Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 10, 2012

No wonder the 30-year-old Jeff can’t get a date — he doesn’t know how to treat women.

Jeff must be on drugs.

Groupon is going broke anyway.

Is this really about Groupon? Ha! I guess Jeff has to find a way to get his life back and is looking into some scheme as always…

“I wonder what Alex is reading.”

Integral equations?

Groupon going broke? Looks like it’s time for an over priced, over valued IPO!!

“What’s a groupon?”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupon

“Wow, that’s the last groupon I waste on you.”

Hah, ha, ha what a gas.

I want to remind everyone to wish John Pike a Happy Birthday! today. The USMC was formed on Nov 10th 1775 and all marines are born on that day. JP is 237 years old today so you need to speak loudly.

I know that technique. Insult and blame the one you hope to guilt-trip over imaginary wrongs until they invite you to live with them rent-free.

“I wonder if the Red Rascal is going to have to re-name his horse now?”

How do we know Red Rascal’s steed is named Petraeus? I’ve finally given up searching for the horse-source strip. Leftwingpatriot could probably find it, but he’s on holiday. Sigh.

Alex’s black armband is a little premature, isn’t it?

LWP would be proud, spacedude. Must be some sexy mares in Afghanistan. Shame on that stallion!

All,Only discovered in the news today that ‘Petraeus’ is the name of a high ranking US official.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20280224 Is that the source of Masterskrain’s comment on renaming the horse? I always assumed it was a random latin name GBT had selected!Mike

Thanks, LightBuzzYears – your evidence is more compelling than mine.

I am not defending Jeff Redfern but Joanie and Rick raised him.

montessoriteacher:He could have publicly fessed up, thereby eliminating the possibility of blackmail. But no, this christian country can’t have adulterers for leaders. And I thought that the religious right got shellacked last Tuesday. Silly me.

Jeff’s was a nice touch. Joanie’s insult was undeserved. A gift is still a gift even if purchased at a discount.

You know Betrayus was on the fast track when he was dating the daughter of the USMA commandant at West Point (my pop’s alma mater), bet Gen Knowlton would like that pleb year back.

People don’t want nice, they want consistency.

Where have you gone LWP, our nation turns it’s lonely eyes to you.

Does anyone remember the doonesbury comic strip about harmonic convergence? I need to find a copy of this strip for a class project…….travistikka@yahoo.com

thank you

Doonesbury referred to it a moronic convergence, I belive it was in 1987

I suspect General Petraeus had many reasons for wanting to resign. This one is just a new variation of the classic: “I am resigning to spend more time with my family…and girlfriend.”

How can something be wrong. The Democrats are in the White House for another four years.

The “Jeff going down in flames” arc may resume now that elections are over. It’s sure to be cringy.

Actually, if Jeff wanted to do the right thing, he would have brought the flowers to the hospital PERSONALLY. It’s called a visit and it’s what you do when your mother is in the hospital.

“That won’t worm your way back into her heart”

There’s an old saying: “Mothers are a deep abyss, at the bottom of which we always find forgiveness”. I think maybe, just maybe Jeff might finally be growing up. All he needs is the love of a good woman and he’ll be all set.
