Leftists Discover Today's Toons

HOMAGE TO P. LATTRAUX! I'm a little sluggish this morning, so let's do like showbiz professionals and turn to the sure-fire: Friday Toons at FreeRepublic.

Today's reading of the rightwing id shows signs of malaise -- the Miers episode clearly left a bad taste (in both senses of the term: see the Kristosl Pee-shop file) -- but nothing that can't be dispelled by hate, hate, hate for Hillary! (And, for the nostalgic, John Kerry.)

For close readers, we have a nice lineup of race-related conservatoons that lay out the party line: 1.) Liberals don't respect black people; 2.) Black people (excepting those that look like an ectomorphic Ziggy) don't respect black people; and 3.) the new version of the old slogan is, "Democrats *** dogs to make hippies."

They're all over the Condi Photoshop incident, but approve this caricature, which makes the Secretary of State look like Alfred E. Neuman after a severe beating.

I'm not sure I get this one -- why is Shelley Long celebrating our 2,000th Iraq casualty? And a comment sent me to the Faithmouse site, where I was confronted with this -- evidently aimed at Garrison Keillor (see "alt" text), but for what? Maybe the artist is mad at Keillor for something he did in a dream...

All and all, pretty tame -- but that's what happens when enterprising citizen journalists discover a hot underground craze: the weekends become bridge-and-tunneltime, and one must drop by on Thursdays for the real thing. Paydirt: This is my favorite cartoonist of 2005 -- he makes Gary Panter look like Piranesi! Not even Google knows him. But I do, and now so do you. Spread the word: in this heavily-armed survivalist camp lives a genius. You read it here first!

Yes, his Shelley Long is Randi Rhodes.

His hotlinks are mostly from HERE.

I know, Pookie, I read your 'toons every morning (and love them).

I was just commenting that the reason why I couldn't understand what he was going on about until I read his blog is because the post here was missing the links. Without the links, it read like a Scrabble board.

Yes, I meant to comment in the original post (re clicking on the supplied link to get his live links), but forgot :-(

Dear Apfel,

I think you pretty much figured out the whole problem. When you listen to a Democrat all you get is the text but there are missing links. <---(This sounded so much funnier in my head).

And, on an aside, WHO IN THE &%$! mistakes Randi Rhodes, of Hot Air America, for Shelley Long!? Granted, I aren't too swift before the first morning's cup but puhlease. Al Franken's probably rolling over in his coffin (Vampire? Sucking up money? Nevermind).

But I did see he has been watching Fox. I swear the only channel I EVER heard the word bloviating on was Fox (although it might have also been in a porno movie but I can't swear to that). Nice to know he takes in quality programming.

Enough of me. Thanks, pookie18. Nice to see a weekend you now and then. Makes me believe in winning the lottery. :-)

God bless our troops wherever they may be.

Always here on the weekends...just not posting toons. Currently putting together toon threads for Mon. & Tues.

I hope you don't think I'm baggin' on you, Pookie. A decent writer should be able to segue his links a little bit better than that blogger did, and that's all I'm saying (IE the text should be able to stand on its own without having to rely on an "examples crutch").

My mornings are as follows: Wake up, bathroom, caffeine, Pookie's morning 'toons. Weekends seem a little hollow without them. Keep up the great work.

By the way: I never understood the appeal of reading an opinion blog of any sort. It's like admiring someone's unflushed poo.

Like the saying goes: Opinions are like ay-holes. It's that the really runny ones become bloggers.

Congratulations Pookie!

You are now a bellwether, an icon, an individual pointing the direction of Conservative thought. You are the glimpse into the right wing psyche and the example of our moods.

Of course, that and a buck might get you a cup of java. ;)

I see that Roy went to the "avoid writing a direct, coherent phrase" school of journalism. Or is that what passes for intellectualism nowadays?

LOL! That is what I was thinking when I finally muddled through the thing.

I think this comment says about all that needs to be said regarding his lame blog:
BLOGROLL ME! PLEASE! ISN'T IT OBVIOUS THAT I DESPERATELY NEED ATTENTION?
Yes, it is obvious.

I understand, but didn't take it that way.

My mornings are as follows: Wake up, bathroom, caffeine, Pookie's morning 'toons. Weekends seem a little hollow without them. Keep up the great work.

A little FYI. I have/had categories for my pings. SUPERSIZED=50-99 toons/pics, ULTRA-SUPERSIZED=100-149, MEGA ULTRA-SUPERSIZED=150+. I usually used to have the largest amounts after a weekend, but then found that there was only a paltry amt. for Tues. (as some main sources don't update on Mon., etc.). I started going to a uniform amt. of 50 each weekday which I like...so you're getting 250/week & I think that's a good daily/weekly number...don't want to dilute the daily # by posting on weekends.

By the way: I never understood the appeal of reading an opinion blog of any sort. It's like admiring someone's unflushed poo.

You're prescient to some extent...check out Monday's ping...

Fortunately, I'm not a coffee drinker...would rather buck the Dims anyway.

...commensurate with my fictitious pay increase...

Lemme see... 10% of nothing is... doing the math......
NOTHING!

Since you are not a coffee drinker: That and 50 cents will get you a can of Pepsi out of our machine at work. Or: that and about three bucks will get you a chai at Starbucks.

Looking forward to the toons Monday!

No tea, no soda...think I'm better off with just keeping that cash windfall.

Looking forward to the toons Monday!

They're ready to go, but you'll have to wait an extra hour (if you remember to turn your clock back tonight)...
