Free comics
every Monday, Wednesday & Friday!
Looking for a specific Rage Comic and/or
Rant and can't find it?
And
Then They Woke Up.
 As
though reports of a police force that is randomly brutalizing
the American populace isn't a big enough clue, it's
true to say that the
Patriot
Act has virtually eliminated the Bill of Rights.
And before some wise-acre Libertarian makes the claim
that their IS no Social Security trust fund you might
want to read
this first.
----------------
Today's comic (Apologies to Eric "The
Very Hungry Caterpillar" Carle) actually came to me
in a dream last night, but little did
I suspect
that
it
would
turn out to be a mini-nightmare as this was a lot of
pages to assemble. I hope you enjoy it. (Note:
At the urging of readers I made the "Next" button a
tad
more
prominent.)
For some time I've been telling myself that I would
stick to a schedule of blasphemous comics on Mondays,
political comics on Wednesdays, and pot-luck gags
on Fridays, but it's never really worked out that way.
Some interesting news event, like mass slaughter, always
seem to pop up and divert my concentration.
So here's the new plan: Like it or not I'm going full-throttle
with political-based material all the way to November
6th. My humble little strip doesn't honestly hold that
much sway in public opinion but I figger every little
bit helps.
And away we go.

 Will
you be voting absentee this November but don't know
what to do about it?
Then check out the Long
Distance Voter. Not only can
you register to vote, and verify your registration,
you can also request an absentee ballot.

Oh,
That Mitt.
 Mitt
Romney tells 533 lies in 30 weeks. Care to
read them all?
------------
Mitt has been using the slogan "Keep
America American" for the past year or so. It also happens
to be an old KKK slogan. I wish I were kidding.
-------------
Mittens was down in Louisiana surveying
the damage of Hurricane Isaac and insulting
the homeless. At
one point he asked Governor Jindal "Where
did the water
come
from?" I wish I were kidding.
-------------
What did the Wall Street Journal
think of Mr. Romney's acceptance speech? "Too
vague." From
the article: "The WSJ warned that if Romney doesn't
define his own
policies, Democrats will do it for him."
-------------
Romney's veep, Paul Ryan, boasted he ran a marathon
in under three hours. Not
even close. This guy will
lie about anything.
-------------
During his speech Mitt Romney beat
the drums for war against Iran (War is very profitable
for corporations
and other heartless entities) yet he didn't mention
the soldiers still fighting
in Afghanistan. Shame
on ya, Mitt. Shame on ya indeed.

Quote For The Day
"Am I better off than four years ago? You mean besides when we were in midst
of
global
economic
crisis,
economy in free-fall, and the world was teetering on the edge of global Depression? Well,
then, yeah." - Josh Marshall

President Obama's Top 50 Accomplishments
Number 35: Let Space
Shuttle Die and Killed Planned Moon Mission
 Allowed
the expensive ($1 billion per launch), badly designed,
dangerous shuttle program to make its final launch on
July 8, 2011. Cut off funding for even more bloated and
problem-plagued Bush-era Constellation program to build
moon base in favor of support for private-sector low-earth
orbit ventures, research on new rocket technologies for
long-distance manned flight missions, and unmanned space
exploration, including the largest interplanetary rover
ever launched, which will investigate Mars’s potential
to support life.
For the full list of his 50 finest achievements read the Washington
Monthly story.

THE VERY POWER HUNGRY CONSERVATIVE
Once upon a time a little Conservative was born, and
it was very power hungry, so it ate the Constitution.
But it got a stomach ache so it fed on a big tax cut,
and it felt much better. But he was still power hungry.
So he ate all the media. But he was still power hungry
So he ate a president. But he was still power hungry
So he ate an election. But he was still power hungry
So he ate the Fourth Amendment.
...and the Fifth Amendment.
...and the Sixth Amendment.
...and the Seventh Amendment.
...and the Eighth Amendment.
...and the Ninth Amendment.
...and the Tenth Amendment.
...and the Thirteenth Amendment.
Bill of Rights. (enumerate them, freedom of assembly,
etc.) But he was still power hungry
So he ate all the small home-owners. But he was still
power hungry
So he ate the democratic process.
By now the little Conservative was a very big Conservative,
but he was still power hungry.
So he looked around and found the only thing big enough
for it to eat. Social Security trust fund.
And when at last every penny has been consumed he will
turn his vast, swollen belly to the sun and dream that
he is a beautiful butterfly.
Until he remembers he has yet to kill the minimum wage,
abolish the EPA, or end the food stamp program.
The End.
