choke on my own vomit.

This is like a Glenn Greenwald column condensed into a cartoon. Great stuff!

Sorry, won't happen. That would require far too much work for anyone on either side of the screen. And as a kiss of death, it wouldn't help sponsors sell a single extra car, french fry, or cell phone.

Now shut up and pass me the dip ...

I think the polls showed that most Democratic voters preferred Edwards' views. What a tragedy for the country that every media outlet including NPR and PBS are filled with stupid and lazy reporters that are in love with themselves and in love with the horse race aspects.

When did NPR last provide quality coverage of the election? My guess it was mid 80s and when their top reporters were hungry and not yet the standard guests for so many of the network shows.

Yeah Jeanette, it's like that, only if Glenn Greenwald wasn't such a long-winded narcissist who also squats to pee.

I just wish there were some way I could stuff this cartoon up Wolf Blitzer's ass with a broomstick.

I used to take some comfort from finding that I wasn't the only one thinking that there'd been a literal coup, and that there was a corporate junta in control of our country. But with the way this election's playing out -- with the media and "our" own politicians colluding in the takeover (or rather, the leveraged buyout, with our children's children's incomes as the lever) of our economy, our military, our freedoms, and our futures, there's no comfort to be found in any validation that it's all too real.

I had a friend in the 80s who defended his voting for Ray-gun on the grounds that it would hasten the revolution. Maybe we really do need literal blood in the streets before Americans wake up to what's being done to us.

I thought it was brilliant and succinct.

The United States has become such a surreal environment under the current regime, the only thing left for Bush to do is start a war with Iran and declare martial law so he can suspend elections and rule until the end of the war on terra...

As an Edwards supporter, I've been outraged by the media "coverage" of the primaries. The only candidate with real substance is bring ignored while they force-feed us the "which historic first will it be? Woman or black?!" line of bullshit. What they should really be asking us is "Corporatist sell-out or empty suit? You decide! Oh, I guess there's a guy somewhere back there talking about the real issues, but he's a boring white male with gay poofy haircuts. Just ignore him."

But then, this is what happens when an anti-corporatist, anti-rich bastards candidate is "covered" by news media owned by corporations headed by rich bastards.

Why the fuck aren't news organizations required to be non-profit?

Are happily obsessed with 60/60/24/7/365 election coverage.

but I have to go now . . . there's a piece on Brittany's obit coming up after the hour . . .

Hits too close to the truth. Poor old Liberty.

Hey Nulla, didst thou partake of too much Mad Dog 20-20 and fall into a thesaurus?

I, and my cloistered ilk, must now preprare for the day's labors......but, if may I say, there's nothing like the smell of trolls in the morning.

Sounds like you've got a personal problem with Mr. Greenwald, and I'll kindly thank you to keep me out of it.

This was by far one of the funniest Tom Tomorrow comic strips I have read. Thanks for the good work.

Salon rambles on about Hillary Clinton and champions her in every column and at this point I know more about fuckin Mike Huckabee than any other candidate from any party. John Edwards has been completely shut out of your coverage as well and the crap I read about the Obama/Clinton smackdowns is fucking useless.

Salon is just as guilty but your a little bit worse for complaining about other outlets doing it.

So far as I am aware Tom Tomorrow does not reflect the views of Salon - Salon just pays him for the right to run his cartoon, what actually goes into it is up to him, within reason.

I enjoy the "This Modern World" cartoons but it's ironic Salon runs him when they are as guilty as everyone else. The worst part is they should know better and do better.

Follow the advice in the cartoon Salon.

has been classified as "Super Tip-Top Secret".

Any one who discusses the issues is obviously trying to destroy the morale of our troops and thus give aid and comfort to the enemy.

MISS LIBERTY should have SMACKED these TWO DUNG-dits(pundits full of DUNG) on the head with her "Torch of Freedom" and KICKED the _HIT out of these two BOMBASTIC IMBECILES, instead of PITIFULLY WITHERING AWAY the way she did! POW! RIGHT IN THE LABONZA, baby!!!!! Does ONE of the DUNG-dits resemble Fred Barnes? WELL DONE, Tom Tomorrow, your wit is SPARKLING as usual, TOO BAD Miss Liberty's Torch wasn't sparkling here as well!

and sadly, the media didn't learn anything from it, either.

is not necessarily going well for the people of america. tough!

it's yer own damn fault.

get behind mike gravel's 'initiative for democracy', and when you establish citizen oversight of the federal government, start making that government accountable.

oh! too hard? then go back to wringing your hands and crying out: "somebody odda do something!"

there would 500 posts by now, most of them in the form of verbal circle jerks.

If it was a GG column, there would 500 posts by now, most of them in the form of verbal circle jerks.

Wrong; there would certainly be a few more, if you include the turd-sniffing rodents like you, who stick their greasy snouts into the circle in order to lick up the excess.

How's the light down there in the basement with your Transformer toys?

Or more than just Hillary vs. Obama, and then Huckabee Christian this & that?

For the past 30 days, searching the Archives, I get for number of results:

Rudy Giuliani 49

Fred Thompson 52

Ron Paul 69

John Edwards 76

John McCain 79

Mitt Romney 90

Mike Huckabee 101

Barack Obama 132

Hillary Clinton 204

The funny thing is that currently Edwards is polling ahead of Huckabee and Romney (and Giuliani) -- from the Diageo/Hotline Poll conducted by Financial Dynamics. Jan. 10-12, 2008. N=803 registered voters nationwide. MoE ± 3.5. -- off http://www.pollingreport.com/wh08gen.htm

Odd that there is not much front page coverage of Edwards here on Salon. Does he not get the ad hits? Is he too boring to write about? What's behind it, I wonder?

Interestingly also, if you look through those recent polls, Edwards name is not mentioned very much at all (usually voters get the options of Other/Neither/Unsure instead.)

It's really striking how the media picks a few candidates to cover and that's all most people consider... and then the chute narrows down dramatically fast and we get the front runners handed to us a year prior?

It seems to me that candidates who might have had a fighting chance if their ideas were given more coverage instead get prematurely dumped based on not being the golden anointed one.
