Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for October 20, 2015

I’m surprised she’s allowed in Palm Beach with a name like Consuela.

One of the southern states – Alabama or Mississippi, I think – just recently got around to ratifying the Constitutional Amendment repealing slavery. I mean like within the past 5 years.

I think she means the war between the states.

The War of Southern Miscalculation is what I call it.“We don’t need armaments factories because we’re brave.”

Congratulations to GT’s Canadian cousin yesterday, Justin Trudeau, new PM of Canada.

“War of Northern aggression”Right, it’s all Fort Sumter’s fault for accepting all those Confederate cannon balls.

Yeah, I have a tough time feeling like an aggressor when THE OTHER GUYS FIRED THE FIRST SHOTS.

Good people, the term “Civil War”, although used continually since that time, really isn’t a proper use of the term. A civil war is, by definition, where two factions are vying for control of the government. This was not the case here. The southern states were not trying to take control of the national government. They were trying separate from it. Hence, the War for Southern Independence really is more proper. I’ll leave the other choices above to the partisan factions….

Was it just 30 years ago that Republicans had a conscious? In today’s GOP Lacey would be branded as a RINO Liberal Commie Fascist Socialist Traitor.

When the GOP hears about this, they’ll repeal it.

If you people will take the time to read my post I called it the war between the states. My second post was an attempt at making fun of pocos, and his “southern claptrap” statement. The war between the states was what I always heard it called. You Yankees have no sense of humor…

There is a community in New York where home ownership is limited to people of German ancestry.

RUN, JOE, RUN!

Justin Trudeau’s boxing “career” consisted of one match in 2011, when he was already a Member of Parliament and it was against a Conservative Senator. He did to that Conservative politician what he did to the Conservative Party yesterday — beat him into submission. His body covered with tattoos consists of a tattoo of the planet Earth on his left bicep which he got when he was 23. He has since augmented that tattoo by surrounding it with a raven to look like art work done by the Haida people of the Pacific Northwest.

It sounds like you’re familiar with “boys town.” Maybe, you can serve as a guide.

I like to think of it as the “Southern Snit-fit.” (Lincoln won the election so we’re taking our ball and our bat and starting our own country, where we can buy and sell anyone we want. So there!!)

I hope you have a lot more fun in the remainder of your life.
