DISQUS

"Cut taxes, not defense"? War is by far the biggest tax sink. But argue that these wars aren't necessary or justified and it will be like arguing with creationists - you just can't get through to these people that decision makers are not always - and in fact, frequently - not acting in their interest or the nation's. They'll dig their heels in and defend the worst, most unforgivable sort of corruption and call it family values.

...La corona? ;-)

I like that, but I'd recommend that he leave off the part about "striving for an ASU degree" because people might think he's being sarcastic. This isn't Harvard we're talking about..

George W. Bush was given honorary degrees by Yale and Notre Dame in 2001 and LSU in 2004. (And many more, I'm sure; those were the first few I found.) The Yale Daily News noted that his degree in 2001 was given with his father's history in mind; apparently his Bush Sr. received his own honorary degree from Yale in 1991, three years into his presidency, and was peeved that it took three years.

ASU's defense of their decision is laughable. Why not just say "We're very conservative here and just don't like the President"?

If you quote an April Fools' joke without identifying it as such, are you perpetrating your own April Fools' joke, or are you just falling for someone else's?

I didn't laugh until I read the comments, in what I think is a brilliant twist of humor, both the knight AND the readers become confused! :)

See what gas prices have done...

A large part of the appeal of this comic, when it's not being brilliant in another way, is figuring out the humor. This could have been done better with no text, especially if the second panel clearly showed an expression of complete bewilderment on Marry Poppins' face, which would have carried the joke completely. No text definitely captures the zen of this comic more strongly; I think the author should be very careful not to take the 'I don't get it' crowd too seriously.

The question in my mind is:

Is the nomination process a CNN network spin-off of some "Surviors 'Reality' " show or were those shows based on presidential election politics?

When confornted with McCain vs. Obama/Clinton, I find I must fall back on advice from Patrick O'Brien: "You must always choose the lesser of two weevils".

According to an article by Bill Roggio on this attack, the Pakistani troops consisted of "paramilitary soldiers of the Frontier Corps". While I don't have all that much confidence in the ability of the regular Army, I think this may have been a much softer target than a unit of regulars would have been.

I'm actually much more interested in thr woman. How did the cops find her and what's her phone number?
