Let's
Phage the Music and Dance.
 A 2011
Gallup poll revealed that 43% of Americans
do not hold the tenets of evolution to be acceptable.
I suppose this fundamental chunk of the populace must
think some big, hairy, white guy living
in
the clouds created all known life.
Wacky, eh?
One major argument by these otherwise fine folks is
that evolution cannot possibly be real because we can't
see it in action. We don't, for instance, ever see
a fry
cook spontaneously growing a third arm, the better
to slather mayonnaise on a
bun and pick his nose while simultaneously keeping
the rats at bay with the salad tongs.
So the problem, as I see it, is one
of scale. If,
instead of the six-foot mammals we are, we
lived our
lives
as
sentient
bacteria
we'd
much more easily perceive the effects of evolution
wreaking havoc on our lives, higgledy-piggledy.
And yet, no doubt there would still be creationist
bacteria infesting the populace, waiting expectantly for
their Anti-bacterial Armageddon. And in this regard,
they'd probably be correct.

Who
Wants to Be A Cartoon Character?
 We're
in the home stretch for Raging Pencils Narcissist Hullabaloo and eBay Snipe-Off and
I wish to thank everyone who's shown an interest in
my desperate little ploy for attention thus far.
If case you're new here the high-bidder
of this particular eBay
auction will get to have the face of his or her choice
caricatured in a future Raging Pencils cartoon.
I say
"face of choice" because this prize would
also make a great gift. Just imagine your mother's
expression when she opens Raging Pencils home page
one day in the near future and beholds a vague facsimile
of herself concussing a Wall Street oligarch with the
aid of an oversized George W. Bush
butt
plug. It'll be a magic moment, one that will be discussed
at your funeral for years to come.
The auction ends at 9:30 AM CST, on Monday the 21st of May. And to all
of those who bid and don't win I'd like you to remember the soothing words of
my
uncle
Phil: "Auction, schmauction. Just
send
the
money by
mail. Cash, no checks."
I hate uncle Phil.

Republican Job Creation Update
 5-18-2012: The
House passed a watered-down Violence Against Women
Act. Basically, if you're an immigrant or a native
American woman, you're fair game for any sadist.
They'll pass a major defense funding bill tomorrow
and then
will
take
the next
week off. No jobs were created.
Note for posterity: Today marked the largest number
of visitors to the republicanjobcreation.com web
site since its inception. Numbers are still coming
in fast and heavy as I write this but it's very gratifying
that
people
are
taking
notice.
