The progressive editorial cartoon about using guns to put food on the table.




start rant

You're Got.... Nothing!

My internet connection died Monday night about 11PM CST. The technician from AT&T arrived 18 hours later and said "Sorry. We're going to have to run new lines. See you on Wednesday."

Sigh.

So the cartoon you're seeing now is visible only through the technical grace of cell phone hotspotting, using the clunkiest uploading method known to man that doesn't involve two sticks and a big rock.

As I'm unable to surf the 'net for the latest in news there will be no Lefty News today (sorry eddi).

--------------

As for Rants, I got to wondering the other day "What if there had been no rubber plant in this world? How crippled would technological advancements, especially those regarding personal automotive travel, have
been? And what if our ancestors had eradicated all the rubber trees (and other latex-bearing flora) as nuisance plants long before the horseless carriage had been invented?"

We take this sort of serendipitous thing for granted. In the same way that we take Democracy for granted. Don't.

Whew! eddi. You've been a busy bee.

For more theory, on where book bans will take us, I strongly recommend reading Ray Bradbury's terrific book, "Fahrenheit 451." To give you a clue, that's the temperature at which paper catches fire.

Missing a softball like this proves I'll never replace Lefty as a news aggravator. er aggregator.

What if I don't like a book for nonsexual or non racist reason?

I find your use of metaphors tiring and it should be in a first person voice. There was a spelling error on page 73 and bad syntax on page 142.

Your book offends me....

It is what they a galloping towards. Only state approved and state edited books will be allowed.

Everyone (free readers) has read a book that started out slow or plodding but somehow gave it a chance. For me there're a couple that turned out to be all time favorites. And those that didn't get a second look from me? Forgot the title almost as soon as the hit the desk.

The real difference between us and the refucks? I have no problem letting you read what I don't like.

For an imaginative answer, Lefty, may I suggest The Daybreak Series, by John Barnes. No rubber, no fossil fuels, and not much electronics. And the last president to boot!
