This would have been a great bit of timing if Blazek had scheduled it for yesterday instead of last Saturday. For my part, if I were going to have a press conference about a particular drug, I’d make sure I could pronounce it before I made an ass of myself in front of the whole […]
This is going to be a very random day, and I’m starting by acknowledging Paul Berge’s commentary on a TV station that fired its meteorologist over an anti-Musk posting she had on her personal Instagram page. Firing her was an overreaction, but we’re likely to see a lot of similar overreactions over the next four […]
As noted recently, I’m tired of politics and a little burned out in general, so I’m turning the blog over to a guest commentator today, and I’m sure it will be very well-handled. You won’t believe how well-handled this is going to be. Very well. Handled.His handling of the commentary will not be questioned. (Pros and Cons) […]
Greg Cravens provides the best analysis of the Batman v Superman dust-up in today’s Buckets.I have nothing to add except that sometimes “I don’t get it” is an insightful response, and, in this case, we grandpas need to stick together on accounta we’re right.I’ll also add that today was full of comics that I really liked […]
(Kevin Kallaugher) (Clay Jones)We’ll start the new week with a Juxtaposition about the start of the actual choosing, and the ephemeral nature of caring about Iowa or New Hampshire, though we ought not to forget that Iowa has ethanol and large pork factories, so it won’t slip off the radar entirely.New Hampshire, by contrast, is […]
Back when Ellen Degeneres was a standup, before she became a skinny white Oprah, she had a gag in her act that went, “My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She’s ninety-seven now, and we don’t know where the hell she is.”It’s not just a great joke, but it’s a […]
Mike Luckovich on the rodeo clown incident. Everyone is officially horrified, and then a (Republican) Texas politician invites the man who insulted the President of the United States down to Texas to do it again. There is a way of responding that quells this stuff, and a way that winks, and either the GOP has some […]
Start with the easy one: Brian Anderson’s Dog Eat Doug, starring Sophie the Chocolate Lab and Doug the Be-diapered Pre-Toddler.I’m a cynical and hard-nosed critic, but, despite that, I really love this strip. Which is okay, because Brian also does this kind of thing and so neither of us is as simple in outlook as […]
Yesterday, I added little to Darrin Bell’s cartoon because it would have dulled the point of his commentary.Today, I can add little to Mike Baldwin’s Cornered because there’s nothing much to add except that it really, really cracked me up in the best possible way … after a pause.And then every time I looked at […]
