Gone
Fishin'
 President
Obama is taking some time off for a well-deserved vacation
at Martha's Vineyard and the way the bellowing baboons
in the right-wing media are reacting you'd think they'd
caught him skeet-shooting pandas in the cement pond
out back
of th' White House.
Let me take a moment to put this into perspective...
So far Mr. Obama has taken just 70 vacation days. By
this point in George
W. Bush's
first term in office the little quisling had taken
225 vacation days. All while America was under
attack, in dire financial straits, one war was under
way, and another was being
planned.
So, seriously, right-wing assholes, shut the hell
up! We'll ask you if we need anything from you... which
we don't.

 Rachel
Maddow and Keith Olbermann are my fave TV news analysts,
but my cherished, can't-miss-a-show radio personality
and political debunker
is Randi Rhodes.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is
the brightest
human
I've ever encountered. She is always WAY ahead of the
curve when it comes to the body politic.
Unlike most right-wing call-in
shows she does not screen her calls so everybody is
welcome to join the conversation, but heaven help the
fool
for she does not suffer them gladly.
If you
really want to know more about what's going on in this
country, listen
to Randi. She's live and streamable Monday-Friday
from 2-5 PM CST.

While writing jokes for this past
Wednesday's Raging Pencils comic, which apparently
no one liked except
little old me, I ended up with a boat-load
of similar gags that ridiculed the same deeply held
belief. So rather than unload one more crummy joke
on you,
my beloved readers, I thought I'd scattershot the whole
wad of them at once and hope something sticks.
And it's B&W because I don't have a free week to color
it, so use your fevered little imaginations.

Republican Job Creation Update
 "We're
going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs." -
John Boehner, February 10, 2011.
The following is #68 in a list of Republican
job creation activities
since they gained control of the House in 2011. None,
sad to
say,
have
yet to result in one, single new job.
(68) 8-19-2011: Hey, look! Good old Darrell Issa, Republican,
has hired a guy named Peter Haller to help effect new
regulations for banks like Goldman Sachs. Unfortunately,
Mr.
Heller used to be called Peter Simonyi when he was
a vice president for (wait for it) Goldman Sachs. Oh,
you can bet you boots there's nothing underhanded about
hiding behind another name. Not a thing. Nada. Zip.
Zero.
Uh boy.

Dump Fox News
 And
what manner of lie is Fox News spewing today? They're
blaming Mr. Obama for a child-poverty
report that spanned
George Bush's term in office.
