, but also does a surprisingly good job explaining/exemplifying some very challenging ideas in quantum physics.

Check your arrogance. Also check my other posts in this forum. I do not give neither (that;s a good one Isnt' it) democrats nor republicans the benefit of being properized in any form, shape, or way. Also note the unwritten rule of not correcting anything but the most egregious misuse of grammer (she's in the kitchen baking biscuits), spelling (vice Spelling, which would denote a producer of television programs), or punctillation (or punctuation) in on-line blogs or reader forums. That is a practice of polite society. In other words, keep your snot in your own nose.

I find this whole "science" concept very confusing. Would you please simplify it for me, by explaining whether or not God is on Cheney's side?

Great strip! It put me in mind of Major Major Major Major in

"Catch-22". He instructed his secretary to tell visitors to his office he was in when he was out and out when he was in.

I have a theory about what happens in the vice president's residence at night.

Lynne Cheney takes Dick down to a secret lab in the basement. She hooks him up to a bunch of wires attached to a lot of machines, all of which use gobs of electricity* and she re-charges the Frankenstein-monster so he can go out and terrorize for yet another day.

*This theory came about a few years ago when I learned Cheney submitted a huge bill to the Navy for electricity to the vice president's residence, which is managed under the auspices of the Navy.
