How can someone be so right about so many things?

This Modern World is a class act.

Did he really say that? Surely even his audience isn't that stupid! If they are, the conservative movement is even more dangerous then we thought!

than groveling for a buck.

..."subjective and altogether inadequate" describes both Tom Tomorrow's navel-staring egotism and your constant bitching on entertainment threads about the war. If you want to bitch about the war, go to Democratic Underground where there are lots of people eager to moan with you. Either that, or go back to your announcer work with Morgo the Friendly Drelb.

But there are so many including sadly, those of the Speaker of the Mouse, who said she would run the lobbyists out of Washington.

Yeah, but these things just drop into your laps these days. Comedians and cartoonists haven't had to do an honest days' work since Bush, Jr. ran for the presidency - and lost! Bwa ha ha ha!

See how easy it is? The whole political system has become a carnival of the absurd. No satire needed. Just the facts, ma'am.

Am I wrong it is this tomreedtoon chartacter just a dickhead.

You are incorrect. Tomreedtoon is not a dickhead he is a wanker, there is a difference.

Now, watch Gary Owen snatch the carrot for Glenn!

OPUS also wants a peanut butter smeared carrot too.

I always let you have your say, why won't you let me have mine?

You seem to be very good at offering me places I could go. Let me give you one: Go fuck yourself.

And call off the Mad Minute because there's a friendly coming through the wire at zero-dark-thirty. He's ridin' on top of a flying deuce n' half pulled by tiny Montagnard deer. He's gonna stop by your hootch and drop off all kinds of goodies. So be sure and leave him some pound cake, beans and weenies and some "Con Sau" for his pipe. (Like the 1st Cav, he always stokes up before heading out.)

Hang in there man. The seed catalogs are going to be showing up on January 3. I'm thinking heirloom tomatoes, some Kohlrabi, Swiss chard, lots of onions and turnip greens. Of course, none of that grows out here so all I'll do is think about it. Maybe Vons will start carrying that stuff.

Tom Tomorrow is a fine cartoon strip. Sparky the Penguin is the real deal. Anybody don't like that? Bite me.

He's still crapping his pants because Col. Steve Boylan won't return his emails anymore. Poor Glenn. Nobody takes him seriously.

Today he is holding his breath until his face turns blue because an Iraqi photographer and part-time Associated Press stringer is getting a raw deal from the Pentagon and the Iraqi "provisional government."

While it is true that Bilal Hussein is getting reamed. Glenn Dweebwall has done no original reporting on the subject because he is where he usually is, parked at a corner table in Starbucks, cutting and pasting other people's reporting and then calling himself a journalist. Glenn Dweebwall is whining today about the "right wing bloggers used by the Pentagon and the U.S. Military to disseminate its selective propaganda." But do you think Dweebwall would get off his skinny ass and go do some original investigative reporting instead of just parroting Harper's Scott Horton? Oh no! He wouldn't do that. It's easier just to cut and paste. Besides, Dweebwall has tried to get somebody at the Pentagon to talk to him, but it turns out that he is not important enough for them to bother with him. Poor Dweebwall gets so mad he turns purple and stamps his feet. He wants so bad to be a real journalist.

But he won't leave the safety of the Starbucks! Besides, he's got a condo down in Brazil with his significant other where he can sit back and shoot spitwads at the military from a safe distance.

He says, "I don't want to excerpt much of Horton's post because I want to encourage as many people as possible to read it in full."

Actually, he doesn't want to excerpt much of Horton's post because Harper's is copyrighted and Glenn Dweebwall knows he can't just lift the whole article for his blog without paying a royalty.

And then Dweebwall made me giggle when he wrote: "After reviewing the facts he learned, this is what Horton concludes:"

See, Glenn Dweebwall can't even come up with his own conclusions, he just rips off Horton's conclusions.

But in true Glenn Dweebwall fashion, he just can't let resist reminding everybody that actually, he's been saying the same thing as Horton all along, as if Horton is just now catching up with the mighty Starbucks key-pounder:

"For those interested, I've written numerous times about the Bilal Hussein case, including here and here, with interviews of AP executives here."

Oh OK. For "those interested." Umm humm. Who would be interested, your mom?

Get another foamy latte there Glenn boy, that blogging is thirsty work!

GO, sounds a little like Sir Richard Burton in "The Jew, the Gipsy and el Islam." Maybe a little extreme but it's a point of view. Or is there some truth there?

Your letters section has now become unworkable.

Please initiate some sort of peer rating system, or SOMEthing. Please?

For models, DKos is the only one I've seen that more or less works, at least it keeps one obnoxious individual from monopolizing and flaming every thread. Woth considering.

The way it is here now, anyone could send one letter per minute saying nothing but "Duh", repeated over and over. While this would actually be slightly more intelligent and interesting than some of what we have to wade through here, it would still be a nuisance.

"SAN JOSE, Costa Rica -- Costa Rican agents made the largest marijuana bust in the Central American nation's history, seizing 4.85 tons of the drug found in an abandoned boat, police said Saturday."

Looks like Californians are going to be really cranky in the new year.

"The marijuana — enough to roll 17,600 joints, police said — was discovered Friday during a patrol with the U.S. Coast Guard off the country's Pacific coast, Costa Rican police said in a statement."

But have you ever noticed how the "officials" do their math?

Here you've got 4.85 tons of weed and that's enough to roll 17,600 "joints" (Anybody heard that archaic term since 1980?)

So you got approximately 4.85 tons, or about 10,864 lbs. And 10,864 lbs. converted to ounces is 173,824 ounces of boo. So you divide those 17,600 "joints" into 173,824 ounces and you get each "joint" weighing in at approximately 9.876 ounces.

Those guys at the Drug Enforcement Agency roll some real "fatties" don't they?

(Disclaimer) I quit using that stuff back in the 70s. My lungs can't take it.)

The ship's crew fled, abandoning their 48-foot-long boat near the border with Panama, where they appear to have fled, police said. No arrests have been made.

They fled? No arrests have been made? No shit?

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!
