The one with the infant floating face-down in the kiddie pool while the Mom gossips over the fence? Oh yeah.

His comment about the cost of healthcare will remain with us for a long time. He said and I paraphrase, “If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait until it is free.”

Mark Steyn is very funny but he comes out a theater tradition which I would naturally enjoy. Most of these newspaper “humorists” just don’t make me laugh.

At one time NatLamp had a link to the original article, which I posted on a thread back in ‘99. It lasted for about four hours before JimRob caught wind and deleted it.

Then it went downhill fast.

Yeah, it did. We used to subscribe to it, but eventually it became so sophomoric and unfunny that we cancelled.

Not to belabor it but think of the days when Mark Twain, Bret Harte, James Townsend and Ambrose Beirce wrote for the papers, a tradition continuing on up to Will Rogers.

Another indication of just how far the papers have fallen.

Cats are rarely wrong. You, OTOH, are just typing what the cats tell you to.

Actually all I ever DO is what they tell me to.

And when I get that wrong I hear about it.
