I'm working on a much longer diary which involved transcribing, not only two segments of The Rachel Maddow Show from last night, but also a segment of Reel Time with Bill Maher, where Ron Christie was one of the panelist. I should get extra brownie points for suffering through what Christie is saying, having to rewind several times to make sure I get it exactly right. If he says, the fact of the matter is one more time, I may do damage to the television set. But, no, I have to control myself and get through this. It's important.
Anyway, my husband just handed me the newspaper and said, "read this." It was today's Doonesbury cartoon-strip. I read it and immediately burst out laughing. With Clint Eastwood still dominating the news cycles, and people out there coming up with new examples of Eastwooding, I thought this was a timely reminder that we should not let ourselves be distracted for too long. So get ye self over to Slate and check it out.
Thank you, Garry Trudeau, for a much needed laugh break, and for reminding me to say this: "Hey Mitt, we still want to see you income tax returns!"
Willard Mitt Romney
"We the People", the working class, the people whose jobs you outsourced and whose pensions you stole, the people whose lives you and your Wall St. banksters ruined. We will not take "no" for an answer. Show us your papers, Mr. Romney! Now!!
