A baby's arm holding an apple?
How about an autographed picture of Randolph Mantooth?

A baby's arm holding an apple
I believe the source for this may be Terry Southern in his novel Blue Movie (1972).

Plasmatronic!
Platinum cherry bunker buster! Fratricidal cheesecake! Explicitly pseudo-marshmallow!

They were crazy - not stupid.

Not the scariest thing
The scariest thing is how far people will go to remain wrong. I had a coworker convinced of several - odd things.
First was that we had found WMD's in Iraq, but the "liberal media" was covering it up. When I pointed out that sure, we had found 10 year old munitions but not the "current and ongoing" labs that we were told existed, he pointed out the buried old crap as proof.
We were talking about nominees, and he said he could never vote for Obama because he was a Muslim. When I pointed out that a) no he wasn't, and b) even if he was, why did it matter, the response was "Look at his name! He's a Muslim!"
And finally, the Rush thing, that people were accusing Rush of calling Iraq war veteran protesters "phony soldiers". He had the transcript that proved otherwise.
"Dude, that's the doctored version by Rush. They didn't start talking about fake soldiers until 90 seconds later - before that, they were only talking about veterans who opposed the war."
He shook his head at me sadly. "That can't be - Rush said that this was true."
And then it all made sense. Rush said it was true. If it turned out that one thing Rush had said was a lie, then what? What would that say about my coworker - that he had spent years being dumb enough believing a lie, defending a lie?
Evidently, it was easier to go on believing a lie than just say "Huh. Guess I was wrong."
Which is why no matter what happens, Bush will *always* get 25% of the population to support him.

The quote is from Lenny Bruce
http://tinyurl.com/2lrb4x
Filipinos come quick; colored men are buil[t] abnormally large (“Their wangs look like a baby’s arm with an apple in its fist”); ladies with short hair are lesbians; if you want to keep your man, rub alum on your pussy.
Such bits of erotic folklore were related daily to my mother by Mrs. Janesky...
—Lenny Bruce, How to Talk Dirty and Influence People (1960), p. 1
What does it say about this week's strip that all the letters are about this?

Richard Perle: Contestant # 3, where did you get your rose-colored glasses?
Contestant #3: 9/11!
Richard Perle: Correct!! Don Pardo, tell him what he's won!
Don Pardo: Contestant # 3, you are the winner of a lifetime supply of political misdoings for the republican party without any guilt of conscience or consequence!
Contestant # 3: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!
Richard Perle: And for our parting contestants, Contestants #s 2 & 3, please accept our gifts of misery, resentment, and loss of hope for the future!

We know the same guy, johnhummel
Does your Rush moron fly flags in his yard? The guy I know does.
Just before the '04 election he saw my Kerry sticker and gripped, "I'd put a Bush/Cheney sticker on my car, but some librul would vandalize it."
Days later somebody key scratched my car, right above the Kerry sticker.
I started to have a conversation with this moron about Fox 'news' one time, but we didn't get far. I was ready to concede to him that at the time, Fox had more reporters in the field overseas than CNN did, even though Fox was looking at things from a right perspective. But before I could even hand him this little victory, he angrily corrected me (and I mean angry!) "Fox is not biased," he shouted in my face. "You libruls think it's biased because all the rest of the media in this country is so far to the Left!" He stopped talking and gave me a cold stare that indicated the next thing I said better be carefully chosen or it was "go time." I thought about giving him the old Rochambeau right in the huevos, but wasn't about to start a fist fight with a gun nut.
I stopped talking to this crazy bastard after that. What would be the point? He lives in "Fox World," and "Rush World" where he's smug and safe. He has no doubts about anything. He never questions anything. He doesn't have to. All he knows and needs to know comes to him through right wing media.
God is in heaven, the flag is flapping on the pole, and Rush is on the radio. The blissful life.

Brilliant

Hey Poco, how you going to act when Hillary is president?
Man, it's going to be rough for you. Four years of seeing everything Bush and the Neoclowns rolled back, deconstructed, trashed.
How are you going to keep from shooting at your TV screen when you see Hillary give out one of her now famous cackles? She's going to be cackling right in your face. It'll be like getting water-boarded just watching the evening news.
How are you going to live when everything you stand for comes crashing down like an imploded old Las Vegas casino, in ruins. The whole corrupt Neo-Con agenda on the trash heap of history.
How you gonna act, Poco boy?
You gonna live in a state of misery and free-floating rage? Are you going to yell at your TV? Are you going to go into a deep depression and wake in the middle of the night from angry dreams about some news story of another Democrat victory in the Congress?
Mmmm. It's going to be so sweeeeet, Poco boy.
It's coming and you know it's coming and you can't do a damn thing about it. The country is turning back to center. The Republicans are already putting their Washington town houses and condos on the market because they know they are going home in January of '09.
And you and the other Cons? Well, you are just going to be like a bunch of incontinent old bags, pissing yourselves with every jolt, on a bumpy bus ride down to Loser Town!
